【Shanghai】Pumpkin and sesame glutinous rice balls

Overview

When I was with my parents, my mother would buy a piece of lard every Chinese New Year and make glutinous rice balls on New Year's Eve. The breakfast on the first day of the new year would be glutinous rice balls with a rich sesame aroma. My mother-in-law prefers to buy some semi-finished products, which are sweeter, greasier and less fragrant.
