Please note- there are Roasted Green Peas, and *Hot* Roasted Green Peas. I no like hot. posted by ThePinkSuperhero at 4:29 PM on November 30, 2005 [1 favorite]
Those sound like a version of wasabi peas without the wasabi. If I'm not mistaken. So, you could probably try one of these recipes up here, subtract the wasabi, and add the stuff in the ingredients you linked. This recipe seems to be good to start with. posted by koeselitz at 4:38 PM on November 30, 2005
Ahhhh, that's the thing- I didn't realize they were more generally called Wasabi peas. Thanks koeselitz! posted by ThePinkSuperhero at 4:58 PM on November 30, 2005 [1 favorite]
You can't subtract the wasabi! That's the good part! You could probably just use a milder wasabi... posted by johnsmith415 at 5:11 PM on November 30, 2005
I don't like anything spicy. At all. I'm like my grandfather. posted by ThePinkSuperhero at 5:15 PM on November 30, 2005 [1 favorite]
If I remember correctly, the peas are coated with a thin, almost sweet batter.
I imagine that they're dipped in the batter, and then deep fried. I'm wondering if a tempura batter would work. posted by spinifex23 at 5:37 PM on November 30, 2005
Curiously, the ones we get are called "Kasugai Peas & You", which I always try and sing when I offer them :) posted by quiet at 2:58 AM on December 1, 2005
Please note: if successful, you will obviously need to bring some to a meetup.
Also note: while no wasabi is listed in the ingredients on the linked page, the packaging photo sure makes it look like there's wasabi on each pea. Is the wasabi-looking stuff sweet in the non-hot variety? (I wonder if they use the same photo.) posted by nobody at 2:39 PM on December 1, 2005
