Wasabi Mayonnaise from TJ's

I bought a jar of Wasabi Mayo from Trader Joe's today. They were demo-ing as hard cooked egg filling (deviled eggs). Other than using on wraps or as a sandwich spread, I don't know what else to do with it. Anyone have a great recipe using this product? It has an interesting flavor, but I am not sure what to do with it. Suggestions, please?

Good stuff! I like the deviled egg idea. That would be good.

I've had wasabi cole slaw. Wasabi is very compatible with cole slaw.

Have you noticed that mayonnaise is becoming faddish in Japan? At least it seems so to me. Lately I am seeing mayo used in sushi and other Japanese dishes. I can't say that appeals much to me.

Oooh, that sounds like it would make a very interesting variation on potato salad or a chicken salad...or for dipping asparagus.

I think it would be lovely in Chinese honey walnut prawns. I don't have my own recipe written down for this dish, as I just make it, but I found this one which sounds about right, and it comes from a website I've learned to trust for recipes.

It would be quite tasty in sandwiches as well, as a substitute for regular mayo.

I live near 2 TJ's and one is right by my Weight Watcher's meeting so I go often but don't get a lot of things there. I have access to so many ethnic markets here that Tj's isn't always my favorite place to shop except for a few staples with great prices.I don't buy that many things there and several of them are frozen so they won't ship. Wish a few more people would post on this one! Their fresh flowers can really be a good deal and I can't live w/o their olive oil spray. Always have 2 cans for backup. Their Belguim choclotae is a pantry staple for me as are their pine nuts, best price. (I keep them in the freezer.) I can't find the vanilla bean paste there anymore, sigh. Bought some at the grocery at a much higher price.

Sharon, I did use the recipe and method in Charcuterie. I found that the last step, which is steaming the pastrami for a couple of hours, really helps cut the saltiness, the first batch I sliced and froze, and didn't steam. It was far too salty. David, Elery has a MasterBuilt electric smoker. It's in my garage, so he uses it year round. My garage is not heated, and the electronic display doesn't like it when it's under 35F or so, so we have to remove it, take it inside and warm it up, then put it back on. Thankfully, it's easy to do. We smoked the pastrami over cherry wood, the last one we did with apple. Why did we choose those types? Because I pruned the apple and cherry trees last spring and that's what we had. I think Jessica was referring to the deli because of my reference to pastrami... Annie

Okonomiyaki - simplified recipe

In case anyone is interested in making this after the table quiz, here is the recipe again. I misspelled Tenkasu in the first part of my post, but it is spelled correctly in the recipe part. Anyway, you can substitute Rice Krispies for it if you cannot find it, but it does help the texture of the final product. I should have adjusted my recipe to include 1/8 cup more flour, but if you make this, you simply have to add enough flour to make the batter thick enough so that it will not be too runny. If the batter is too thin, the pancakes will spread out too much and be very difficult to flip. I do not use bacon in mine (as a rule), but it is a nice addition, if you like it. Also, you do need a fairly large turner for these, or else you can just make them smaller. I use what I think is a cake lifter, but I bought it specifically for okonomiyaki. The name means "as you like it" and so there are many variations, and you can vary the recipe to suit your taste. I find this dish to be a very welcome addition to my breakfast menu.

I'd like it on a ham sandwich or a hamburger! Sounds so good I may just mix some wasabi powder with some mayo!

Rachelellen - that recipe for the Honey Walnut Prawns looks delicious - thank you! Good idea to dip asparagus -
Coleslaw, another good idea! I have a great recipe for coleslaw using creole mustard; I'll have to find it and substitute the wasabi mayo. Thanks Jim!
