Ingredients- Baguette, 10-12 pieces
- Mentaiko (cod roe), 2 Tbsp (roe only)
- Mayonnaise, 2 Tbsp
- Oligosaccharide (or honey/syrup), 1 Tbsp
- Sugar, 1/2 Tbsp
- Green onions (scallions), 2 stalks
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the mentaiko. Carefully remove the membrane from the mentaiko and scoop out only the roe into a bowl. This flavorful roe will be the star of your topping!
Step 2
Next, finely chop the green onions. Wash them, pat them dry thoroughly, and then mince them. The fresh onion flavor will beautifully complement the creamy mentaiko mixture.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the delicious mentaiko mayonnaise sauce! In a bowl, combine the prepared mentaiko roe (2 Tbsp), mayonnaise (2 Tbsp), oligosaccharide (or honey/syrup for sweetness, 1 Tbsp), and sugar (1/2 Tbsp). Add the finely chopped green onions as well.
Step 4
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. You’ll achieve a perfect balance of savory mentaiko, creamy mayonnaise, sweet syrup, and fresh green onion notes.
Step 5
Slice your baguette into halves or desired serving pieces. Generously spread the prepared mentaiko mayonnaise mixture onto each piece of baguette, ensuring an even layer.
Step 6
Finally, bake your mentaiko baguettes to perfection! Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the baguette is golden brown and crispy, and the topping is slightly melty. Enjoy your delicious, savory-sweet mentaiko baguettes immediately!
