Karashi Mustard

May 21, 2009 by Benjamin and Koshiki 3 Comments

karashi

Warning: Mixing wasabi and karashi paste may cause an explosion. Only a joke of course, but I’ve gotten a few laughs out of that.

Karashi is a mixture of ground mustard seeds and horseradish – like wasabi- a little goes a long way.  So unlike European mustard, it’s not an emulsion based with vinegar.  It’s normally sold in a dried powder form (just add water), or as a paste in a tube.

Karashi paste is served as a condiment with dishes such as tonkatsu, steak and oden. It is also used in sauces based with miso, mayonaise and sometimes  in sunomono (things with vinegar) dressing.

      You should be able to find it at most Asian grocery stores. Of course, a Japanese grocery store would have it. If that’s not available look for Korean and or perhaps even a Chinese specialty grocery store. Of course you can find it online – http://www.amazon.com/Karashi-hot-mustard-tube-1-52/dp/B0002YEXWA
