I always feel bad that I don't know how to cook or make more hmong food or just southeast Asian food, but then I realized that I was just never taught either. So thank you thank you. Your efforts don't go unnoticed
I thought the same too but it’s actually very simple once you make it. I don’t really like fillings in the middle so I stick a couple of mini marshmallows in the middle to make the sesame balls hallow. Give it a try. You’d be surprised.
Your recipe looks simple. I tried making this with a different recipe, made a huge mess in the kitchen and the balls didn’t even turn out. It was pretty sad because it’s time consuming.
When you are forming the dough around the filling, you need to make sure there is no air trapped between the filling and the dough. Any air pocket present will grow and explode due to steam build up as the sesame balls cook.
