Ingredients
- 100 grams black sesame seeds
- 50 grams sticky rice
- 1000 ml water
- 100 ml coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the sticky rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
Step 2
Place the black sesame seeds in a dry skillet and toast over medium heat. Stir frequently until they start to pop and release their aroma, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to burn them.
Step 3
Allow the sesame seeds to cool, then grind them into a fine paste using a food processor or mortar and pestle.
Step 4
In a medium pot, combine the rinsed sticky rice with the 1000 ml of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is very soft and slightly translucent.
Step 5
Stir in the ground black sesame paste and coconut milk to the pot. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
Step 6
Simmer the soup over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5-10 more minutes until the mixture thickens to your preference.
Step 7
Remove from heat and stir in the honey, adjusting to taste. If the soup is too thick, add a little extra water or coconut milk to thin it out to your desired consistency.
Step 8
Pour the soup into bowls and serve warm, garnished with a few whole black sesame seeds if desired.
