Ingredients

1 1/4 ounces uncooked purple glutinous rice (about 2 1/2 tablespoons)
2 1/2 cups unsweetened oat milk (such as Elmhurst)
2 1/2 ounces black sesame seeds, toasted (about 6 1/2 tablespoons)
1 1/2 tablespoons multigrain powder (optional)
3 small jujube dates (about 1/3 ounce), pitted and chopped, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons cane sugar
Bee pollen, white sesame seeds, and osmanthus flower (optional)

Steps

Place rice in a small bowl, and add water to cover. Let soak, uncovered, at room temperature 8 to 12 hours.
Drain rice. Transfer rice to a blender. Add oat milk, black sesame seeds, multigrain powder (if using), and dates. Process until very smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour mixture into a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium. Simmer, stirring constantly to prevent sticking, until mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Stir in sugar. Remove from heat. Spoon evenly into 6 bowls. Top with jujube dates, and garnish with bee pollen, white sesame seeds, and osmanthus flower, if desired. Serve warm.
