Wink Hot Roasted Green Peas

I ran across a neat snack product from Japan which, believe it or not, are wasabi covered roasted green peas. These suckers are great. They are even addictive. Their slogan on the package is "A Happy Present from the Earth." However, they are quite pricey...$1.79 for 4.23 oz. What I would like to know is if anybody has any idea how to make these things at home and less expensively. Wonder if you could get away with using frozen green peas?????

Too funny! I really did laugh out loud. I guess this means you can't be of any real help with this, huh?

That's actually a pretty good price for those...little balls of msg wasabi and what have you....the best price I've found is at Uwajimaya..which is about what you paid...at gourmet shops they're about $2.50...and the bags are pretty small.

Did you get the peas from an Asian food store? My Hawaiian friends in college had those, and they were pretty easy to find in any asian food store that I have been to. Right next to the milk candy.

I read in a Japanese newspaper that researchers have discovered that wasabi has anti-bacterial properties. They speculated that it would make a good addition to toothpaste.

Wasabi-flavored toothpaste! Bring it on!

Wasabi Peas Recipe

Roasted Peas

3 cups dried, whole peas
1 1/2 cup mirepoix (diced celery, carrots and white onion)
3 tbsp olive oil
spices to taste

Soak your beans overnight, rinse, drain and cook in fresh water with the onion and celery until tender (times vary depending on the bean used). When they are finished cooking, you should have approximately 6 cups of beans.

Coat a cookie sheet with the olive oil, add the cooked beans and toss them in the oil until they are well-coated.

Slow-roast in a 200 degree (F) oven for 4-8 hours, stirring every 1/2 hour or so. Remove from the oven and toss with the salt and spices.

For the wasabi coating, mix:

4 teaspoons wasabi powder
2 tablespoons tahini (sesame paste)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Coat hot roasted peas in the paste and return to oven for 10 minutes, or until the aroma becomes very powerful.

You may need to double or tripple the seasoning recipe (i use it for another purpose), or simply experiment using the proportions.

Yawn

Thanks CC and Cchiu, I will give your recipes a try and let you know how they turn out.

CampChef: If you have any success in your methodology, I would like to know.

Yes, I bought mine at Uwajimaya.

Wasabi Toothpaste? My, that would take your breath away, wouldn't it?

What in the world are these "roasted green peas"? I don't think I have ever heard of peas referred to with that name. What do they taste like?
