Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams black sesame seeds
- 50 grams sticky rice
- 1000 ml water
- 100 ml coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
Rinse the sticky rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
Place the black sesame seeds in a dry skillet and toast over medium heat. Stir frequently until they start to pop and release their aroma, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to burn them.
Allow the sesame seeds to cool, then grind them into a fine paste using a food processor or mortar and pestle.
In a medium pot, combine the rinsed sticky rice with the 1000 ml of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is very soft and slightly translucent.
Stir in the ground black sesame paste and coconut milk to the pot. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
Simmer the soup over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5-10 more minutes until the mixture thickens to your preference.
Remove from heat and stir in the honey, adjusting to taste. If the soup is too thick, add a little extra water or coconut milk to thin it out to your desired consistency.
Pour the soup into bowls and serve warm, garnished with a few whole black sesame seeds if desired.
