Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Wasabi paste
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Let the unsalted butter come to room temperature until it is soft and easily spreadable, approximately 30 minutes.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, wasabi paste, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, and salt.
Using a fork or spatula, thoroughly mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and you have a smooth, uniform mixture.
Place a sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper on a flat surface.
Spoon the wasabi butter onto the center of the sheet, shaping it into a rough log.
Wrap the butter tightly by rolling it in the plastic wrap or parchment paper, twisting the ends to seal.
Refrigerate the wasabi butter until firm, about 1 hour, or freeze for extended storage.
Slice and use as desired to top grilled steaks, roasted vegetables, seared seafood, or crusty bread.
