Method
Step 1 of 9
In a bowl, dissolve the sugar with hot water and add 2 tablespoons of oil into sugar syrup, then crack the egg and beat until well combined and set aside.
Step 2 of 9
In another bowl, sift in the baking powder, flour and baking soda, still until well mixed and make a well in the centre.
Step 3 of 9
Pour the first mixture into the well and start mixing and kneading until it forms a dough.
Step 4 of 9
Rest the dough for a minimum of 30 minutes, covered with a wet towel.
Step 5 of 9
Roll out dough and form it into small balls.
Step 6 of 9
Dip the balls into a bowl of water and coat them with white sesame seeds. Do the same for all the dough.
Step 7 of 9
Heat up a pot of vegetable oil under high heat. Once the oil is hot, drop the balls, and reduce the heat to low-medium.
Step 8 of 9
Deep fry until the balls float and turn golden brown. The balls will crack open, you'll know they're completely cooked once they start to float and turn golden brown.
Step 9 of 9
Drain on paper towel and get ready to serve.
