1. Soak in cold water for cleaning
This step is very important. Because there is still a whole process of selection, the white sesame seeds used for washing are small dice, and the round white sesame seeds floating on the river are unnecessary. We only use round white sesame seeds for dice.
2. Detect the emergence rate of round white sesame.
See if there is abundant vitality in it, and the emergence rate should be no less than 95%. After several times of germination, it has achieved 97% or even 100%, and some may be that there are too many blisters in the whole germination process. Only white sesame seeds with such high emergence rate can be selected as sesame balls if all the seeds are alive.
cook
On a sunny day, at 5 o'clock every morning, just after steaming for an hour, there will be a strong aroma of black sesame powder at this moment. Be sure to steam it thoroughly. Then put the black sesame powder into a clean round bamboo dustpan.
dry
Pay attention to the fact that the white sesame seeds can't be spread too thick to ensure that the white sesame seeds below can touch the sun. Spread a thin layer, less than 0.5 cm on average. Roll once every 0.5–1hour to ensure that white sesame seeds are evenly dried. I just start drying at 8 o'clock every morning and collect and suck Kun's blood at the end of the day!
5. Repeat the above practical operation for eight times.
Repeat the above process nine times, and remember to clean it every time, because there is dust outside in the sun.
6. Grinding into powder
The black sesame powder after nine steaming and nine drying is ground twice with a stone mill, and then tamped with a stone mortar. Before mashing here, honey is often not mixed, because after several experiments, it is found that when mashed with moist and pure honey, Indian mages often say that the essence of black sesame powder "Dharma You Xiang" will dissolve a lot, but it can't be bought. Therefore, adjust the order to ensure that the "big sesame oil" flows out as little as possible.
Refining honey
When refining honey, first boil the pure honey with fire, and then gradually boil it with slow fire to remove liquid paraffin and other residues floating on the surface of the pure honey.
8. Pilling
Stir white sesame seeds and pure honey evenly according to a proper proportion, make balls, knead them moderately, and wrap them with wrapping paper. Will seal the meatballs.
