Sesame Balls-Jian Dui
Famous dim sum fried sesame balls with glutinous rice flour and red bean paste; Also known as Jian Dui in Chinese.
Let me guess, have you ever tried those fried sesame balls in dim sum halls? Possibly yes! Those sesame balls usually are served to enjoy between savory dim sum dishes with various sizes. In fact, sesame ball is a very common breakfast dish popular far beyond Guangdong cuisine (cause the popularity). It gets several nicknames in Chinese—Jian Dui or Ma Tuan. We usually have this as breakfast during my high school time.
Then more and more popular healthy ideas come into life, so we did not cook it frequently in following years. However when it comes to holiday, a small batch of sesame balls will bring almost every guest back to old memories. I feel it is necessary to record how to make this fried sesame balls at home. It is a tradition to make some dishes with glutinous rice (sweet sticky rice) for Chinese people. For example we have Chinese rice dumplings (Zongzi) for Dragon Boat Festival,Chinese tteok for Middle Autumn day, sesame rice dumpling for Lantern Festival and NianGao for Spring Festival. Glutinous rice is gluten free rice with lower production relatively in China.
Chinese people treasure the healthy value of sticky rice and thus providing various yummy dishes not only for holidays, but also daily desserts and breakfast- like glutinous rice balls with coconut, mixed congee and glutinous rice balls with crushed peanuts.
