Step 1
Start by pouring boiling water over the grits in a bowl and give it a good stir to combine. Once the grits have started to soften, mix in the wasabi sauce along with a pinch of salt and some freshly cracked pepper. Keep stirring until everything is well blended and the grits reach a creamy consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, then serve warm and enjoy the little kick from the wasabi.

How to serve
Pair these grits with seared seafood like scallops or shrimp for a beautiful contrast. They also work well as a side to grilled vegetables or roasted chicken. Garnish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of soy sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of milk or water to restore creaminess. Avoid microwaving without stirring, as it can cause uneven heating.
