Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 2
Ingredients: For the Mentaiko Sauce:; 2 sacs spicy salted pollock roe or cod roe (karashi mentaiko) (about one mentaiko sac (1 oz, 30 g) per serving; the mentaiko I use has no food coloring, so my finished dish looks less pink/orange than other versions); ¼ cup heavy (whipping) cream; 1 tsp soy sauce; ½ onion; 2 Tbsp unsalted butter; ⅛ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt; 4 oz squid (cleaned and thin outer skin removed); 2 Tbsp sake; freshly ground black pepper (to taste); For the Udon:; 2 servings udon noodles (1.1 lb, 500 g frozen or parboiled udon noodles; 6.3 oz, 180 g dry udon noodles); For the Garnish:; 10 shiso leaves (perilla/ooba) (optional, but I highly recommend it); shredded nori seaweed (kizami nori) (or cut nori sheet into thin strips)
