Sweet Potato and Sesame Balls

Overview

When I returned from my morning run, I stopped by the vegetable market to buy vegetables. I saw a vegetable farmer pushing a tricycle selling sweet potatoes at the entrance of the market. The sweet potatoes in the cart were fat and big, which immediately aroused my desire to buy. I bought three kilograms and took home. I happened to have a bag of sesame paste at home, which can be used as fillings. Making sesame balls can save a step. We have all the ingredients and everything is done in 60 minutes. Enjoy the fragrant sesame sweet potato balls~~~

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Peel and wash the sweet potatoes, cut into small pieces, put in a steamer and steam until cooked (10-15 minutes)

   

2. 2 Put the steamed sweet potatoes into a container while they are still hot, add glutinous rice flour, flour, and white sugar and stir evenly (add this amount slowly according to the humidity of the sweet potatoes, and the sweetness depends on your own taste)

   

3. 3 Make mashed potatoes without water

   

4. 4 Knead the dough into a smooth and delicate dough, set it aside to rise, and then prepare the filling.

   

5. 5 Pour out the white sesame seeds and serve on a plate.

   

6. 6 Use a bowl to hold the sesame paste, add some hot water (don't add too much) and add some peanut oil.

   

7. 7 Use chopsticks to stir the sesame paste into puree, and pour in the crushed peanuts (I just slap it with the back of a knife a few times, so it doesn’t break too much)

   

8. 8 Divide into dough balls (ready to wrap)

   

9. 9 Take a small portion of potato noodles, roll it into a ball, flatten it, and press it slightly firmly with your thumb to form a small nest.

   

10. 10 Add filling.

    

11. 11 Knead it well and close it on all four sides.

    

12. 12 Prepare each one one at a time and set aside.

    

13. 13 Roll the sesame seeds into the potato balls and press them lightly to make the sesame seeds sink into the potato balls and prevent them from falling off easily.

    

14. 14 Heat an appropriate amount of peanut oil in a pot. When the oil temperature rises, fry the potato balls over medium-low heat. After setting, turn the potato balls from time to time to avoid burning. (The process takes about 2 minutes).

    

15. 15 Fry until the potato balls float and turn golden brown. At this time, turn up the heat and let the heat force the oil out of the potato balls. Quickly pick them up and drain the oil through a strainer.

    

16. 16 Use kitchen oil-absorbing paper to absorb excess oil and enjoy.
