Coating for roasted peas (6)

I believe the answer is:

wasabi

(Other definitions for wasabi that I've seen before include "Pungent green root used in Japanese cookery" , "Pungent green root, used in Japanese cooking" , "Hot Japanese paste" , "Strong-tasting Japanese paste" , "Japanese horseradish" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
