I have a very low tolerance for hot and spicy food. I don’t add hot sauce to my food nor do I add it to the food I cook. The most I use is a teeny bit of red pepper flakes I sometimes add to pasta for a slight kick. I definitely don’t put wasabi in my soy sauce when I eat sushi.
Last May when we were in Perth, Chris bought a small container of wasabi peanuts. I tried a piece and almost immediately regretted it. When my tongue calmed down I found myself reaching for another piece and another. It was strangely exhilarating to eat wasabi peanuts. Thus began my search for the same wasabi peanuts. I searched in Perth and Singapore to no avail. All they had were wasabi peas.
I didn’t expect to find it in my own backyard – Unimart. Although these are cashews they taste exactly like the wasabi peanuts Chris bought in Perth. Dan-D-Pak wasabi cashews are made in Vietnam then exported to Canada then imported into the Philippines. With that long journey the cost of P379.95 for a 16 oz/454 g jar is not too bad.

These cashews have a thin crunchy outer layer and have a fine dusting of wasabi flavored powder. Eating these cashews are like play Russian roulette. Some cashews are mild while some are so hot I can feel the heat coming out of my nose! I never feel the heat in my throat just in my nose. The good thing about these is you can’t eat too much. Well I can’t. So it makes a good snack for me.
