Uni Ikura Appetizer

Wanted to experiment with some new dishes... Quick and easy and very tasty. I was originally going to use cones for this dish, but couldn't find the right ingredients so I settled for a flour tortilla instead. I was originally going to use wonton wrappers and shape it into a cone and fry it. Couldn't find wonton wrappers; tried to use Vietnamese clear spring roll wrappers and failed with that as well. If I'm going to re-make this dish, I'd learn how to make filo dough or use spring roll (the kind that can be fried) wrapper.



Here are the ingredients:
1 flour tortilla
1 box of uni (sea urchin roe available in Japanese grocery stores)
1 box of ikura (salmon eggs available in Japanese grocery stores, I prefer the saltiness of the salmon eggs because it matches better w/ the sweetness of the uni and having the salmon eggs burst in your mouth is a good compliment to the soft texture of uni)
1 bunch of micro greens
1 teaspoon of seaweed flakes
Japanese salad dressing (you can buy off the shelf or make your own as follows: 1 TBS white soy sauce, 1 TBS bonito flavored soy sauce, a bit of wasabi, 1 TBS apple vinegar, 2 TBS mirin)

To put the dish together:

Cut the tortilla into appetizer size strips. Brush the tortilla with olive oil and grill until firm / crisp.

Toss the micro greens with the salad dressing and place it as the bed of the appetizer. Top with 2 pieces of uni and a dab of ikura. Sprinkle the plate w/ seaweed flakes and you're done.
