Wasabi Horseradish sauce

[lokiju]

I got some of this stuff yesterday from the local grocery store and put it on a flat bread sammich I made today and holy hell it had me on the brink of tears.

I was eating it at my desk which is an exposed cube in my dept and if anyone saw me they must have wondered WTF was wrong with me.

Awesome stuff!

I highly recommend.

:thumbsup:

It's awesome stuff though.

A lot like the home made mustard a lot of Chinese places have.

It just blazes through your sinuses and as soon as it starts, it's gone.

I eat spicy stuff all the time but this stuff kicked my ass

i think it was alton brown that said on his show like 90% of the wasabi served is just horseradish, real wasabi is very expensive and tastes different

seriously? wasabi peas aren't all that spicy, then again everyone has their own idea of "spicy"

jalapeno mustard is good stuff too! Text

you sure about that? real stuff is extremely expensive

from wikipedia:

Wasabi and imitations

Almost all sushi bars in America and Japan serve imitation (seiyo) wasabi (see Etymology section, below) because authentic wasabi is extremely expensive. Few people, even in Japan, realize that the wasabi that they consume is in fact an imitation. Although very hard to find, real wasabi powder (from Wasabia japonica plant) is a convenient way to experience true wasabi's remarkable flavor, but most commercially available "wasabi" powders contain no true wasabi at all. Most utilize a powdered imitation made from horseradish, mustard seed, and green food coloring (sometimes Spirulina). Whether real or imitation the powder is mixed with an equal amount of water to make a paste.

To distinguish between the true variety of wasabi and the imitation product, real wasabi is known in Japan as hon-wasabi (???), meaning original or true wasabi. Local Sushi chefs usually substitute horseradish in Japanese restaurants.
