Wasabi Pepper Sauce

This recipe is from Nobu and you can find it in, Nobu, the cookbook.
You can also find this recipe at epicurious.com.

Ingredients

3 TBs of powdered wasabi
2 TBs and 1 tsp water
2 TBs of soy sauce
2 TBs of low sodium soy sauce
8 TBs of Dashi

Preparation

Dissolve the powdered wasabi in the water and combine with the other ingrediencts. Powdered wasabi tends to settle so mix again before serving.

NOTES

The recipe, as is, is crazy hot. It would have been too much for many of guests so I toned it down to 1 1/2 TBs of wasabi powered and added 1 additional TBs of Dashi.
