Asian Cuisine Adventures: Uni and Masago w/ Quail Egg
About the Author
I will try anything at least once, and though I can't promise to love it, I will keep an open mind. So when a friend asked that I try "Uni" and "Masago with Quail Egg" last night I agreed. Then it was delivered to the table. See... that's the thing about committing to something sight unseen. First I tried the Masago with Quail Egg. It's exactly how it sounds... Masago is essentially a subtle and actually bland caviar (bright orange in coloring). Then there is a freshly cracked Quail egg placed on top. Yolk and all. Raw. Not a whole lot of taste and not terrible... though I felt as if I were eating raw egg (which I was). Moving on.. I next attempted the Uni. That was much more difficult. The coloring alone looked similar to something that my beautiful nieces leave behind in their diapers (and for good reason) and the texture wasn't much more appealing. So I balked and didn't eat the whole roll... just tasted the Uni. Not a fan. When I looked it up online this morning.. here is what I found: "it is the Sea Urchin's organs that produce the roe - In other words, the gonads." So essentially I tried Sea Urchin testicles. Alright. Fair enough. I tried something new. But they are both moved to the "dislike" column. At least I tried them, right?
