Add flavor with sesame salt
Print Edition
Sesame salt is a dry seasoning common in Hebei and Henan provinces, made with two simple ingredients: white or black sesame seeds and salt.
It is different from pepper salt, which has Sichuan pepper for a bolder flavor. Sesame salt has a purer taste and smells like lightly stir-fried sesame seeds.
Sesame seeds are rich in fiber, protein and Vitamin E. They also contain antioxidants.
There are plenty of ways to enjoy sesame salt. Sprinkle it over a salad, baked potato, steamed vegetable or lo mein for an extra layer of flavor.
Sesame salt is used to make steamed twisted buns, a salty staple food that rolls a layer of the sesame salt before twisting the dough to form the bun.
If you want to experiment with something more, sesame salt can also be used to make sushi or bread, given that light, salty flavor goes with almost anything.
