About Sesame seed balls

Sesame seed balls, also known as "Jian Dui," are a popular dessert in Chinese cuisine and other East Asian cultures, often enjoyed during festive occasions. These golden-brown treats are made from glutinous rice flour, water, and sugar, rolled in sesame seeds and deep-fried to perfection. Their signature feature is a chewy, crispy exterior and a hollow, airy inside, typically filled with sweet red bean paste or lotus seed paste. Sesame seeds, a key ingredient, are rich in healthy fats, antioxidants, and minerals such as calcium and magnesium, offering some nutritional benefits. However, the deep-frying process and high sugar content make this dessert calorie-dense and less ideal for those watching their intake of fats and added sugars. Moderation is key to enjoying these delightful treats while balancing their indulgent nature with their nutritional offerings.
