Method

  1. 1 Soak red beans for 8 hours, then cook until tender for 45 minutes and simmer with sugar to form a thick filling.
  2. 2 Mix the melted chocolate into the bean paste while it's still warm, then let it cool until it solidifies.
  3. 3 Knead the glutinous rice flour with the regular rice flour and warm water for 8 minutes until the dough is soft like an ear.
  4. 4 Wrap the filling in the dough, roll it into a ball, then roll it in roasted sesame seeds and press gently so the sesame seeds stick.
  5. 5 Fry in cold oil at 140 degrees, then gradually increase to 170 degrees for 12 minutes, starting with the coldest oil to ensure the crust puffs up without cracking.

    For step 5: evenly spray oil on the sesame-coated pastries, fry them in an air fryer at 150 degrees for 8 minutes, then increase to 175 degrees for another 5 minutes, flipping at the 8th minute so the crust puffs up without cracking.
