Black Sesame Paste/Soup
Description
This recipe for Black Sesame Paste/Soup starts by stir-frying black sesame seeds to release their deep, roasted aroma. Sticky rice is soaked overnight and blended with the sesame seeds and water to create a smooth mixture. Alternatively, glutinous rice flour can be toasted and mixed with ground sesame seed powder to form a dry blend that is reconstituted with boiling water before serving.
The mixture is boiled and sweetened to taste with sugar, resulting in a warm, slightly thickened soup that is both comforting and rich in sesame flavor. The texture is smooth and velvety, aided by the glutinous rice component, which lends body and a subtle stickiness suitable for a dessert or snack.
The amount of water can be adjusted to preference for thickness. Serving the soup hot preserves its flavor and consistency. The dry powder blend can be stored airtight for quick preparation when desired.
