"Sesame balls are the precursor to fried mochi donuts. Often found on dim sum menus, they are also a staple in Chinese bakeries like Joy Luck House, in the heart of Chinatown. A round of rice flour dough is filled with red or mung bean paste, or lotus seed paste, deep fried, and rolled in sesame seeds." - Jamie Liu
