Ingredients

Directions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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).

  4. 4

    Shaping: Grease a surface with oil to prevent sticking.

  5. 5

    Shape and Roll: Transfer the mixture, shape it into small pieces, and roll in sesame seeds for that classic Belekoy texture and flavor.
