Zhi ma juan

Black sesame roll is a sweet dessert and a type of dim sum originating from Hong Kong. It's made by drying a thin sheet of black sesame paste, which is eventually refrigerated and shaped into a roll. The texture of black sesame rolls should be soft and smooth. Common ingredients include black sesame seeds, sugar, water, rice flour, chestnut flour, oil, and white sesame seeds that are often used as a garnish. This dim sum variety was especially popular in the 1970s and the 1980s, but nowadays it's usually prepared at home.
