Ingredients

Mash sweet potatoes immediately with a fork when is cooked.
Add in glutinous flour and sugar to form a dough.
Divide dough into equal portion of your preferred size.
Flattened dough on your palm, fill with half tbsp of red bean paste and wrap into a ball.
Sprinkle each ball with some water and coat with raw sesame seeds evenly.
Heat up some oil in a pan, deep fry the balls until golden brown.
Dish out and put on paper towel to drain the excess oil.
