A pungent and spicy tasting condiment made from horseradish root that is served as a sauce for meat, a topping for appetizers, or as a dressing for sandwiches providing a distinctively hot flavor. Mustard oil is commonly added to processed horseradish to stabilize the pungency of the horseradish as well as intensify the spicy hot flavor. Wasabi is the Japanese version of horseradish, which is served with Asian dishes such as sushi and sashimi.
