Wasabi Peanuts Recipes

WASABI GREEN PEAS

Steps:

• Soak the dried peas overnight, then rinse and drain. Place peas in a large pot with enough water to cover by a couple of inches. Add the Mirepoix, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Coat a large cookie sheet with olive oil. It helps to use a cookie sheet with sides to keep them from rolling off.
• Drain the peas, and transfer to the cookie sheet. Roll them around in the oil by tilting the pan, or stir with your hand. Bake for 4 to 8 hours in the preheated oven, stirring every 30 minutes or so, until peas are dry. Remove from oven, and season with salt, onion salt, and garlic powder.
• While the peas are roasting, mix together the wasabi powder, tahini, rice vinegar, and Dijon mustard in a large bowl. When the peas are ready, pour them into the bowl, and stir to coat with the wasabi mixture. Pour them back onto the cookie sheet in a single layer, and return to the oven.
• Bake for another 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the aroma becomes very strong, and the coating is dry.

WASABI PEANUTS

Steps:

• Preheat a convection oven to 150°C (approximately 300°F).
• Beat the egg whites with the salt until semi-stiff. Gradually incorporate the wasbai powder and the cornstarch. Mix in the wasabi paste, and stir until combined. Add the nuts, mix with a fork, then spread onto an oilied baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes, until crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool.

WASABI-COATED PEANUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 150°C (approximately 300°F).

• Beat egg whites and Wasabi powder together. Stir in Wasabi paste. Fold in peanuts. Place coated peanuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake until dry about 40 to 50 minutes.

• Transfer to a sieve and toss gently and let drain.
• Stir together wasabi powder, salt, and cornstarch in a large bowl.
• Add peanuts and toss to coat with the wasabi mixture.
