Flavored Salts


Another interesting item at J-shop are these flavored salts. 

This is the one I bought.  It was $4 something.  It's Negi (green onion) Shichimi Salt.  I like it a lot. A little goes a long way.

I saw those too. What do you usually put it on top of? Or do you use it in cooking?

Nice! I love creative spices! They can really make the meal!Last night I made a pork butt in my crock pot. Stab it with a knife. Then pour Mesquite smoke flavor and sea salt. And I added spices on top. Slow cooked for 18 hours! Yummers!

Jenny, I don't cook too much, so I usually just put a little on my food before I eat . . . really little . . . it's pretty potent.

Neat yah, Susan.

Uuuuuu . . . tempura! Great idea, Kat.

YESSSSSS, Didi.

Great, Les!

Whoa, sounds awesome, Mark!

I tried to give up salt around 6 months ago... man, no shoyu is pretty tough for one japanee kid. Was doing OK with what my daughter calls stinky feet spice... it is tons of raw garlic mixed in with generous amount of balsamic vinegar and squeeze of lemon; works well as a salt substitute but I don't think the high acidity is good for you and of course it does smell like, well, stinky feet. But, REALLY hard to make kim chee and pickled veggies without salt. Almost like making vegan kalua pork.
