Crunchy Umami Multi-Seed Topping
A healthy and delicious crunchy seed mix consisted of sunflower, pumpkin and sesame seeds coated and roasted in an Asian-inspired sauce. Sprinkle it generously on soups and salads. Eat it with hot steaming fragrant rice along with other side dishes, or with slurpy juicy fat noodles. It has a lingering smokey taste and an unforgettable rich umami flavor profile. It is hard to resist. I kept nibbling at it and snacking on it. It is so easy to meet the daily seed intake with this delicious crunchy seed mix. Try making some yourself and you will see why. It can be prepared quickly and easily, as with my other recipes. Have fun!
