Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tbsp raw white sesame seeds (lightly toasted)
- 2 tbsp poppy seeds (toasted)
- 2 tbsp dried minced onion
- 1 tbsp dried minced garlic
- 1 tbsp coarse sea salt (such as Maldon or flaky sea salt)
- 1 tbsp black sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Toast the sesame and poppy seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant and slightly golden.
- Transfer toasted seeds to a plate or bowl and let cool completely to avoid clumping.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled toasted seeds, dried minced onion, dried minced garlic, coarse sea salt, and black sesame seeds if using.
- Mix thoroughly with a spoon or small whisk until evenly blended.
- Store the seasoning blend in an airtight container or spice jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use within 1-2 months for best flavor.
Notes
Toasting the seeds is essential for unlocking full flavor and aroma. Do not grind the seeds or garlic flakes to maintain the crunchy texture. Cool seeds completely before mixing to prevent clumping. Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and sunlight. For variations, add smoked paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, dried dill, or reduce salt for low-sodium options.
