Horseradish will do! But if you don’t like wasabi, you might really wanna try this recipe! You won’t taste the spiciness or anything, it just add the flavor since wasabi’s cooked in the dish!

It won’t let me rate this at all let alone the 5 stars it deserves.

I’ve made this dish at least half a dozen times and it is a family favorite. Tasting the sauce after it is mixed together will lead a person to believe that this is a spicy dish since the sauce contains quite a bit of wasabi. But, once it is cooked with all the other ingredients the heat just disappears leaving only the wonderful flavor behind.

I prefer to make it with chicken breast meat that I silken for stir-frying. I season it with soy sauce, saki and a bit of salt and let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

This is one of the best recipes to keep on hand.

Thank you so much for the feedback! I’m so glad I could help out! Also that has been a common problem with my website recently and we are working on a fix sorry about that.

My boyfriend made this over the weekend, and it was delicious! He followed the recipe exact. I would add more green onion to it, and if you like spicy definitely a little more wasabi.

This is in regular dinner rotation in our home. It is just so delicious and not spicy at all. Soy and Wasabi is a flavor combo that seems so classic. I usually make it with chicken and I velvet the chicken before stir frying it.

This was amazing and so simple. Not spicy at all while still enjoying the flavour of the wasabi.
