Gomasio (Sesame Salt)

You don't melt table salt at home without some serious kit.

Recipe Summary Gomasio (Sesame Salt)

Gomasio is a Japanese condiment used for vegetables or rice. It adds flavor but also vital nutrients. I love it on onigiri. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 month.

Ingredients | How To Smoke Salt At Home

2 teaspoons coarse sea salt

½ cup white sesame seeds

½ cup black sesame seeds

Directions

Place a cast iron or heavy-bottomed stainless steel pan over medium heat. Add salt. Stir until heated through, about 1 minute. Pour salt into a mortar. Add sesame seeds to the pan. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula until seeds are fragrant and starting to crack. Test if the seeds are ready using the back of a stainless steel spoon; they will be dry, not wet.

Pour the toasted seeds into the mortar. Allow to cool slightly. Place the mortar at hip level, preferably while seated. Grind with a pestle until the seeds have opened and the salt pulverizes; the finished mixture should resemble rough sand.

Avoid using a nonstick pan to toast the salt and sesame seeds.
