Make your own Togarashi power (and Aioli)

It’s hard work, I can tell you that.

I’ve used the Aioli for a pokebowl, matches really well with Sashimi Tuna.
You need besides a mortar and a jar the following ingredients:

  1. 3 tsp szechuan pepper
  2. 3 tsp chili flakes
  3. 3 tsp dried orange peel
  4. 2 tsp ginger powder
  5. 2 tsp sesame seed
  6. 2 tsp poppy seed
  7. ½ sheet of Nori

Grind the heck out of everything until everything looks evenly ground and the result should be medium coarse, if that’s any way of indicating it.

Now put everything in a jar for later use.


The sauce:

  1. 1 cup of good mayo (will make a recipe for that as well, both the fast and slow version)
  2. 2 tsp smoked paprika powder
  3. 1 tsp sesame oil
  4. 1 tbsp soy sauce
  5. 1 tsp lemon juice
  6. 1 tbsp Togarashi powder

Mix everything together so there is an even consistency and let it rest in the refrigerator for 24 hours before use.

See the orange-y blobs? That’s the sauce.
