Hi Maangchi! Thank you very much for your recipe. My sesame porridge comes out very smooth and tasty. I like it so much that I’m going to make it again today. Thanks a lot. You make my day brighter.

Hello! My black sesame seeds faded a little after I washed them and the water turned very black. Is this ok?

Yes, it’s supposed to be a little bitter. Add some sugar right before eating it if you want.

Hi Maangchi,

I just made this porridge it is tasty, but a little bit too bitter. Is it supposed to be like this or did I do something wrong?

You added sugar to heukimjajuk! That’s a common technique among Koreans. But I prefer unsweetened heukimjajuk. I like to feel the nutty flavor after each bite. It’s an acquired taste. : )
Yes, this is real quick and easy recipe. Happy cooking.

I just made this yesterday. I added salt and thought it tasted a bit off..so then i added sugar and some honey and it turned out so yummy! I am excited to try the pumpkin recipe you have next. Thank you for this quick and easy recipe!

In some Aisan markets, you can purchase Black Sesame Powder which is already ground roasted black sesame seeds. You can also google Black Sesame Powder and purchase it online, but is more reasonably priced purchasing from an Asian market. I buy Black Sesame Powder to make a delicious breakfast oatmeal: http://lemonchiffoncake.blogspot.com/2011/10/oatmeal-with-roasted-black-sesame-seeds.html
