Ingredients
600gblack sesame seedsif use pre-toasted, start from step 2
Optional ingredient
sugarto taste
Instructions
Add black sesame seeds to a deep pan over medium heat. Cook and stir for 8-10 minutes until the sesame aroma is prominent.
Let the sesame seeds cool down a little bit. Then add them to a blender to blend. Use a tamper to help blend if you have one. The sesame seeds will first turn into powder, then paste, then the ideal runny texture. (see photo above) If you don't have a temper, stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
Taste and add sugar if you want. Pour the black sesame paste into a clean, dry jar. Serve as you like.
Notes
Storage: Store black sesame paste in an air-tight jar in a cool, dry place for 9-12 months.
