black pepper sea salt
黑胡椒盐· hei hu jiao yan
Taste & Role
It serves as a dry finishing seasoning and dipping salt, most famously sprinkled over Taiwanese fried chicken, popcorn chicken, fried squid, and french fries. It can also be used to season stir-fries, grilled meats, or roasted vegetables for a quick peppery-salty finish.
What it is
Black pepper sea salt is a simple Chinese seasoning blend of finely ground black pepper mixed with salt, sometimes with a touch of white pepper or MSG depending on the brand. It is a staple condiment in Taiwanese-style street food cooking, where it is tossed over hot fried foods straight out of the oil. Versions sold in Asia are typically finely milled so the pepper clings evenly to food.
