Yuzu Kosho, also known as the citrus chili paste condiment of Japan, can be a nice addition to any cooking. Since it’s made with yuzu zest, the spiciness of the chili will be perfectly balanced with the pleasant sourness of the citrus fruit.
Due to the sharp and appetizing taste, yuzu kosho can be transformed into a tasty vinaigrette or salad dressing, even with just a little amount. Enjoy the burst of umami in this beloved appetizer dish!
