Hi Carol,

You might be able to find sesame paste in Chinese groceries but I have never look for it and therefore not sure which one carries it.
You can make your own black sesame paste by toasting the black sesame seeds first until fragrant. Grind the toasted seeds. Cook the same amount of ground sesame, sugar and butter in a pan on medium low heat until it forms a thick paste.

Hi Suanne,

Thanks for sharing this recipe of loh mai chi. I’m wondering, would black sesame paste also work? And if so, do you know where I can find it around the Vancouver area?

Thanks so much!

Have you ever tried making ice cream loh mei chi? (Love it!) I can’t figure it out in my head because if you freeze the loh mei chi dough, it will get hard. It must be a different kind of dough. How do they do it?

The shape is the same actually :D.

I always stuff it with peanuts and sugar and coat it with coconut rasps..

Only I’m trying to figure out why the store bought lo mei chi’s skin will stay soft the next day and mine will not? Somehow it becomes dry..

Do you know the trick Suanne?

Hi Karen, I have never try stuffing with chopped peanuts and sugar but those are my favourite snacks from the morning market found in Malaysia.

Have you ever tried stuffing them with chopped peanuts and sugar? I wonder how difficult that might be since you can’t shape the filling into a ball…
