Wasabi

Wasabi
Key facts
Eye-wateringly pungent, wasabi should be eaten in very small quantities, and is a classic accompaniment to sushi. Not surprisingly, most wasabi is produced in Japan and either grated or made into a paste.

Ground from the cousin of our horseradish and called wasabi root in Japan, it is mixed with cold water just like mustard.

Although its main use is as a condiment for sushi (delicious), it is also brilliant mixed into creamed horseradish to give it back its kick.

Just use a ¼ teaspoon of wasabi powder to 2 tablespoons of creamed horseradish.If you have problems tracking down wasabi and other Japanese ingredients, try www.clearspring.co.uk
