Quick and Easy 4-Ingredients Sesame Ball / Jian Dui 芝麻球/煎堆

Sesame Ball / Jian Dui 芝麻球/煎堆

Sesame ball, or jian dui is a commonly found fried pastry in Chinese dim sum restaurant. The skin of the pastry is mainly made of glutinous rice flour, which contributes to its chewy texture. If you enjoy eating muah chee, mochi, or ondeh-ondeh, you are likely to love this too.

As the name suggests, the pastry is shaped into sphere, and fully coated with sesame seeds, which gives a golden brown hue and tasty crunch after being deep fried. Sesame balls can be plain, or with fillings. Few commonly found fillings are lotus paste, peanuts, mung bean paste and red bean paste. Since I have half packet of lotus paste leftover from making mooncake , the choice of the filling became obvious.

This is probably the simplest recipe that you can find, only 4 ingredients (excluding the frying oil) used. By using the store-bought lotus paste as filling, these delicious balls can be ready within 30 minutes.
