I haven’t tried making wasabi peas myself yet, but I will. I got this recipe from the Wasabi Pea Appreciation Society on Facebook. I just love that fact that there is such a thing as an appreciation society for the little green darlings! From the society’s statement - it is “For those who mark their lives as B.P. (Before Pea) and A.P. (After Pea)”. Very funny!

I have a review on different types of wasabi Peas coming up soon, just need one more picture of my favorite bought peas but in the mean time, here is a recipe for how to make them at home:

(by Linda Furiya of the San Francisco Chronicle)

Makes: About 4 cups

Ingredients

Wasabi Coating

Instructions
Soak the peas in water to cover overnight.

Preheat the oven to 200°. Drain the peas, then cook them according to instructions on the package. Mix the olive oil with the cooked peas until well coated.

Oil a baking sheet and spread the peas evenly across it. Place in the oven and bake for 5 hours, until the peas appear dry and are crisp when bitten into.

Combine the wasabi powder, tahini, rice vinegar and mustard in a mixing bowl.

Combine the wasabi mixture with the hot peas making sure that all the peas are evenly coated.

Using a rubber spatula, spread the peas on the baking sheet, separating as many as you can. Increase the oven temperature to 250°. Bake the peas for 10 to 15 minutes, until the coating is dry.

If you already made this - tell us how it turns out!I will when I do too.
