SO HOW'D IT GO?
This was good but not the best hummus I ever made. The ingredient list appealed to me, having soy sauce and wasabi powder in it. I've been toying with the idea of an Asian-based hummus myself. Unfortunately these flavors were masked by too much cumin and I didn't even use the full amount. The recipe calls for 2 Tablespoons and that just sounded like too much to me so I cut it in half and it was still the dominant flavor along with the lime. I love the limeyness but I really wanted to taste that wasabi and I didn't so I added a little more and then a little more. The powder wasn't working so I added some wasabi paste. Perhaps my powder was old??
After all was said and done, I threw it back in the blender and added some tahini. I know there is no written rule that hummus must have tahini, but I like it that way.
