Instructions:

Step 1

Toast the Rice Flour and Sesame Seeds: In a dry skillet over medium-low heat, toast rice flour and 2 tbsp of sesame seeds until light brown and aromatic. This enhances Belekoy's flavor.

Step 2

Prepare the Sweet Syrup: In a separate pot, combine brown sugar, water, apple juice, and vanilla extract. Bring to a gentle boil until sugar dissolves, creating fragrant syrup.

Step 3

Mix and Cook: Gradually add toasted rice flour and sesame seeds to the syrup, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Cook over medium-low heat until it thickens (about 10-15 minutes).
