Form the Balls
Divide the dough into 24 equal portions. Flatten each portion in your palm and place about 1 tablespoon of red bean paste in the center. Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling and roll it into a ball.

Fry the Sesame Balls
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, gently place the sesame balls in the oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
