These sesame balls took years to master—we found that most recipes glazed over the little details that ensured perfectly round, golden crusted sesame balls that were perfectly chewy! Luckily, with a little help from Bill, you can make them without the failed batches and kitchen mishaps! To make these, Bill uses our new favorite Taro Coconut filling for a nice change up from the traditional lotus paste or red bean paste! It’s subtly sweet and a new family favorite!

Chinese take-out fried chicken wings are just the same as regular old fried chicken, right? Wrong. Bill’s father’s fried chicken wings recipe is special! They have a feather-light, crispy coating, and they’re incredibly juicy and flavorful—perfectly seasoned! The key is the combination of flour, cornstarch and egg that go right into the marinade (no dredging required!) and two trips into the frying oil with a rest in between. Make these for a party or just for a fun meal during the week!!
