A must-have with meals---black sesame salt
Overview
Sesame salt was a much nobler thing than pickles in my childhood. Pickles contain too much cheap salt, and although sesame salt is salty, its aroma far surpasses that of evil salt. Drink porridge, mix vegetables, roll pancakes, pancakes, lightly add a spoonful of sesame salt, the aroma of time will rise, you feel happy, sesame is elegant, just a spoonful of it is better than many oils, salts, sauces and vinegars. Sesame seeds are looked down upon by others, but sesame salt penetrates into your internal organs. Its salty fragrance makes you salivate in your teeth, but you don't dare to have too much greed. It seems that you can only eat such a small spoonful. If you eat more, you will not be able to bear it. As the old saying goes, it is enjoyable, but if you eat less, you will not feel satisfied. Just a spoonful, spread it out, or sprinkle it in, whether it is black or white, ignore the color, ignore the food, only remember the fragrance, which has penetrated for decades and is still placed in front of my dining table. The preparation of sesame salt is very simple, just stir-fry and mash it. When I was a kid, I pounded it in a mortar. You can also roll it with a rolling pin, but don't be too fine. The grainy texture tastes delicious. Nowadays, there are high-end food processors, but you must also be careful not to grind them too finely.

Steps
-
Wash the black sesame seeds and remove the water.
-
Drying in the sun can also be done in an oven. Of course, if you think the sesame seeds are clean, you can save 1-2 steps.
-
Put a non-stick pan on the fire, heat it up, then turn down the heat and pour in the black sesame seeds. If it is an ordinary pan, you can apply some peanut oil. Use a shovel to stir continuously. In fact, the best tool is an egg beater, which can stir very evenly. You can taste the sesame seeds when they are ripe. If they make a crackling sound when frying, they are basically ripe when the sound disappears. White sesame seeds are easy to judge, just fry them until golden.
-
Remove the fried sesame seeds and let cool. Then add salt and cooked peanuts and place in a food processor using a grinder. There shouldn't be too many peanuts, as they will cover up the aroma of sesame seeds, but of course they don't need to be added.
-
Grind two pieces for 30 seconds, stirring in between. Break up the sesame salt and make it easy to form lumps.
