Ingredients
- 250 grams glutinous rice flour
- 240 milliliters water
- 60 grams sugar
- 200 grams sweetened mung bean paste
- 100 grams sesame seeds
- 500 milliliters cooking oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour and sugar.
Step 2
Gradually add water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously until a smooth and pliable dough forms.
Step 3
Take a heaping tablespoon of the dough and flatten it into a small disc in your hand.
Step 4
Place a small amount of sweetened mung bean paste (about a teaspoon) in the center of the disc.
Step 5
Carefully wrap the dough around the filling, ensuring it's completely sealed. Roll it into a ball between your palms.
Step 6
Spread the sesame seeds on a flat plate.
Step 7
Gently roll each filled dough ball in the sesame seeds, ensuring the surface is evenly coated.
Step 8
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the cooking oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 9
Carefully lower the sesame-coated balls into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd; fry in batches if necessary.
Step 10
Fry the buchi until they are golden brown and floating, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 11
Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked buchi and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 12
Allow the buchi to cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
