fried sesame ball 煎堆

First time making this sesame ball 煎堆. I always wanted to make this cause my mom love this fried snack food and she tried before but fail to make it puff. Cross our fingers, we did it this time!


I went back home town, try this sesame ball 煎堆 with mom. She told me not to say any bad things (it may turn bad and not puffing), my grandma who told her that. Hahaha... Lucky us, we had all the sesame balls in good shapes! Hahaha

Anyway, most of our sesame ball turning out good, puffy and crispy. Just few of it not as puffy as the rest. But still very tasty.
