Homemade mayonnaise with wasabi
4 servings
10 minutes
Homemade wasabi mayonnaise is a refined blend of traditional sauce and a sharp Japanese accent. The roots of classic mayonnaise trace back to European cuisine, but its variations are widespread around the world. Wasabi adds zest, a mild spiciness, and a fresh aroma, transforming the familiar sauce into an original ingredient for Japanese dishes. The thick, velvety texture of the mayonnaise envelops the flavor, creating a harmonious balance between tenderness and spiciness. This sauce pairs excellently with seafood, sushi, rolls or salads and can also be a great complement to meat and fish. Homemade preparation allows control over taste, consistency and ingredient quality, making the sauce unique and rich.
