Black Sesame Rolls 芝麻卷
I used roasted whole black sesame seeds for this recipe. If your black sesames are raw, you can dry fry them in a pan using low heat with no oil. Keep turning and flipping them until they become aromatic and slightly puffed up. They will also become crispier than when they were raw. Taste test if you are unsure. On low heat, this will take approx. 15-20 minutes. These rolls are best eaten when freshly made. If you put it in the refrigerator, it will harden. You will likely have to steam it again if you had stored it in the fridge. Or put it in the microwave but the texture will not be as good when reheated.

Glutinous Rice Balls 糯米糍
The filling recipes included are black sesame/walnut and coconut/ peanut. But there are lots of variations you can incorporate…. Popular fillings include red bean paste, mung bean paste, lotus seed paste, durian, mango, ice-cream, or even meat fillings. With all soft fillings like durian and ice-cream, you’ll need to freeze them into ball shapes for easy wrapping. You may want to colour the skin with food colour or natural colour. I put Butterfly Pea tea in the coconut milk to make it blue. I used cooked glutinous rice flour to cover the outside of the skin. Roasted soy powder, shredded coconut and ground peanuts are also popular options. Storage: They can keep at room temperature for a day but best to freeze them if you’re not consuming on the day you make them. Thaw for approx. 2 hours or until it softens before eating. They taste quite fresh even after freezing.
