Spicy seasoning is a powder blend designed to add heat along with savoury flavour. Typically it combines ground chilli or paprika with sugar, salt, garlic and onion powder and flavour enhancers, sometimes with black pepper or an acid for a sharper edge. How hot it tastes depends on the type and amount of chilli used.
On Taokaenoi - Crispy Seaweed Big Sheet Spicy Flavour the spicy seasoning is listed separately from a general seasoning, followed by the flavour enhancers disodium inosinate and disodium guanylate. The sweet-salty taste of the fried seaweed sheet softens the chilli, and the thin, crisp sheet carries the powder evenly.
Recipes differ: some spicy blends include soy sauce powder, dried shrimp or fish ingredients for extra savouriness, so allergens vary from product to product and are listed on each pack.
