Ingredients

  • 2 cup coarse salt (kosher or sea)
  • 2 tbsp hardwood sawdust

Method

  • Line the bottom of the wok with aluminum foil (a 6 inch square will do) and place the sawdust on top.
  • Set a round wire cake rack in the wok.
  • Spread the salt in a thin layer in an aluminum pie pan and place on the wire rack.
  • Place the wok over high heat.
  • When you start to see wisps of smoke, reduce the heat to medium, tightly cover the wok, and smoke the salt for 20 minutes.
  • Cool the salt to room temperature, then transfer it to a jar, cover, and store away from heat and light.
  • *Smoked salt keeps well in a sealed jar.
  • If it starts to cake after a couple of months, flake it with a fork.
  • **You can customize the smoke flavor by using oak, apple, hickory sawdust, etc.
