I saw this in my husband's "Men's Fitness" magazine the other day and it sounds soooo good! I am going to try it. It is very lean at only 166cal per serving so you could even add some brown rice to the meal and it would still be low cal. I will add my 'review' of the meal, to this thread, after I have tried it. *crossing fingers* I hope it turns out and I don't burn it! :blushing: I am a big lover of wasabi, but if you are not a fan this may not be as appealing to you. Just thought I would share it.
Thanks

We have it at our local grocery story. It comes as a paste, more the consistency of a thick mustard rather than the block that you get in restaurants. It is usually in the aisle you would get asian foods and condiments (soy sauce etc.). My brother works in a grocery store so he gets it for me! If anything, just go to the store and ask someone that works there. It seems like wasabi is getting more popular so finding it should be easy. Good Luck, I hope you find some. I can't wait to try the recipe! Another thing, if you can't find wasabi you could probably substitute with regular creamy horseradish.0
