Make the dough

• Combine the glutinous rice flour, sugar and salt in a bowl.
• Slowly pour in the boiling water while mixing.
• Knead until you get a smooth dough.

Shape the balls

• Roll the dough into a log and cut it into balls of about 30 g each.
• Flatten each ball and place your choice of filling in the center.
• Close the dough around the filling and roll into a smooth ball.

Chill the balls

• Freeze the filled balls so the filling stays cool while the outside cooks.

Coat with sesame

• Soak the raw sesame seeds in water.
• Coat the outside of each ball with the soaked sesame seeds.

Fry at low heat

• Heat the oil to 130 °C (270 °F).
• Fry the balls at low heat until the outside is set.

Fry until golden

• Raise the heat to 175 °C (350 °F).
• Fry until golden brown, watching closely as they can burst.
