Ingredients
1tspsugar
1tspsea salt
1tbspdried shrimp
¼cupbonito flakes
3tbspsesame seeds
1tbspdried seaweed
1tbspdried salmon or anchovies
soy sauceoptional to taste
Instructions
Take a dry frying pan and put it over high heat
When the pan is properly heated, put the sesame seeds and toast until they produce a bit of smoke and a roasted aroma (say about 1 minute).
Transfer the roasted sesame seeds into a bowl.
Take the seaweed and crumble it into the bowl of roasted sesame seeds. If your seaweed isn’t crusty and crisp, toast it for about 30 seconds over the frying pan. Make sure that you don’t burn it.
Now, into the bowl, sprinkle bonito flakes, dried shrimps, and dried salmon (or anchovies – whatever you have or like).
Toss it well so the mixture forms well.
Next, season the mixture with sugar and salt. You can reduce or increase the quantity of both sugar and salt according to your requirements. If you want, you can also add a few drops of soy sauce for an additional tangy flavor.
Transfer the mixture into an airtight jar. This will keep the flavor intact for a month or two. I would recommend that you use it within a month of preparation to avoid any contamination.
