Ingredients

• 3 medium-sized pieces Fresh jalapenos
• 2 tablespoons Wasabi paste
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
• 1 small piece Garlic clove
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon Water (optional for thinning)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and deseed the jalapenos, then roughly chop them into small pieces. Wear gloves to avoid the chili oils irritating your hands.

Step 2

Peel and mince the garlic clove.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a small pan over medium heat. Sauté the chopped jalapenos and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes, just until they soften and release their aroma. Remove from heat and allow them to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a blender or food processor, combine the sautéed jalapenos and garlic, wasabi paste, mayonnaise, lime juice, honey, and salt.

Step 5

Blend the ingredients on high until smooth and creamy. If the sauce seems too thick, add water 1 teaspoon at a time and blend until you reach your desired consistency.

Step 6

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lime juice for acidity, more honey for sweetness, or more wasabi for an extra kick.

Step 7

Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Serve the Wasabi Jalapeno Sauce as a dip, spread, or drizzle over your favorite dishes. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
