How to Make Black Sesame and Walnut Porridge

Black sesame and walnut porridge is a nutritious and delicious treat, perfect for breakfast or a snack. Here’s a simple guide to making it at home.

Ingredients Needed:

- 100g black sesame seeds

- 80g walnuts

- 50g glutinous rice (soaked for 2 hours)

- 300ml milk (or water for a lighter version)

- 2-3 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)

- A pinch of salt (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Nuts and Sesame: Toast black sesame seeds and walnuts in a pan over low heat until fragrant (about 5 minutes). Let them cool, then blend into a fine powder using a food processor.

2. Cook the Base: In a pot, bring milk (or water) to a boil. Add soaked glutinous rice and cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the rice softens (about 15-20 minutes).

3. Combine and Thicken: Gradually stir in the sesame-walnut powder and sugar. Continue cooking on low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency (5-10 minutes). Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.

4. Serve: Pour the porridge into bowls and enjoy warm. For extra richness, top with a few walnut pieces or a drizzle of honey.

This creamy, nutty porridge is packed with healthy fats, fiber, and antioxidants. Customize it by adding dates, goji berries, or a dash of cinnamon for a unique twist!
