Sesame balls (Mini without fillings)

[@AhanaBLY]

After trying a few different sesame ball recipe, yours is the one I like best! I’ve made it with and without filling. Also, the dough last a few days in the fridge, as long as it’s nicely wrapped in saran wrap. Makes it easy to whip up fresh sesame ball instead of having to use the dough, all in one day, and then eat the leftover the next day. Thanks for keeping this video up. ❤

@@ZoeyandVFam just did another batch, but this time the sesame didn't stick. Any suggestions?

[@maiseelee016]

I forgot to mix the water and mash potato and added the water to all the dry ingredients. The consistency became very sticky after adding the coconut milk. I didnt need to add the extra 1/4 cup of water... waiting to see how it tastes and will update 🙃

[@ZoeyandVFam]

I hope it turned out.

[@maiseelee016]

[@ceciliakennedy8420]

i asked my mom how to make this and she didn't give me this specific recipe, but she informed me that growing up she used to put chocolate inside of these! i'm going to try and figure out how she did it but love this recipe!

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Chocolate sounds yummy.

[@houa89]

Thank you for this video. It was easy to follow and my sesame balls turned out perfect. It wasn't too sweet, which I think is perfect for the elders and myself. I'd recommend adding a bit more sugar if you have a sweet tooth.

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, yes I totally agree. I used less sugar in the video, but updated the description with the amount of sugar.

[@juliesaman264]

I love your gluten free recipes !👌😋

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Thank you

[@tshuavkuvlawmxwb]

Hi zoey, can I make this ahead 1 day before? I have an event that I would like to bring these to. If so, how do I store it overnight? Will it still be crunchy and fresh by that time?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, it best to fry and eat within 8 hours.

[@pavang9584]

Yay thanks so much! Subscribed!

[@mathao9801]

Can I roll the sasame dough balls the night before and the next day deep fry it? Will it be okay. Trying to make a lot for a party.

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, I personally have not tried so am not to sure. I think it should be fine. Maybe make a small batch to try. Keep the prepare dough balls in a tight container so it doesn’t dry out.

[@ssssthor]

Thank you for this great recipe!! Made some today and my family loves it!! Recipe was very easy to follow and I like how it isn't overly sweet either!

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Thanks for the update and glad your family loved it. 😉

[@shoualee-simplicity7963]

Hello I tried this recipe and it tastes great but some of the balls kept bursting while in oil??? What do you think I did wrong?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, most likely due to too much water. Was the batter sticky?

[@mantonglee7685]

I've made this before and they turned out so good! I was just wondering if it would still work without the potatoes because I don't normally have it.

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Yes they will still turn out but the round shape may not hold well. You can also replace with an actual potato boil/steam/microwave and smash like mash potato. If you do adjust the water amount.

[@CrystalLVangTung]

Hello, how to store and make ahead of time?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, you can roll out the uncooked balls 1-3 days in advance (keep in close container) and refrigerate until ready to deep fry. It’s best to fry and eat on the same day.

[@pajhuabyaj89]

Hi sis, can these be made the day before and cooked the next day? Also do you recommend putting the sesame seeds before frying or can I put it on the night before.

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Yes you can roll out the sesame balls w/sesame seeds the night prior, cover with foil or Saran Wrap and keep them refrigerated to be dry the next day.

[@pajhuabyaj89]

@@ZoeyandVFam thank you ☺️

[@princess011290]

Can i use tapioca flour instead of mashed potato? If yes would it be the same amount of measurement?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, I don’t recommend tapioca flour in place of mashed potatoes for this recipe. If you can’t find potato flakes you can steam/boil regular potatoes and smash to equal 1/2 cup. Otherwise you can do without adjusting the water content.

[@yingherr4970]

It's yummy

[@cheevang6404]

How come my sesame seed keeps falling off when I cook them in oil?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, sound like maybe your dough is a little dry. Try to moisten it by add few drops of warm water and knead the dough for a few second afterwards. If the sesame sticks well to the dough when you fry it should not fall off as much. If it’s hard to stick on the dough it means dough is a little dry.

[@cheevang6404]

@@ZoeyandVFam ok thanks I did try that and it worked! Love love your recipes! ☺️

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Glad it worked out.

[@HmongTojsiab-v9d]

Hi Zoey - How do you get it to be crunchy after a day or two?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

It’s only crunchy the day of for this recipe.

[@Pockets_Of_Peace]

Can these be prepped the day before to fry next day?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Yes

[@amythao819]

What if we don’t have coconut milk? Can we replace with water?. 😢 Sometimes I crave at night and im out of coconut milk lol

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Yes you can replace with water but you’ll need to adjust the amount.

[@bigd2bforever]

How hot does the water have to be? Lukewarm?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, yes lukewarm.

[@biogreen3060]

Thank you for the recipe, i have a technical question : the inside of the ball is "elastic" and seems not cooked enough, how can you make a crunchy sesame ball without these inconveniences ? Thank you

[@ZoeyandVFam]

After cooked the inside will be glutinous “sticky” as it cool it should be less sticky and hallow. If you want a crunchy texture, add some corn starch. Also, adding a filling is a good option to.

