Ha Noi Street Food Collection Vol : Glutinous Rice Balls With Sugar And Sesame Dees

The secret of this sweet is in the composition of the sugar.
The best little baits come from Lu Village, Thanh Tri province.

Ingredients
400 ml coconut milk 4 tbsp sugar 180 g glutinous-rice flour 20 g rice flour 200 ml warm water 100 g palm sugar, in cubes of 1 x 1 cm, 30 cubes 2 tbsp roasted sesame seed

Step By Step !

1. Heat the coconut milk with the sugar and set it aside.
2. Mix the two kinds of flour and add warm water to it. Make a solid, hard dough.
3. Take a small piece of dough the size of a marble, flatten it and put a piece of palm sugar in the middle. Fold the sides to close it in, and make it into a small ball.
4. Repeat this until you have 30 little balls.
5. Put a pan of water on the heat to boil and add the balls in batches of 8. As soon as the little balls float upwards, remove them from the boiling water. Cool them quickly in ice-cold water.
6. Pour the sesame seeds on the working surface and roll the balls through them.
7. Put 8 little balls in a small serving bowl and pour the tepid coconut mixture over them.
