Steps:
- Dump the rice flour in a large bowl and make a well in the center.
- In a smaller bowl, stir together the sugar and boiling water until it has dissolved. Pour it into the well in the rice flour and add the cold water. Combine to make a dough and then knead in the bowl or on a work surface dusted very lightly with rice flour for 5 minutes, shaping it into a ball.
- Dust your hands with some rice flour and shape the dough into 12 balls, each of which is roughly the size of golf balls.
- Holding a dough ball in 1 hand, use the thumb of the other and make a hole in the dough to form a cup. Press 2 pieces chocolate, 1 on top of the other, in the hole and gather the edges of the dough together to encase the chocolate and seal the dough. Do this with each blob of dough, then roll each of the blobs in your hands until it is perfectly round, then roll the ball in the sesame seeds.
- In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over but not touching a pot of barely simmering water, break the second piece of chocolate into pieces and stir with a wooden spoon until it starts to melt. Once melted do not stir again, but leave it over the hot water until you are ready to serve.
- Heat the oil in a deep-fat fryer or wok to 350°F (175°C), or until a tiny piece of the dough browns in 15 seconds. Carefully deep fry the sesame seed balls, a few at a time, until the sesame seeds turn golden brown and the balls start to float to the surface, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Once cooked, place the sesame balls on a tray lined with paper towels to drain. Serve warm with the melted chocolate poured over or passed on the side. If you wish, you can cut open one of the balls on each serving plate and place a strawberry or cape gooseberry in the bed of chocolate.

Steps:
- Chocolate and tahini: Place milk chocolate in large bowl over a pot of barely simmering water, making sure the bowl does not actually touch the water. As the chocolate melts, stir with a rubber spatula until smooth. Remove from heat, wipe bottom of bowl, and place on a dry towel on the countertop.
- Fold in tahini in three batches, turning bowl until well combined. Fold in half the butter; when it's fully combined, slowly stir in the rest until very smooth, making sure there are no air bubbles. Note: It is necessary to completely emulsify the tahini. Empty jar into the bowl of a mixer and beat, using paddle attachment, until smooth and oil is combined, about 30 seconds on medium speed. This can also be done by hand, by whisking until very smooth and oil is combined. Keep at room temperature.
- Assembly: Place foil cups into mini muffin pans. Fill each to the top of the foil cup with chocolate-tahini mixture. Tap the pan on the countertop to settle the mixture. Sprinkle a few toasted sesame seeds in the center of each candy. Refrigerate until set, 1 hour. Remove from pans and devour.
SESAME BALLS
When we were children, we adored zeen doy(sesame balls). The dough is fried until golden brown so it is both crisp and chewy from the glutinous rice flour. It is eaten year-round, but especially for New Year's and for birthday celebrations. As the dough fries, it expands, so the Chinese believe if you eat Sesame Balls your fortunes will expand similarly.

Steps:
- Dissolve the brown candy in 1 cup of boiling water and set aside to cool overnight.
- Place the rice flour in a large bowl. Make a well and add candy water all at once. Stir until the water is incorporated; the dough will be smooth but slightly sticky.
- Dust hands lightly with rice flour and roll dough into a thick rope. Cut the rope into 24 equal pieces, roll each piece into a ball and flatten to make a 2 1/2-inch round.
- Using the thumbs and index fingers from both hands, pleat the edge of the dough to form a cup. Place one index finger into the cup and gently press the dough into the opposite palm on all sides of the cup to create a smooth, even surface and to make the dough even thinner.
- Add a scant 1 teaspoon of the red bean paste mixture. Gently pack the filling down. Gather the edges of the dough over the filling and, again, pleat until the hole is about 1/2 inch in diameter. Squeeze together the dough, pressing to seal the dough securely. Roll between palms to form a ball. Continue filling the remainder of the dough. Place a sheet of waxed paper on the counter and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Roll and press the outside of each ball in the sesame seeds.
- In a 8-inch wide, 5-inch deep pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking, about 330 degrees on a deep-fat thermometer. Carefully add 6 sesame balls at a time, and cook over medium heat until golden, 6 to 7 minutes. As the balls float to the surface, begin to press them gently with the back of a metal spatula against the sides of the pot. The balls will expand as they are gently rotated and pressed. Increase the heat to medium-high and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Place on a plate lined with several thicknesses of paper towels. Repeat with remaining sesame balls. Set aside oil to cool before discarding. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Make the red bean filling: In a medium bowl, combine the red beans with 1 cup (240 ml) of water. Cover with plastic wrap and soak overnight.
- Drain the red beans, then transfer to a small saucepan with the remaining 3 cups (720 ml) of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover and cook for 1 hour, until soft enough to mash with a fork.
- Add the sugar and cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid evaporates and a thick red bean paste forms.
- Transfer the red bean paste to a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the paste to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Make the dough: In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, whisk the hot water with the light brown sugar until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the glutinous rice flour to a medium bowl and use a spoon to create a small well in the center.
- Pour the sugar syrup into the well and stir for 5 minutes, until the dough is well combined and no longer sticks to the bowl.
- Lightly dust a clean surface with glutinous rice flour. Turn the dough out and knead for 5 minutes, until it forms a smooth, round ball. Use a little bit more flour or water as needed.
- Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Roll the pieces into small balls, then flatten into discs about ½-inch (1 ¼ cm) thick and 2½-inches (6.5 cm) in diameter.
- Place 1 teaspoon of red bean filling in the center of a piece of dough. Fold in the edges to cover the filling, then roll into a ball. Roll the ball in the sesame seeds until the dough is covered. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
- Fry the sesame balls for 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain and let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Combine sugar and shortening in a bowl to make a paste. Add rice flour, baking powder, and ice water and mix everything into a dough ball. Wrap in plastic film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Remove dough from fridge and separate into 6 equal portions. Roll into balls and flatten the balls into thin disks. Portion lotus paste into 6 equal parts and roll into small balls. Set a lotus paste ball in the center of the flattened dough disks and wrap dough around the lotus paste. Roll between the palms of your hands until all the seams are gone and no lotus paste is showing.
- Pour sesame seeds onto a saucer and roll finished balls in the sesame seeds. Roll balls between your palms one more time to make sure sesame seeds stick.
- Pour oil into a pot and heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Drop balls into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the hot oil with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb the excess oil
- Serve - be careful! The lotus paste inside the balls will be very hot.
