Make the Most of This Recipe
Did You Know
Wasabi powder is the Japanese version of horseradish and has a sharp, pungent, fiery flavor.
How-To
To toast sesame seed, bake uncovered in ungreased shallow pan in 350°F oven 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Or cook in ungreased heavy skillet over medium heat about 2 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown.
Variation
The Wasabi Aioli also makes a super sandwich spread. Spread on bread or buns instead of mayo, and top with your favorite deli meat or a juicy grilled burger.
