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

Steps

  1. Toast sesame seeds in a dry pan until fragrant.
  2. Grind with salt using a mortar and pestle until seeds are lightly crushed.
  3. 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.
