Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams glutinous rice flour
- 150 milliliters water
- 50 grams sesame seeds
- 20 grams natural sweetener (such as stevia or monk fruit)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 500 milliliters coconut oil for frying
- 50 grams crushed nuts or seeds for filling (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour, baking powder, and natural sweetener. Mix well to ensure the sweetener is distributed evenly throughout the dry ingredients.
Slowly add in the water while stirring with a spoon or spatula until the mixture forms a smooth dough. If the dough is too dry, add a bit more water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
Divide the dough into equal portions, each weighing about 30 grams. If using a filling, flatten each portion into a disc and place a small amount of the crushed nuts or seeds into the center. Gently fold the dough over the filling and roll it into a smooth ball.
Spread the sesame seeds evenly on a plate. Roll each dough ball in the sesame seeds, pressing gently to ensure the seeds adhere to the surface.
Heat the coconut oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of dough into the oil. If it rises to the surface with bubbles forming around it, the oil is ready.
Carefully add a few sesame balls to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 3 to 5 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the sesame balls from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Allow the sesame balls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your sugar-free sesame balls as a delightful snack or dessert.
