Wasabi has its origins in Japanese cuisine. Wasabi root is actually the stem of the plant that is ground into a fine paste and consumed with sushi and other Japanese dishes. It is not spicy like a chilli paste, but it packs a wallop. It has a strong pungent taste that hits the roof of your nose rather than your tongue. It has a bite that is similar to the Bengali kasundi but much more stronger and with a clean herbal taste. Wasabi should be ingested in small quantities. It produces strong fumes that rise up and hits your nose and can potentially clear a nasal congestion! Wasabi is also available in powder form that you need to mix with water to get the desired consistency. Sprig wasabi paste comes premixed in a tube that is ready to use. How to use wasabi paste?
