Categories     Bean     Appetizer     Fry

Yield 20 balls

Number Of Ingredients 6

1-1/3 cups water
4 sticks Chinese brown slab sugar
1 pound glutinous rice powder/flour
1 can sweet red bean or lotus seed paste
1/2 cup sesame seeds
Peanut oil for frying

Steps:

  • Bring water and sugar slabs to a boil until sugar dissolves. Place the rice flour in a large bowl, and add hot sugar water slowly while stirring. Then knead dough until smooth, and make two logs about 1.5 inches in diameter. Cut into 1.5 inch rounds. Roll each into a ball and make a well with your thumb. Place in a small spoonful of paste in the center and close up the ball. Roll into a smooth ball, dip in water, and then roll in sesame seeds completely to coat. Repeat for the rest of the dough. Heat peanut oil to about 325 C (no hotter than 350 C or it will burn). Place balls in frier, leaving room for them to expand. Squeese with chopsticks every three or so minutes to let in air. After about five or minutes they should fill with enough air to float to the top. Fry about 10-12 minutes, or until golden. Drain on paper towels and let cool a bit before eating, but serve warm.
