Umami Seasoning
Description
Umami Seasoning is made by finely grinding konbu and dried shiitake mushrooms into a powder, then mixing this powder thoroughly with salt. The resulting mixture stores well in a sealed container and can be sprinkled on foods to enhance savory flavor profiles. The dried ingredients provide natural glutamates that enrich taste complexity, useful for seasoning meat, vegetables, or soups.
The process requires simply grinding the components to a fine powder to ensure even distribution throughout the salt, making the seasoning easy to use and integrate into recipes as a finishing or cooking salt alternative.
Ingredients
- 5 grams konbu
- 3 grams dried shiitake mushrooms (stems removed)
- 150 grams salt (~½ cup)
Instructions
- Break the konbu and shiitake mushrooms into small pieces and add them to a spice grinder, blender, or food processor. Run until the ingredients have been ground into a fine powder.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl with the salt and mix to combine.
- Store the umami seasoning salt in a sealed container.
