Black sesame Tangyuan

This year my first dessert is a Chinese traditional dessert, to celebrate new year.

My grandmother was a great cook, she loved making it, it's a pity that she passed away when I was a baby :(

Anyway, it is my first time to make it, I'm surprised how easy to make them. I will make it again for Lunar new year :)

25g fried black sesame powder*
