Vegetable
Flesh
Wasabi flesh is the edible interior once peel, shell, or tough outer layers are dealt with. Cut, mash, or purée according to firmness and the dish. Work with a sharp knife on a stable board; manage juices so salads and sauces do not water down. Season lightly first so you taste the ingredient, then build fat, acid, and salt.
