Black sesame soup: Difference between revisions
I don't guess and I'm a native speaker of Chinese; Chinese is a very intricate and detailed language with widely differing pronunciations depending on the subject so generalizing is wrong |
Okay, I admit it's probably ma5 (tone 4 and 5 can be confused in this case), but it's certainly and absolutely not ma2 |

Black sesame soup is a popular Chinese dessert that can be widely found throughout China and Hong Kong. It is generally served hot.
Preparation
In Cantonese cuisine, it is a form of tong sui, or sweet soup (similar to Western pudding). The main ingredient is crushed black sesame seeds in a flour form. It is boiled with hot water. Sometimes, granulated sugar is added, though the sesame seeds are usually sweet enough by default. It can now also be easily home-made using instant packets. The soup is perhaps the thickest of all tong sui. Tangyuan is also sometimes added into black sesame soup.
