Ingredients
| 1 cup | glutinous rice flour |
| 1/4 cup | sugar |
| 1/2 cup | water |
| 1/2 cup | red bean paste |
| 1/2 cup | sesame seeds |
| — | vegetable oil for frying |
Instructions
- 1 In a mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour and sugar.
- 2 Gradually add water to the flour mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms.
- 3 Divide the dough into small, equal pieces and flatten each piece into a disc.
- 4 Place a small spoonful of red bean paste in the center of each disc.
- 5 Carefully wrap the dough around the filling, sealing it completely, and roll into a ball.
- 6 Spread the sesame seeds on a plate and roll each ball in the seeds to coat evenly.
- 7 Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
- 8 Fry the sesame balls in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- 9 Remove the sesame balls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Tips
Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to prevent the sesame balls from absorbing too much oil.
