We have used this recipe many, many times and always receive rave reviews. We smile a lot but always give credit where credit is due (AB. We add a lot of pickled ginger and use low sodium soy too with no adverse effects. This is a great recipe and is the best way to sear it correctly. Thanks Alton!

A very good recipe. Only modifications are to add 1 glove of minced garlic and about 1-2 tbsp of ground fresh ginger with a squeeze of lime juice. I agree with earlier posts that you need to make wasabi into paste prior to mixing with other ingredients.
