Laughing Sesame Balls


With Chinese New Year just around the corner (Thursday February 19th), I thought it would be good to share some of my favourite New Year recipes.  These tasty treats got their name because when cooked, the balls open slightly and resemble a laughing head.  Eating them will bring lots of happiness in the new year so eat up!

Ingredients
- 200g raw sugar
- 400g plain flour

- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 50g rice bran oil
- 2 eggs

- Add 20g water and kneed 30 seconds at interval speed
- Empty dough onto bread mat.  Divide into four portions and then divide those portions into a further 10 portions. If the dough is slightly wet, add a little flour.  The dough needs to be wet so the sesame seeds stick to it.

- Cover each ball in sesame seeds
- Heat rice bran oil in a small saucepan and fry each ball until golden brown... and enjoy!
