Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Introducing our ‘Pollock Roe and Potato Stir-fry’ – a dish with wonderfully fluffy potatoes and delightful bursts of pollock roe. It’s a fantastic side dish that pairs perfectly with rice or can even serve as a simple appetizer.
Step 2
First, prepare the pollock roe and potatoes for your dish. Keep the pollock roe refrigerated to ensure its freshness.
Step 3
Peel the potatoes thoroughly. Then, place them in boiling water and blanch for just about 2 minutes. This brief blanching helps the potatoes cook through while maintaining a fluffy texture when stir-fried, preventing them from becoming mushy. Be careful not to overcook them.
Step 4
Heat a frying pan and melt the piece of butter. Once the butter is melted, add the blanched potatoes and stir-fry over medium heat until they are lightly golden brown. Sautéing them until the surfaces are slightly browned will enhance their nutty flavor.
Step 5
Now, let’s prepare the pollock roe. Carefully remove the thin membrane from the pollock roe, keeping only the eggs. Once the potatoes are sufficiently stir-fried, reduce the heat to low. Add the prepared pollock roe and gently stir-fry with the potatoes for a short while longer. Avoid overcooking the pollock roe, as it can become dry. Stir it in just enough to combine it with the potatoes, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 6
Finally, add the chopped green onions and give it one last gentle toss. The fresh aroma of the green onions will add another layer of flavor to the dish.
Step 7
Thanks to the natural saltiness of the pollock roe, additional seasoning is usually unnecessary. If you prefer, you can add a tiny pinch of salt or pepper, but it’s best to let the pollock roe’s savory flavor shine.
Step 8
Your delicious Pollock Roe and Potato Stir-fry is ready! It tastes best when served warm.
Step 9
Pollock roe is not only rich in protein but is also said to be beneficial for improving vision and promoting healthy skin. Furthermore, it’s excellent for anti-aging and combating fatigue, making it a nutritious and appealing ingredient.
