When found out I was going to be sent a pack of KMC Salt & Pepper Seasoning Mix to try out I must say I was intrigued. I mean salt and pepper is just salt and pepper right?
All was revealed when to package arrived as this seasoning doesn’t just contain salt and pepper, it’s a spice and seasoning mix leaning heavily towards the Chinese sphere of cuisine. You can tell that the second you give it a smell, with its sweet aniseed pungency and nose tickling chilli note.
Giving it a quick taste straight out of the box those flavours mellow together and your left with a salty, spicy, umami taste in the mouth, coming together as a seasoning rather than a flavour. This is good as now we can confidently use it in a range of cuisines.
Now let’s get this straight out of the way, the Chinese link is underlined by the fact that this product contains MSG. I know a lot of people who don’t like the idea of MSG and some who swear they suffer from ‘Chinese Restaurant Syndrome’ and can’t tolerate the stuff.
There doesn’t seem to be any definitive evidence for intolerance to MSG, but if you are one of the people above, this product will not be for you.
For the rest of us get stuck in! I tried this on a few things but I found is really comes to life on meat, seafood.and for all your noodle dishes. I used it to enhance some packet ramen to which I added some leftover roast chicken and spring onion,,,delicious!
The final thing I tried it on was some lovely pork steaks and the seasoning suited it down to the ground.
It does give a really rounded seasoning and doesn’t come across overly Asian so it is a versatile product.
I also found that if you shake it around you can avoid the chilli flakes, cos you know sometimes even I don’t have to have food with heat.
I think this is going to be fantastic for barbeque season (pun intended!) as you can use this on pretty much anything.
Feeling that this used on BBQ’d chicken wings or aubergine if you’re veggie is going to be something special and simple to make.
Get yours over at https://kmcseasoning.co.uk/ and enhance your season!
