If you have some leftover ‘Tarako’ OR ‘Mentaiko’ (Salted Pollock Roe) and looking for a way to use it up, try this super simple stir-fry. ‘Umami’ and saltiness, and also spiciness if you use ‘Mentaiko’, come from the Salted Pollock Roe, what you have to do is just stir-fry. This dish is perfect to eat with freshly cooked rice, but also great for drinking.

Chilli Flakes *optional

Sauce
60 to 80g ‘Tarako’ OR ‘Mentaiko’ *Salted Pollock Roe with/without Chilli
