Ingredients:
1 lb fiddleheads, ferns washed and cleaned, see below note
3/4-1 teaspoon wasabi paste
3 teaspoons water
1/2 teaspoon sugar
4 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
salt and pepper, as desired
Directions:
* To Clean: In a large bowl in the sink, rinse the fiddleheads under water and dislodge the brown scales; drain and repeat. Trim the ends off the ferns (last piece on the coils).
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the cleaned fiddleheads and cook for about 10-12 minutes or until they are tender; drain and set cooked fiddleheads aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together wasabi paste, water, sugar and soy sauce.
Transfer the cooked fiddleheads to a bowl and pour the sauce over them. Toss gently to coat and serve hot or at room temperature.
