Yuzu Kosho

This vibrant homemade yuzu kosho is a punchy, fermented-style Japanese condiment that provides a concentrated burst of citrus and heat. While traditional recipes use fresh yuzu fruit, this clever version achieves a similar aromatic profile by combining lime, lemon and grapefruit zests with bottled yuzu juice. The addition of green Thai chilli provides a sharp, lingering spice that cuts through rich flavours beautifully.

As a versatile vegan seasoning, this bright green paste is an essential pantry staple for those who enjoy contemporary East Asian flavours. Use a small spoonful to elevate simple dressings, whisk it into dipping sauces, or serve alongside grilled vegetables and tofu. It requires two days of chilling to allow the salt to cure the zest, resulting in a complex, savoury finish that transforms any dish.
