Homemade Yuzu Kosho (Citrus Chili Paste) step by step
- Wash the yuzu skin well and zest with a microplane or zester. You can also use a knife to carefully slice off the peel, then cut into small pieces. Try not to get any of the white part underneath the skin as it's a bit bitter..
- Chop up the green chilis and add all ingredients to a mortar & pestle (Japanese suribachi if you have it) or a small food processor. Using a mortar & pestle will bring out the fragrance and flavor of the citrus a bit better..
- Grind or process until you have a yellow-ish green paste..
- Scrap into a glass jar (don't use plastic or metal because the yuzu kosho could pick up unwanted flavors)..
- Cover with a bit of plastic wrap and put on the lid. Store in the fridge for several months. It's quite salty and spicy so you only need to use a little at a time!.
