1
Wash and soak the rice, then grind it finely in a blender or mortar.

Mash the tofu until fine.
3
Place the black sesame seeds in water and strain to remove any small stones or impurities.
4
Drain the sesame seeds, toast them, then add an equal amount of water and grind until fine.

6
Reduce the heat, and when the rice has softened and expanded, add the ground black sesame and continue cooking. Season with salt.

Ingredient substitutions

Rice: Medium-grain rice works well. Long-grain rice is usable but gives a drier, looser texture.
Tofu: Use the closest available tofu texture. The result may be more fragile or firmer than intended.
Black sesame: White sesame is milder and will change the color, but it can provide a similar nutty note.
Water: Broth adds more flavor where appropriate.
Salt: Soy sauce can add saltiness but also changes color and flavor.
