Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients for the fried dish.
Step 2
Make the pollock roe mayo sauce by combining 1 Tbsp pollack roe, 4 Tbsp mayonnaise, and 1 tsp wasabi paste in a bowl. For the wasabi mayo sauce, mix 1 Tbsp mayonnaise and 1 tsp wasabi paste. (Tip: Adjust the ratio of pollack roe, mayonnaise, and wasabi to your taste for the best flavor.)
Step 3
In a bowl, mix the frying powder and water to create a batter. Dip the whelks into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 4
Pour cooking oil into a wok or deep pan and heat it over medium-low heat. Add the battered whelks and fry until golden brown and crispy. You can also drop spoonfuls of excess batter into the oil to fry them. (Tip: Be cautious of high heat, as the fried whelks can burn quickly.)
Step 5
Place the fried whelks on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Step 6
Arrange the fried whelks on a serving plate. Place the pollock roe mayo and seaweed flakes on the sides of the whelks and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
