Instructions

Homemade Powdered Black Sesame Soup Mix

Toast black sesame seeds in a dry pan for about 5 minutes over a medium low heat until toasty and aromatic. Set aside to cool. (if your black sesame seeds are already toasted move on to the second step)
Toast your glutinous rice flour in the same dry pan just until starts to get a little golden color and smells toasty - about 2 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Place your toasted sesame seeds in the food processor and blend until a smooth powder. Add your toasted glutinous rice flour and salt and combine well.
Store your dried prepared instant black sesame cereal powder in a sealed container or enjoy as a soup right away.

Black Sesame Dessert Soup

To enjoy one or more servings of Hot Black Sesame Cereal, Boil water in a kettle.
Place 4 tablespoons of the prepared powdered black sesame cereal from above in each bowl.
Next, add your honey or sweetener of choice. (Please note that the addition of honey (or any type of sweetener) will thin the soup out a little more later. It's best to keep the dessert soup really thick and add more water later if needed.)
Add one tablespoon at a time of water and stirring well to remove lumps until it is smooth and creamy. We like our cereal thick so we added 4 tablespoons of hot water for each 4 tablespoons of dried black sesame cereal powder.
Taste and adjust your Hot Black Sesame Cereal for additional honey as required. If you like your cereal a little thinner, add more hot water. If you like your cereal a little thicker then add a little less hot water. Stir and enjoy!
Garnish with white or black sesame seeds, Chinese red dates, or goji berries as desired. (optional) Makes approximately 1 and ¾ cup dry premade Black Sesame Cereal. There are 4 tablespoons in each dry serving. Total servings: 7 servings

Notes

This recipe makes 7 Asian sized small dessert bowl servings. Hint: Double or triple the dried powdered black sesame cereal recipe and place in a air tight container in a cool and dark pantry or refrigerator. Then, you can make a delicious bowl of black sesame soup in an instant - any time you like.

Purchase your black sesame seeds already toasted to save you time.
Please use glutinous rice flour (sweet rice flour) for the cereal/soup to thicken up. Regular rice flour will not make your soup thick but just a thin watery mess.
Glutinous rice flour can be found in any good Asian market, whole foods store or even on Amazon.
Toasting your glutinous rice flour in a dry pan adds an extra nutty delicious flavor to the cereal. The color will turn from a snowy white to a light beige color when it is done.
We prefer to weigh ingredients. This will give you a more accurate amount. However, we have also included US measurements for your convenience.

Storage

Powdered Black Sesame Cereal can be stored for up to 2-3 months in an airtight container in a cool dry place. It can last longer if refrigerated.

As with any seeds or nuts you need to be cognizant of expiration dates of sesame seeds, as they can go rancid and they do have a shelf life. Raw sesame seeds need to be consumed within 6 months. However, if you toast your sesame seeds they can last up to a year. If you store them in the refrigerator or freezer they can last a little longer.

Black Sesame Cereal Dessert Soup

Once you have added the hot water and sweetener to the dried powdered black sesame cereal mixture, it can be stored in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. We do not recommend freezing it because of the texture changes.

To reheat, place dessert soup in a pan on over medium high heat for a couple of minutes until bubbly and toasty warm. If the soup is too thin, add more of the dried powdered black sesame cereal mixture. However, if the soup is too thick add a small amount of water until it reaches your desired consistency.
