Black sesame soup

Chinese:
Literal meaning: sesame paste

Black sesame soup is a popular Chinese dessert that can be widely found throughout China and Hong Kong. It is generally served hot.

[edit] Cantonese cuisine

In Cantonese cuisine, it is a form of tong sui, or sweet soup. The main ingredient is crushed black sesame seeds in a flour form. It is boiled with hot water. Sometimes, granulated sugar are added, though the sesame seeds are usually sweet enough by default. It can now also be easily home-made using instant packets. The soup is perhaps the most thick of all tong sui.

[edit] Other Chinese cuisine

Other Chinese cuisine often add tangyuan (balls made from glutinous rice flour) into black sesame soup.
