Sawtelle Kitchen Ripoff

We tried Sawtelle Kitchen last week but I forgot my camera. The food is fine: simple, homey, Japanese-American, and reasonably cheap. I really liked my masago pasta so I recreated it at home.

Excuse the mess; I'm in the middle of making Chinese wedding invitations to send to Taiwan. The recipe for one serving of pasta is:

• 1/4 pound pasta, spaghetti or angel hair
• 3 tablespoons masago (the tiny orange fish eggs used in Japanese food)
• a very small handful of daikon sprouts
• 1/2 cup of crushed roasted seaweed. I see bags of this at the Korean market. They're already shredded and seasoned with salt and sesame seeds.

Boil the pasta, remembering to add salt to the water. Drain and toss with the other ingredients. Done!
