288344 Sun Jan 27 12:13:43 -0800 2002 12 27 General Chowhounding Topics 0 1555381 I've been long time fan of the Japanese Kewpie Mayonnaise. It goes into my sandwiches and salads. Yesterday I saw in the store a light green version of this called wasabe mayonnaise. Wow, two of my favorite things in one! Anyone have some recipes for wasabe mayonnaise? Sun Jan 27 12:13:43 -0800 2002 0 HLing 1 1555383 Here's one I found. I haven't tried it yet, but intend to when the price of asparagus goes down! I think I'd reduce the sugar though.

I am not a great fan of kewpie mayo but have accepted the Japanese approach of using mayo as a dip for many vegetables, particularly broccoli or cauliflower. I need to examine this kewpie wasabi concoction closely.

I just got some fresh bamboo yesterday, and now I'm reminded that in Taiwan we eat bamboo as well as raw bitter melon just dipped in mayonnaise. Of course, it's usually summer food.

Tue Jan 29 08:56:12 -0800 2002 1555383 0 BBK 1 1555408 I always ask for extra wasabi paste and a side of plain mayonnaise whenever I have sushi. All I do is mix the wasabi paste into the mayonnaise to taste. I dip the sushi into wasabi infused low sodium soy sauce, then into the wasabi mayonnaise I mixed myself right at the table and it's delicious. Sun Jan 27 16:30:48 -0800 2002 1555381 0 Pam 1 1555411 I make a wasabi aioli that I serve with sesame crusted tuna on rice crackers. That is a passed appetizer. You can serve it as a main dish also. Marinate good quality tuna in a ginger-soy sauce, dredge it in sesame seeds (I use a combo of black and white), and sear in a hot pan. Serve with sticky rice or sesame noodles or spinach or asparagus or whatever you want, and top the tuna with a dollop of the wasabi aioli. You can also make a fresh tuna sandwich with nice rare tuna, sprouts and wasabi aioli. jake Link: http://www.nycooks.com Sun Jan 27 18:54:23 -0800 2002 1555381 0 jacob pine 1 1555457 Making your own wasabi mayo is a great idea, but there's something really adorable about this Kewpie product. The squishy bottle, the way it squeezes out in an extruded star shape, its unnatural color reminiscent of the iMac or VW Beetles. It just makes me smile to use it. I'm finding it really tasty on my egg salad/iceberg lettuce sandwich right now (on Japanese bread so soft and white as to make Wonder look like some poly-grain seeded country health loaf in comparison). Mon Jan 28 15:40:35 -0800 2002 1555381 0 Tom Meg 1 1555475 For wasabi mayonaise, could you mix some wasabi powder into regular mayonaise? Or maybe get some fresh Wasabi and grate it and mix it into mayo? Mon Jan 28 17:52:32 -0800 2002 1555381 0 howard 2 1557563 I think that a mixture of wasabi powder or paste, mayonaise and soy sauce would be a great wasabi mayo recipe. You would probably want to mess w/ amounts of ingredients to come up w/ a satisfying combonation. Hope this works for you. Fri Dec 12 11:56:03 -0800 2003 1555475 0 Kim Clarke 1 1555477 I sometimes use wasabi powder instead of Colman's dry mustard in things like deviled eggs, salmon salad (using salmon from the can, like tuna), chicken salad, tuna salad. I also love to combine a bit with cream cheese and have, as the late, great Jack Soo once said in an episode of Barney Miller: "sashimi and cream cheese on a bagel" My yiddishe mama thinks I'm crazy (meshuga) but it is very tasty! Mon Jan 28 17:58:45 -0800 2002 1555381 0 Jill-O 1 1555574 Hey HLing -- Does a version of this actually made by the Kewpie people exist? I looked during lunch and the only brand of wasabi mayo I could find was Shirakiku. Same squishy bottle and exactly the same size, but sans the embossed kewpie kid on the plastic. I'm gonna be upset if I got a cheap knockoff -- I really wanted a green kewpie! Tue Jan 29 14:25:18 -0800 2002 1555381 0 Dennison 2 1555651 Dennison, it was Shirakiku. I called it Kewpie out of habbit, and also because you can make the kewpie doll hair shape with the tube tip.... Wed Jan 30 07:27:15 -0800 2002 1555574 0 HLing
