WASABI
You can prepare "hotter" wasabi from powder if you make Wasabi by yourself.
1.
First put a glass of water in the freezer to get it very cold, this is
very important!
2.
Then put the powder in a teacup and pour in this chilled water a little at a
time until
it got the correct consistency of wasabi (thick paste, not runny).
3.
Then, put the teacup upside down on a saucer for about a half-hour. The fumes stay
in and the wasabi will become very hot if you do this right.
GARI (pickled ginger)
250 g ginger root
90 ml rice vinegar
4 tablespoons sake (rice wine) or dry sherry
5 teaspoons sugar
1.
Wash and scrub the ginger under running water as you would a
potato for baking. Blanch in boiling water for one minute and drain.
2.
Combine sake and sugar in a small pan. Bring to a boil, stirring until
the sugar has dissolved. Let it cool.
3.
Place the ginger into a jar and pour the cooled vinegar over it. Let
it marinate for a week before using it. The ginger will turn pink,
but you might want to add a small amount of red food coloring.
4.
Drained covered and refrigerated, gari, will keep for months. It is
sliced thin to be served with sushi.
