plenty of oil, about 400 ml
Preparation:

Cut the dough into pieces weighing 25 g, that is, into 10 equal parts. Cover the cut pieces of dough with cling film, this is to prevent the dough from drying out.
After that, take the bean paste and shape it into the same form of sausage and divide it into 10 equal parts. Wet your hands each time you make the balls.
Then pour the sesame seeds into a deep bowl. And pour water into another smaller bowl.
Moisten your hands while shaping the ball of dough, then make a small depression with your finger, so that the dough is like a small vase. Place a shaped ball of bean paste in the center of that recess, and gently close the ball with your fingers, then work the ball through your palms once more, so that it is smooth and nicely shaped.
Repeat it all with the rest of the material until you finish.
Roll each ball in water, then the other hand in sesame seeds, everything must be well covered.
After rolling in sesame seeds, roll the ball with your hand once more so that the sesame seeds stick to the dough better.
After that, take a slightly larger pot with deeper sides, not too deep, pour about 400 ml of oil and heat it at a lower temperature to 70 °C. You can put a smaller piece of dough in the oil, if bubbles start to gather around the dough, it means it is ready, and you can gently drop the balls into the heated oil.
With the help of a large spoon with holes, move the balls evenly, circularly constantly, frying lasts from 3 to 5 minutes, pour a little oil over the balls. The balls must be slightly brownish.
When the balls have acquired a light golden brown color, it is time to take them out. Remove with the help of a larger slotted spoon or a wide metal strainer and place on kitchen paper to absorb excess fat. Serve immediately warm. Enjoy in your bites! Buon appetito!
NOTE: do not fry the balls for too long! They must not be very brown. Be careful when taking out and putting in the balls, so they don't get punctured. With the help of a spoon, move the balls in a circular motion in one direction, then pour a little oil over them. As soon as they get a light golden brown color, take them out of the oil as soon as possible.
