~Sesame Balls~

My own version of sesame balls with chunky peanut butter filling. You can add any fillings you desire into the sesame balls. This is a very easy and simple recipe to make. A good snacks and good to go with coffee or tea.

Sesame balls:

Ingredients:
3 cups cup glutinous rice flour
¾ cup sugar
1 cup water (include the water for small dough)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup roasted white sesame seeds (Store bought)
½ cup chunky peanut butter for filling
water for dipping
more glutinous rice flour for dusting
oil for frying.

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, take ¼ cup glutinous rice flour out and mix a little bit of water at a time. Knead until smooth and form into a ball.

2. In a pot bring some water to boil and then cook the small dough for around 2 to 3 minutes and once cooked soak it in a cold water to cool down.

3. In a large bowl, mix the rest of the flour with sugar and baking powder. And then add the cooked dough in. Break it with hand and slowly stir in water. Continue kneading until smooth dough.

4.  Shape the dough into a long log and then divide into equal portions. Shape each portion into a round ball.

5. Shape the small glutinous rice balls into a bowl and then wrap around the filling (peanut butter) in. Seal completely and shape into a around ball again.

6. 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 to the sesame bowl with another hand. Make sure the balls are covered with sesame seeds.

7. Heat enough oil in a deep fryer to at lest cover the sesame balls.
 Slowly add the sesame balls once the oil is ready and cook until slightly golden brown.

8. Cool it down and Enjoy!
