Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 lb Glutinous rice powder
2/3 c Boiling water
2 Chinese brown slab sugar
-(sticks)-
-ÿÿ
1/2 c Dark brown sugar
1/2 c Sweet red bean paste
1/2 c Sesame seeds
Peanut oil for deep-frying

PLACE THE GLUTINOUS RICE POWDER in a mixing bowl.
Bring the water to a boil and add the sugar; stir
until completely dissolved. Pour sugar water into the
rice powder; stir until well mixed. Gather the dough
into a ball and knead until smooth. Cut dough in half
and roll each half into two 10-inch long rolls. Cut
each roll into 10 pieces. Take one piece and roll into
a ball. Flatten it and place a 1/2-inch round piece of
sweet red paste into the center of dough. Fold over
sides to enclose filling and roll into a ball. Repeat
until all the balls are made. Wet your hands with
water and roll one ball in your hands to moisten the
ball. Dip the ball into a dish of sesame seeds until
the entire surface is covered. Press lightly to help
the seeds adhere. Add enough oil to a wok to a depth
of 2 1/2-inches. Heat to 350F. Deep fry balls for 8 to
10 minutes. As they expand in the oil, take a pair of
chopsticks and squeeze the balls to help them expand
and fill with air. The balls should triple in size,
float to the top of the oil and turn golden brown.
Remove and drain on paper towels. Makes about 20 balls.
