Chilled pasta with Pacific saury(サンマの冷製パスタ)

What kind of dish is Chilled pasta with Pacific saury?

This is a recipe for chilled pasta using saury, umeboshi, shiso leaves, and kabosu citrus.

Saury, a quintessential autumn delicacy, hits supermarket shelves in early September.

It’s still hot at this time of year, so this is the perfect dish for when you want something refreshing but still want to feel the arrival of autumn.

Chilled pasta is a pasta dish unique to Japan.

The amount of water and salt used to boil the spaghetti is important to make delicious chilled pasta. Make sure the noodles fully absorb the flavor.

Also, be sure to drain the water thoroughly. If moisture remains on the surface of the pasta, the flavor will be dull, significantly reducing the quality of the dish.

Many recipes call for coating the pasta with oil, such as butter or olive oil, to prevent the noodles from sticking together.

In this recipe, the oil from the saury prevents the noodles from sticking together even without using butter or olive oil.
