Black Sesame Soup 黑芝麻糊

Soak the rice in water overnight, or at least 4 hours.

Heat the sesame seeds in a large skillet over medium heat. Shake the pan, cooking just until they become fragrant.

Drain the rice and transfer to a blender along with the sesame seeds and 2 cups of the water. Blend to form a smooth mixture.

Transfer mixture to a saucepan with remaining 3 cups water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low and add sugar, stirring to melt. Simmer until soup is the desired consistency.

Adjust sugar and serve.
