Traditional Roasted Sesame Paste
Report
Rich and nutty roasted sesame paste is a staple of Japanese and Chinese cuisine, where it’s called Neri Goma or Zhi Ma Jiang. Made from just one ingredient!

Ingredients
- 4 cups sesame seeds see Note 1, toasted
- 1 tbsp sesame oil optional, roasted
Instructions
- Add toasted sesame seeds to a blender or food processor. Secure lid tightly.
- Start blending on low speed and gradually increase to high speed.
- Blend until completely smooth (at least 2 minutes).
- Optional: Blend in 1 tbsp of roasted sesame oil for an even stronger, more intense sesame flavour. I only recommend this step if you're planning to use the sesame oil for savoury recipes.

Notes
Sesame Seeds: You can either use raw sesame seeds—which you’ll have to roast yourself—or buy toasted sesame seeds which have already been pre-toasted for you. Both are good options.
If you decide to toast your own sesame seeds, it’s simple enough. Stir them around in a large frying pan on medium heat for a few minutes, just long enough to smell the sesame aroma. The seeds will turn a very light golden brown. Be sure not to let the sesame seeds brown too much, or else your sesame paste will turn out bitter. I don't recommend using less than 4 cups of sesame seeds, or you may find it hard to blend the mixture smoothly.
