Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams black sesame seeds
- 30 grams white rice
- 1000 milliliters water
- 200 milliliters low-fat milk
- 30 grams granulated sugar
- 15 grams cornstarch
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Begin by rinsing the black sesame seeds under cold water to remove any dust. Drain thoroughly.
In a dry skillet over low heat, lightly toast the black sesame seeds until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning. This should take about 5 minutes.
Allow the toasted sesame seeds to cool slightly, then transfer them to a blender or food processor. Grind the seeds into a fine powder.
Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
In a medium saucepan, combine the ground black sesame seeds, rinsed rice, and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is very soft, stirring occasionally.
While the rice is cooking, dissolve the cornstarch in a small amount of the low-fat milk, creating a slurry, and set aside.
After 20 minutes of cooking, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or carefully transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Return the soup to the saucepan if removed.
Stir in the low-fat milk and granulated sugar. Season with a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
Gradually stir in the cornstarch slurry. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the soup thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary, adding more sugar in small increments.
Serve the black sesame soup warm for a comforting dessert. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of toasted black sesame seeds for added texture.
