  Blend the mixture

  Add 100 grams of coarse salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vegetarian seasoning, and 3 teaspoons of monosodium glutamate to a bowl and mix well.

  Put all the ingredients including horn chili, garlic, mushrooms, and carrots into a blender and blend the mixture until very fine.

  Add the blended chili-garlic mixture to the salt mixture and mix well. Then briefly blend this mixture in the blender.

  Just blend the salt mixture briefly, do not blend it too finely, because when finely blended, the salt will clump together when roasted, and the blended mixture will contain a lot of water, which will take longer to roast.

  Roasting Salt

  Add the entire mixture just ground into the pan. Roast over low heat for 3 – 4 minutes until the salt is completely dry.

  When the roasted salt clumps into small dry pieces, transfer all the salt into a pestle and grind it finely.

  After grinding the salt, roast it again for another 4 – 5 minutes over low heat to ensure the salt is completely dry. Turn off the heat and store the salt in a container for future use.
