Ingredients

  • ¼ cup coarsely chopped toasted nori strips
  • ¼ cup white sesame seeds
  • ¼ cup black sesame seeds
  • ¼ cup loosely packed bonito flakes ((aka fish flakes))
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp togarashi ((or ½ tsp cayenne for a spicy kick))
  • ¼ tsp granulated stevia ((just a touch of sweetness))

Instructions

  1. 1
    In a spice grinder or coffee grinder, pulse the nori strips until they’re broken down — but not powdered. You want some flakiness to remain.
  2. 2
    Add the sesame seeds, bonito flakes, salt, togarashi (or cayenne), and stevia. Pulse just until combined and uniform.
  3. 3
    Store in an airtight spice shaker or jar. It’ll keep well in a cool pantry for about a month (if it lasts that long).
Note: Adjust spices to taste. Enjoy your meal!
