Ingredients

  • 15 Pieces Frozen Black Sesame Tangyuan
  • ¼ cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 Large Egg (beaten)
  • ½ cup Panko Breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
  • Neutral Oil (for frying)

Instructions

  • Add the flour, egg, and panko each into separate bowls. Roll each tangyuan in the flour until completely coated. Tap off any excess flour. Dip it in the egg until all of the flour has been absorbed. Lift the tangyuan out with a fork and allow any excess liquid to drip off. Roll it in panko breadcrumbs until fully coated. Repeat this process for the remaining tangyuan.
  • Fill a pot with 2-3 inches of oil. Heat to 325℉. Working in batches, gently add the tangyuan into the oil. Fry for 4-6 minutes until golden brown on the outside and hot on the inside. As they cook, the tangyuan will puff open.
  • Remove the tangyuan from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain. While they're still hot, roll them in granulated sugar until coated all over. Serve immediately and enjoy!
