Heugimja-juk (Korean: 흑임자죽; Hanja: 黑荏子粥) or black sesame porridge is a Korean porridge, or juk, made from finely ground black sesame and rice.[2][3] The bittersweet, nutty porridge is said to be good for recovering patients, as black sesame seeds are rich in digestive enzymes that help with healthy liver and kidney functions.[3]

Preparation

Preparation of heugimja-juk starts with washing, soaking, and draining black sesame and rice separately.[4] Black sesame seeds are then toasted over low heat, and mixed with rice and water, to be ground in a millstone or blender.[4] The ground mixture is sifted and simmered.[4]
