When I was a child, I especially liked eating the fried frozen sesame balls made by my dad. It was truly amazing to see the sesame balls gradually expand from a small dough to a big one in the frying pan. This is also an unforgettable memory from my childhood. The sweet flavor of the sesame balls also left a deep impression on me. As I grew up, I learned how to deep fry frozen sesame balls from a master, but the flavor of my childhood always seemed to be missing. Nonetheless, it remains a delicacy that I recommend to my friends.

1，How to deep fry frozen sesame balls?

(1) Buy frozen sesame balls from the supermarket or make them a day in advance and freeze them in the refrigerator.

(2) You don’t need to defrost the frozen sesame balls in advance.

(3) Pour enough cooking oil into a wok and heat it to 140 degrees Celsius.

(4) Pour the frozen sesame balls into the pan and keep turning them while frying to ensure that the sesame balls are heated more evenly. They will slowly expand and become bigger and hollow inside.

(5) When frying frozen sesame balls, control the oil temperature at about 140 degrees Celsius and constantly turn the sesame balls to avoid frying them scorched.

2，Tips

(1) It is not necessary to thaw the frozen sesame balls in advance.

(2) Controlling the oil temperature at about 140 degrees Celsius is key; It is easy to fry to black color when the temperature is too high.

(3) Do not put too many frozen sesame balls in the frying pan at one time.

(4) Don’t turn the frozen sesame balls quickly after they are just poured into the frying pan; wait until the surface hardens before turning them.

(5) Prepare a long spoon or clip to avoid being burned by the hot oil.

3，Why is the color of my frozen sesame balls black?

The oil temperature is too high or the frying time is too long, which causes the sesame balls to turn black. The temperature range for deep-frying frozen sesame balls is 140-160 degrees Celsius. If the oil temperature exceeds 180 degrees Celsius, the sesame balls will quickly turn black. The first time I fried sesame balls, they turned black in color, so controlling the oil temperature is key.

4，Why are the insides of my frozen sesame balls not cooked?

(1) The oil temperature is too low. If the oil temperature is lower than 140 degrees Celsius, the surface of the sesame balls will be

cooked, but the inside will not be cooked.

(2) The frying time is too short.

(3) Too many frozen sesame balls are put into the oil at one time, causing the oil temperature to drop rapidly.

5，How to avoid getting burned when frying frozen sesame balls?

(1) Wear gloves to avoid burning your hands.

(2) Prepare a long spoon or clip.

(3) Control the oil temperature, not too high.

6, Why do my sesame balls collapse when they get cold?

(1) The oil temperature is too high. If the oil temperature is too high when frying frozen sesame balls, the surface of the sesame balls will harden quickly, and the inside will collapse when the balls cool down without being cooked and hardened.

(2) Frying time is too short. Short frying time will lead to the sesame ball internal not being fried and hardened, and it will collapse after cooling.

7, Why don’t my sesame balls expand in size?

(1) The oil temperature is too low. If the oil temperature is too low when frying sesame balls, the dough will keep absorbing the cooking oil, making it difficult for the shell of the sesame balls to harden quickly, and it will be difficult for them to expand and get bigger.

(2) Sesame seed ball dough contains insufficient water. Fried sesame ball expansion requires the moisture in the dough to turn into steam and promote its expansion.

(3) Short frying time. Sesame seed balls need to be cooked inside, and then the balls will start to expand.
