      <content>I believe you're referring to Chinese fried sesame balls. AKA Gin Doi 
Filling:
1 can of red bean paste (found at most Asian market)
 
Dough:
1 lb mochiko (glutinous rice flour, roughly 1 box)
3/4 cup sugar (brown sugar is fine as well)
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 Tbs of vodka (optional)
1 1/4 cups water (may need more or less depending on alt.)
1 cup sesame seed
 
Heat 4-6 cups of oil to 360&#176;F in a large wok or frier.
 
In a large bowl, combine mochiko, sugar, and baking powder.  Combine vodka and water--add to flour mixture and mix well.  
 
Lightly knead dough and divide into 4 equal portions.  Roll each portion into a log--cut each log into 6 equal pieces. Flatten each piece and place heaping 1/2 tablespoon of filling in the middle of each piece. 
 
Fold/pleat dough around filling and roll it into a ball.  Roll each ball in sesame seed.  
 
Fry balls, a few at a time, in hot oil.  As balls rise to the surface of the oil, raise temperature of the oil and press lightly on each dumpling to the bottom of the pan. Continue stirring to evenly brown the dumplings.  When dumplings are golden brown, remove from oil and drain.  </content>
