👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 Make the filling: soak the peeled split mung beans in hot water for 30 minutes, then steam for 20-25 minutes until soft.
- 2 Mash the steamed mung beans while still warm using a blender or by pounding until smooth.
- 3 Cook the mashed mung beans together with sugar, coconut milk, pandan leaf, and salt over low heat, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and can be shaped, about 10-15 minutes. Let cool, then shape into small marble-sized balls and set aside.
- 4 Make the dough: mix the glutinous rice flour, all-purpose flour, mashed potato, sugar, and salt in a large bowl, stir until well combined.
- 5 Gradually pour in the warm water while kneading by hand until the dough is smooth, not sticky, and can be shaped. Adjust the amount of water as needed.
- 6 Take a portion of the dough, flatten it in your palm, place one ball of mung bean filling in the center, then shape it into a ball, sealing it completely so the filling is fully covered.
- 7 Moisten the surface of each onde-onde ball with a little water, then roll it in a bowl of sesame seeds until evenly coated all over.
- 8 Repeat the process until all the dough and filling are used up, then arrange the finished onde-onde on a tray.
- 9 Heat the cooking oil over low-medium heat. Fry the onde-onde in oil that isn't too hot so they cook evenly without burning too quickly.
- 10 While frying, gently press the onde-onde with a wooden spoon or slotted spatula so they puff up perfectly and the sesame seeds don't fall off.
- 11 Fry until the onde-onde turn golden brown and puffed up, then remove, drain off the oil, and serve while warm.
💡 Tips
• Make sure the mashed potato is completely smooth with no lumps so the onde-onde skin stays soft and doesn't crack while frying.
• Fry over low-medium heat with oil that isn't too hot at first, since oil that's too hot will burn the sesame seeds before the inside is fully cooked.
• Gently press the onde-onde with a slotted spatula while frying so the inside puffs up perfectly and becomes hollow.
• The mung bean filling can be swapped for red bean paste or chocolate for a different flavor variation.
