New Years: Korean Sauce for Hasu

Hasu, or lotus root is used in the Japanese household as part of the Osechi ryori. The lotus root, with its many holes symbolizes an unobstructed view of the future. It does not have a taste on its own, so we like to use Aunty Jeannete's Korean sauce.

Ingredients:

• green onion
• garlic
• oil
• Hawaiian chili pepper
• shoyu

Directions:

1. chop the first 3 ingredients until it is slimy
2. add the chili pepper (seeded)
3. add shoyu to taste
