Sesame Seed Balls:

Ingredients

Makes about 20

• 1 lb glutinous rice flour
• 1 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
• 1 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup red bean paste or 3 oz dark chocolate, chopped into small pieces
• 1 cup sesame seeds
• oil for deep frying

Directions

Put the rice flour into a large bowl. Bring the water to a boil and add the brown sugar, stirring to dissolve.

Pour the sugar water over the rice flour and stir together with a wooden spoon to combine. You can add up to 1/3 cup more water if the mixture seems dry and isn’t coming together. Once the dough is cool enough to touch with your bare hands you can stop using the spoon and just knead the dough – don’t overwork it or it will become tough. Know More Click Here
