Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon shichimi togarashi
- 1/2 teaspoon dried yuzu peel, finely ground
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried ginger powder
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the sea salt, toasted sesame seeds, shichimi togarashi, ground yuzu peel, ground black pepper, and dried ginger powder to a small mixing bowl.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir the ingredients thoroughly until they are evenly combined, ensuring the seasonings are well distributed throughout the salt.
- Store the Blend: Transfer the mixed seasoning into an airtight jar or small spice container to maintain freshness and flavor.
- Use as Seasoning: Sprinkle the Tabe Shio lightly over rice, grilled vegetables, fish, meat, eggs, or snacks just before serving to enhance their natural flavors with a subtle saltiness and aromatic spice.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of shichimi togarashi to suit your preferred level of heat.
- If dried yuzu peel is unavailable, substitute with a small amount of finely grated dried lemon or orange zest.
- Store the seasoning in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to preserve freshness.
- Because the seasoning blend is salt-forward, start with a small amount and adjust to taste.
