Description

Delight your taste buds with these Crispy Sesame Balls, featuring a crunchy exterior and a soft, flavorful filling. Perfect for gatherings or cozy nights in.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

  • 2 cups glutinous rice flour
  • 3/4 cup water

For the Coating:

  • 1/2 cup sesame seeds

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup sweet red bean paste

For Frying:

  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine glutinous rice flour with the right amount of water, mixing until you form a smooth, pliable dough. Make sure there are no lumps for the best texture.
  2. Shape the Balls: Take small portions of the dough and flatten them in your hand. Place a teaspoon of your chosen filling in the center and carefully fold the dough around it, rolling it into a ball shape.
  3. Coat with Sesame Seeds: Roll each ball in a plate of sesame seeds, ensuring they are evenly coated for that perfect crunch when fried.
  4. Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. You’ll want enough oil to submerge the balls for even cooking.
  5. Fry the Balls: Once the oil is hot, carefully add the sesame balls in batches, frying them until they turn golden brown on all sides. This usually takes about 4-5 minutes per batch.
  6. Drain and Cool: Remove the crispy sesame balls and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will enhance the flavor and texture of your sesame balls.
  • Temperature Check: Ensure the oil is at the right temperature to avoid greasy balls; too cool will make them soggy.
  • Batch Frying: Fry in small batches to maintain the oil temperature and ensure even cooking.
  • Experiment with Fillings: Don’t hesitate to try different fillings based on your mood or what you have at home.
  • Watch the Cooking Time: Keep an eye on them while frying to avoid overcooking or burning.
