Description
Wasabi leaf stalks are the long, thin stalks between the rhizome (the ‘rhizome’ from which wasabi paste is made) and the leaves of the wasabi plant (Wasabia japonica). Naturally, this plant grows in swampy areas in Japan. These fresh wasabi leaf stalks are grown with care in our own greenhouses in the Netherlands, where we create the ideal conditions. The petioles are a wonderful example of the versatility and quality that the wasabi plant has to offer.
Flavor Profile
The leaf stalks have a fresh, mildly tangy wasabi flavor with a subtle spiciness, without the sharp heat of the rhizome. Raw, they offer a crunchy bite with notes reminiscent of radish and spring onion.
Application
Traditionally, the leaf stalks are pickled in the famous ‘wasabi pickle’ (wasabi zuke - 山葵漬け) with pieces of rhizome, sake-lees (sake kasu - 酒粕), salt, sugar and mirin. In addition, wasabi leaf stalks are surprisingly versatile in use. Slice them thin, like spring onions, and combine with a Japanese ponzu (also available in our assortment) for a fresh, citrusy salad. They add extra zest to stews and casseroles, do great in stir-fries, and can even serve as an edible decoration in cocktails! Use the stems raw to retain the crunch, or lay them in to deepen the flavor. Also wonderful as a garnish, such as with sushi, noodle dishes or meat and fish dishes.
