Calories: 20kcal
Ingredients
- 1 Fresh Wasabi Root which equals 3-4 tablespoon of grated wasabi
- 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Rice Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Mirin (a sweet Japanese cooking wine)
- Sugar a pinch optional
- Salt a pinch optional
Instructions
- Remove the tough outer layer of the wasabi root with a vegetable peeler.
- Grate the wasabi root using a grater or microplane.
- Next, add the grated wasabi to a bowl along with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and mirin.
- Mix these ingredients thoroughly, adding a pinch of salt and sugar for a balanced flavor.
- Then taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
- Add some water or soy sauce if you want a thinner sauce. For a sweeter sauce, add a bit more mirin.
- Once you are happy with the flavor of the sauce, transfer it to a jar or other container and store it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Use the freshest wasabi root you can find for the best flavor and texture. Fresh wasabi root should be firm and bright green in color.
- When grating the fresh wasabi, use a fine mesh grater or microplane to get a finely grated consistency.
- If you can't find real wasabi root, you can also use powdered wasabi and use 5-6 tablespoons instead, but the flavor will be somewhat different.
- Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
