As reported by BrilioFood from TikTok @ wulan.r1996 on Friday (9/8), Wulan admitted that she wanted to fry onde-onde in oil, but the sesame that was coated on the onde-onde came off. This immediately made the sesame grains float and stick to the pan. Seeing this situation, this woman was confused.
"What's wrong with this? When you make mini onde, all the sesame comes off. You'll end up bald," wrote Wulan.

Considering this, many netizens then provided further explanations. Several TikTok users explained that the sesame on the onde-onde would come off because the dough was not smeared with water. Generally, onde-onde that has been molded needs to be dipped in water first. This will make the sesame stick better and not come off easily when fried.
"Give the sesame a little water before putting the sesame in the dough... so it sticks and doesn't come off when fried," explained TikTok @zeny's.

"The real onde" is fried first then remove the taro in a container then sprinkle with sesame seeds while the onde is still hot," explained TikTok @kurniawankarna.
