What is sweet rice flour and regular flour? Is that just all purpose? Is all these flour available at the asian market...b/c I have not heard of sweet rice flour before...maybe it's a different name.

@hnubntsavaj Sweet rice flour is also called glutinous rice flour, it's the flour used to make Mochi; and is found in most Asian markets. Regular flour is all purpose flour which I usualy buy from my local grocery store, but most Asian markets should have this too :)

i know this is a pretty odd question but can we make the sesame balls with all purpose flour? I am just curious because I saw a recipe that calls for that but I just wanted to ask you if this is only made with rice flour

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@okamiheaven14 Rice flour is what gives it the "squishy" texture. If you use all purpose flour the texture will be different - more like regular fried dough :)

I know thats rude..but do you have a boyfriend/husband?

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@Velcrol Yes, I have been married for almost 3 years now :)

I like your videos ... but I really dislike when you type the ingredients and instructions ... it just takes so long .. maybe you shouldn't have it being typed out like that .. but instead just quickly show it .. sorry .. some people like me don't have patience .. otherwise .. thanks for your videos!!!

@trixiefly 11 will my mom made these when i was little so no worries just press all the grease out and a lot of the oil will come off and you are ready to eat them but i am not sure you can bake them because i might not turn out good but you can try deep frying first and then bake second and i think this might work

[trixiefly11]

Has anyone ever tried baking these? Does it turn out ok if you have? I want to make these but I am on a diet so I want to cut down a bit on the calories and want to know if I can bake them.