[@hzxmry]

Do you know if you can freeze the balls an cook at a later time?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, I have never tried freezing. I have tried refrigerating and no issue at all, just cover well.

[@jennyvang1233]

Hello Zoey, How much servings does your recipe make with the size you rolled?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

1/2 small foil tray leveled.

[@ntxoovlishawjofficialchann7627]

Can we add lard in there

[@ZoeyandVFam]

To the dough mixture? I’m sure you can replace it. I use lard if making glutinous dumplings to get the crisp.

[@aliciamariehill2277]

I had something like this at a diner once, sesame seeds on the out side and an orangish color like sweet potato, in ball form, but it was sticky, and wasn’t fried. Any guess to what it would be? I can’t find it anywhere, and this is the closest to what I can find.

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hmm I’m not to sure. Was it a dumpling?

[@adrianacampana4023]

Would I be able to leave the dough out over night and make it the next day ?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, it is best to keep it refrigerated in a zip lock/closed bag or close container.

[@blavang7616]

After baking. What if the sesame isn't sweet enough. What could we do?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, nothing really unless you want to sprinkle some powder sugar on top or coat it wraith glaze sugar cane.

[@lucyb7873]

I was wondering Is there a way to do it with fresh mashes potatoes?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Yes you can use fresh mash potatoes but you’ll need to adjust the water amount, you’ll need less water and slightly less mash potatoes.

[@lucyb7873]

Thank you so much

[@maivlis1120]

On one of your other sesame ball videos, you use 1 1/2 TB of baking powder. On this video, you said 1 TB baking powder. Would it matter how much exactly baking powder to use?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

1 or 1 1/2 makes no differences to how the sesame balls turn out.

[@asmrwithalii24]

For this recipe, can I add filling inside? TIA! 😀

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, yes you can. This is the same recipe for my filled sesame balls. I like with more sugar then what is shown in video.

[@SR-qm1ty]

can you make it without instant potato? I have everything else..

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, with this recipe you will need to use either instant potatoes or fresh mashed potatoes.

[@blavang7616]

Instead of letting the dough sit for 15 min. How long can the dough actually sit out for?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, if the weather is cooler it’ll be fine for the day otherwise you can place it in an airtight container or bag and refrigerate. There’s coconut milk so leaving it out in the heat can spoil it.

[@TheWrathOfBlackJesus]

Hey Zoey, can I use sesame oil instead of vegetable oil in the dough? Thanks!

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, yes you can.

[@kidcooksplay1671]

is it still good to store half of the dough away in the fridge til tomorrow ? Don’t want to use all. No one helping me eat it 😊

[@ZoeyandVFam]

I have not tried but I think it should be fine. Let the dough come back to room temp so easier to work with. You may need to add a little more water if dough becomes dryer. Let me know how it turns out.

[@seeyaya816]

How many serve for this recipe?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

It depends on size you make, these small size filled up half foil tray.

[@pahouaher011]

My sesame ball came out not hallow even when it cooled down. What do I need to do?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, you can try slightly squeezing the balls against the side of the pan while deep frying. Do this when they are half way cooked and floating.

[@niamtswvhwmchannelnkaujqhu6002]

Nice

[@soraher6508]

I’m a little confused when you mixing the water and mash potatoes

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Can you elaborate what your confuse about? It’s dry mash potatoes so you need to add warm water to it.

[@klanchoragechannel8730]

What can I do if my sesame ball keep popping

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, it could be your sesame balls have too much water or the oil temperature is to high. Try using slightly less water next time or lower the heat to see if it helps.

[@pa.moua-yang]

How hot should the oil be when deep frying?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, around 250F so the sesame balls cook throughly.

[@PRINCESS-zb6jt]

My sesame seeds didn't stick? Did I do something wrong?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Your dough is to dry, add a few more drops of water to the dough.

[@PRINCESS-zb6jt]

Do we have to add the entire 1/4 cup of warm water at the end? I just added a little and that's probably why. 😢

[@ZoeyandVFam]

@@PRINCESS-zb6jtyes and no. Since dry ingredients aren’t weigh for the most part you will use all 1/4 cup of the water and sometimes may need to add a few drops extra.

[@Ohcheena]

Is baking powder optional?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, baking powder is needed.

[@thwithlove]

Thank you for the recipes, just did mine and it is a success but wanted to be more sweet, so for the next time, do I add more sugar or more coconut milk? To make the dough a little bit sweeter ?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Add more sugar

[@MeeKaZKT]

Is it hollow on the inside?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Not at first, when hot it’ll be “sticky” on the inside but as it cool it’s becomes hallow. To insure hallow you can press the balls slightly against the side of the pan half way through frying.

[@vilayvang2214]

So is that a total of 1 1/4 of hot water or just 1 cup of hot water? Where is the 1/4 of water goes?

[@ZoeyandVFam]

1 cup hot water is in the beginning with the mash potatoes. The 1/4 warm water is towards the end when kneading dough.

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Yes that’s oil to mix with the dough, not for frying.

[@kaolayang9786]

Why do you put the dough in a bag for 15 minutes? Just out of curiosity.

[@ZoeyandVFam]

Hi, it helps hydrate the dough and allows the baking powder to give the dough a small rise although not much since only 15 min.
