What is mentaiko I hear you ask? Well, its marinated Pollock roe to the unitiated…
…but this isn’t any mentaiko, its karashi mentaiko or spicy fish eggs!
In case you’re not sure, the mentaiko is the orangey/brown balls on the outside of the fish. Of course the bowl of rice was courtesy of the dear old Cook Japan rice cooker, but what a wonderful combination for a quick easy healthy lunch…
The sardines have been cooked have a sweet soy sauce taste from their own marinade, which combined with the slightly spicy marinated mentaiko is a great fusion of flavour and texture. With a steaming bowl of fresh rice its a real treat along with a piping hot bowl of miso soup and a side of homemade gobo (burdock) salad…
