Black sesame soup is a classic Chinese dessert which is normally served hot. It doesn’t really take much time to prepare this popular black sesame dessert, and the process is fairly simple.
Toast seeds in dry frying pan over medium-low heat until the sesame seeds start popping, it takes about 10 minutes. Toasting time may differ depending on your cooking temperature.
Grind the seeds with a blender/food processor until fine, slowly add in some water, just enough for the blender to process the sesame paste. Pause to scrape down the sides, process on high speed until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Sieve sesame paste for smoother texture.
Add in slaked glutinous rice flour, ½ tbsp oil, 60 g sugar (or rock sugar) and ⅛ tsp salt. Cook over medium heat until the soup begins to bubble, turn to low heat and simmer for 5-8 minutes or until your desired consistency. Note: Stir regularly to prevent burning.
