Ingredients
- 1 cup glutinous rice flour
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup sesame seeds
- 1/2 cup red bean paste or mung bean paste (for filling)
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix glutinous rice flour, water, and sugar until a smooth dough forms.
- Divide dough into 10 equal pieces and roll into balls. Flatten each ball slightly.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon of filling into each, then seal and reshape into balls.
- Roll each ball in sesame seeds to coat completely.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry balls for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown.
- Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve warm.
Notes
- Add 1 tsp matcha powder to the dough for a green tea flavor.
- Mix shredded coconut with sesame seeds for extra texture and aroma.
- Try savory fillings like minced meat or cream cheese for a unique twist.
- Reheat in a toaster oven or dry skillet to restore crispiness.
