Nick's Spicy Japanese-style Mayonnaise

1 cup Real Mayonnaise

4 Tbs. lemon or lime juice
2 Tbs. soy sauce
1 Tbs. Wasabi powder
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper powder

Combine juice, sauce and powders in a small bowl. Mix into mayonnaise. Use
in any recipe that calls for mayonnaise, for an Asian touch. All the
cayenne does is brighten the wasabi and make it endure.

I use wasabi and sriracha.

Speaking of Japanese mayo - does anybody really like that Kewpie
mayo? I guess it's something you have to grow up with.

Is this what you find in a Spicy Tekka Maki? The spicy mayo I've seen used
in sushi is usually mayo, sriracha, and sesame oil.. or some other possible
hot sauce. I've never been able to nail down the exact flavor.

No, I don't particularly like it too much. However, I can make Kewpie
style mayo by mixing some dashi and bit of sugar - it's too creamy and
not enough air. It really makes sense that Japanese would add some
dashi (most familiar taste) when Kewpie was invented.

I don't know, Dan. I've experimented a lot with mayos. One of my favorites
is Aioli Garlic Mayonnaise. This Spicy Japanese-style Mayonnaise was
inspired by a couple of recipes I saw in "The Book of Japanese Cooking" by
Emi Kazuko and was the second iteration of it. I will try the Sriracha
sauce instead of cayenne in the next batch.

Maesri's sweet chili sauce (the stuff for chicken) is good mixed with
mayo. So is the Huy Fong garlic sambal. So is this Korean strawberry
chili paste stuff.....

Mayo is such amazing stuff. I was amazed how many different mayo
concoctions I've made and got saved. Still haven't been able ta make a good
Hollandaisse, but when the price of asparagus comes down, I'll be trying
Chefmagnus' recipe.

Fresh Kaffir lime leaves (Makrut) are going for $30.oo a pound! Want
seeds? Lemme know. How're they comin' Froglegs? Graeme?

Nick,

I tried half of them (Makrut) in some damp cotton wool for a week then
planted them out. Nothin' doing I'm afraid. The permafrost has thawed and I
can get a spade in the ground again, so I'll try the remainder again today.
The chillies are doing well.

I have a tree in the ground here, about a year old. Any tips on growing
a healthy kaffir lime tree?

I don't remember where I got this info, Nate. We don't have bugs or leaf
drop and we get fruit. Hope it helps.

The most common problems scale insects and leaf drop. Watch the plant
closely for scale, since it is easiest to control when it first appears. If
there are only a few, you can remove them with a sharp knife or fingernail,
or you can rub them with a Q-tip soaked in alcohol. If you have too many
insects to handle this way, spray the plant with an insecticidal soap at
5-day intervals, or alcohol spray (4 parts water to 3 parts rubbing
alcohol.) Any time you use an alcohol spray you should shade the plant for
the day.

Leaf drop is usually caused by wide fluctuations in temperature.

GENERAL CARE

Watering
When the soil is almost dry water the plants thoroughly, but never leave
the plant standing in water. A well drained soil is best for maintaining a
good moisture level. In winter, water just enough to keep the soil from
drying out completely.

Humidity
Plants can tolerate humidity in the summer, but prefer a low humidity in
winter.

Feeding
Use a high-nitrogen liquid fertilizer. Mix it 1/4 strength and feed the
plant weekly from mid-spring until late summer. Discontinue feedings in
winter. [We use time release pellets.]

Temperature
The summer maximum should be around 87F (30C) and the winter minimum should
be 40F(5C).

Thanks, I'll check the site out. Those conditions you list don't sound
like Bay Area weather. We get hot, dry summers and wet winters.

Growing them potted, indoors in the winter, is an option. Gotta keep 'em
pruned back. Leaves fer cookin', wood fer smoke.

I really do like the stuff- and I can asure you I didn't grow up with it.
(I was a Duke's and JFG baby...) What I dislike about Kewpie is the price-
and that by the time the stuff makes it to our local Asian market we have
to use it quickly as the expiration date is usually less than two months
away.
I'm glad to see other adding wasabi to their mayonnaise. My variation is
the lazy woman's- instead of using wasabi powder, I usually add the wasabi
paste ( the stuff in the tube) and soy sauce to the mayonnaise I've
spread on my

bread when making a sammich and mix it all together into a gloriously
