For 2 servings

thick slices shokupan 4

mentaiko 120g (4.2 oz)

unsalted butter 60g (2.1 oz)

soy sauce 1 tsp

Instructions

Prep

Remove membrane from 120g mentaiko. Finely slice 4 spring onion stalks. Cut 2 small nori sheets into thin strips. Mix mentaiko, 60g softened butter, 2 tbsp kewpie mayo, 1 tsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp sesame oil in a bowl until smooth and pale pink.

Toast

Lightly toast 4 thick shokupan slices in a toaster or dry pan over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes until just golden—do not fully toast as they will grill again.

Grill

Preheat oven grill to high. Spread mentaiko butter generously over each toast slice edge to edge. Place on a baking tray under the grill 3 to 4 minutes until bubbling, blistered, and lightly charred at the edges. Watch closely.

Plate

Slide onto plates. Top immediately with spring onion, nori strips, and 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds per serving. Serve at once.
