This recipe is from a young fellow called Charl Leslie, who writes a weekly food column in a newspaper. It's a clever little recipe, and ideal to serve with deep-fried shrimps in batter, fish bites, or any vaguely Japanese style food. It absolutely MUST be made ahead, for the flavours to mingle. It'll last for at least a week in the fridge. Because tastes will differ, start with the smaller amount where a choice is given, and rather add more of the ingredient as you taste it.
Ingredients:
1 cup mayonnaise (250 ml, best quality)
2 -3 tablespoons pickled ginger, chopped (the pink japanese-style pickled ginger)
1 -2 tablespoon soy sauce (kikkoman preferred)
1 -2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 -2 tablespoon wasabi (can use powder or paste)
Directions:
1. Simply mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
2. Cover with plastic wrap, and leave in fridge for at least an hour, preferably a day, before using.
3. Try it with shrimps (prawns) in tempura batter. Delicious!
