Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thaw the 2 packages of frozen tobiko. If you’re short on time, you can quickly thaw them by placing the unopened packages in lukewarm water. Be careful not to let water get inside the packaging. Source: https://mangoistree.tistory.com/entry/냉동날치알로-알밥-만드는-법4인분 [망고는 옻나무과]
Step 2
Prepare 4 strips of pickled radish, the kind typically used for kimbap. This ingredient adds a wonderful tangy crunch.
Step 3
Dice the pickled radish into small cubes, slightly smaller than dice-cut but larger than finely minced. This size ensures a pleasant bite.
Step 4
Take your well-fermented kimchi, squeeze out excess juice, and mix it with 1 Tbsp sugar, sesame oil, and a pinch of black pepper. Gently toss the kimchi with your hands as if you were seasoning a salad, ensuring the flavors meld together. Source: https://mangoistree.tistory.com/entry/냉동날치알로-알밥-만드는-법4인분 [망고는 옻나무과]
Step 5
Thinly shred about 10 romaine lettuce leaves. If romaine isn’t available, feel free to substitute with cucumber, cabbage, regular lettuce, chicory, or even perilla leaves for a unique twist! Source: https://mangoistree.tistory.com/entry/냉동날치알로-알밥-만드는-법4인분 [망고는 옻나무과]
Step 6
Prepare 1 king oyster mushroom and 1/2 onion. Don’t hesitate to use other stir-fry-friendly vegetables you have on hand, such as carrots, enoki mushrooms, or shiitake mushrooms. Source: https://mangoistree.tistory.com/entry/냉동날치알로-알밥-만드는-법4인분 [망고는 옻나무과]
Step 7
Lightly oil a pot or pan suitable for your rice bowl. Add a pinch of salt and stir-fry the shredded mushrooms and onion over medium heat until they soften and develop some color. Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a separate bowl. Source: https://mangoistree.tistory.com/entry/냉동날치알로-알밥-만드는-법4인분 [망고는 옻나무과]
Step 8
Finely cut the packet of seasoned seaweed (gim) into thin strips using scissors. These crispy shreds will add a lovely garnish.
Step 9
Now, let’s make the delicious sauce! In a small bowl, combine 1/4 bowl of soy sauce, 1 Tbsp minced garlic, and 1 Tbsp gochugaru. Add sesame oil, black pepper, and sesame seeds. For an extra kick, you can add chopped green onions or finely chopped chili peppers. Source: https://mangoistree.tistory.com/entry/냉동날치알로-알밥-만드는-법4인분 [망고는 옻나무과]
Step 10
In the same pot where you sautéed the vegetables, add 1 Tbsp sesame oil and 1 Tbsp perilla oil. Spread the cooked rice evenly in the pot and heat over medium heat for a short while to warm it through. Then, artfully arrange the sautéed vegetables, seasoned kimchi, and diced pickled radish over the rice. Source: https://mangoistree.tistory.com/entry/냉동날치알로-알밥-만드는-법4인분 [망고는 옻나무과]
Step 11
Turn off the heat and arrange the fresh shredded romaine lettuce on top. The crisp raw vegetables add a refreshing contrast.
Step 12
Now for the star of the show: the thawed tobiko! Gently place it on top of the other ingredients. To preserve its signature popping texture, avoid direct contact with very hot elements, as this can cook the roe. It’s best placed over the other toppings.

Step 13
Finally, sprinkle the finely cut seasoned seaweed evenly over the bowl and drizzle about 2 Tbsp of the prepared sauce. Your delicious tobiko rice bowl is ready! Let it sit for a minute or two before mixing for even better flavor. Source: https://mangoistree.tistory.com/entry/냉동날치알로-알밥-만드는-법4인분 [망고는 옻나무과]
