    Butterflies are Free, I’m posting this recipe for the Chinese/Vietnamese New Year Tag GameFebruary 2008. It from the Joy of Wokking by Martin Yan. This is NOT for dieters., Who can resist w/ a recipe name like this!!! These were a big hit at my Bejiing dinner tonight-thank you for suggesting! used powdered sugar and did not use the sesame seeds. Fast, easy, and everyone loved them! Thank you for a great recipe!!!, I liked the originality of the recipe. I am not sure if I shaped it correctly. I opted for the powdered sugar coating instead of the syrup – just to speed things along. I would make this again. Thanks for sharing!
