Jian dui with adzuki
Jian dui is the dim sum dessert built on contrast: crispy sesame, chewy rice dough and sweet red bean paste.
Instructions
-
Heat the oil
Bring the oil to 170°C in a deep pot. Don't go over: the sesame can burn before the center heats through.
-
Fry from frozen ⏱ 5 min 30 sec
Put the balls straight from the freezer, in small batches. Move them gently with a slotted spoon so they brown evenly.
-
Drain on a rack
Remove the balls when they are golden and slightly puffed. Let the oil drain on a rack, without covering them.
-
Let the center come to temperature ⏱ 2 min
Wait before the first bite. The adzuki paste in the center stays much hotter than the outside.
-
Serve
Optionally add a very thin drizzle of honey and a pinch of salt. Serve one piece at a time, alongside hot tea.
Good to know
