How do you eat that green wasabi stuff?

I love it and try to place it on my sushi roll so that i won't get the sinus burn.
But it always ambushes me. Any suggestions?

Mix it with soy sauce, silly.

I love wasabi. Sometimes I have it on a hamburger.

You mean wasababi?

By the heaping spoonful! HMMMMMMMmmmmm.... yummy!

OK, thanks. I'm a sushi noob.

No problem. I love sushi!

I guess. It's green, it's yummy, and it hurts.

Sushi=rice and vinegar
Sashimi=fish

Wasabi is generally sold either in the form of a root (real wasabi), which must be very finely grated before use, or as a ready-to-use paste (horseradish, mustard and food coloring), usually in tubes approximately the size and shape of travel toothpaste tubes. Once the paste is prepared it should remain covered until served to protect the flavor from evaporation. For this reason, sushi chefs usually put the wasabi between the fish and the rice.

Fresh leaves of wasabi can also be eaten and have some of the hot flavor of wasabi roots. They can be eaten as wasabi salad by pickling overnight with a salt and vinegar based dressing, or by quickly boiling them with a little soy sauce. Additionally, the leaves can be battered and deep-fried into chips.

For those who mistakenly consume too much of this condiment, the burning sensations it can induce are short-lived compared to the effects of chili peppers, especially when water is used to remove the spicy flavor.

Wasabi is often served with sushi or sashimi, usually accompanied with soy sauce. The two are sometimes mixed to form a single dipping sauce known as Wasabi-joyu. Legumes (or peas) may be roasted or fried, then coated with a wasabi-like mixture (usually an imitation); these are then eaten as an eye-watering "in the hand" snack.

Wasabi Ice Cream is a recent but increasingly popular innovation.

Wasabi ice cream?

:hhh: shit is da bomb

I know - you've heard the Richard & Sal wasababi phone call, haven't you? That and My Turban is Dirty are just about the only ones I really laugh at.

Got how to work the chop sticks?

My mouth is watering just thinking about them.



I love the way they pinch your cheeks.

Yum.
I had some wasabi almonds the other day.

Horseradish is a different plant.

Thanks kali. I put the tiniest amount of it - i must have a low wasabi threshold.

I put it on everything from sandwiches to pizza, always have a fresh tube at home. Don't like the creamy mayo version, only the real stuff.

It's great for opening up your sinuses.

i really do endorse rice

i like brown rice...
