Buchi (pronounced ‘BOO-CHEE) is a deep fried sticky dough filled with red bean paste or ube halaya (sweetened mashed purple yam).
A favorite snack or dessert on the Filipino table, the buchi balls are made of milled glutinous rice, shaped in small round balls, filled with the bean paste, rolled in sesame seeds and then deep fried. The balls are often sold on the street with the buchi balls skewered on bamboo sticks.
Bon appetit!

I buy fresh buchi from the Asian market. Do you happen to have a recipe for it?
I don’t have, but when I come across it, I’ll pass it on to you…But I believe you can easily search or google it in the web. Good luck!
