【Tianjin】Pumpkin and bean paste sesame balls

Overview

Sesame dumplings are also called fried dumplings in North China, Ma Yuan in Northeast China, Zhendou in Hainan, and Youdui in Guangxi. They are an ancient traditional fried pasta. It’s not complicated to make either. It is made of fried glutinous rice flour dough and added with sesame seeds. Some are filled with sesame paste, bean paste and other fillings, while some are not. Sesame balls are made by kneading glutinous rice flour with sugar, oil and water and then frying it in a pan. It is named because it is round in shape and covered with sesame seeds on the surface. Pumpkin sesame balls are golden in color, soft and glutinous in texture and sweet in taste. They will definitely be popular on the Spring Festival table. The pumpkin at home is going bad today, so I might as well mix it with glutinous rice flour and fry some sesame balls. The bean paste is also ready-made, so it’s very simple. Work started on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. When I got to work, my son was sent to his grandma's house during the day. His father and I also ate at work. The food at home was starting to be used up again. I was at home this weekend and consumed the food that was about to go bad as soon as possible.
