Instructions

1. Put 140 g coconut milk and 100 g sugar in a saucepan. Cover, set the heat to low and swirl until the sugar dissolves; bring to a simmer.
2. Slowly pour the hot sugar liquid into 140 g glutinous rice flour, stirring with a spatula, until a thick paste forms. Add 40-60 g more glutinous rice flour in batches and knead into a smooth, non-sticky dough.
3. Knead in 1.5 tsp vegetable oil until absorbed. Wrap the dough in cling film and rest it for 30 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, divide the lotus or red bean paste into 16 pieces of about 12 g each and roll them into smooth balls.
5. Divide the rested dough into 16 pieces of about 25 g each, roll into smooth balls and cover them so they do not dry out...
6. Press a dough ball into a small bowl, add a lotus paste ball, close and pinch the seam, then roll smooth with lightly wet hands.
7. Roll each ball in the sesame seeds, pressing so they stick firmly.
8. Heat oil to 260°F (about 127°C) and fry over medium heat for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
