Wasabi Chicken is a sauteed chicken pieces coated with wasabi flavored simple teriyaki sauce. Wasabi paste is well known as a condiment for sushi, sashimi, and traditional Japanese noodles. However, zesty and spicy wasabi also complements meat dishes such as teriyaki chicken and steak surprisingly well.
