The quantities follow this count.

2 whole sacs tarako
3 cups, cooked short grain rice
2 nori sheets
1 green onion

How to cook it

Lightly grill or pan sear the tarako for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the outside turns pale and opaque; it can also be served raw if you prefer it that way.
Slice the tarako open lengthwise and scrape the roe from the membrane.
Divide the hot rice among bowls.
Lay the roe over the rice and scatter with the green onion.
Tear strips of nori over the top and serve at once, a one minute breakfast in a very large number of Japanese homes, made with plain salted tarako rather than the chili marinated mentaiko.
