Sesame Balls

Make these crispy sesame balls that’re golden crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, with a sweet red bean paste for your dim sum party or Chinese New Year feast.

If you’ve ever visited a Chinese bakery or dim sum restaurant, you’ve likely encountered these golden, sesame-coated delights called Jian Dui (煎堆), Ma Tuan (麻团) or Chinese sesame balls. These iconic treats are not only visually appealing but also a delicious blend of textures and flavors that have been cherished for generations.

Sesame balls aren’t just a treat—they’re a cultural symbol. Their roundness and golden color signify good fortune, making them a must-have for celebrations such as Chinese New Year. Beyond their cultural importance, they’re beloved for their balance of sweetness, crispiness, and chewiness—a trifecta of satisfaction.
