Do you have a recipe for those YUMMY "Fried sesame balls"?!
Answers: Does anyone have a recipe for "Fried Sesame Balls"? I always order them when I dine at my favorite chinese food restaraunt, about 40 minles away. I love them and crave them sometimes but I can't always go 40 miles to get them. I want to learn to make them myself but I can't find a recipe anywhere. "Fried Sesame Balls" is what they are called on the menu. I don't know if this is a special name used by the restaraunt or if this is an actual name for this tasty, chewy, treat.
I believe they are called jien duy.
A good recipe can be found here:

Fried Sweet Sesame Balls
Mix 1/2 c rice powder with 6 T cold water into a thin batter. In a pot, heat 1/2 c water and 1/2 c sugar to a boil. Add batter and stir until clear and thick. Cool slightly and add 1-1/2 c rice powder. Knead until soft. Roll into 12 balls and cover with damp cloth. Prepare 12 T into 12 balls of filling (sweet red bean paste is tradiitonal -- you could try raisins in brown sugar and maple syrup rolled into balls). Poke a hollow into the dough balls and insert filling. Smooth back into a ball shape, pinching the dough edges to seal around the filling. Roll balls in wet hands to moisten them. Roll in sesame seeds. Roll balls in dry hands to make them stay on the dough. Heat oil (3 inches deep) in a wok. Lower balls with a large slotted spoon, removing spoon when they float. Press balls to side of wok to expand the balls. Lower heat, rolling balls for even cooking with spoon. Drain and cool when puffy and golden brown.
well yes, i dont know if ur talking about this one but here goes:you get dough then you take tiny little pieces and smooth them out, you put watever you want in there and then roll it up with the thing inside it to make a ball. You then put them in the oven till they turn a bit yellowish- goldish.. BTW if you wanna put poppy-seeds on them they would look more appealing to other people instead of looking at a piece of dough: after u roll them up and before u put them in the oven, you crack an egg but don't let the yellow stuff come oout, just the clear stuff. when u put them in a small bowl: you only need one egg. you get the kind of "paintbrush" that u use in the kitchen. or just use something, and spread it on the top on the circle after that you spray poppy seed on the part of the egg and voila you put it in the oven
