Ingredients
Directions
Add the nori to a food processor or spice grinder and grind thoroughly.
Add the sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, and salt, if using, and either pulse, if using a food processor, or grind a few times if using a grinder until you have a loose, dry mixture. Tip: Don’t grind too long or you’ll end up with tahini! You should be able to sprinkle this condiment on top of dishes.
Taste and add the wasabi powder by hand, if desired, for a bit of spice.
Transfer to a spice jar or mason jar for storage.
Chef's Notes
Substitutions
Instead of nori sheets, use kombu or dulse.
In place of pumpkin seeds, use sunflower seeds.

How to use
Sprinkle on top of grain bowls, soups, stir-fries, salads, wraps, or avocado toast.
