Walnut black sesame paste - the complex of old Shanghai
Overview
I ground a large bottle of walnut powder with California walnuts and black sesame seeds, just like I used to eat them since I was a kid. When I woke up this morning, I added some glutinous rice and cooked it into a walnut and black sesame paste. It was very fragrant! Laodafang, a time-honored restaurant on Huaihai Road in Shanghai, whenever the weather gets colder and the fresh meat mooncakes are sold out, they start frying walnut and black sesame powder, which costs more than fifty kilograms. If you add sugar, it will cost extra. When the fire heats up and the chef flips the big shovel, the aroma of walnuts and sesame seeds begins to flow out, and the queue will immediately line up on the main road. The salesperson collecting the money just asked, "Do you want some candy?" Well, the attitude of paying cash is really not amiable, but this does not prevent the old Shanghainese from being enthusiastic about it. When I was a child, my mother took me to buy it every winter. At that time, it was still packed in clay pots. After weighing and closing the lid, the master would put a piece of red paper on it, tie it with a string and hand it over. My mother bought me some buttered plums, licorice olives, and cut a large piece of red sausage from the deli nearby. I felt that I had celebrated the New Year in advance, so happy O(∩_∩)O~~ Then every morning when I got up, my mother gave me two spoons of walnuts and sesame seeds, and I chewed it straight away. It was so delicious when I chewed it!

Ingredients
Steps
-
Fried black sesame seeds. Fry directly in a pan without adding oil, but you need to stir fry constantly to prevent the bottom from getting burnt and the top from not being cooked yet.
-
Crush the cooked sesame seeds in a food processor. Because black sesame seeds need to be ground finely, and walnuts are not so fine in order to maintain the taste, so they are beaten separately
-
Pour out the black sesame seeds, grind the walnuts, and mix the two.
-
If you want to drink sesame paste, you can take 100g walnut sesame powder, 200g water, 20g glutinous rice flour, add an appropriate amount of sugar, mix evenly and simmer over low heat. Stir constantly to prevent sticking to the bottom.
