What can I use instead of wasabi powder?!


Question: What can I use instead of wasabi powder?
In this fish recipe you make a dip using 1 tbsp wasabi powder, sour cream and a little bit of mayo. I don't have wasabi powder. What can I use instead? Or if you can provide a good dip recipe for crispy baked white fish I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Answers:

You could use horseradish but prepared horseradish is usually loaded with vinegar and this will greatly alter the taste of your recipe. But if you like the vinegar taste then it's not a problem.

You could also make a simple tartar sauce with mayonnaise, dill relish, lemon juice and a dash of tabasco or other hot sauce.



Hi!

Wasabi is simply the Japanese version of Horseradish sauce. The recipe is probably just suggesting a spicy dip to go with the fish but you don't have to have it spicy. You could probably just make a tartar sauce.

Ingredients:
?1 cup mayonnaise
?1 teaspoon prepared mustard
?2 tablespoons chopped sweet pickle
?1 tablespoon chopped drained capers
?2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
Preparation:
Blend well; refrigerate and chill thoroughly. Makes about 1 1/4 cups of tartar sauce.
