Simple and Easy-to-Make Sweet Potato Balls

First, cook the red bean paste. Put the red beans and rock sugar in a pot. I used a pressure cooker and cooked it twice, and it was done. Taste the sweetness when it's done; if it's not sweet enough, you can add some white sugar and stir it.

Put it into the blender and blend into red bean paste.

Steam the sweet potatoes until cooked.

Put in the white sugar and mash the sweet potatoes into a paste.

Add the glutinous rice flour and stir until combined.

You can also knead it into a ball. Since I don't want to get my hands dirty, I directly use a potato masher to mix and divide it into dough balls of about the same size.

Roll into a ball, then roll it in sesame seeds.

Take the divided dough, press it flat with your hands, wrap in red bean paste, seal it, and press it flat again.

Coat both sides of the wrapped sweet potato cakes with sesame seeds.

It's all wrapped up.

Brush oil on the electric griddle, heat it up, and place the sweet potato cakes on it to fry until both sides are golden brown.

Add oil to the pot and heat it until it reaches 60% hot, then put in the sweet potato balls. Fry them slowly over low heat until they float. Use a slotted spoon to press the sweet potato balls twice, and they will be almost cooked.

The sweet potato balls that just came out of the pot are soft and glutinous.

The red bean paste cake doesn't look good, but it tastes great.

The red bean paste I made myself is made with real ingredients.
