Directions
Zhir Ma Bao (Black Sesame Filling for Buns), This was by far the most sinful and delicious of all the bun fillings I found in China. Made from rich, crunchy black sesame seeds and rock sugar, or from black sesame tahini and fine sugar for a more paste-like consistency, this desert filling is absolutely divine in the fluffy filled bun recipe., This recipe was simple to make and tastes wonderful. I only needed about half of the water, but the thickness was perfect. Cleaning out the blender afterward was fun too–just add milk and blend for a black sesame smoothie! :), i just made this in the blender and i’m a little sad because i should have toasted the sesame seeds more in order to get the richness and aroma but i was afraid of burning it. i made this to make zhi ma tang yuan. i think if i didn’t make that personal error, this would have been perfect. also i did not have peanut oil but i put in a sesame oil blend that also contained peanut oil. i am very grateful that you posted this because it’s the only one on zaar.
