The Secret Ingredient (Wasabi): Wasabi-Battered Calamari with Wasabi Mayo

1/2 pound calamari tubes, sliced into 1/4-inch rings

1/2 cup flour

1 1/4 teaspoons wasabi powder

Salt

Vegetable oil for frying

Lime wedges

For the mayo:

1 egg yolk

1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

2 drops white wine vinegar

Pinch salt

5 tablespoons light olive oil

3 tablespoons wasabi oil

Note: You can easily make the Wasabi Mayonnaise hotter by changing the proportion of olive oil and wasabi oil. I purchased the wasabi oil at Whole Foods in the fish section.
