Zishu Matuan

Matuan is a traditional snack in China, and it is also a snack in my childhood memory.

I remember when I was a child, on weekends, when my parents went out to buy breakfast, they would ask me what I wanted to eat while I was still sleeping in. I would always choose Matuan. Then when I got up, there were sesame balls waiting for me with crispy appearance and soft waxy sweetness inside. Sometimes they were stuffed with bean paste and sometimes they were filled with white sugar, all full of delicious sweetness.

After I grew up, I rarely ate hemp balls. First, fried food should not be eaten too much, and secondly, I was really worried about the oil outside. This time, I made hemp dumplings myself because I knew that my mother actually liked to eat. When I was a child, my mother bought them for me, and now it's my turn to make them for her. Try it on weekends you are interested in. It's very simple and as delicious as what is sold outside. You can choose any fillings, including bean paste filling, white sugar filling, black sesame filling or cream yellow filling. I use my own purple potato filling. The coarse grains are more healthy and ensure delicious. The key is that they look good.

Finally, I want to remind you that sesame balls should be eaten hot to taste crispy. Because glutinous rice noodles are difficult to digest, don't eat too much at one time.
