Directions

  3. Remove the thin membrane form the mentaiko and mix the roe with the butter.
  4. Finely shred the dried seaweed (nori) and the shisho leaves.
  5. When the spaghettini is cooked, drain well. Immediately mix with the mentaiko and the better and season with kombu cha powder and soy sauce.
  6. Put onto a serving plate, sprinkle the dried seaweed and shisho leaves on top and garnish with green onions or chives.
