From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Black sesame roll

Traditional Chinese: 芝麻卷
Literal meaning: sesame roll

Black sesame roll is a refrigerated dim sum dessert found in Hong Kong and some overseas Chinatowns. It is sweet and the texture is smooth and soft.

[edit] Preparation

The dessert begins with a thin layer of black sesame paste waiting to dry. The paste eventually forms a thin sheet, and is refrigerated. The sheets are then individually rolled up into a sesame roll.
