Instructions
- Open the 2 sacs of cod roe with a knife and scoop out thoroughly.
- In a small bowl, combine cod roe and kewpie mayo and mix until uniform. Then mix in soy sauce and greek yogurt. Set the mentaiko sauce mixture aside.
- In a skillet, melt the butter and add in garlic and onions. Cook until the onions have softened and the garlic is golden.
- At this point, it's time to put everything together! Ensure that you lower the heat to low, and toss in the cooked udon noodles and mentaiko mixture. Mix thoroughly. I also added some dashi stock for some additional flavor and to emulsify the sauce.
- Garnish with tograshi, furikake, bonito flakes, and green onions and serve!
