Madan, another name for sesame balls, is mostly used in Putian, Fujian. Sesame dumplings are a Han nationality specialty snack and a type of Chinese fried pasta. It is made of fried glutinous rice flour dough and added with sesame seeds. Some are filled with mochi paste, bean paste and other fillings, while some are not. Sesame balls are made by kneading glutinous rice flour with sugar, lard and water, and then frying them in a pan. It is named because it is round in shape and covered with sesame seeds on the surface. Hemp balls are a very common snack and are not complicated to make.
