Home-cooked sesame paste

Overview

I cook rice and stir-fry every day, and occasionally change my style. I made a pot of stewed sesame seeds tonight, because I added a little Korean spicy cabbage, which made it taste better. I had eaten this mochi before at Xinjiang Noodle House and Shaanxi Noodle House, so I searched online for the recipe and tried it myself. It was quite interesting and much more fun than making noodles. If you have children at home, you can use it as a parent-child activity for your children to participate together.
