Directions
From a group buying program on wechat, I bought 5 lb of refresh Sea Urchin, I was planning to make raw sea urchin Don, but since when I opened up them, they didn’t look as fresh as I thought, only a few pieces I could get whole and completed ones. Unfortunately, I have to use them to make something doesn’t require a beautiful whole piece of sea urchin, I think Uni Pasta (Sea Urchin Pasta) could fulfill this purpose!
The recipe is very easy, and you can make the dish less than 10 minutes. I love the texture of sea urchin and also the creamy taste. Let me show you how to make this dish now!
Tips:
To garnish, please select the most beautiful pieces to put on the top of the dish.
I added a lot of cilantro into my dish, since I like the flavor and also add the green color into the dish.

Cook them until shallots become transparent, and then cook a little bit longer until garlic become a bit brownish. Now it’s the time to put in sea urchin, since my sea urchins already break into small pieces, I don’t need to blend them, but if you sea urchin is very fresh and all are big pieces, you need to blend a little bit from blender. |
