Ingredients
- 100 grams black sesame seeds
- 30 grams glutinous rice flour
- 800 milliliters water
- 50 grams rock sugar
Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing the black sesame seeds thoroughly. Rinse them several times under cold water until the water runs clear.
Step 2
Drain the sesame seeds and spread them out in a dry frying pan. Toast the seeds over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until they become fragrant and start to pop slightly, around 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn them.
Step 3
Allow the toasted sesame seeds to cool slightly, then grind them into a fine powder using a blender or spice grinder. You may need to do this in batches to ensure even grinding.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the ground black sesame seeds with the glutinous rice flour until well combined.
Step 5
Transfer the powdered mixture into a pot and add 800 milliliters of water. Stir the mixture until it is well dissolved.
Step 6
Place the pot over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring regularly to prevent the bottom from burning. Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and add the rock sugar.
Step 7
Continue to simmer the soup until the sugar has completely dissolved and the soup has thickened to your desired consistency, about 10-12 minutes.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if necessary, and serve the soup warm in bowls.
