Wasabi Dressing is a Soy Sauce-based salad dressing with a kick of Wasabi flavor. It can add an instant Japanese flavor just by drizzling over your ordinary salad or vegetable dishes. Most of us outside Japan don’t have access to fresh Wasabi root, and are likely to use Wasabi paste in a tube, or a powder form that is simply mixed with water to make a paste. These are both perfectly fine here. The amount of Wasabi for the dressing is up to your taste. Some brands are spicier than others, so adjust how much to use to your taste. We have often used the dressing with salad greens, deep fried lotus roots and Kabocha squash, but also boiled or grilled vegetables would do well. Wasabi Dressing is so easy to make, it only takes a matter of minutes and brings a dish in a new direction.
