Black Sesame Rolls 芝麻卷

🧂 Ingredients

• 200 g Roasted whole black sesame seeds
• 70 g Water chestnut starch
• 120 g Rock sugar
• 550 ml Water
• 50 g Wheat starch
• 20 g Rice flour
• 1 tsp White sesame seeds

Instructions

• 1 Dissolve the rock sugar using 300ml water on medium heat.
• 2 Put 200g of roasted whole black sesame seeds in a blender or grinder until
  ground You can use less black sesame seeds but there will be less flavour
• 3 Add 250ml water into the blender and blend together until thickened blending
  together is for the purpose of extracting the black sesame flavour and aroma
  into the water
• 4 Pour the mixture into a fine sieve to extract the liquid. Use a spoon or spatula
  to press down on the mixture. You may also use a mesh straining bag. If you
  would like more of the ground black sesames in the rolls, use a coarser sieve to
  strain
• 5 Now pour the rock sugar water into the sieve. Stir with a spoon and press on the
  mixture again to extract as much of the liquid as possible. If using a mesh bag,
  wait for the rock sugar water to cool before pouring it into the bag
• 6 Discard the solids or use it to add fibre to your breads or cookies
• 7 If the total liquid is less than 500ml, then add enough water so that the total
  liquid is 500ml
• 8 Add 70g water chestnut starch, 50g wheat starch and 20g rice flour. Mix well,
  let the mixture sit for 10 minute The water chestnut starch needs a few minutes
  to absorb the water before it’ll start breaking down.
• 9 Mix well Everything should mix easily together with no lumps. If you want to be
  extra sure there are no lumps, then pour through a sieve
• 10 Wipe or brush some oil on a shallow baking tray. I use a 9” square cake pan
• 11 Pour a thin layer of mixture into the tray. My thickness was approx. 2mm thick
  (100g). It should be just enough to cover the bottom of the tray
• 12 Steam on medium-high heat for 3 minutes Don’t worry if you get bubbles, they’ll
  go away in a minute
• 13 Using a scraper or just your fingers, roll it in the pan and then remove from
  the pan If one side is thicker than the other, then your steamer is not level.
  You may want to fold up some aluminum foil to make some height adjustments to
  level the tray
• 14 Repeat steps 11-13 until you use up the mixture
• 15 Slice into your desired length
• 16 Sprinkle with white sesame seeds
• 17 Serve
