Main Ingredients- 120g Pollack Roe (Myeongan-jeot)
Seasoning- 1 tsp Minced Garlic
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1.5 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
- 2-3 drops Vinegar
- 1 tsp Minced Garlic
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1.5 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
- 2-3 drops Vinegar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Carefully cut the pollack roe into small pieces with scissors. It’s best to cut it small, especially if there’s a thin membrane, to ensure a tender texture and better absorption of seasonings.
Step 2
Add 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds or ground sesame seeds to the cut pollack roe for a nutty aroma and flavor.
Step 3
If you enjoy a subtle garlic flavor, add 1 teaspoon of minced garlic. This enhances the umami, but keep the amount moderate for children’s palates.
Step 4
Pollack roe can taste saltier, especially in warmer months. To balance the saltiness and add a touch of sweetness, incorporate 1 teaspoon of sugar. This will also boost the overall savory flavor.
Step 5
For summer preparations of fermented seafood, a tiny amount of vinegar can be beneficial. Adding just 2-3 drops of apple cider vinegar can help neutralize any potential harmful bacteria, such as E. coli. The flavor impact is negligible, so don’t worry.
Step 6
Finally, drizzle in 1.5 tablespoons of sesame oil generously. Mix everything well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined, creating a fragrant and flavorful dish.
Step 7
Your delicious pollack roe salad is ready! It’s perfectly salty, nutty, and has a delightful pop from the roe. Its mild flavor makes it an ideal side dish for toddlers and children. Enjoy this delightful treat!
