    Instructions

    Taro Filling

    • Steam the taro wedges in a steamer on a medium high heat for about 30 minutes until they feel tender.

    • Mash or blend the steamed taro into a smooth paste.

    • Transfer the taro paste to a pan. Add Emborg Cooking Cream and sugar. Cook on low heat, and stir until everything is mixed.

    • Chill to at least room temperature before using.

    Sesame Balls

    • Place the sweet rice flour and sugar in a bowl. Pour in half of the water and mix until the sugar has dissolved.

    • Gradually add more water while mixing until the flour is moistened.

    • Rub your hands with a small amount of sesame oil and then roll the dough into a cylindrical shape. Cut into 15 equal pieces and shape them into balls.

    • Press in the centre of each dough ball to make a hole. Add the taro paste to the hole. Close the hole and shape into a ball with an even thickness.

    • Coat the balls with sesame seeds and press them into the dough.

    • Fry the sesame balls in a pot containing hot oil at 140–150 °C for about 4–5 minutes and turn up the heat. Remember to rotate them.

    • When the surface is browned, remove the sesame balls from the pot.

    • Serve and enjoy!
