Cantonese Dim Sum Pastry Recipe with Sweet Sesame Filling

All-purpose flour: 320 grams
Glutinous rice flour: 120 grams


Vegetable oil: 120 grams


Sugar: 160 grams


Water: 280 grams


Salad oil: 60 grams


Toasted sesame seeds: 40 grams


For the filling: Place sugar, water, and salad oil in a pot. Cook over low heat until the water boils and the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat. Add glutinous rice flour and sesame seeds, and mix well. This prepared filling will be very sticky. Use a spatula to mix evenly, then spread it flat. Freeze for 30 minutes until ready for use.
