What's Yuzu Kosho?

Yuzu kosho is a Japanese paste made with fresh chilis fermented with yuzu and salt. It can be used as a condiment or an ingredient in a dish.

Green yuzu kosho, which is made with green chilis, is more common. It has a sharp, bright, grassy flavor with a tartness from the yuzu. Great paired with chicken, fish, and avocados.

Red yuzu kosho uses red chilis and has a smoother, saucier texture. It's less spicy than the green. However, the spice lingers longer in the mouth. Add it to a sauce for fish, pasta, or eggs.
