Details
A thick, glossy black sesame paste with a deep, toasty fragrance and a velvety texture that clings softly to the spoon. The flavour is rich and nutty with a gentle sweetness, a little bolder and darker than white sesame paste. Whisk it into the sauce for a bowl of chilled spicy noodles for a creamy, satisfying finish, or loosen it with a little soy sauce and dashi for a classic sesame dressing over blanched greens. It is also wonderful in sweets, from a silky black sesame milk pudding to the filling for skewered rice dumplings, or simply swirled into warm milk on a cold evening. As with any pure paste, a natural layer of oil can rise to the surface, so a good stir or a gentle knead of the pouch before use brings it back to a smooth, even texture. The 500g pouch is easy to handle for cafés, dessert shops and small restaurant kitchens, as well as for households that enjoy cooking with sesame. This is a limited-quantity offering, available while stocks last.
