White vs. Black Sesame Paste

• ⚪ White sesame paste (白芝麻醬): Lighter color, milder and sweeter flavor — the classic choice for hot pot dipping sauces, cold noodle dressings, and everyday cooking
• ⚫ Black sesame paste (黑芝麻醬): Darker, more intense and slightly bitter — better for desserts, black sesame soup, and dishes where a stronger sesame flavor is desired
• ✅ Both are 100% sesame, no additives — Sanfeng's commitment to pure, clean-label paste

The Classic Use: Hot Pot 二八醬 (Two Eight Sauce)

White sesame paste is the essential ingredient for 二八醬 (Shàng Jiang / "Two Eight Sauce") — the legendary Beijing hot pot dipping sauce made from 8 parts sesame paste to 2 parts peanut butter, thinned with warm water and seasoned with soy sauce, Chinkiang vinegar, garlic, and a touch of sugar. The result: a rich, nutty, deeply savory sauce that is the soul of Mongolian hot pot.

💡 Key tip: Add warm water one tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly — the paste will seize up first, then suddenly relax into a silky, creamy sauce. Don't panic and keep whisking!

More Ways to Use

• 🍜 Cold noodle dressing: Thin with warm water, soy sauce, and rice vinegar for a classic sesame noodle sauce
• 🥗 Salad dressing: Whisk with rice vinegar, soy sauce, and honey for a versatile dressing
• 🍞 Spread: Mix with honey and a pinch of salt for a nutty toast spread
• 🍲 Soups & stews: Stir a spoonful in for creamy, nutty depth without dairy

💡 Pro tip: The oil naturally separates — stir thoroughly before each use. Always thin with warm water first before adding acidic ingredients.
