Cusabi?
I went to lunch today, one of the appetizers was a surprise
to me, fried pickles. Tempura coated. I didn't order them, but I noticed they came with cusabi dipping sauce. Just curious what that is. I'm thinking cumin/wasabi. No doubt El Wrongo. nancy |

Interesting - I haven't heard of it either. I did a quick search and got lots of hits but most seemed to be menus which said such-and-such a dish with cusabi sauce without saying what it was. I'll be curious to hear what it is. In the meantime, here was a brief discussion of fried pickles: http://www.allyourbase-arebelongto.us/node/129 Pretty bare bones. |

I saw a small number of posts on Chowhound which suggested that it involves a combination of cucumber and wasabi. Several posters said that Hidden Valley makes a cusabi ranch, but I can't remember ever seeing it. These posts were from 4 to 5 years ago. |

Funny. I was in a pub type place, too. You know they all copy from each other. Thanks. nancy |

I did think cucumber (not that many food items come to mind that start with cu), but I guess the sabi part kept me on the spicy train of thought. Then the link you posted said the stuff was cooling. Thanks, Kevin. nancy |

Do you think it would go well with dead squirrel? I think I have one in my dryer workings. It's been one of those days with things going wrong, that just capped it. nancy |

I did google, but I googled define cusabi, just got references to it. Should have googled more. I figured everyone else would know what it was if I asked. nancy |

I've had fried pickles at lots of places. Both the coins and the spears. (I prefer the coins; with the spears, the coating seems to pull off in one piece when you bite into each spear. Plus, you get more coating per pickle ratio with the coins.) Good stuff, especially when paired with a BBQ ranch or chipotle ranch dipping sauce. This is the first time I've heard of cusabi, though... Mary |

I'm thinking cumin/wasabi. > No doubt El Wrongo. > > nancy These 2 recipes came up on a google search for "recipe for cusabi sauce" Cucumber Wasabi Vinaigrette 1/2 cucumber 1 Tbsp. wasabi 1/4 cup light soy 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar 1/2 cup canola oil 1/4 cup sesame oil Mix together with a hand blender (or blender) the cucumber, wasabi, light soy, rice wine vinegar, canola oil and sesame oil. From: http://www.louisianaseafood.com/recipes-fish-tuna.html ===== Cucumber, Wasabi and Ginger Salsa Dip 1/2 Cucumber, peeled, de-seeded and diced 1 thumb-sized lump of Stem Ginger, finely chopped or grated The juice of 1/2 a Lemon 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce 1/2 teaspoon Wasabi Paste (more or less to taste) 2 teaspoons runny Honey 2 Spring Onions, finely sliced 1/2 cup (160ml) Greek Yoghurt (optional) Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, adjusting the wasabi to taste. This dip is supposed to be like a chunky salsa but it's equally as good with the Greek yoghurt if you like your dips to be a bit stickier.
