So I tried this recipe and after many years of fail attempts with other recipes, this recipe worked! My dough was a little dry, so I find wetting your hands while rolling the dough with the mung bean help. Spraying it with water as Beth did is probably helpful too, I didn't have any seseme seeds to roll it in. I also find that keeping the oil at medium heat to help the balls cook to 10-12 mins without getting too dark help the balls to expand.
The first batch, I followed her steps exactly as shown. It took forever!!! The second time, I did this and it turned out just as tasty, but a lot faster (about 30 minutes total). Below are a few ways to simplify this whole process. Cook the green been in the rice cooker machine. It takes 1 minute to cut open the bag, put it in the pot, rinse it twice, add some water and press the cook button. Do this whenever you have time or even the day before and keep the green been warm in the pot until you want to use it. Put the cooked green been (still hot) on a pan, add sugar, salt, oil (I use coconut oil), and some glutinous flour (mix about ¼ cup of water and glutinous flour together, the amount does not have to be exact, you’re trying to make the cooked green been stick together easily), mix it on medium heat, spend 3 to 5 minutes on the cook green been. If it looks like it sticks together and you can form a ball, you’re done. For the coating, you don’t need to add the mashed potato (that will save you 10 minutes) and corn starch. I did not add it, and the oil didn’t explode as mentioned. Use corn syrup instead of sugar, it will add elastic to the dough and make it easier to work it. The water to be added onto the dough must be very warm to keep the dough warm. It took my kids (5 years old and 3 years old) and I 10 minutes to make 30 balls, and then another 10 minutes to fry all of them at 375 degree F in our deep fryer machine (in two batches). The shape of the ball does not need to be perfectly round, but it must covers all the cooked been stuffing in the middle. It will perfect itself once fried. The trick is not to make the dough too dry. The dough does not need to rest. In fact, it’s soft and easy to work with if the dough is still warm. If the dough is not warm, put it in the microwave for 1 minute (depend on the size of the dough) to soften it up. For your information, I think It tastes better without the mashed potato added.
I've been trying different recipe, but this one is the best. Oil was not splashing, the Sesame ball was not broken. I used low Med heat. Thank you for the recipe.
Wow, I grew up near a bakery where you could get these and the ones you make look just like the ones I bought and LOVED as a kid. I can't wait to try making them! 🥰❤💯
Beth, tks for the awesome recipe. I just made it today for the 2nd time. Cut down sugar to 200 g instead of 215 g. Yielded 46 balls. Taste so good. I’ve tried your other recipe, Thai’s Snack Crispy Flower Cookies too. Preparing for the next recipe - Crispy Waffle Rolls & Vietnamese Hollow Donuts.
Cảm ơn! ❤️ Mẹ and I are making it this weekend. I was surprised when I saw you hold it in your hand because I usually see them in a smaller size! They’re huge!
I'm so excited to find this video! I used to get these from a small Asian market when I was a kid but could never find the type with the sweet ball in the center after I moved. Only with red bean paste or cheese. Thank you!
These are delicious! Thank you so much for this recipe, I hope to try it someday. A local market makes these and I didn't even know what they were called. How amazing! Thanks again very much!
I made them yesterday and they turned out great! I went to Vietnam this summer and absolutely loved banh cam. So excited that I can now make them at home as well! Just wish it wouldn't be so time consuming... Still I'm gonna make them again soon
The first time you make it, start in the morning it may take a couple hours . I'm making it right now 2nd time. My family in law is Viet and they said this was very very good. Right now I'm at 1 1/2 hours and finished the dough and filling ☺️
You're very welcome! I like to eat fresh made sesame balls, it always taste best when it fresh. I don't know if it can be frozen and how well it will turn out, I haven't try yet. Frying oil temperature is the key for the crunchiness of these balls.
I have been looking for this hollow sesame balls for a long time. I tried many other but not hollow like yours. I'm going to try yours and see how it turns out. Thank you!
I love the sesame balls. I grew up on the outskirts of China town in Boston and the Sesame balls were filled with plum paste I think. Something pink. We ate till we were sick
Hi Beth, hôm nay tôi làm theo công thức của Beth nhưng chỉ lấy một nửa thôi. Tất cả chia đôi để có 16 bánh. Nhưng sau khi chiên xong, bánh bị méo mó, bột mềm mà không giòn giống Beth làm. Tôi không biết mình sai ở bước nào?. Ăn cũng ok, nhưng không dám khoe với con, nó sẽ nói bánh của mẹ làm bị sao vậy 😢?
