Wasabi Almonds
1 egg white
1 tablespoon water
1 pound (3 cups) whole natural almonds
2 tablespoons wasabi powder
2 teaspoons coarse salt
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Line a sided baking sheet with greased foil or parchment paper. Whisk egg white and water together until foamy. Add almonds and toss to coat. Transfer to a sieve or small-holed colander and toss gently and let drain. Stir together wasabi powder, salt and cornstarch in a large bowl. Add almonds and toss to coat. Spread almonds on baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 30 minutes. Gently stir, reduce temperature to 200 degrees and continue baking for 20 minutes. Let cool completely before serving. Serve or store airtight for up to a week.
