[@JTaaaaaatta]

Thank you for making these videos, the traditional dishes look easy in your videos make people have confident in making them. Love you!!!

[@WoonHeng]

of course, Julia. I really hope more people can enjoy cooking. Thanks for your wonderful feedback. :-)

I bought a lot of glutinous rice flour a while ago, but I later realized that I don't know what to make with it except for mochi 😅 Since I love peanuts and sesame, I can't wait to try these.

[@WoonHeng]

hehe, you can use the flour for a lot of yummy food. Will be sharing one more this weekend. :-)

[@maryducnguyen6352]

Oh my! This is one of my favorite 😍 I used to buy sesame balls at Chinatown in NY, watch them fry using long chopsticks pressed it against the wok and pop up like a big orange and the crust are very very thin, eat it right there. Since I moved away can’t find thin crust sesame balls anywhere yet. I have the recipe for over 20 years but never try to make it. I don’t like to work with the dough, but now I am gonna try because you make it look easy even your steam noodles I haven’t try to make it yet. Thank you 🙏 so much for sharing a lot of delicious foods.

[@WoonHeng]

yay, I hope you like this one. I bet your recipe from 20 years ago will be so awesome. The dough is not that hard, hope this video provides a good visual to give you more confident to make it. :-)

[@durhamholtmeier8330]

wow my.memory of these was China Town too ...we just made some 5 min ago and this recipe was every bit how I remembered them...Bravo and thank you

[@isabellam1936]

I used to eat these all the time when so lived in NYC as a bike messenger in Chinatown too!!!! They are so amazing. One of the best things I’ve ever tasted. I feel so grateful to have lived in NYC and got to eat real Asain food instead of Americanized Chinese restaurant things.

Thanks a lot, James.

[@cheryl526]

Hi, love your Jian Dui's recipe. In fact, Jian Dui is one of my favourite childhood snacks whereby my grandma was an expert in making them. By the way, may i know how to keep Jian Dui's crispiness last longer hours?

[@amastelle]

Oh, thank you - I love these! ❤ Am hungry just watching the video! 😋

[@WoonHeng]

[@WoonHeng]

Thank you 😋

[@walterloo11]

Wow... impressive!!!

[@WoonHeng]

Thanks so much!

[@Omar1228-g2o]

Can I use sweet potato starch instead of glutinous rice flour?

[@abirammeiiimurugiah730]

My favorite😋

[@WoonHeng]

woohoo.. so yummy!

[@komtooncartoondrawings2562]

oh my i really need this

[@WoonHeng]

Hope you give it a try. :)

[@nataschalachlan]

Omg!! This is my grandma's favorite snack! This looks sooo good 😍 they usually use mung beans paste or red beans paste in Indonesia. Where i live it's called Onde Jawa 😂

[@WoonHeng]

nom nom, love the red bean paste and mung bean paste too, Jess. Thanks for sharing the name too. In Malaysia, when we say onde onde, it's the non-fried version rolled in coconut.

[@kataayzaa]

Excuse me. How much you put the water? I never saw on the recipe

[@lalitabell9509]

Can I make this and freeze it for later use?

[@nobodyknows6910]

Thank you!! Xie xie !

[@CharGC123]

I used to love these, but I can't eat fried food anymore.What would happen in an air fryer?

[@jaymayhoi]

my fave!

[@WoonHeng]

Thanks Jay

[@lordlab9780]

very yum

[@WoonHeng]

Thank you

[@theoryismypraxis3538]

can i make a version of this that's savory? I've been craving this for a long time ,but I dont like sweet things. Would this work if i added, say, mung bean paste without sugar, spiced with red bean paste instead? or would mung bean paste fall apart without sugar?

[@WoonHeng]

the paste will hold together if you add some melted butter. but the skin will need sugar.

[@cerndo]

beware of exploding balls if your oil is too hot

[@bonniewugsie5950]

Can make a lotus or red bean next time :)

[@WoonHeng]

oooh. good idea! :)

[@alexarzani3871]

Yes but how much water with sugar is not written..

[@androidbox8908]

Can we use honey?

[@KimPhabulous12]

Honey is not Vegan and not Bee friendly. Please use plant based products e.g. Agave syrup which is better for all. 🙏🐝🐝🌏

[@WoonHeng]

Hi there, I haven't tried with honey yet but you can definitely use sugar. Thanks for checking!

[@WoonHeng]

Thanks a lot for sharing! :-)

[@vasiliahilios4013]

Has anyone tried this in the air fryer?!?

[@WoonHeng]

Hi there, you can check my recipe on the blog and look at the ones that I tried with air fryer. Thanks a lot. :-)

[@theodoraajeng8771]

Looks hard after fried 😢

[@WoonHeng]

They don't, you want a crispy outer layer and soft and chewy on the inside. :-)

[@tunlai]

NO WATER ON YOUR RECIPE??? I SEE IT YOU HAVE IT ON THE VIDEO. BUT DIDN'T SAY HOW MUCH?
