Wasabi Peanuts - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 egg white
    1 tablespoon water
    1 lb whole peanuts, shelled (about 3 cups)
    2 tablespoons wasabi powder (not the paste)
    2 teaspoons salt
    2 teaspoons cornstarch
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 275.
    Line a baking sheet with greased foil or parchment paper. (I skipped this step, and I baked mine in a glass baking dish without foil or parchment paper).
    Whisk egg white and water together until foamy.
    Add peanuts and toss to coat with the egg-water mixture.
    Transfer to a sieve and toss gently and let drain.
    Stir together wasabi powder, salt, and cornstarch in a large bowl.
    Add peanuts and toss to coat with the wasabi mixture.
    Spread peanuts on a single baking sheet in a single layer and bake 30 minutes.
    Gently stir, and reduce temperature to 200 F and continue baking 20 more minutes.
