Chinese sesame paste (Zhī ma jiàng)
(Chinese sesame paste, 芝麻酱)
Zhī ma jiàng is the Chinese term for sesame paste, which is an ingredient that plays a central role in many Chinese dishes. This sesame paste is particularly popular in both Northern and Sichuan cuisines. It is typically made from toasted, unhulled sesame seeds, giving it a darker color and a more robust, nuttier flavor compared to tahini (a Middle Eastern sesame paste made from hulled sesame seeds).
In Chinese cuisine, zhī ma jiàng is used in various dishes. It is mixed with noodles, used as a dip for hot pot dishes, or incorporated into sauces and dressings to add richness and depth.
