Wasabi is a Japanese horseradish condiment. It's the little blob of bright green paste that you sometimes see on a plate of sushi. It comes in a few different forms... I buy a tin of powder, and mix it with water when I make sushi. The stuff that's premade in paste form tends to lose its potency if you don't use it up fast enough.
When Adam and I have sushi, I make about 1/2 teaspoon of the powder and enough water to make a paste. It's POTENT. I love the hot stuff, Adam not so much, so that amount is plenty for the 2 of us.
I *was* making the sushi-su myself, but Adam picked up a bottle of pre-seasoned rice vinegar, diluted with water and seasoned with salt and sugar, so that's what I used last time, and it was just as good.
We get all our sushi stuff at the health food store. Sometimes grocery stores carry the basic items, but we're not that lucky. LOL
