This is not a recipe actually, since it's just toasting sesame seeds lol. Toasted sesame seed is widely use in korean cooking, usually i just skipped it, but since i make quite a lot of korean food, and wanna make many more in the future, i decided to not skip it anymore. I couldn't find any store-bought toasted sesame seeds that's why i just buy the raw one and toasted it at home.
For the toasting method, i watched a youtube video from one of my favorite korean cooking vlogger, Maangchi. I pretty much just follow the instructions. And also Maangchi said that the seeds will start to pop while they're toasting but mine didn't pop at all i don't know why :( But i'm pretty satisfied with the result so it's all good kkk...
Toasting method: Maangchi - Toasted Sesame Seeds
1. Wash your sesame seeds to make them plump for toasting, drain, then put them in a large wide pan.
2. Turn the heat on to medium high and stir ocassionally with a wooden spoon for about 10 minutes until dry.
When they're all dry, lower the heat to medium/medium low & keep stirring until the seeds are evenly golden and crispy. Take a few sample, crush them with your hand & they should crumble easily. (also Maangchi said the seeds will start to pop, mine weren't though ><)
Remove from the heat & let them cool completely, then transfer to a container. You can store it in room temperature for 1 month, or up to 3 months in the freezer.
