Peanut Butter Sesame Seed Balls Recipes

SESAME SEED DESSERT BALLS (JIAN DUI)

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a wok or deep-sided, heavy saucepan, begin to heat the oil to reach 250 F. Make sure that there are at least 3 inches of oil in the wok.
• Spread the sesame seeds over a piece of wax or parchment paper. Place a small bowl of water beside the sesame seeds.
• Dissolve the brown sugar in 1 cup of the boiling water.
• Place the rice flour in a large bowl. Make a well in the middle and add the dissolved sugar and water mixture. Stir until you have a sticky, caramel-colored dough, adding as much of the remaining 1/3 cup of boiling water as needed (don't add the water if not necessary).
• Pinch off a piece of dough roughly the size of a golf ball. Use your thumb to make a deep indentation in the dough and then the thumb and index fingers of both hands to form the dough into a cup.
• Roll 1 level teaspoon of sweet red bean paste into a ball. Place the red bean paste in the hole and shape the dough over the top to seal. It is important to make sure the red bean paste is completely covered. Continue with the remainder of the dough.
• Dip one ball at a time into the small bowl of water (this will help the sesame seeds stick to the dough).
• Roll the ball over the sesame seeds. Repeat the process with the remainder of the dough balls.
• Add the sesame seed balls, a few at a time, to the hot oil.
• Once the sesame seeds turn light brown (about 2 minutes), use the back of a spatula or a large ladle to gently press the balls against the side of the wok or saucepan. Continue applying pressure as the balls turn golden brown and expand to approximately 3 times their normal size.
• Drain the deep-fried sesame seed balls on paper towels. Serve warm and enjoy.
