Often overlooked outside of Japan, the wasabi stem has a flavour somewhere between mustard greens, radish and watercress, with a gentle heat that develops as you chew. In this Flash Fried Wasabi Stems recipe, the fresh stems are quickly stir fried over intense heat with garlic, ginger and chillies, then finished with oyster sauce, soy and a touch of sugar for balance. The result is a vibrant, crunchy green dish packed with aroma, natural sweetness and a lingering wasabi heat.
