Steps
Place the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast, stirring frequently, until the seeds are fragrant and lightly golden, about 5 to 7 minutes; take care not to scorch them.
Transfer the toasted sesame seeds to a plate or shallow bowl and let them cool completely so they remain crisp while being ground.
Combine the cooled sesame seeds and kosher salt in a spice grinder, mortar and pestle, or food processor. Pulse or grind until the seeds are partially crushed and the mixture resembles a coarse, crumbly seasoning; do not process it into a smooth paste.
Transfer the gomasio to an airtight container. Use it as a seasoning for rice, stir-fries, grilled foods, and other savory dishes.
Notes
Store the seasoned salt in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few weeks. The source page was partially paywalled, so the ingredient quantities and detailed method were reconstructed from the dish context and standard gomasio proportions.
