Step 1

In a bowl, add enough water to generously cover the Beans. Cover and soak overnight.

Step 2

Rinse the Beans. In a pot, add 2 cups Water. On high heat, bring the water to a boil. Lower to medium heat and simmer the Beans for 30 to 40 minutes.

Step 3

Rinse the Beans, put in a blender with a little water, and grind into a smooth paste.

Step 4

In a frying pan, on medium heat, add the Bean paste and Condensed Milk. Cook into a thick texture without the liquid. Then transfer to a bowl and set aside to chill.

Step 5

Boil the Water and combine with the Sugar in another bowl (I use a large measuring cup).

Step 6

Put 2 cups of Glutinous Rice Flour in a mixing bowl and make a shallow well in the center. Gradually add in the Sugar Water. Mix well. Add 1/2 tsp of Vegetable Oil and mix well again. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for at least 10 minutes.

Step 7

Scoop out a heaping 1/2 tsp Red Bean Paste. Form into a ball. Make 16 balls. Set in the fridge to chill.

Step 8

Dust some Glutinous Rice Flour on your countertop. Roll out the dough and cut it into 16 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball with your hands and place in a covered plate to prevent drying out.

Step 9

Put Sesame Seeds in one small bowl and set aside.

Step 10

In another small bowl, mix a little water with 1 tsp of Rice Flour and set aside.

Step 11

Use a 1 tbsp measuring spoon to fatten one ball of dough. Make it large enough to add the Red Bean Paste. Fold and pinch the dough around the Paste from the middle and then from the edges. Roll it into a ball.

Step 12

Use a spoon to dip the ball into the Rice flour water for a few seconds.

Step 13

Then put the ball into the Sesame Seeds bowl. Use your dry hand to cover the ball with Sesame Seeds. Roll the ball with your hands again to get rid of excess Sesame Seeds. Set aside.

Step 14

Repeat the same procedure for all 16 balls.

Step 15

In a pot or frying pan, add in Vegetable Oil to a depth of 3 inches deep. Turn the heat to medium. When the Oil reaches 120 C (250 F), add a few Sesame Balls, according to the size of your pot. Do not overcrowd!

Step 16

Use chopsticks to rotate the Sesame Balls until they are evenly cooked. They will pop up to the surface. Use a ladle or a strainer to keep them submerged completely in the oil. Total cooking time is 7-8 minutes. After 5-6 minutes, turn the heat up to medium-high.

Step 17

Once a nice golden brown color is reached, remove and place on a paper towel to drain off the excess oil. Serve warm!
