The Momofuku Spicy Salt is made with their Savory Salt as base, blended with cayenne peppers, dried chilies, and gochugaru (Korean chili powder). It has a rust orange color, reflecting the heat and spice. It’s savory, with earthy hints, and that great spicy kick.
This Spicy Salt by iconic culinary brand, Momofuku, is great to use on shrimp, chicken, meatballs, or noodles. Sprinkle it over ripe mangoes or guava. You can even use it as an ingredient in your meat marinades, or make your own hot honey butter.
A culinary brand that has risen to icon status, Momofuku began when David Chang opened Momofuku Noodle Bar in New York City in 2004. The New York Times credits it with “the rise of contemporary Asian-American cuisine,” and it was the beginning of a line of popular restaurants, including the bakery, Momofuku Milk Bar.
The name means “lucky peach,” in Japanese, and Chang picked it as a homage to Momofuku Ando, the inventor of instant ramen, on which he basically subsisted throughout late nights in his university dorm. He has been named by Esquire as one of “the most influential people of the 21st century,” with his innovative takes on food, and his full support of local, responsible, and sustainable farmers and businesses.
The Momofuku brand now has restaurants in New York, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Toronto, and Sydney. It also has a bar, a quarterly magazine named “Lucky Peach,” and its infamous bakery. More than that, they also sell restaurant-grade seasonings and sauces for home cooks.
