• You can adjust the spiciness of the mentaiko sauce by adding more or less mentaiko according to your preference.
• If you can't find mentaiko, you can substitute it with spicy cod roe or tobiko.

• Leftover mentaiko sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the fries in the oven for a few minutes before serving leftovers.
