How to Make Zhir Ma Bao Black Sesame Filling For Buns

  1. Lightly toast 1 cup of black sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant (about 3-5 minutes). Let cool completely.
  2. In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup of water to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup granulated sugar until fully dissolved.
  3. Combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar, the toasted sesame seeds, and 2 tablespoons of peanut oil in a food processor or blender.
  4. Process until the mixture reaches your desired consistency – from a slightly gritty paste to a completely smooth filling.
  5. With the food processor running, slowly add the hot sugar water from step 2 and the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of peanut oil. Process until well combined and the desired sweetness and consistency are achieved.
