Question: Homemade Roasted Peas?

I love Kasugai Roasted Green Peas, and I would like to try making my own. Has anyone ever tried this, and if so, would you mind sharing the recipe?

The limited googling I've tried doesn't seem to be bringing up the sort of recipes I'm looking for.

Please note- there are Roasted Green Peas, and *Hot* Roasted Green Peas. I no like hot.

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.

Ahhhh, that's the thing- I didn't realize they were more generally called Wasabi peas. Thanks koeselitz!

You can't subtract the wasabi! That's the good part! You could probably just use a milder wasabi...

I don't like anything spicy. At all. I'm like my grandfather.

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.

Curiously, the ones we get are called "Kasugai Peas & You", which I always try and sing when I offer them :)

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.)

I was thinking that I would, nobody!
