Muối Mè (Toasted Sesame Peanut Sprinkle) is a cherished, easy-to-make vegan staple in Vietnamese kitchens. Combining toasted sesame seeds and peanuts, it brings a satisfying nutty crunch to rice or sticky rice, lasts for ages, and requires minimal effort to prepare.
Crush the peanuts and sesame seeds. I like using a pestle and mortar, but you can also put them in a resealable bag and use a rolling pin or bottle to crush them.For a bigger batch, pulse the peanuts and sesame seeds in a food processor or blender briefly.
Mix in the salt and sugar.
Store this delicious blend in an airtight jar, ready to sprinkle anytime you want!
