A sprinkling of this mixture works wonders on stir-fries, even steamed vegetables. It takes no time to make and can simply be set on your table and used as the whim strikes you.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Toast the peppercorns in a dry skillet over medium heat, shaking the pan occasionally, until they are fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  2. Mix with the salt and grind in a coffee or spice grinder.
