ionic 2 Populate Select Options from json

I'm trying to dynamically populate a ion-select dropdown with a json object.

My html component looks like this:

<ion-item [hidden]="editOptions.isEditing">
  <ion-note stacked color="primary">{{label}}</ion-note>
  <ion-note class="inline-edit"> {{value}}&nbsp;</ion-note>
</ion-item>
<ion-item [hidden]="!editOptions.isEditing">
  <ion-label stacked color="primary">{{label}}</ion-label>

  <ion-select [(ngModel)]="value" [selectOptions]="additionalData" [required]="required" [name]="value">
    <!--<ion-option>None</ion-option>-->
  </ion-select>
</ion-item>

and In my calling code i try to populate the select options but they have no example in there documentation

additionalData = {
  title: 'Pizza Toppings',
  subTitle: 'Select your toppings',
  mode: 'md'
};

How do I add my options to this select, without using an *ngFor in the html? I would prefer to just pass them like so:

additionalData = {
  title: 'Pizza Toppings',
  subTitle: 'Select your toppings',
  mode: 'md'
  options: [{id:1, description:'Pepperoni'}]
};
