I made these sesame seed balls today. They're called 'buchi' in the Philippines. I've never seen them made with black sesame seeds so I tried it out. Apparently black sesame seeds don't come in 'try me' packs. Once you go black...

Buchi (sesame seed balls)

Red bean paste:
Boil 1 c. red beans till soft. Drain. Add 1 c. brown sugar and melt.

Dough:
1 c. hot water, 1/3 c. brown sugar, 1 1/2 c glutinous rice flour

Stuff golf ball-sized dough with red bean paste. Seal tightly. Dip in water before rolling the balls in sesame seeds. Deep fry 2 minutes in oil.

Online recipes say these double in size but my balls did not. Some even instruct you to push them against the side of the pan. I only did this to 3 balls. This proved to be very dangerous. The balls freakin' exploded and I had to use ninja moves to evade the oily detonation. I busted my balls making these and they just busted. They tasted just as good though. In conclusion, black or not these balls are delicious.

Moral lesson: never push balls against pans.
