How it's used

Associated primarily with the Lunar New Year, this specific variety of sesame ball is famous for its distinct, slightly flattened shape and crispy texture. Unlike the common round sesame balls found in dim sum restaurants, it is often sold in large, pre-packaged bags during the festive season. It carries a sense of nostalgia and is considered a traditional snack for family gatherings.
