I recommend baking them in a oven because it makes the surface crunchy. The frozen sesame balls, from both Step 6 and 8 can be warmed up in a microwave, lightly baked in a oven, or deep-fried as well. Recipe by Happa

Steps

1

In a bowl, combine the koshi-an, ground sesame seeds and salt. Wrap the bowl with plastic wrap and let the flavors of the ingredients marry while they rest.
2

Knead the shiratamako, sugar, milk, and vegetable oil well until it is as soft as your earlobes.
3

Divide the dough into 8 equal sections and wrap with the filling.
4

Simmer the dough for about 2 minutes. Soak in cold water and rinse off the starch.
5

Strain away the water and coat the balls with white sesame seeds.
6

These are very chewy as is. Leftovers can be frozen for later.
7

After simmering the sesame balls, bake them in an oven for 10 minutes at 200℃ (This is to make their surfaces crunchy).
8

The outside is crunchy and the inside is chewy. You can freeze the baked sesame balls to store them, too.
