Essential Ingredients
- 300g prepared sea squirts
- 1/2 Tbsp salt (for salting sea squirts)
- 2 stalks scallions
Seasoning Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp red pepper flakes
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 Tbsp fish sauce (e.g., anchovy or sand lance)
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds (for nutty aroma)
- 1/2 Tbsp sugar (adjust sweetness to taste)
- 2 Tbsp red pepper flakes
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 Tbsp fish sauce (e.g., anchovy or sand lance)
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds (for nutty aroma)
- 1/2 Tbsp sugar (adjust sweetness to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the fresh sea squirts. Rinse them thoroughly under running water. Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of coarse salt over the sea squirts and gently mix. Let them sit for about 1 hour to salt. This process helps to remove any bitterness, drain excess moisture, and achieve a chewier texture.
Step 2
After salting, drain the sea squirts in a colander. Rinse them lightly under cold water to remove excess salt, and then ensure all moisture is completely drained. If water remains, the seasoning won’t adhere well and the dish might be too watery. Patting them dry with a paper towel is highly recommended for best results.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the flavorful seasoning! In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of red pepper flakes, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1/2 tablespoon of fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds, and 1/2 tablespoon of sugar. Mix well to create the seasoning paste. Pour this seasoning over the drained sea squirts. Finely chop the scallions and add them to the mix. Gently toss everything together, being careful not to mash the sea squirts, until well combined. Your delicious sea squirt roe is ready to be enjoyed immediately, or stored in the refrigerator.
