Steps

1. 1

   Soak the mung beans in water (1cm above the beans) for 1 hour in a saucepan. Then cook them for 20 minutes.

2. 2

   Add the shredded coconut and mix well. Form balls with the paste.

3. 3

   In a saucepan with 20cl of water, melt the sugar.

   In a bowl, pour the glutinous rice flour and slowly add the sugar water. Mix well. It is normal if the dough is sticky.

5. 5

   On a floured surface, roll out the dough and make discs approximately 8 cm in diameter.

6. 6

   Place the bean paste balls on the discs, cover them and roll them gently to obtain nice, homogeneous balls.

7. 7

   Place the sesame seeds on a plate. Dip each ball in water and roll them in the sesame.

8. 8

   Heat the frying oil in a wok or deep fryer. Brown the sesame balls. When they are golden brown, they are ready.
