Everyone loves Wasabi Peanuts. These addictive, spicy bar snacks are usually of dubious provenance, nuclear green with artificial color and as pumped full of preservatives as King Tut’s mummy.

There is a better way.

They’re actually very simple to make at home and have a far spicier kick when fresh. I’ve added a hint of powdered green tea for extra color, flavor and healthfulness.

Try them and serve in a bowl, with a beer and in the company of good friends.
