Combining mentaiko and sesame dressing may be weird for you but trust me, both of them are magical when combined together. The briny, slightly pungent taste of the mentaiko will be well balanced by the nutty aroma of the sesame dressing. The rough, beady texture of the mentaiko is a perfect chaperone for the buttery mouth feel that the sesame dressing can offer. So, combining both ingredients together will give you a set of interesting flavors and texture.
The dressing is best served with noodles, omelette and raw greens such as tomatoes, alfafa and cucumber. If you are daring enough, you can have them with raw eggs too!
I used a lot more dressing the one shown in the picture

I loved this combination a lot but my sister preferred a lighter dressing with the noodles. Well, it really depends on what you want. :D
