Easy Buchi Recipe

Buchi or Butsi is a popular Chinese dessert that Filipinos love. It is a common dessert served in Chinese restaurants in the Philippines. Buchi is a variant of Jiandui, a type of fried Chinese pastry made from glutinous rice flour. The pastry is coated with sesame seeds on the outside and is crisp and chewy. Inside the pastry is a large hollow, caused by the expansion of the dough. The hollow of the pastry is filled with a filling usually consisting of lotus paste, or alternatively sweet black bean paste, or red bean paste. They are also sometimes referred to as sesame balls.

The Filipino Buchi is a sweet rice cake with red bean paste inside and covered with sesame seeds outside. Fastfood chains, like Chowking, have buchi in their menu. The buchi in our recipe has red bean paste as the main ingredient. Other variants use ube as a filling.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup sweet red bean paste

  • 1 ½ cups sweet rice flour

  • ¾ cup water

  • ½ cup sesame seeds

  • 2 to 3 cups cooking oil

Directions

  • In a mixing bowl, form a dough by combining the sweet rice flour and water then mix well.
  • Divide the dough into small separate individual pieces.
  • Roll each individual piece of dough until a spherical (round) shape is formed.
  • Make a hollow spot in the center of the round dough by pressing the center.
  • Using a teaspoon or a small measuring spoon, scoop the sweet red bean paste and stuff it in the hollow space of the dough. Fill us much as you can but don’t overfill.
  • Seal the dough and roll it once more until the shape is spherical again.
  • Place the sesame seeds in a bowl then roll the dough over it. Make sure that the seeds stick on the dough.
