Gomasio (Salt Substitute)
A traditional Japanese seasoning of toasted sesame seeds and a small amount of salt, offering a flavorful way to cut sodium at the table.
What you'll need
- 1/2 cup sesame seeds
- 1 tsp sea salt
Steps
- Toast sesame seeds in a dry pan until fragrant.
- Grind with salt using a mortar and pestle until seeds are lightly crushed.
- Store in a sealed jar and sprinkle over meals in place of salt.
Tip: Crush the seeds only lightly — fully pulverizing them turns the mix into paste rather than a sprinkle-ready seasoning.
