Wasabi 'like' veggie

| I was watching TV while having my car fixed and there was a gardening show with a story on Asian greens. I don’t remember the veg name but they said the root was similar to wasabi. Anybody have any ideas? |

| Kkfromnj, perhaps grated Daikon was the substitute for wasabi that was commented on. I believe that wasabi is a Japanese horseradish. The western horseradish is often substituted. Daikon is a radish. Steve |

| Thanks for the reply, yeah, wasabi is a Japanese horseradish, I looked at some pics of Daikon and I’m pretty sure its not what they were describing on the gardening show which only showed the leaves, none of the roots. The good news is my local Shoprite has a new product this week, Wasabi Sauce with ginger, really very good but of course there is no wasabi listed among the ingredients. Its one of the best "make believe" wasabi I’ve tasted. |
