You will not need the water if using creamed horseradish.* *Wasabi is a Japanese variety of green horseradish, more fiery than white horseradish. It always accompanies sushi. If you find wasabi powder, just combine the powder and warm water to make a paste, or add warm cream. This is not a Chinese recipe but it's fantastic!
