HOW TO MAKE SESAME BALLS | 3 DIFFERENT FLAVORS
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Sesame balls are an addicting snack that's not hard to make. It's outer shell is packed with crispy, fragrant sesame seeds and the inside is hollow, glutinous, and chewy, with a delicious filling. I show you 3 different flavors, taro, savory pork, and the the classic mung bean flavor. This is a popular snack eaten across many different Asian countries, each having their own twists and takes on it. While the mung bean flavor is the most common one that you will find, I show you my take on an additional 2 fillings, the savory pork being my favorite of these 3. There are some helpful tips and I show you the technique to make them in this video. I hope you enjoy it.

There are many different fillings for this sesame ball snack. The most classic flavor is the mung bean one, which is found abundantly. You can definitely get creative with the fillings. Just think, what will taste good with coconut milk (since it is in the dough)? Which is your favorite filling or what kind of filling would you create? Take care everyone 🙏

Honestly, the only kind I’ve ever had is the kind with the red bean filling. I ate it at a local restaurant in my town. I love them! 🤤
The aesthetics and editing is absolutely incredible. I love seseame balls, perhaps addicted to them. Never made them at home yet but will try out the recipes when I'm home. Keep up the incredible work
Beautifully made video! I love sesame balls, so I’m going to make ask three of these. The pork filling surprised me, as I’ve never seen that before, but it sounds yummy. The pork filling sounds like it would also be great to eat by itself or on salad like Larb, which is my favorite dish of all time.
They become so uniform and perfectly round..but how?... Its like David to say that-- he recognizes excellence, he strikes me as a perfectionist too.

It's the way they expand in the oil during the frying process that gives them this nice round shape. Thank you Anna 🙏 Have a great day and evening 😊

OMG!! I am so making it today. I love this snack and usually, I have to drive 250 miles roundtrips to buy them - most of the times, they are old and stale. I live too far from Asian community or Asian markets. There's a small Asian grocery here that I can get a few things I need, though I can say that I have more in my pantry than this little market.

I bought this from a small Chinese grocery store many many years ago and I don't think it's around anymore. The wok didn't have any branding on it and was sold as it was.
What camera do you use?
Do you have a recipe for candied ash gourd ? In the Philippines, we have a sweet pastry, an off shoot of mooncakes called hopya except its molded by hand with different fillings . One is mung beans with caramelized onions or half fried green onions but my favorite filling is mung bean paste ord red ben paste mixed with green or caramelized onions and chopped candied ash gourd (kundol) giving it a crunchy texture. AMAZON sells it at a shockingly high price.
Can I make these ahead and freeze them! Will they explode during frying?
Where did you buy your pan you cooked the mung beans in from? I've been looking for one like that.

It's best to make them the same day. If you wanted to make them in advance, you can possibly freeze the sesame balls raw and fry them the day of serving. Space them out on a baking sheet so they don't stick, when freezing them. Try frying a couple after freshly making them to taste how great they are fresh though 😊 Thank you
