Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 cup ground peanuts
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 cups glutinous rice flour
- 1 cup water
- Water for boiling
Instructions
- In a pan over medium heat, toast sesame seeds, stirring frequently, for about 30 to 45 seconds or until lightly browned and fragrant. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- In a bowl, combine toasted sesame seeds, peanuts, and sugar. Set aside.
- In a bowl, place glutinous rice flour and slowly add water. Combine to form a soft, pliable dough. Knead dough until no longer sticky.
- Portion about 1 teaspoonful and between palm of hands, roll into 1-inch balls. Repeat with remaining dough. While working, cover the formed balls with a damp cloth to prevent from drying out.
- In a pot over medium heat, bring about 4 to 5 inches deep of water to a boil. Add balls and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until they float to the top. Do not overcrowd the pot, cook in batches as needed.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove rice balls from the pot using a slotted spoon, shaking off excess liquid.
- Roll balls in the peanut mixture, pressing down peanuts to fully coat.
Notes
- I use 1 cup of water to 2 cups of flour ratio which I find yields the chewy texture I like. The mixture will look dry at first but keep on mixing with your hands until it gathers into a smooth, soft, and pliable dough.
- Once the balls rise to the surface, they're done. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the water right away to keep from over-cooking and drain well to prevent from wetting the peanut coating.
- Let them cool just enough to touch and begin immediately to roll in the ground peanuts as they'll coat better when still warm.
