• 1

  Prepare the sea urchin

  Wash the sea urchin thoroughly. Use scissors to cut off some of the spiky shell.

  At the bottom of the sea urchin, use the tip of the scissors to cut a circular opening, pouring out all the water inside to reveal the roe.

  Use tweezers to remove all the innards as they contain all the waste, leaving only the roe, which is usually yellow or orange. Finally, rinse it clean with water.

  Tip: To make the preparation process easier, you should wear fabric gloves to avoid getting pricked by the spines.

  Prepare other ingredients

  Green onions bought should have the wilted, bruised leaves removed, cut off the roots, washed clean, drained, and then chopped finely. Cheese should be cut into thin strands.

  Pork fat should be cleaned and then drained. Next, place a pot on the stove, pour in about 1 liter of water, and add 3 tablespoons of salt, then boil the pork fat for 10 minutes over medium heat. After boiling the fat, remove it to cool, dry it, and cut it into pieces about the size of a finger segment.

  Make onion fat

  Put all the boiled fat into a deep pan, turn on medium heat. Fry until the fat is golden and crispy, then add a few cloves of garlic.

  Stir occasionally to prevent the fat from burning and losing its original white color.

  Finally, add all the chopped green onions and stir-fry for about 30 seconds to complete the onion fat.
