5.0 out of 5 stars The Princess of Hot Stuff, April 23, 2004

This review is from: Hime Powdered Wasabi (Japanese Horseradish) - 1 oz. (Misc.)

"Hime" is "Princess Brand" and it is a big seller in Japanese and Korean grocery stores. This faintly green powder is mixed with water to make a thick paste to get wasabi, used for sushi, sashimi and to flavor tuna and other dishes.

One trick is to mix the wasabi in a rice bowl or tea bowl and turn the bowl upside-down. Yes, that's what I said, turn it over. The paste will stick in the bowl, and the developing sulfurous gases that make wasabi hot, hot, hot are retained, improving the bite. Get that wasabi buzz.

I like to use it in tuna with wasabi-potato crust. Or being short on time, I just grill some yellowtail and mix a wasabi-sugar-soy sauce glaze and brush it on at the end of the grilling. Hot and sweet. Another totally bizarre but quite normal Japanese dish is wasabi nori chazuke, or tea-rice. Get some leftover rice warmed up in a bowl, put a dab of wasabi and a sprinkle of sushi nori strips. Pour hot green tea (bancha) over and drink like a soup. Said to be a cure for hangover (I wouldn't know, but they say it works.)

Well, maybe it won't actually spice up your love life, but then what can you say about powdered Wasabi. Besides, it got you reading this review.
We mix thoroughly two tablespoons of the powder with about a half cup of fat-free mayonnaise. Use it as a table condiment. Good stuff!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great grocery item for creative cooking!, August 3, 2011

I purchased this wasabi powder at our local Shaw's (same as Albertson's) for $2.99. It is a very practical way to buy wasabi because you can make your own wasabi for sushi simply by adding water and stirring it together in a small bowl or you can add this to mayonnaise, mustard, oil and vinegar or do whatever you please with it. This powdered wasabi has fresh flavor and it's an easy way to keep wasabi on hand for getting creative. How about adding a small amount to a rub for seafood or steak?
Have fun with this practical grocery item that only takes up a small amount of space in your cupboard! Or pack it in your bag when you head off for the weekend!
