shishimi - 7 spice blend

[Guest guest]

here's a version that we could more likely blend in Western stores

 

@@@@@

Seasoning Blend & Spice Shop (7 spice blend)

 

White Sesame Seeds 1 teaspoon

Black Sesame Seeds 1 teaspoon

Nori (seaweed) 1 teaspoon, shredded

Chile Powder 4 teaspoon

Poppy Seeds 1 teaspoon

Sichuan Pepper 1 teaspoon

Kosher Salt 2 teaspoons

 

In a food processor, combine all spices and chop until the Sesame Seeds are

starting to break apart. Careful not to go too long, you want it to be a little

coarse. For a variation, add some orange zest to the spice. The Japanese use a

dried citrus peel, I find it a bit grity so I leave it out.

 

Common Uses and other info:

Use this stuff as you would a pepper shaker when making or eating almost any

Japanese Food.
