Spice Lab – Asian Kitchen Salt & Pepper Seasoning (150g) - GF, DF, No Added MSG

Bring the wok-fried magic home — no takeaway needed.

You know that “salt & pepper” flavour you get from a good Chinese restaurant? Light, aromatic, savoury, and ridiculously moreish?

This is that — in a pantry jar.

Chef Ian’s Asian Kitchen Salt & Pepper is built for crispy chicken, prawns, squid, tofu, and anything you want to finish with that unmistakable restaurant-style hit. It’s balanced (not salty for the sake of it), gently spiced, and designed to work as both a cooking seasoning and a finishing sprinkle.

Why it earns a spot in the Underground Chef pantry

Because it’s a multi-job tool, not a single-use spice.

• Turns “plain” protein into “order again” flavour
• Makes air fryer snacks taste like they came out of a wok
• Works as a seasoning, coating, or finishing dust
• Perfect for quick feeds and Friday night nibbles

Flavour Profile

Savoury, aromatic pepper warmth with a clean salty finish — designed to taste “wok-ready” without being heavy.

How to Use It

Classic Salt & Pepper coating (crispy everything)

• Sprinkle onto chicken pieces, prawns, squid or tofu before cooking.
• For extra crunch: toss with a little potato starch/cornflour, then air fry or shallow fry.

Table seasoning (instant upgrade)

• Dust over stir-fries, noodles, fried rice, steamed dumplings, or even eggs.

Veg + sides

• Roast potatoes, chips, broccolini, green beans, corn — then finish with a light dusting.

Quick dipping salt / marinade

• Mix with a touch of oil + lime juice for a fast marinade, or keep it dry as a sprinkle-on dipping salt.

Chef Ian’s Tip

Use it twice for proper “takeaway” vibes:

1. Season before cooking.
2. A light finishing dust right at the end while it’s hot.
   That second hit is the difference-maker.

Perfect For

• Salt & pepper calamari
