Tarako Spaghetti ingredients:

1 pack regular Italian spaghetti
1 stick of unsalted butter.
1/2 cup or more of heavy cream.
4 Tarako Pollock fish egg sacks cut open and eggs removed to plate or bowl.
Salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions:

Melt butter in nonstick pan. Don’t let butter get burned or turn brown.
Add Tarako fish roe/eggs to the butter and cook them.
Pollock eggs will cook fast and change color quickly. When all the eggs have changed color uniformly add the heavy cream.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Black pepper or white pepper will do.
Reduce the sauce to desired thickness. If sauce is to thin it won’t stick to pasta so reduce to reasonable thickness.
Add about 1 Tsp of Kewpie Mayo(Japanese Mayo) if you have it and stir it in.
If you don’t have Kewpie you can use the regular mayo or look below for a quick way to convert regular mayo into as close as possible to Kewpie.

Last step is a choice: You can now take the sauce and blend it in a processor or blender until the Tarako eggs have liquified or leave the sauce as is and and plate the dish and pour sauce over the spaghetti or add spaghetti to the skillet with the sauce and then plate and eat.

This recipe will serve 4 if you want only two servings then cut amounts in half!

Furikake Topping:

1 or 2 sheets of nori cut into thin strips or slivered as chiffonade.
1/8 to 1/4 cup toasted white sesame seeds.
1/2 Tsp sugar.
1/2 Tbsp salt.
1/2 Tsp white or black pepper.
Optional: You can use red pepper flakes for some heat if you don’t have white or black pepper.
Mix it all up together and use it as topping on your Tarako Spaghetti.

Kewpie Mayo Homemade:

1 1/2 Tsp regular mayo.
1/2 Tsp salt.
1/2 Tsp sugar.
1 Tsp Rice Vinegar.
Mix together and add to the Tarako cream sauce in your pan.

Eat and Enjoy!
