Instructions
- Toast the Szechuan peppercorns in a dry skillet over medium heat for 60-90 seconds, stirring frequently.
- Once the Szechuan peppercorns are fragrant, add the dried orange peel and both kinds of sesame seeds to the skillet, and continue to stir for 2-3 minutes until the white sesame seeds start to look lightly toasted.
- Add the contents of the pan to a spice grinder, mortar and pestle, or high-speed blender pitcher along with the ichimi togarashi, aonori (or crushed nori sheets), and ginger.
- Grind until the mixture is a powder, with little bits of orange rind and some whole sesame seeds visible.
- Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and store in a cool, dry place. Use as needed to season dishes.

Notes
- 🔥 Toasted, Not Smoldering:
- 🔥
- Toast your Szechuan peppercorns and spices over moderate heat in a thick skillet, stirring frequently to enhance their flavor without burning.
- 👯 Grind It Out:
- 👯
- Grind spices to a coarse texture—shichimi togarashi shines with visible sesame seeds and orange rind, not a superfine powder.
- 🌶️ Spice Girls:

- Adjust ichimi togarashi (or gochugaru) to control heat, but add cautiously so it doesn’t overpower the blend’s delicate balance.
- 🛑 Stop! Cool Before You Store:
- 🛑
- Cool the togarashi completely before sealing it in an airtight container to preserve its aromatic and fresh profile.
