For a smoother sauce, consider using a high-quality Japanese wasabi paste instead of powder. Adjust the amount of jalapeno pepper to control the level of spiciness. For a milder sauce, remove the membranes from the jalapeno. This sauce pairs exceptionally well with grilled fish, sushi, vegetable crudités, or as a surprising dip for sweet potato fries.
