Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1/4 cup of salt, 1/4 cup of black pepper, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon of onion powder.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the salt and black pepper. Use a whisk or a spoon to blend them together until they are evenly mixed.
- Add the garlic powder and onion powder to the salt and pepper mixture. Continue to mix thoroughly, ensuring that all the ingredients are well incorporated.

- Use your Chinese Salt and Pepper seasoning to enhance the flavor of various dishes, such as stir-fried vegetables, grilled meats, or as a seasoning for fried snacks.
Tips
- Use freshly ground black pepper for the most intense flavor profile. Pre-ground pepper can lose its potency quickly.
- Toast the salt and pepper lightly in a dry pan before mixing to enhance their aromatic qualities and release deeper flavors.
- Store your seasoning in an airtight glass container in a cool, dark place to maintain its freshness and prevent clumping.
- Experiment with different salt types like sea salt or Himalayan pink salt for subtle variations in taste.
- For a spicier version, consider adding a pinch of ground Sichuan peppercorns or red chili flakes to the mix.
- Always mix ingredients thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors throughout the seasoning.
