Instructions

  1. Step 1: Rinse 1 cup glutinous rice under cold water until water runs clear, then soak in 2 cups water for 2 hours. Drain and combine with 4 cups milk in a pot.
  2. Step 2: Bring mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon for 15 minutes until rice is tender and mixture thickens to a creamy consistency.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 3 tbsp black sesame paste and 1/2 cup sugar, then continue cooking for 5 more minutes until sugar dissolves completely and mixture coats the back of a spoon.
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat and stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
  5. Step 5: Serve warm in bowls, sprinkled with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds for a nutty finish.
