Shame, sesame is the best!

Grandma's is always the best!

Thanks, I'm really proud of how they turned out. It's definitely going to be a regular treat now!

Is it similar to soy cream?

I read that it's basically the same ingredients but the execution is different, I imagine they taste different.

It tastes good but you shouldn't have them everyday.

Fat: yes

Calories: yes

Sugar: ok

I used sunflower oil, it's similar to canola oil.

Me neither. I saw how simple it is to make on youtube this week so I tried, so easy and so good.

It's also my favorite, we usually go to a bakery after dim sum to get the big ones

Yes, I read it's also called that.

Yes, I used a saucepin

Premade is so much easier and consistent (not chunky).

Me too, I saw this week how simple they are to make so I decided to give it a try, best decision of the week! I'm going to be making them often now!

I did. You can make it yourself but it takes time (1-2 hours)

Very cool to see how similar yet different regional food is in south east asia. How does mung bean paste taste compared to red bean paste?

Interesting, is it also made with rice flour?

I want to try with lotus fillings (I've only ever tasted it with red bean)

I learned a new word today, thanks!

Thank you! They're my birthday present to myself :D

It's exactly like dim sum and you get to control the bean paste to dough ratio (I like more bean paste). They're surprisingly easy to make.

You can use either white or toasted sesame, it doesn't change much for the cook time. The brown ones is because the oil was too hot (they're still really good).

It's surprisingly simple to make. I did 1 1/2 cup of glutunous rice flour and mixed in 1/2 cup of water with 1/3 cup of sugar brought up to a boil. My dough was too sticky so I kneaded in extra flour. For the bean paste, I fried it a bit on a pan and once cooled, rolled into balls. I like more bean paste so I rolled out the dough thin (around 2-3mm) and the wrapped the bean balls. Then rolled them in sesame seeds, either get the seeds or the ball wet (I wipped a bit of water on the balls). Then it's deep frying time!

Edit: ofc you should check out a recipe, I followed the instructions from 'arcade with alvin' dbz episode.

Haha, busted!

It's sweet red bean paste inside rice flour, so it has a chewy exterior, the inside is similar to almond paste but red bean, and there's the toasted sesame on top. It's delicious, one of my favorite deserts!

I ended up preferring the overcooked ones (dark brown), they had a stronger toasted sesame flavor. Also these were mostly bean paste compared to dim sum or store bought ones.

They look amazing!

I would pop them like m&ms haha

Are those white chocolat covered?
