How to Make Purple Sweet Sesame Balls

Purple sweet sesame balls are a delightful treat with a chewy exterior and sweet, nutty filling. Here’s a simple recipe to guide you.

Ingredients:

- 200g purple sweet potato, steamed and mashed

- 100g glutinous rice flour

- 2 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)

- 80g black sesame seeds, ground and mixed with 1 tbsp sugar

- Oil for frying

Steps:

1. Prepare the dough: Mix mashed purple sweet potato with glutinous rice flour and sugar. Knead into a smooth dough. If too dry, add a little warm water.

2. Make the filling: Roll the ground sesame seeds into small balls, about 1cm in diameter.

3. Shape the balls: Take a dough portion (about 30g), flatten it, and wrap a sesame ball inside. Seal tightly and roll into a smooth ball.

4. Fry: Heat oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Gently drop the balls in and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown and puffed up (about 5-7 minutes).

5. Drain: Remove and drain on paper towels. Let them cool slightly—they’re best enjoyed warm!

These vibrant purple balls are not only delicious but also visually appealing. Serve as a snack or dessert, and savor the perfect combo of sweet, nutty, and chewy!
