Matcha sesame powder, a beloved traditional Chinese snack, offers a nutty, aromatic blend perfect for drizzling over congee, spreading on toast, or mixing with milk. Here’s a simple yet detailed guide to making it at home.
Ingredients:
- 200g roasted white sesame seeds
- 50g roasted peanuts (optional, for extra crunch)
- 30g matcha powder (high-quality, ceremonial grade preferred)
- 50g sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 pinch of salt (enhances flavor)
Steps:
1. Toast the Seeds: Heat a dry pan over medium-low heat. Add sesame seeds and peanuts, stirring constantly for 5–7 minutes until golden and fragrant. Avoid burning to prevent bitterness.
2. Cool and Grind: Let the toasted nuts cool completely. Blend them in a food processor until finely ground, then add matcha powder, sugar, and salt. Pulse again until well combined—avoid over-blending to keep the powder from turning into a paste.
3. Store Properly: Transfer the mixture to an airtight jar. It stays fresh for up to a month in a cool, dark place.
Serving Suggestions: Mix with hot water for a creamy paste, sprinkle over yogurt, or use as a filling for pastries. This versatile powder adds a delightful umami and earthy note to both sweet and savory dishes. Enjoy your homemade matcha sesame powder!
