Ingredients

  • ¼ cup shiso leaves (dried red perilla leaves)
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ cup bonito flakes
  • 3 tbsp white sesame seeds toasted
  • 1 tbsp nori dried seaweed

Instructions

  • Cut the stems from the shiso leaves and crumble the rest up into small pieces.
  • Mix all of the ingredients (except the sugar and salt) together into a fine mix. Make sure the nori is cut up very finely, and the shiso leaves are as well. If your sesame seeds aren't toasted yet, you can toast them in a frying pan with a little oil for 1 minute.
  • Add the sugar and salt a little at a time and taste if it's to your liking.
  • Use the mixture immediately, or transfer it to an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to a month.
