Black Sesame Soup

Black sesame paste soup is popular among East-Asian and Chinese. Also, black sesame dessert is typically served hot. But, some like to serve them cold, especially in summer. In Cantonese it is called tong sui, or sweet soup.

Instructions

  1. Pour 2 cups of water into a bowl.
  2. Put 1 cup of black sesame seeds into the bowl of water. Wash and rinse the black sesame seeds to remove dust and impurity.
  3. After that, use a strainer to drain the black sesame seeds well.
  4. Put the washed black sesame seeds into a glass container.
  5. Turn on a small fire, add the washed black sesame seeds from step 4 into a pan.
  6. Stir fry the washed black sesame seeds until it's dry and release the fragrance from the seeds. However, don't burn it.
  7. Next, put the stir fry black sesame seeds from step 6 into the blender.
  8. Pour 1 cup of water into the blender. Cover the lid and blend it for 12-15 seconds. (Blending time depends on the power of the blender.)
  9. After, add 1 cup of water into the blender. Cover the lid and blend it for 30 seconds to a minute. (Blending time depends on the power of the blender.)
  10. Until the black sesame seeds blended smooth. (The best is to use a powerful or nicer blender. If not, using a regular blender is fine. It just takes a little bit longer to blend until smooth. Also, I just used a regular blender.)
  11. Then, add ½ cup of rice flour and 1 cup of water into the blender.
  12. Cover the lid and blend the mixture very smooth for a minute or more.
  13. The following step, pour the blended mixture from step 12 into a pot.
  14. Turn on a small fire and keep stirring until the mixture thickens. Then, add 2 cups of water and keep stirring it.
  15. Add 1 cup of sugar, 1.5 cups of coconut milk and mix it well.
  16. Keep stirring it until it's bubbling again.
  17. You can serve it as hot or fridge it and serve it as cold dessert. (When it's hot, it's runny. But, it cools off, it will be thicker.) 

Notes

  • Wash and rinse the black sesame seeds. Then, drain them well.
  • Turn on a small fire, stir fry the washed black sesame seeds until it's dry and the aroma from stir frying the black sesame seeds. However, don't burn it.
  • Put sesame seeds into a blender and add one cup of water. Blend it for a few seconds (10-12 seconds). Then, add another cup of water and continue to blend it until smooth (around 30 seconds to a minute) depending on the power of your blender. (The best is to use a powerful or nicer blender. If not, using a regular blender is fine. It just takes a little bit longer to blend until smooth. And, I used a regular blender.)
  • I found out using rice flour is easier than rice.
  • You can add more water if you don't like the viscosity. In this Chinese black sesame soup dessert recipe, I added some coconut milk because the taste is even better with coconut flavor.
  • Remember to keep stirring the mixture and turn on a small fire until the mixture thickens.
