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.

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]
