ingredients:
- 1 3/4 ounces karashi-mentaiko
- 1 3/4 ounces (spicy alaska pollack roe)
- 3 green perilla leaves (optional)
- 8 1/2 ounces cooked thick white noodles
- noodles (udon)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/6 ounce butter
- 2 heaping tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 2/3 tablespoons milk

step 1:
Because mentaiko is covered by a thin film, cut the mentaiko in half lengthwise and take out the contents. Place in a bowl.

step 2:
Chop the green perilla leaves thinly (optional).

step 3:
Melt the butter in a microwave oven. Add the melted butter, mayonnaise, milk, lemon juice to the mentaiko in the bowl and mix.

step 4:
Add the cooked thick white noodles and green perilla leaves (optional) to the sauce in the bowl and mix.

comment:
The mentaiko sauce becomes mild with the butter and milk. It suits chewy thick white noodles and is delicious. Please try it.
