Equipment

• Measuring spoons
• Whisk or spoon for mixing
• Airtight container or small jars for storing the seasoning

Instructions

1. Combine all dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the chicken bouillon powder, garlic powder, onion powder, ground ginger, white pepper, soy sauce powder, sugar, seaweed flakes, chili powder, and mushroom powder.
2. Mix thoroughly: Use a whisk or spoon to blend all ingredients evenly. Make sure there are no clumps and the seasoning looks uniform in color and texture.
3. Transfer to storage container: Using a funnel if needed, pour the seasoning mix into an airtight container or small jar. Label it with the contents and date.

Feel free to swap chicken bouillon with vegetable or mushroom bouillon to make this seasoning vegetarian or vegan-friendly.

For a smoky twist, add a pinch of smoked paprika or chipotle powder.
