Wasabi is generally sold either in the form of a root (real wasabi), which must be very finely grated before use, or as a ready-to-use paste (horseradish, mustard and food coloring), usually in tubes approximately the size and shape of travel toothpaste tubes. Once the paste is prepared it should remain covered until served to protect the flavor from evaporation. For this reason, sushi chefs usually put the wasabi between the fish and the rice.
Fresh leaves of wasabi can also be eaten and have some of the hot flavor of wasabi roots. They can be eaten as wasabi salad by pickling overnight with a salt-and-vinegar-based dressing, or by quickly boiling them with a little soy sauce. Additionally, the leaves can be battered and deep-fried into chips.
The burning sensations it can induce are short-lived compared to the effects of chili peppers, especially when water is used to remove the spicy flavor.
Wasabi is often served with sushi or sashimi, usually accompanied with soy sauce. The two are sometimes mixed to form a single dipping sauce known as Wasabi-joyu. Legumes (or peas) may be roasted or fried, then coated with a wasabi-like mixture (usually an imitation); these are then eaten as an eye-watering "in the hand" snack.
Wasabi ice cream is a recent but increasingly popular innovation.
ooooooohhhh no wonder I have never heard of it. I don't eat sushi!

Sherri, you and I could go out to eat together anytime! These are all my favorites, too.
What I really love is to take a warm chocolate brownie, put a generous scoop of butter pecan ice cream on top of that, then smother it in homemade hot fudge sauce and sprinkle generously with chopped pecans. Mmmmmmmm
If I have to have "real" food, I love
Chimichangas
queso dip and chips (the white cheese kind, please!)
corn on the cob in season roasted on the grill in the husks, then smothered in butter and salted heavily.
strawberries! Anytime, anywhere, any way!
Oatmeal with butter and sugar (no milk, thank you very much)
Did I mention that I'm a big fan of butter?
tacos
Do you also get the impression that Mexican food is my favorite?
Actually, it would be easier to say what I DON"T like than to say what I love. I hate potatoes, peas, beans and milk.
I'm with you on the "likes" except for those hairy strawberries. They give me the heebie-jeebies.
I love potatoes, peas and beans! What's wrong with you, girl? All those starches.......yum. I do have to agree that there is nothing as good as fresh corn on the cob with lots of butter and salt! And I do love Mexican food, but hate the way I smell for the rest of the day after going to the restaurant.
