Ingredients
- 1/2 cup white sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
Instructions
- Place the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast, stirring constantly, until they become fragrant and lightly golden, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to burn them.
- Transfer the toasted sesame seeds to a mortar and pestle or a small food processor. Add the sea salt.
- Grind the mixture with a grinding motion until the sesame seeds are mostly crushed but still have some texture. Alternatively, pulse in the food processor a few times.
- Let the gomashio cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Tips
- Store in a cool, dark place for up to a month.
- Use black sesame seeds for a different flavor and color.
- Adjust the salt to your taste preference.
