soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: tamari

Low-sodium soy sauce reduces sodium intake, while tamari is gluten-free.

mirin

🥗Healthier: rice vinegar + sugar

💰Cheaper: white wine + sugar

Rice vinegar + sugar mimics the sweetness of mirin without the cost.

sake

🥗Healthier: cooking sake

💰Cheaper: dry white wine

Cooking sake is less expensive and still provides flavor.

dashi

🥗Healthier: kombu broth

💰Cheaper: vegetable broth

Kombu broth offers umami without fish, while vegetable broth is budget-friendly.

1

Prepare warm salted water at 70 degrees Celsius with 60 grams of salt in 2 liters of water.

2

Gently wash the salmon roe in the warm salted water to remove the ovary membrane.

3

Rinse the salmon roe multiple times until no membrane bits are left, about seven times.

4

Drain the salmon roe well after rinsing.

5

Sprinkle half a teaspoon of salt lightly over the salmon roe and let it cure for 10 minutes.

6

Prepare nikiti soy sauce by combining 5 parts sake and 1 part soy sauce in a pan, boil for 100 seconds, and cool it down.

7

Pour 70 milliliters of nikiti soy sauce over the salmon roe and let it marinate for 20 minutes to expel excess water.

8

Drain the salmon roe and discard the first nikiti soy sauce used for curing.

9

Add 140 milliliters of nikiti soy sauce and dried kombu seaweed to the salmon roe for marinating.

10

Seal tightly with cling film and refrigerate for 3 hours.
