Ingredients
250 g (about 1/2 lb) japonica rice, 75 g (about 1/2 cup) black sesame seeds.
Seasonings
Sugar to taste.
Instructions
1. Pick out any impurities from the black sesame seeds, rinse them clean, let them dry, then toast in a pan until fragrant, and grind into a fine powder.
2. Rinse the round-grained rice until clean, place it in a pot with enough water, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a low simmer and cook until the rice is soft and the porridge thickens. Add the ground black sesame seeds, let the porridge come to a gentle boil, then stir in sugar. Ladle into bowls and serve. This porridge is thick, sticky, and sweetly fragrant, rich in carbohydrates, protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, and other nutrients.
