sesame balls
Sweet fried spheres
Sesame balls are a Chinese pastry made of glutinous rice flour dough filled with sweet paste, typically red bean or lotus seed, then coated in sesame seeds and deep-fried until golden and hollow inside.
The crispy exterior and chewy interior make them a popular dim sum dessert and street food: We ordered sesame balls to finish the meal.
