JAPANESE WASABI MARINADE
A nice tangy marinade, great for chops, steaks, swordfish, tempeh, and tuna fillets. I did want to mention to anyone interested that when you add vinegar to things like horseradish (powdered "wasabi"), or dried mustard powder that it takes away much of the bite. If you want the heat of wasabi paste that you are used to with sushi, then serve the fish with wasabi paste, thinned with water.

Steps:
- Mix together wasabi, mustard and sake until dry ingredients dissolve; add rest of ingredients, mixing well.
- Add marinade to fish or meat, covering all sides, in a ziploc plastic bag, removing as much air as possible (this reduces need for a lot of turning).
- Marinate food for several hours.
- Note: The pungency of the mustard and wasabi is reduced in this marinade. It happens whenever you combine any vinegar/sugar with these powders, as one does with prepared mustard. If you want a "sinus-clearing" effect, make a thick paste of either mustard or wasabi with just a small amount of water, and rub onto food within 30 minutes of eating. I recommend English mustard, as it is the hottest type. Coleman's is a good brand.

- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ingredients that can be used in a Japanese marinade. Try different combinations to find one that you like.
- Be patient. Marinating meat or fish takes time. Allow the marinade to work its magic for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Use a covered container. This will help to keep the marinade from evaporating and will also prevent bacteria from growing.
- Turn the meat or fish occasionally. This will help to ensure that the marinade is evenly distributed.
- Discard the marinade after use. Do not reuse it, as it may contain harmful bacteria.
