   Step 5

   When the oil in the pan reaches 4 5 of its maximum heat, place the sesame balls into the oil. Once the oil boils, reduce the heat to low. Here's the key: once the sesame balls float slightly, gently press them a few times with a slotted spoon to create a hollow center. Remember to press gently and repeatedly; this step is crucial for ensuring the sesame balls are hollow and round. Fry until golden brown, then drain the oil and remove from the pan.
