Similar to natural peanut butter, the sesame paste will have some separation but is smooth—and fresh—enough that a quick stir is enough to reincorporate the oils and solids. In Chinese cuisine, white sesame paste is generally used for savory recipes, especially as a base ingredient for sauces in dan dan noodles or cold sesame noodles.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
Use this sesame paste for cold noodle dishes, in dipping sauces, and in dressings. The toasted flavor is also wonderful in desserts-- try substituting for tahini or peanut butter as a nuttier and richer companion to chocolate.
The Mala Market—named after the term for the spicy-numbing combination of chilies and Sichuan peppercorns that defines Sichuan cooking—imports top-grade dried chilies and spices of remarkable quality, with close control over their supply chain. Started in 2016, this family company was started by Nashville resident Taylor Holliday, who first started sourcing Sichuan ingredients so she could cook for her adopted daughter, Fong Chong Havighurst, who came to the United States from China at the age of 11. To this day, the mother-daughter pair regularly travels to China to find unique and authentic Sichuan specialties for the American consumer.
