Classic recipe for lava sauce for sushi

Japanese cuisine today does not seem exotic. In any city there is more than one establishment that serves traditional dishes, and popular rolls and sushi can be ordered for home delivery almost at any time. It is not surprising that many fans of these dishes sooner or later think: “Perhaps I’ll do everything myself!” And instead of ordering by phone, they go to the store to prepare their favorite culinary delights with their own hands. It is worth noting that this is quite possible to do, since all the products used in the recipes can be found in specialized stores or special departments of supermarkets. The unique lava sauce, traditionally served with sushi, can be made with just three ingredients and is just as tasty as the dressing served in a restaurant.

You will need:

• Frozen scallop – 3 pieces
• Vegetable oil – 1 tablespoon
• Mayonnaise – 3 tablespoons
• Flying fish roe – 2 tablespoons

Number of servings – 3

Cooking time – 20 minutes

The importance of tradition

The scallops included in the sauce are a very healthy seafood product that reaches our store shelves straight from the Far East. Its meat contains a large amount of essential amino acids and proteins, it has a pleasant sweetish taste, and also belongs to the category of dietary products, for which it is highly valued in modern cooking. Before cooking, the scallop must be defrosted at room temperature, without resorting to using a microwave or hot water, as the consistency of the meat will deteriorate and its flavor will be lost.

Flying fish roe or tobiko – the same fine-grained caviar that is so often added to various rolls and sushi. In its natural form, it is orange in color, but sometimes food coloring is added to make it brighter. By the way, it is a little reminiscent of capelin caviar, so you can often find fakes made from it in stores. A high-quality product is made with the addition of a special marinade, and it is better to purchase it in trusted specialized stores.

1. The scallop is thawed, washed with cold water and cut into small pieces. It needs to be lightly fried in a frying pan for about 1 – 2 minutes. The readiness of the product will be indicated by the appearance of a slightly golden crust.
2. Place a cooled fried scallop in a container for preparing the sauce, followed by a tablespoon of tobiko caviar. The ingredients must be thoroughly mixed.
3. At the end, mayonnaise is placed in the bowl and everything is thoroughly mixed. The prepared sauce is served with fresh sushi and rolls.
