In Guangdong, it is common to see sesame balls and crispy dumplings during Chinese New Year. Why is this? It’s a traditional custom for Cantonese people to open ‘wok’ on the 24th day of CNY. Frying crispy dumplings, sesame balls, sweet egg twists and smiling sesame balls is said to bring good luck.
