Black Sesame Paste or Soup (黑芝麻糊)

Black sesame soup or paste is popular among East-Asian and Chinese. Also, black sesame dessert is typically served in hot. In Cantonese it calls tong sui, or sweet soup similar to Western pudding. In generally, black sesame paste or soup’s main ingredients are black sesame seeds, rice and water. Then, sugar is added for sweetness. Normally, black sesame soup can be purchased in powder form at regular Asian store and you only need to add water and warm them up. However, this easy recipe has step by step instructions to teach you how to make black sesame dessert from scratch.

Besides, black sesame has rich nutrition like iron, magnesium, manganese, copper, calcium, vitamin B1, vitamin E, phytic acid, phytosterols and sesamin. In Chinese medicinal practices, black sesame use for warming the body, replenishing blood, relaxing bowels and nourishing hair. In addition, I tried many times and I found out using rice flour is easier than rice. You can add more water if you don’t like the viscosity. In this recipe, I added coconut milk because the taste is even better with coconut flavor. Moreover, the best is to use a powerful blender to blend the black sesame fine like powder. If you don’t have one, then use a regular blender will work and just blend them longer.

Ingredients:

Black sesame 1 cup
Water 5 cups
Rice flour 1/2 cup
sugar 1 cup (can be less depends on your sweetness)
coconut milk 1.5 cups

Yields: around 8 servings

Instructions:

1. Rinse or wash a cup of black sesame then put it into a blender add one cup of water. Blend it for a minuet. Then, add another cup of water and continue blend it until it smooths around 2-3 minutes. (The best to use a powerful or nice blender, if not regular blender is fine. It will take little longer to blend until it smooths. I just use a regular blender.)

2. Add 1/2 cup rice flour and 1 cup water blend it again for another minute until it mixes well.

3. Pour the mixture in a pot and turn on fire medium to low. Continue to stir it until it’s bubbling add 2 cups of water and stir it again.

4. Add a cup of sugar and 1 and 1/2 cups of coconut milk and mix well and until it’s bubbling again.

5. You can serve it as hot or fridge it and serve as cold dessert.
