Sesame Balls-Jian Dui

Prepare the small dough

1. In a small bowl, take around 2 tablespoon of glutinous rice flour out and mix with around 15ml water. Knead to until smooth.
2. Bring some water to boil and then cook the small dough for around 2 to 3 minutes. Prepare a bowl with cold water on the side. When the small dough is ready, transfer out and add it into other sticky rice flour.

Prepare the main dough

1. In a large bowl, mix the left flour with sugar. And then add the small dough in. Break with hand and slowly stir in water. Continue kneading until smooth dough.
2. Further shape the dough into long log and then divide into 20 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round ball.

Assemble the sesame balls

1. Shape the small glutinous rice balls into a bowl and then wrap around 1 teaspoon red bean paste in. Seal completely and shape into a around ball again.
2. Prepare two bowls: one with clean water and the other with sesame. Take one ball with one hand, quick dip with water and then roll the ball in sesame bowl with another hand. This is a personal tip to make the process easier. Press the balls several times so the sesame seeds can sticky to the surface. Repeat to finish all the sesame balls.

Frying the balls

1. Heat enough oil (at lest cover the balls) until 120 degree C (or you can test the temperature with a smaller ball). Carefully add the sesame balls, slow your fire immediately and slowly deep-fry the balls until slightly golden brown. Turn off fire; transfer out and absorb extra oil with paper. Cool down for several minutes and enjoy!
