Sesame Balls are classic Chinese treats made with glutinous rice flour dough coated in sesame seeds, then fried until golden, crisp, and chewy. They have a lightly crunchy outside with a soft, stretchy center, often filled with sweet red bean paste, lotus seed paste, or another smooth filling.
This dessert is naturally gluten-free when made with safe glutinous rice flour and gluten-free fillings, because despite the word “glutinous,” it does not mean gluten, since food naming apparently enjoys causing panic. Sesame Balls are perfect for dim sum, celebrations, snacks, or sweet treats when you want something crisp, chewy, and lightly sweet.
Why you’ll love it:
Crisp outside and chewy inside
Naturally gluten-free with safe fillings
Great for snacks, dim sum, or celebrations
Lightly sweet with a nutty sesame flavor
