Instructions

  1. Wash 1 wasabi root under cold running water and gently scrub to remove any dirt. Remove the stems by hand.
  2. Use a knife to remove any black parts. (Do not peel completely.)
  3. Grate using a Japanese style grater (oroshiki/oroshigame) by gently pressing the wasabi root over the spikes and moving in a repetitive circular motion. Grate what you need, don't grate the whole root.
  4. Transfer to a chopping board.
  5. Using a sharp knife, cut the wasabi finely using a rocking motion. This will make it smoother and break down any lumps.
  6. Enjoy with your favourite Japanese sashimi, sushi and noodle dishes!

Notes

  • Grate how much you need and store the leftover wasabi root using the instructions below.
  • Wipe the wasabi root dry, wrap it in dry kitchen paper and store it in a plastic ziplock bag in the refrigerator. If it dries out, rehydrate it by soaking in cold water.
  • Once the stems are removed and it's been grated once, keep for up to 2 weeks using the tips above.
