How do I go about making Chinese Fried Sesame Dessert Balls (Jian Dui)?
Here's a recipe for Chinese Fried Sesame Dessert Balls (Jian Dui):

Ingredients:

Red Bean Filling

• 1/4 cup red bean, dried
• 4 cups water
• 1/4 cup sugar

Dough

• 2/3 cup hot water
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 2 cups glutinous rice flour, plus more for dusting
• 1/2 cup sesame seed

For Frying

• 7 cups vegetable oil

Instructions:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Add the sugar and cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid evaporates and a thick red bean paste forms.
4. 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.
5. Make the dough: In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, whisk the hot water with the light brown sugar until the sugar dissolves.
6. Add the glutinous rice flour to a medium bowl and use a spoon to create a small well in the center.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Roll the pieces into small balls, then flatten into discs about 1/2-inch (1 1/4 cm) thick and 21/2-inches (6.5 cm) in diameter.
10. 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.
11. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
12. 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.
