Wasabi Mayo

We wanted a good wasabi flavour without too powerful a kick, so we came up with this recipe. Combining with mayo tames the sharpness of the wasabi and gives it a nice creamy texture. The hint of lime balances it all out.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon wasabi paste

1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice

120 ml (4 fl oz) good-quality mayonnaise

Method

Combine the ingredients well. It’s better to make this mayo the day before so the flavours marry. You can also use powdered wasabi: use ½ teaspoon mixed with a little water, to make a paste. Store in the refrigerator, tightly covered with plastic wrap, until ready to serve.
