​Buchi 

​Buchi or Sesame balls are made from glutinous rice flour dough that are filled with sweet fillings, rolled in sesame seeds and deep fried. This was first try making  Buchi and I used red bean paste in a can that I bought from an Asian market.

Cooking the Red Beans or Mung Beans takes a process and I find the one in can tastes the same anyway and saves a lot of time. 

​If you would like to make it from scratch, boil enough water in a  pan, add the mung beans and cook for about 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the beans are soft then add sugar according to your liking. 

​INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 1/2 cups glutinous rice flour
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • sweet red bean paste
  • sesame seeds 
  • cooking oil

HOW TO MAKE BUCHI:
  • Mix the flour, salt and water together in a bowl. Knead together just enough to form into a dough.
  • Divide the ball into small pieces and shape it into a ball then flatten the middle of the dough with your thumb. Spoon 1 tablespoon of sweet red bean paste into the middle of the dough. 
  • Wrap the dough around the bean paste. Pinch the edges together to seal and roll it until the shape is round.
  • Roll the shaped dough over the sesame seeds.
  • Heat the cooking oil in a deep pan. (350 deg F)
  • Fry the balls in batches in the hot oil until golden brown.
  • Serve hot. Enjoy!
