How to use in traditional Japanese dishes
Replace traditional soy sauce and wasabi paste by sprinkling wasabi kombu salt directly on sushi or sashimi. It enhances the flavour of fresh fish without overpowering it.
Wasabi salt is a popular alternative to tempura dipping sauce. A light dusting on crispy fried tempura adds a punch of flavour and colour without the need for liquid condiments.
Season grilled fish like salmon or mackerel, or meats such as yakitori (grilled chicken skewers). The salt adds depth, while the wasabi offers a refreshing, mild heat.
Sprinkle the salt over onigiri rice balls or mix it into the rice for a flavourful twist on this traditional Japanese snack.
Add a touch of this seasoning to cold noodle dishes like soba or udon to enhance the flavour of the dipping sauces or broths.
Adding a twist to western cuisine
Add a gourmet twist to grilled steak or roast beef dishes by sprinkling wasabi kombu salt over them. The umami from the kombu complements the richness of the meat, while the wasabi adds a subtle heat.
Sprinkle on french fries, crisps or popcorn for a delicious, spicy-salty snack that elevates simple foods to a new level of taste.
Wasabi kombu salt works wonderfully as a garnish for scrambled eggs, omelettes, or hard boiled eggs, giving a sophisticated flavour boost.
Keep dry, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
