Flavor of Wasabi

Wasabi is a root known as "Japanese horseradish", categorize has a spice. The pungent taste leaves a burning sensation instantly and disappears quickly. Other than sushi, I already tasted the Japanese wasabi green peas! It is a spicy snack which gave me an itching sensation to my tongue

My wasabi paste was just resting in my pantry until Kaykat came up with "Think Wasabi", event started by Sunita "Think Spice.. think".

I decided to prepare the sweet onions rings flavored with wasabi and for those who need more kick like me, I made the wasabi sour cream dip Spicy buddies , you gonna shower me with hugs and those who hate spice , guys you are really missing something in your lifetime

For the onion rings, I fetched Emeril’s recipe. But i made modifications.
