shichimi togarashi crackers

30 crackers — 40 minutes

We like making our own crackers, and to play around with different flavors. We enjoy the taste of the Japanese spice mix Shichimi Togarashi, which translates to '7-flavor chili pepper'.

How to make your own spice mix:

If you have a well-stocked spice rack, you can easily make it yourself. Mix together: 30 g chili flakes, 15 g sanshou (sichuan peppercorns), 15 g dried orange peel, 5 g black sesame seeds, 5 g white sesame seeds, 10 g ground ginger and 10 g aonori.

Some people substitute sichuan peppercorns for black peppercorns, we don't reccommend doing that, as they're not interchangeable, sichuan peppercorns are what makes it taste awesome. It's a numbing pepper, with a really distinctive taste and aroma. If you eat one peppercorn, you'll notice right away that it numbs your tongue and alters your sense of taste.
