Making this Sesame balls make me recall my college days when I get to have this in Ongpin. You can fine this kind only in the chinese restaurant. Here, in the village I live there's a chinese restaurant but they don't make any of this kind or dimsums. If you don't like too sweet, you can reduce it to 130g (although its not that sweet, just a medium sweet) and frying this balls is very tricky. Oil is too hot it will have a burn golden ball and the inside is still gooey, if the oil is just slightly hot, your ball will be absorbing and drench with oil. You have to have a trial frying to have the correct temperature for this or if you have a candy thermometer then do use of it until it register 170°. Happy eating my friends!
