Step 4: Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for later use.

Wasabi mayo combines the creaminess of mayonnaise with the sharp, sinus-clearing heat of wasabi. It has a flavor similar to horseradish or a hot mustard, with a bright, spicy bite.

It’s excellent drizzled on sushi rolls and sashimi or served as a dip. It also pairs well with sandwiches, tuna or salmon burgers, and can be blended into a quick salad dressing.

Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
