Red Yuzukosho (Yuzu Pepper)
An old colleague of mine shared this yuzukosho recipe with me many years ago, and I've been making it at home ever since. Recently, I've been seeing a lot of green yuzukosho products, so I gave one of them a try, but I found that it wasn't spicy enough. We're sticking with this tried and true recipe this year as well.
We keep ours frozen, so the amount of salt added is on the lighter side. If you're not planning on freezing your yuzukosho, feel free to add more. It's delicious as an addition to hot pot soup bases, as well as in miso soups. Try to use the most fragrant yuzu citruses available. Green yuzukosho tends to be spicier; if you're looking to prepare some at home, don't refer to these ingredient ratios, you'll end up with a fire-hot condiment. Recipe by Keyua

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare your golden yuzu citrus and chili pepper powder. The pepper I bought came in little 12 g bags.
- 2
Wash the yuzu well and dry them off thoroughly. Grate the yellow portion of the peel but omit the pith.
- 3
Mix in chilli pepper powder to your ground yuzu from Step 2. Add salt to taste. Spoon in a bit of the yuzu juice, and mix well into a paste.
- 4
Flatten out the yuzukosho on sheets of plastic cling wrap or bottle in jars to store in the freezer. It won't harden solid.
- 5
As for the leftover yuzu juice, use it to make ponzu vinegar sauces, or store it in the freezer in a tupperware container. Make store-bought ponzu sauce more aromatic by adding a dash. Simply slice away the amount needed with a knife when preparing other dishes.

Homemade Yuzu Kosho (Citrus Chili Paste) Homemade Yuzu Kosho (Citrus Chili Paste)
Yuzu kosho is a spicy (and salty) Japanese condiment made with zest from yuzu citrus and hot green chilis. Usually green yuzu is used but in this case I used the yellow kind. It's amazing with grilled chicken and fish, and steam veggies like daikon radish. You can substitute meyer lemon or other fragrant citrus for yuzu, and red chilis for green (though the color will change). If you have a microplane, it makes zesting super easy! This recipe makes a couple tablespoons (you only need a little bit at a time) and keeps for a few months in the fridge.I recommend using organic, non-waxed citrus or citrus from a friend's tree since you're using the skin.

Yuzu Marmalade Yuzu Marmalade
I made this jam because I was given a lot of yuzu as a gift.I recommend not making too much. (It's hard to make and store a large amount.) Make sure that you taste it, and if it's sour, increase the sugar to your liking. It hardens when cooled, so turn off the heat when it's still a little bit runny. The key is not to simmer for too long. Recipe by Mangetsu152000. -
Yuzu Flavored Daikon Radish Yuzu Flavored Daikon Radish
We have a big yuzu tree in our farm, and we also grow daikon radish - so I wanted to make some yuzu-daikon. I used the yuzu-daikon sold in stores as a reference point and went through several trials before creating this recipe.The amount of salt is determined by the weight of the daikon radish, so please be sure to weigh out 1 kg. (You can weigh it unpeeled.) I recommend you use coarsely ground salt.Make sure to take off the bitter white pith from the yuzu peel before cutting it into a fine julienne. Recipe by FarmersK -
Yuzu Inarizushi Yuzu Inarizushi
I saw yuzu inari in a shop, but they stopped selling it before I could buy it. I really wanted to try it, so I imagined what it would taste like and came up with this.If you don't have yuzu jam, you can use the skin of yuzu citrus fruits! Adjust the amount of jam and sugar to your taste. You can use leftover rice, just warm it in the microwave! Follow the instructions of the sushi vinegar you are using and mix in the suggested amount. The abura-age has a strong taste, so it's better for the rice to have a light taste. It's nice if the rice is on the hard side. Recipe by chieko333 -
Yuzu Marmalade Yuzu Marmalade
Enjoy the vitamin C of yuzu! You can take in the whole healthy goodness of yuzu in this marmalade. I was shocked to learn that most of the yuzu jam sold in stores is imported.Change the water several times in step 4. In step 5, just add enough waer to cover, since more moisture will come out of the fruit as it cooks. The seeds have lots of pectin which will gel the marmalade, so simmer it with the fruit. Yuzu peel is tough, and it will become softer if you simmer it without sugar at first. Recipe by commeline -
