Sesame balls are the perfect dessert to celebrate Chinese New Year. With its nutty taste and crunchy consistency, sesame is used in both Asian and international cuisine.
The fried sesame balls work like this: 100g sugar 150 ml hot water 300 g glutinous rice flour 200 g red bean paste (also called Anko) 80g sesame seeds 1 liter vegetable oil, for deep frying. For cheese lovers, there are the delicious fried cheese balls (Tirokroketes) and the vegetarian spinach falafel balls with feta.
