  • Yuzu Kosho is one of the most versatile and delicious condiments period. It's super easy to figure out how to make it, regardless of experience. And it can be used on a wide range of foods from sushi, to salads, to your morning fried eggs. It's also great on fruit if you're into the whole sweet and savory thing. Welcome back to Fermentation Friday Episode 3, hope you all enjoy! (Side note, I'm aware this is not hyper traditional and that it should mostly be chilies but aye, can't knock it till you try it.)

    This may be called "lemon-lime kosho".
    A "Yuzu kosho" is made from yuzu, but A "kabosu kosho" made from kabosu is also in Japan.
    "Kabosu" is Japanese citrus and is grown mainly in the Kyushu region of Japan.
    "Yuzu kosho" is also a specialty product of the Kyushu region.
    In Japan, there is a similar seasoning called "Kanzuri", that is a specialty of the Koshinetsu region.
    A "Kanzuri" is made of yuzu and pepper like "Yuzu kosho" but it is characterized by using kouji.
    Please try it if you have the opportunity.
    (A koji is a malted rice. It is known to be used for making fermented foods in Japan, including sake.)

    My husband obsesses with Yuzu. So I study the plant and was on a hunt for 1. I found a seller and bought a small yuzu plant for $100 from Facebook market place in Anaheim, CA last year. Plant was a 2 ft high twig. I thought it’s gonna take years for that tiny plant to fruit. I gave it a lot of love and attention. Lo and behold, the plant grew quickly and it’s giving me 13 healthy fruits this year. Dropped a few Green fruits off due to carrying too many fruits I guess. I tasted those green fruits and smelled the leafs to confirm what I bought was actual yuzu. I knew that moment I made the right investment. Most of the fruits are turning yellow now. Planning to pick it off soon!!!! I’m so using this recipe to make the best of it. And yuzu lemonade too! THANK YOU for your wonderful video!!! ❤

    Thank you so much for this. I have been using yuzu kosho in my home cooking for years and I spend a considerable amount of money on buying very good yuzu kosho made with umajimura yuzu. I don't know why I never considered making my own with lime and lemon, I just assumed I couldn't without access to fresh yuzu. I'm sure it isn't quite as good, but it is home made and nearly infinitely cheaper.

  • @twuuwttwu
    @twuuwttwu Před 4 lety

    That's interesting! i'm a chef myself (in paris) and we've been using a very good yuzu kosho from a japanese shop. So i decided to make my own. I also went with lime/lemon/orange as the citrus go. But the following steps were pretty different.
    I actually used a ratio of 65-70% green chili to 30-35% citrus zest. Blend all of this with 10% salt (same as you). Put it in a jar an let it on the shelf at room temp for about a week.
    When mine (from a recipe i found somewhere online) is mostly chili, yours is mostly zest.
    I also did one using the same technique with red chili and organic lemons from Corsica. This thing was incredibly fragrant, a great success!

      @@SaintHarless fair enough, it's a type of Japanese citrus :) it's often used in Japanese dishes such as ozoni (a traditional soup eaten at New Year's), ponzu (a dipping sauce for a lot of grilled meats), many others. I can't really describe the flavor very well but it's like a less acidic version of a lemon? And it's kind of got a nice, gentle floral flavor when added to sweets. I wish I could find fresh ones in the States but alas I haven't seen them anywhere (I assume it's because they don't grow well in the States). Hope that helps!

    I think it's a good idea to use a variety of citrus zest.
    But I think the garlic should be ground to suit the dish.
    (There's no garlic in the originally Yuzu kosho. But it looks good, so I'll make it next time lol)
    Also, the paste looks stiff. Maybe you could take the seeds out of the chilies.
    Does this recipe prioritize citrus notes and green color ?
    Yuzu kosho doesn't have to be green.
    Green Yuzu kosho is made of young yuzu (green yuzu) and young chili (green chili).
    If you can get yellow yuzu (ripe yuzu), red is better for the chili.
    The green yuzu kosho provides a refreshing aroma and piquancy, while the red yuzu kosho provides a mellow aroma and piquancy.
    If you don't get yuzu, but you get pure yuzu juice, why not use Meyer lemons?
    I think a mixture of Meyer lemon zest and a little yuzu juice would make it look quite authentic.
