Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams black sesame seeds
- 30 grams glutinous rice flour
- 800 milliliters water
- 50 grams rock sugar
Instructions
Begin by washing the black sesame seeds thoroughly. Rinse them several times under cold water until the water runs clear.
Drain the sesame seeds and spread them out in a dry frying pan. Toast the seeds over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until they become fragrant and start to pop slightly, around 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn them.
Allow the toasted sesame seeds to cool slightly, then grind them into a fine powder using a blender or spice grinder. You may need to do this in batches to ensure even grinding.
In a small bowl, mix the ground black sesame seeds with the glutinous rice flour until well combined.
Transfer the powdered mixture into a pot and add 800 milliliters of water. Stir the mixture until it is well dissolved.
Place the pot over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring regularly to prevent the bottom from burning. Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and add the rock sugar.
Continue to simmer the soup until the sugar has completely dissolved and the soup has thickened to your desired consistency, about 10-12 minutes.
Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if necessary, and serve the soup warm in bowls.
