Kalles Kaviar is a cod roe paste made by a Swedish company. It0 is sold at IKEA and other stores in Finland, and is a great help for Japanese people living abroad who cannot get cod roe(tarako) or mentaiko.
It is supposed to be eaten as is on bread, but it is a little sweet, so I add soy sauce and ajinomoto. The key is to use ajinomoto to add only umami, not dashi powder.
Kalles Kaviar is also great for mentai mayo or tarako mayo potato salad, especially with new potatoes.
Boil pasta following the packets instruction. Put Kalles kaviar, soy sauce and ajinomoto in a cup and mix.
Pasta goes first on the dish and then the sauce. If you want to decorate it with nori or shiso put them on top of everything. Enjoy!
NOTES
Kalles Kaviar is said to be a Swedish national food. You can buy it from IKEA worldwide and from basically any rmarket if you’re in Finland.The taste is unique. I felt a strong sweetness with a mixture of fish smell. To distinguish the sweetness better, I put ajinomoto to add umami, and for fish smell, I added soy sauce to cover the smell.This is a real quick and easy lunch I like. You can also boil frozen seafood like shrimp, squid or mussels together with the pasta and you’ll have a more filling meal.
