Black Sesame Roll (黑芝麻卷)

I always order the black sesame roll at Dim Sum restaurants if they offer it. So when I saw this video on how to make it, I got to try. It turned out pretty good although it was time consuming.

Ingredients

Black sesame powder - 160 g
Rock sugar - 200 g
Water chestnut flour- 200 g
Rice flour - 40 g
Glutinous rice flour - 15 g
Water - 4 cups + 4 TBSP (1000 ml)

Steps 

1. Add 2 cup of water and rock sugar to a pot; boil until sugar is fully dissolved. Then let the sugar water cool. 

2. Mix 3 types of flours and black sesame powder, add the 2 cup + 4 TBSP water. Mix well and pour into the Vitamix. Blend at high until smooth; then pour in the sugar water, blend well. 

3. Brush a 8 x 8 cake pan with a little bit of oil, add 1/2 cup of mixture that is enough to evenly cover the pan. Place the pan in steamer, cover and steam on high heat for 5 minutes.

4. Transfer the pan from steamer to an ice water bath. The ice water will cool down the pan fast. 

5. Carefully roll the sesame sheet in the mold, place on a plate. Then go to make next roll. This recipe should make 12 rolls. 

6. Trim the ends of the rolls and cut into desired size. It is best to serve chilled.
