You can make these sesame balls with just shiratamako.
Even if you don't have sesame seed paste, it's fine to just use anko.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Combine the shiratamako with the amount of water listed on the package. Knead the dough well, and divide into half. At first the dough will be floury, but as you knead, it will become smooth and soft.
- 2
Roll the anko into balls. If using sesame seeds paste, mix it in the anko before forming into balls.
- 3
Flatten out the dough with the palm of your hands, place the anko in the center, and wrap. Here in the photo, I placed the dough on the surface to show how much I flatten it out. If you don't place the anko in the center of the dough, the anko will ooze out while deep-frying.
- 4
In a bowl, add plenty of toasted white sesame seeds, and coat all sides of the ball from Step 3 by gently pressing the dough. The sesame seeds will stick to the dough with just the moisture from the dough.
- 5
Heat the oil over low-medium heat (140-150 °C), and deep-fry the sesame balls. After a couple of minutes, once the sesame balls begin to crack on their surface, as shown in the photo to the right, quickly remove them from the oil.
- 6
If you keep rolling the sesame balls around in the oil while deep-frying, you could reduce the amount of oil so that half of the sesame balls are peeking out of the oil. It will be difficult to roll them around if you are making a big batch, in this case, you should use plenty of oil.
- 7
Don't worry even if the sesame balls crack open. If you immediately remove them from the oil, they will return to their original shape. If they don't return to their original shape, close them up with your fingers, being careful not to burn yourself.

Tender and Juicy Low-Cal Chinese Meatballs Tender and Juicy Low-Cal Chinese Meatballs
By cooking the meatballs slowly over a low heat (and using the residual heat), the resultant meatballs are very tender. By boiling the meatballs, you can remove the excess fat and they are healthier. The result is still satisfying. When you are on a diet but want to eat meat, this is a good dish.[How to boil the meatballs]Once the water has boiled, turn down the heat to very low. The meatball mixture is quite soft and they won't hold their shape if boiled vigorously! Shape the mixture into balls right before placing them in the hot water. After placing all the meatballs, increase the heat a little and cook for 3 minutes. Turn the heat off and cover with a lid. Leave them to sit until cooled down. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei -

Petit Sesame Bread Rolls Petit Sesame Bread Rolls
I wanted to make some light sesame bread.If you are making this in a bread making machine, then you can add the olive oil in from the beginning. Add in the sesame last to avoid crush it. It will be fragrant if you sauté the sesames beforehand. The absorption rate will change a bit if you change flours, so you will need to make adjustments once without adding more water. Use 240 g to start with and adjust from there if you are are using domestic flour. Recipe by Pitarou
