Mentaiko spaghetti
Japanese people love eating fish.
When we say fish, the most famous is sushi, which is raw fish,
but this time I’m going to tell you about mentaiko spaghetti,
which contains raw fish eggs.
Have you ever heard of mentaiko or karashimentaiko?
Mentaiko is the ovary from the Alaskan Pollack.
We use this ovary seasoned with hot pepper and other seasoning, and is not cooked with heat.
If we don't use hot pepper then we call it tarako. Both of them are eaten raw mostly,
and they are very popular food for Japanese.
By just dressing spaghetti with this recipe you can make a delicious dish easily.
Why don't you try it?!
