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.