Hi! Is the glutenous rice with wheatgluten? I have wheat intolerance, and wonder if it contains wheatgluten, and if it is possible to cut the glutenous rice?😊 Looks wonderful, and thank you for the detailed video
Thank you so much Beth for your wonderful recipe! I made it on sat and it came out perfect. Even eating it the day after the balls were still soft. I know the crunch isn’t there but all other recipes I’ve tried in the past, the balls get very tough the next day. Will be using this recipe for now on.
hi Beth Kitchen ...từ lúc biết video Kitchen của chị ..minh thích coi mỗi tối lúc vô giường sau ngày làm việc ...chi cắt nghĩ rất rõ ...Very Good ..Thanks you
Excellent vid. 👍👏 You have the best instrument compared to others on how to wraps. U make it so round n perfect same size. Mine wasn’t in the fryer for 5min and it burns already. Lower the heat took it out and it deflated rite after? 😟😣😖 Not as easy as it looks. 🤭🤔
Hi Beth, cho mình hỏi nếu vo bánh, để tủ lạnh qua đêm rồi sáng mai lăn mè chiên có được ko, vì nhà hay ăn tiệc buổi trưa, nếu để sáng mới làm thì mất nhiều thời gian quá. Thanks.
Dạ không chị. Bánh này chiên khéo thì bánh giòn được vài tiếng, bánh vẫn đứng đẹp và không bị xẹp mềm. Bánh ngày hôm sau muốn ăn giòn thì phải chiên lại.
Cám ơn Beth đã hướng dẫn nhiều món ăn rất ngon và dễ hiểu, rất mong Beth chỉ cách làm xôi bọc thịt chiên được giòn lâu và món bánh há cảo để chị sẽ làm vào dịp lễ July 4th sắp đến, chị rất muốn học cách làm của Beth sẽ thành công tốt hơn, cám ơn Beth và chúc Beth được nhiều niềm vui.
Good evening to you Beth; Yum !Yum! These look great! A nice cup of hot chai and some of these and we could be very happy! Best video I found so far....very simple and clear. Thanks a million! All the best, Chris and Julia
Hi Beth, I will follow you step by step, however just have one question, is it ok if I reduce the amount ingredients as I don’t want to make that many ? Thanks!
Thanks you for sharing Beth, A dream of mine to know how make the perfect crunchy sesame ball. I wonder how must filling did u scoop out with your ice-cream scoop? How big do we need to flat the dough into a disc, in term of diameter? Thanks Kim
Tien Le Mình nghĩ cũng có thể được, nhưng bánh có thể sẽ không nổi đẹp lắm. Bạn có thể thử thì mới biết chính xác được. Còn làm theo y như mình thì mình bảo đảm bánh nở đều đẹp.
Ok these sesame seed balls are so amazing I'm just in love with them but I could never figure out what's the inside of the ones I purchase at the Asian market, I don't know If you have any idea. When I open it, it's a smaller ball of paste, but the taste is amazing and it looks a bit green, it doesn't stick to the sesame ball like the red bean filling I have seen on other videos.
So I tried this recipe and after many years of fail attempts with other recipes, this recipe worked! My dough was a little dry, so I find wetting your hands while rolling the dough with the mung bean help. Spraying it with water as Beth did is probably helpful too, I didn't have any seseme seeds to roll it in.

So sorry for my late response.
That’s cookie scoop is about 1 Tbsp filling. Flatten the dough out to 3” in diameter.

If it's a bit green it might be with pandanus leaves, but I don't know for sure.
Yummy....... thanks.
You are welcome! Thank you for watching!
น่าอร่อยจัง😍👍
Hi Beth, can I use potato flakes instead of potato. Can I put the sesame balls the freezer and fry later. Thank you!!
Hi Kellie, I haven't try freeze them before fry or use potatoes flakes, sorry I can't help.
I like 👍
Thanks you
You're very welcome, chị :-)
What does the corn starch do in this recipe? What if we don’t put corn starch, what will be the difference? Thank you. Hope to see your response soon.
