Gomasio (Japanese Sesame Salt)
Toasted sesame seeds get ground with sea salt to make this nutty and delicious Japanese sesame salt aka Gomasio.
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoon white sesame seeds
- 4 tablespoon black sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
Instructions
- Add the sesame seeds to a large pan and lightly toast them over medium heat until they're fragrant.
- Allow them to cool down completely. Add the sea salt and coarsely crush them using a mortar and pestle.
- Make sure you don't crush them too much.
- Transfer to a glass jar or an airtight container and store at room temperature.
Notes
- Depending on your personal taste preference, you can follow a 1:10 to 1:20 ratio for the salt and sesame seeds. I like to keep it slightly salty.
- For a spicy kick, add some red pepper flakes or jalapeno flakes into the mix. Remember to add them in after the seeds have cooled down!
