Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, pour in the glutinous rice flour and sugar. Then, slowly add the sugar water mixture while mixing with a spoon. When there is no more standing water, knead the mixture with your hands until it is uniform throughout with no lumps.

Step 2

Next, divide the dough into your preferred size and shape into shallow discs and make a depression in the middle with your fingers. Then spoon in some ube halaya and close up the disc and roll between your hands to shape into a ball. Repeat until all buchi are shaped.

Step 3

Preheat a pot of oil to frying temperature (350 to 375ºF).

Step 4

In a small bowl filled with sesame seeds, roll each ball until fully covered with sesame seeds.

Step 5

Fry the balls until a nice golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes.

Step 6

Remove from oil and place on a tray or plate to let dry and cool. Enjoy!
