Sesame Balls (Jian Dui) are a popular Chinese dessert known for their crispy golden exterior and chewy interior. Made from glutinous rice flour, these deep-fried treats are coated with a layer of sesame seeds, giving them a fragrant and nutty flavor. The inside is often filled with sweet red bean paste, lotus seed paste, or black sesame paste, creating a delightful contrast in texture and taste. When freshly fried, the crispy shell gives way to a soft and slightly chewy center, making each bite a satisfying experience. Often enjoyed during festivals and special occasions, sesame balls symbolize good luck and prosperity in Chinese culture. Their delicate sweetness and satisfying crunch make them a favorite treat for both casual snacking and celebratory feasts.
