Sesame Balls

Pregnancy Craving Fulfilled

Ingredients: Flour Dough
1 bag glutinous rice flour
1 cup rice flour
1/2 cup mash potato flakes
1 can coconut milk (14 oz)
1/2 cup water
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup sugar
1 bag sesame seeds
oil

Filling: Mung Bean
1 cup mung bean
sugar - how much you add depends on how sweet you want the filling to be


Steps:

1. Boil the mung beans in water for about 10-15 minutes or until mushy/soft. I found out by accident that if you boil it soft enough you don't have to mash or blend it together; I actually prefer it this way because the filling will be softer then if you had done it the usual way. Once it's done boiling, pour the mung bean into a strainer to strain out the water. Once you're done straining the water put the mung bean into a bowl and add sugar according to how sweet you want it to be; set aside to cool.

2. Mix and blend the flour dough. Pour everything into a big bowl; glutinous rice flour, rice flour, potato flakes, coconut milk, water, salt, baking powder, and sugar. Blend with a blender at medium speed until all ingredients are mixed. Remove the blender and continue to knead the dough; I kneaded mine for about 5 mins. Then let it sit for about 15 mins.

3. After letting the dough sit for 15 mins the mung bean should be done cooling off. Break off part of the dough and start rolling it into a ball; how much dough you break off depends on how big you want your sesame balls to be.  Once you have a ball, pat it flat, scoop and put some mung bean filling in the center, roll up the edges of the dough to cover the filling and roll again to form a ball. Once you have a ball shape again roll it in the sesame seeds and set aside to be deep fry later.

4. After you're done rolling all your balls, pour oil into a frying pan. Use enough oil where your sesame balls will be completely submerge in the oil. Once the oil is hot turn the heat to medium and add the sesame balls. Fry the sesame balls for about 15 mins; constantly turning the sesame balls to make sure they are cook evenly.

(With this recipe and measurements I made about 20-25 medium size sesame balls)
