Main Ingredients- 1 Mentaiko (spicy cod roe)
- 2 Tortillas
- 2 Tbsp Furikake (Japanese rice seasoning)
Seasoning- 0.5 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Cooking oil
- 0.5 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Cooking oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the mentaiko. Carefully cut the mentaiko in half lengthwise. Then, using the back of a knife, gently scrape the roe out of the membrane. Be gentle to avoid breaking the delicate roe.
Step 2
To the extracted mentaiko roe, add 0.5 Tbsp of sugar and mix gently. The sugar will balance the saltiness of the mentaiko, creating a wonderful sweet and savory flavor.
Step 3
Now, spread the prepared mentaiko mixture evenly onto the tortillas. Make sure to cover the entire surface so you get that delicious mentaiko flavor in every bite.
Step 4
Sprinkle 2 Tbsp of furikake over the mentaiko-covered tortillas. The diverse flavors and aromas of the furikake will add a rich complexity to the taste.
Step 5
[For Air Fryer Method] Cut each tortilla into 8 equal wedges. This shape makes them easy to bake and eat. 
Step 6
Place the tortilla wedges in the air fryer and cook at 170-180°C (340-355°F) for about 5 minutes. Cook until golden and crispy for perfectly delicious mentaiko tortilla chips. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Step 7
[For Pan-Frying Method] Lightly oil a frying pan with 1 Tbsp of cooking oil and heat over low heat. Place the prepared tortillas in the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown. Be careful with the heat to avoid burning. 
Step 8
Cut the chips into 8 pieces each for easy serving. Your delicious mentaiko tortilla chips, both visually appealing and incredibly tasty, are now complete! Enjoy them with a cold beer!
