Yuzu Kosho, Spicy Japanese Yuzu Pepper Paste | Hot Sauce with Yuzu Citrus (Green, 3 Pack)

Description

  • size of 2.82 oz

Green Yuzu Kosho (Ao Kosho) is an exceptional - and exceptionally spicy - Japanese condiment that makes a lasting impression.



With a slightly coarse texture, similar to pesto, Yuzu Kosho leaves a distinctly sour/salty/spicy flavor lingering on the palate.



A specialty of the cuisine of Kyushu, a region in southeastern Japan, Yuzu Kosho is made from three ingredients only: yuzu, a prized and very tart Japanese citrus fruit, chile peppers and salt.



Yuzu Kosho comes in two varieties: Red Yuzu Kosho (Aka Kosho), made with red chiles, yuzu zest & salt, and Green Yuzu Kosho (Ao Kosho), made with green chiles, yuzu zest & salt.



How To Use Yuzu Kosho:

Yuzu kosho makes an excellent condiment, used sparingly straight from the jar. Add flavor and heat to Asian dishes like tofu, noodles, sashimi, sushi, dipping sauces, hot-pots and stir frys.



But Yuzu Kosho is not just for Asian-style dishes. Use Yuzu Kosho as a rub on pork, beef or fish. Add a dash to marinades, salad dressings, soups and sauces. Incredible with poultry - add it to your favorite Buffalo wings recipe for a powerful punch of spicy-citrusy flavor!
