Wasabi - Homemade Wasabi Paste Recipe
Wasabi - Homemade Wasabi Paste Recipe - An essential accompaniment for sushi or sushi bowls & if you find fresh wasabi rhizomes in specialty Asian grocery stores.
Ingredients
- 1 Piece Fresh Wasabi Rhizome
- 0.5 Teaspoons Cold water
Instructions
- Rinse the wasabi under cool running water.
- Clean and trim off any bumps.
- Cut a segment for the amount you wish to use and store the rest.
- With the thick end of the wasabi held perpendicular to the grater, press tightly and use a small circular motion to grate the wasabi.
- Once the wasabi is grated, press on the paste to further release the flavours and maximise the taste.
- Gather and press the grated wasabi into a small ball.
- Your wasabi paste is ready.
Notes
- Make only that much wasabi paste you intend to use. Fresh wasabi paste loses its potency rapidly.
