Recipe
Ingredients
- White rice
- Karasumi(Mullet Roe)
- Egg
- Green scallions
- Kaoliang liquor(or cooking sake)
Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- Peel the thin membrane off premium Taiwanese Karasumi (Wuyuzi).
- Brush Kaoliang liquor (or rice wine) on the surface, and sear briefly in a pan (or with a torch) until bubbles form and it's fragrantly charred (leave the inside semi-raw and sticky).
- Dice the roasted Karasumi into 5mm cubes.
- Heat oil in a wok, stir-fry egg and rice to make crumbly golden fried rice.
- Season lightly with salt and a little white pepper (because Karasumi itself is very salty).
- Toss in the diced Karasumi and scallions, tossing briefly on high heat so the savory ocean aroma and rich depth of Karasumi coat the entire rice.

Trivia
[Hardcore] Karasumi is an absolute staple souvenir. Commonly sliced and eaten with daikon/scallions, but making it into fried rice activates the aroma with heat, dyeing every grain with premium flavor—the ultimate cheat code.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Ensure a Karasumi cube is on the spoon when scooping rice, savoring the rich 'sea cheese' umami spreading in your mouth the moment you bite!
