Black Sesame Soup
Makes 4-6 servings
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup long-grain white rice
4 cups (960ml) filtered water
1/2 cup (75g) toasted black sesame seeds, plus more to serve
4 oz (114g) Chinese rock sugar
DIRECTIONS
Place the raw rice into a bowl, cover it with filtered water, and allow to soak for at least 2 hours. Drain, rinse and set aside.
Pour the 4 cups of filtered water, drained rice, toasted sesame seeds, and rock sugar into the blender jar of the KitchenAid® Pro Line® Series Blender. Secure the lid and set the blender to the Adapti-Blend™ Soup program. Blend until the machine turns itself off. Alternatively, blend for 5 to 6 minutes, starting on speed 1 and gradually increasing to speed 11. Stop the machine at 6 minutes before the mixture completely thickens.
The soup will come out of the blender hot. Serve topped with toasted sesame seeds, crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or cooked red beans. (The soup will thicken slightly when sitting.)
