  12. Previously, 27 made it with sesame oil, which was darker and more beautiful. Today, it was replaced with corn oil, and the color became a lot lighter. Because the smell of sesame oil is stronger, 27 used corn oil. As for the stuffing, 27 added melon seeds, walnut kernels, and sesame seeds when frying the meat. This makes it more fragrant. The meat is salty, and the sweet kidney bean stuffing, orange and raisins are added together. The conflicting flavors are unusually matched~
