Gomashio – Japanese sesame salt

gomashio

I have recently been fascinated by Timothy from Mississippi Vegan. He has just published his first book which is full of beautiful photographs and really amazing recipes. I am not vegan but I appreciate and love veggies. When I was making dinner today I was looking for some nice twist to a salad and I found this super easy but extremely delicious gomashio – Japanese sesame salt idea. Traditionally it is sprinkled on salads or rice but I think it will work great on sushi and soups! It tastes so good that I will be sprinkling it on everything. 

Gomashio - sesame salt

Ingredients

  • 0.25 cup sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 0.25 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  1. Mix all ingredients together on the dry frying pan

  2. Gently heat the pan and toast the sesame seeds until golden. You need to stir all the time to prevent burning.

  3. Once ready place seeds in the bowl and bash with a back of the knife handle so the seeds are cracked.

  4. You can use straight away or keep in the airtight container for a few days.

Enjoy the sprinkling!
