Ingredients
- 200 grams glutinous rice flour
- 150 milliliters water
- 100 grams low-fat red bean paste (or sweetened black bean paste)
- 50 grams sesame seeds
- 0 cooking oil spray
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine glutinous rice flour with water a little at a time, and mix until a smooth dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Step 2
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
Step 3
Flatten each ball into a disc using your thumb and place about a teaspoon of low-fat red bean paste in the center. Carefully wrap the edges over the filling and roll it back into a ball, ensuring the filling is completely covered.
Step 4
Spread out the sesame seeds on a plate. Gently roll each filled rice ball in the sesame seeds to coat the surface evenly.
Step 5
Preheat an air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil spray to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Place the sesame-coated rice balls in the air fryer basket, being careful not to crowd them.
Step 7
Air fry for about 12-15 minutes or until the sesame seeds are golden brown, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 8
Remove the Buchi from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-fat treat warm or at room temperature.
