directions

  • In a medium saucepan, heat the oil until a deep-frying thermometer reads 350°.
  • In a saucepan, bring 1 cup water to a boil; stir in the brown sugar until dissolved. Place the rice flour in a medium bowl and, using a fork, stir in the sugar syrup until a sticky dough forms.
  • Place the sesame seeds in a bowl. Using your hands, roll about 2 tablespoons dough into a ball.
  • Roll the ball in the sesame seeds; repeat with the remaining dough.
  • When the oil is hot, working in batches, fry the sesame balls until golden brown, about 4 minutes per batch.
  • Transfer the sesame balls to a paper-towel-lined plate. Serve with the warm honey.

  1. This was an interesting recipe. I have had something similar to this at a local Asian restaurant here, I think they use sweet potatoes. I had some difficulty with the dough holding it's shape. The first few were still a little doughy on the inside, so I cooked them a little bit longer, this made they chewy. The sesame seeds give a really nice nutty flavor. I think the honey is too strong, next time I'll try adding some water to it or maybe even use a simple syrup. Made this for the "Cooking with an Asian Accent" event - March 2009

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
