    In Japan, wasabi was originally used for its antibacterial properties. Before refrigerators came along, it was essential in preserving fish, and also popularly used in medicine as a digestive and antiseptic. It was only by the Edo period [1603 to 1868] that it became an ingredient in food.

    I would still like to see you dry age a steak in miso paste. I think miso paste may have all the perfect ingredients for a properly dry-aged steak: the umami, a protective bacteria layer, a lack of sweetness, and a paste-like texture that's spreadable.

    I’ve seen so many videos of people reacting to eating spoonful of fake wasabi and gimmicky things like that, but Guga never disappoints. He knew to pay proper respect to the _real_ wasabi by inviting a sushi master chef so it’s done properly! Hats off to Guga and sushi master Hiro-san!!

    • @ayporos
      @ayporos Před 2 lety +31

      To be fair, the distinct strong flavor of real wasabi comes from a chemical reaction that occurs when you grind it.
      This chemical reaction dies down after a while though.. which is also why, when he applied the paste, the smell wasn't as strong anymore.
      This is also why wasabi has poor shelf life. You basically have to grind it right before consumption for maximum effect.
      So the easiest way to know whether you're dealing with real or fake wasabi is super simple:
      is it a stem you have to grind yourself? -> real
      does it come in any type of pot, tube or can? -> fake
      Because of this I also wonder how much the 'wasabi-ness' of the real wasabi had an effect on the dry-aging.. because roughly an hour after grinding all of the wasabi 'flavor' is gone from the paste.

      It's actually horseradish mixed with Chinese mustard powder and food coloring. Real wasabi tastes very close to that just more earthy.

    Real wasabi works for only about 30 minutes after grating. It's all due to quite intensive and short lived chemical reaction between wasabi's freshly destroyed cells and oxygen. That's what gives it that spicy taste which you can't preserve in any way.
    And that's why all the pre-packed wasabi pastes or powders are in fact a horse radish that's flavoured to taste like wasabi.

  • @steeveejoe
    @steeveejoe Před 9 měsíci +1

    I think the reason for why this turned out so well is due to 3 main aspects of allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), the compound that gives wasabi its pungency.
    1) Its antimicrobial properties helped prevent bacteria from building up during the dry age (which isn't a great concern anyways, but it's better than the sugar based experiments which facilitate microbial growth)
    2) It's relatively water soluble meaning that it was able to penetrate relatively deeply into the steak
    3) It compromises the integrity of membrane and protein structures making the meat even more tender
    4) It's enzyme disrupting behavior may be what causes the lasting flavor in your mouth as it might be inhibiting the effects of digestive enzymes in saliva

    The spicy flavor in Wasabi is created when the cell membranes are broken during the maceration process. It takes about 5 minutes to get the spice to really come out. It is also short lived. If you leave it too long the spice flavor will go away. I wonder if you would get the same effect using ground leaf and stem. It might be cheaper too.
