Cheng Can Cook: Uni Spaghetti ★★★

Uni Spaghetti. One of my favorite food to cook. After tasting it at Blue Marlin (closed) for 20+ times, I can finally write my own recipe based on tasting the dish there. My original recipe below.



Recipe:
Ingredients:
A box of uni
Spaghetti, enough for 1 person
About 2 teaspoons of Butter
A few tablespoons of Heavy Whipping Cream
Japanese Mayo to taste (a tablespoon)
Salt to taste (a teaspoon)
Garnish: Salmon Roe/ Seaweed pieces (small slices)/ Sliced Green Onions/ Shiso Leaf (optional)

1. Cook spaghetti.
2. Chop uni roughly into big chunks.
3. In a separate pan, heat up pan with butter. Sauté whipping cream and add mayo. Cook until thickens and add the chopped uni. Stir.
4. Add spaghetti to the sauce in pan and stir. Add salt to taste and mix. Done.
5. When you take the spaghetti out from the pan, leave the uni chunks in the pan. After taking the spaghetti out, put uni chunks on top of the spaghetti. Put seaweed/ green onions/ shiso leaf on top for garnish.
