Hakata mentaiju

What to get ready

• Rice 1.1 lb
• Spicy cod roe mentaiko 11.3 oz
• Nori seaweed 0.4 oz
• Soy sauce 2 ⅔ tbsp
• Mirin 2 ⅔ tbsp
• Spring onion 1.4 oz

Method

1. 1 Cook the rice until it's soft and fluffy, then fluff it up to allow some of the steam to escape.
2. 2 Spread shredded nori seaweed at the bottom of the paint can, then add a layer of hot rice on top.
3. 3 Place the entire strip of spicy mentaiko fish roe on top of the rice; do not chop it into small pieces.
4. 4 Mix soy sauce with mirin and brush a very thin layer onto the fish roe.
5. 5 Cover the container for 2 minutes to allow the steam from the rice to set the fish roe, sprinkle with chopped scallions, and eat immediately.
