Yuzu Kosho is a Japanese citrus condiment paste that is made by combining fragrant yuzu zest and the spiciness of chili peppers. It’s not rare to find yuzu kosho that has been fermented for a few days as this fermentation process will deepen the flavor and making it a lot more delicious.
Although it’s great to use yuzu kosho just as a side condiment, the flavorful paste is also amazing when incorporated into a dish. A little amount of yuzu kosho can bring out the best taste profile of your sauce. Even a condiment as simple as mayonnaise can be elevated just by adding a bit of yuzu kosho.
