I remember when I was a child, there was an old man who would come by in the afternoon to sell agar jelly and mochi near our house. The kids would ask the adults for some change to buy them. The sweet and crunchy agar jelly or the soft and chewy mochi filled with sesame and peanut sugar powder... that's the taste of childhood.

Mix the agar powder with the winter melon tea, then bring to a boil until the agar powder dissolves. (The amount of agar powder may need slight adjustment depending on the brand.)

Pour into a mold and refrigerate until set.
3

Place the glutinous rice flour, milk, and condensed milk in a bowl, and mix with a spoon. Heat in a 900-watt microwave for 1 minute and 25 seconds.
4

Place in a lightly oiled bag or on parchment paper and knead until it becomes chewy.
5

Mix the sugar, peanut powder, and sesame seeds together with a spoon. Lightly oil your hands, take a piece of mochi, roll it into a ball, flatten it, place some sesame peanut powder in the center, roll it into a ball again, and coat with peanut powder.
