Cooking steps

1

Combine glutinous rice flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl, blending well.
2

Gradually add water while kneading, forming a soft and pliable dough that is not sticky.
3

Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Flatten each piece and fill with about 2 teaspoons of sweet red bean paste, then seal to shape into balls.
4

Roll each filled dough ball in a shallow dish of white sesame seeds, pressing gently to coat evenly.
5

Heat vegetable oil in a heavy pot to 325°F (medium heat). Carefully drop the sesame balls in batches and fry for 6–8 minutes, turning regularly for even browning. Remove when golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels before serving.

Personalized Q&A

Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?

The key ingredient is glutinous rice flour, which gives the sesame balls their signature chewy, mochi-like texture. Combined with sweet red bean paste, it creates the classic interior and flavor that define this dessert.

Q. How do I achieve a golden, crispy crust on sesame balls?

Carefully heat the oil to 325°F before frying, keeping it at medium heat. Fry the balls for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, so they brown evenly without burning. Proper oil temperature and gentle rotation ensure a crunchy, golden crust.

Q. How can I prevent my sesame balls from bursting or becoming soggy?

Ensure dough is well-sealed around the filling to prevent leaks. Maintain steady medium heat during frying; oil that is too hot causes bursting, while too cool makes the crust oily and soggy. Let the balls drain well after frying to stay crisp.

Q. How many calories are in each serving of these fried sesame balls?

Each 70g serving contains about 230 kcal, with 38g carbohydrates (66% of energy), 4g protein (7%), and 7g fat (27%). This makes it a moderate energy dessert, primarily from carbs and fat.
