The traditional sesame balls comes either plain or with black sesame, I don’t have black sesame so went for the plain ones, it will make a good Christmas dessert if you want something more than cookies this holiday!
In a bowl, mix glutinous rice flour and sugar. Divide the dough into 12–15 equal pieces, and shape it round. Roll each ball in water first so it can coat on the sesame seeds until fully coated. Heat oil in a deep pan to 160–170°C (320–340°F). Fry in batches, gently stirring so they don’t stick, until golden brown and puffed (~6–8 minutes). Remove and drain on paper towels.
