Wasabi

Ground from the cousin of our horseradish and called wasabi root in Japan, it is mixed with cold water just like mustard. Although its main use is as a condiment for sushi (delicious), it is also brilliant mixed into creamed horseradish to give it back its kick. Just use a ¼ teaspoon of wasabi powder to 2 tablespoons of creamed horseradish.
