Wasabi Powder

Wasabi powder is a dried and ground form of wasabi, most commonly made from Japanese horseradish (Wasabia japonica) or as a blend of horseradish, mustard, and green food coloring. When mixed with a small amount of water, it forms a paste with the sharp, pungent aroma characteristic of wasabi. The powdered form is significantly more accessible and has a longer shelf life than fresh wasabi. It is used in the same way as paste wasabi, as a dip for sushi and sashimi, in dressings, sauces, or marinades. It is ideal for seasoning Asian-inspired dishes, noodle soups, or as a spicy condiment. The intensity of the heat can easily be adjusted by varying the amount of water added.
