Main Ingredients- 3 packets of Pollack Roe (approx. 150-200g)
- 1/4 Onion (small size)
- 1/2 Scallion (white part mainly)
- 1 Korean Chili Pepper (optional, adjust spiciness)
- 1/2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 3 packets of pollack roe. It’s more convenient if the pollack roe is already thawed. (Approximately 150-200g)
Step 2
Carefully trim the pollack roe without bursting the membrane. Using kitchen scissors, cut it into bite-sized pieces (about 1-1.5cm). It’s important to handle them gently so the eggs don’t break.
Step 3
Prepare the vegetables that will enhance the flavor of the pollack roe salad. Finely mince 1/4 onion, 1/2 scallion (mainly the white part), and 1 Korean chili pepper (optional). Also, have 1/2 Tbsp of minced garlic ready. The finer the vegetables are minced, the better the seasoning will be absorbed, resulting in a tastier dish.
Step 4
Prepare 2 Tbsp of soju to effectively remove any fishy smell from the pollack roe and add flavor. You can use cooking wine instead of soju if preferred.
Step 5
In a large bowl, combine the prepared minced vegetables, minced garlic, and pollack roe. Pour in 2 Tbsp of soju, which is excellent for removing fishy odors, and add 1 Tbsp of sesame oil. (Sesame oil can also be drizzled at the end of seasoning if you prefer).
Step 6
Now it’s time to add flavor. Add 1 Tbsp of gochugaru (Korean chili powder) and a pinch of sesame seeds for added aroma.
Step 7
Finally, add the ingredients for sweetness and tanginess. Add 1 tsp of sugar (adjust to your taste) and 2 Tbsp of vinegar. Vinegar helps eliminate any fishy taste and adds a refreshing flavor. Mix all ingredients to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Step 8
Using chopsticks or a spatula, gently mix all the prepared ingredients with the seasoning. It’s crucial to mix gently to avoid crushing the pollack roe. Once all ingredients are well combined, your delicious Pollack Roe Salad is ready! Serve it over warm rice and enjoy.
