Ingredients

• 100 grams black sesame seeds
• 30 grams white rice
• 1000 milliliters water
• 200 milliliters low-fat milk
• 30 grams granulated sugar
• 15 grams cornstarch
• 1 pinch salt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by rinsing the black sesame seeds under cold water to remove any dust. Drain thoroughly.

Step 2

In a dry skillet over low heat, lightly toast the black sesame seeds until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning. This should take about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Allow the toasted sesame seeds to cool slightly, then transfer them to a blender or food processor. Grind the seeds into a fine powder.

Step 4

Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, combine the ground black sesame seeds, rinsed rice, and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is very soft, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

While the rice is cooking, dissolve the cornstarch in a small amount of the low-fat milk, creating a slurry, and set aside.

Step 8

After 20 minutes of cooking, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or carefully transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Return the soup to the saucepan if removed.

Step 9

Stir in the low-fat milk and granulated sugar. Season with a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.

Step 10

Gradually stir in the cornstarch slurry. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the soup thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.

Step 11

Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary, adding more sugar in small increments.

Step 12

Serve the black sesame soup warm for a comforting dessert. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of toasted black sesame seeds for added texture.
