Mix the glutinous rice flour and water until smooth.
Heat the peanut oil in a non-stick frying pan. Fry the shallots over low heat until brown, to flavour the oil. Discard the shallots and leave the oil in the pan.
Pour the glutinous flour mixture slowly into the pan over a low flame. Cook for 10-15min, stirring constantly, until the dough becomes smooth and thick, but wobbly. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Mix the peanuts, sesame seeds and sugar in a bowl.
Cut the cooled dough into bite-sized pieces using tongs and scissors. Coat evenly with the peanut mixture. Serve.
TIP: Chill any leftover dough. To serve, heat it up in the microwave oven, cool and coat with the peanut mixture.
