Steps
- 01
Blend the toasted black sesame with 120 mL cool water for about 1 minute until finely ground.
- 02
Add the remaining 240 mL water and blend briefly again. Never blend boiling water.
- 03
Place 3 tbsp glutinous rice flour in a heavy saucepan and gradually whisk in the cool sesame liquid until smooth.
- 04
Stir over medium heat, scraping the bottom. Once bubbling starts after about 2–3 minutes, reduce to low and stir for 3–5 more minutes until glossy and thickened.
- 05
Start with roughly 1/4 tsp salt and adjust to taste. Divide between two small bowls and optionally top with pitted jujube and pumpkin seeds. Serve warm.
Before you cook
Contains sesame, a major allergen. Remove the jujube pit and beware of hot porridge. Refrigerate leftovers in shallow containers within 2 hours at or below 4°C/40°F and reheat thoroughly.
