Staying in Japan since one and half years; we found new flavour and fall in love too. As we enjoyed ‘Nihon Ryori (Japanese food)’, fruits and vegetables available here, Wasabi leaf is one of them.

The leaf stem is less pungent in taste than wasabi rhizome; cooking in butter makes flavourful and delicious too.

Wasabi leaf stem: 1 bunch (~150 gm)
Cumin: ¼ teaspoon
Coriander powder: ½ teaspoon
Chilli powder: ¼ teaspoon
Turmeric powder: 1 pinch
Cumin powder: ½ teaspoon
Salt: ¼ teaspoon (as per taste)
Butter: 1 tablespoon
Cooking oil: 1 teaspoon

Preparation:

Cut wasabi leaf stem into 1 inch pieces, keep aside.

Method:
