Ingredients
- 4.5 cups (500 g) sticky rice flour
- 7 oz (200 g) butter
- 7 oz (200 g) black sesame powder
- 8 oz (250 g) sugar
- 1 tsp wine

- Mix together the butter with sesame powder, sugar and wine. You need to heat it a little bit. Make small balls about 0.3-0.4 oz (10 g) each.
- Take 1/2 cup of sticky rice flour. Add water into the flour and make a flatten dough. Cook it in boiled water and take out when done. Let it cool down. Then put it in the rest of the sticky rice flour. Add water and knead until the dough is smooth.
- Make the dough into small pieces about 0.3-0.4 oz (10 g) each. Make it like a ball using hands first and then make a hole in the ball like a snail. Put the sesame ball into it and close it up.
