Black Sesame Paste

Black Sesame Paste

 

Ingredients

200g black sesame seeds

1500ml water

180g castor sugar

2 tbsp corn flour

 

Method

  1. Wash black sesame seeds and drip dry before dry roasting them in a wok till fragrant.
  2. Put sesame seeds in a blender and add water before blending to achieve a paste consistency.
  3. Pour the paste into a pot and add sugar before cooking.
  4. Bring to a simmer. Mix the corn flour with a little water to get cornstarch which will thicken the black sesame paste.
  5. Serve.

For a smoother paste you may pass the paste through a fine sieve before cooking.

3 - The trick with this is to keep grinding/blending the toasted sesame repeatedly (without water), over and over, until you get the oil coming out. The more you grind it, the more oil you get, until you have a nice paste. It's amazing how it changes into an oily paste.

Try mixing a little of the paste with some vanilla ice cream... Actually, I got inspired after eating Haagen Dazs Black Sesame ice cream! (Comment this)
