Ginger Wasabi Mayonnaise

This is an easy mayonnaise-based  sauce with a difference. The kick of the wasabi and ginger works well with the creamy richness of the mayonnaise. You can use this in any recipe that calls for wasabi paste

• 4 tsp wasabi powder
• 1 1/2 tbsp fresh root ginger, peeled
• 1 cup good-quality   mayonnaise

1. Mix the wasabi powder with an equal amount of water to make a runny paste - add a little more water if necessary. 
2. Grate the ginger, then squeeze it between your fingers to extract about 2 teaspoons of juice.
3. Discard the pulp. 
4. Combine the wasabi, ginger juice and mayonnaise to make a pale green mixture 
5. Transfer to a squeezable plastic bottle and keep refrigerated. 
6. Use within a week.
