  • In a medium pan, put together 1/2 c eel broth with cooking sake, mirin, soy sauce.Bring to boil and simmer until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon. Taste, and adjust seasoning if needed (add sugar if need more sweetness and more water if it's too salty).
  • Skew 2-3 skewers across eel body to make sure it's not curl up while grilling.
  • Season 1 small dash salt and pepper, make sure your grill is hot, brush one thin layer of vegetable oil on each side and grill each side for 5-8 minutes.

EEL SAUCE



Eel Sauce image

Also called Nitsume, Unagi or Kabayaki. It is a sweet and salty sauce that goes great over grilled fish or chicken and is a common drizzle over sushi. Traditionally it is used on Japanese grilled eel and eel rolls. I also use this sauce over fresh cooked noodles for a quick snack. 1/2 cup of dashi may be added to create a richer, more authentic flavor. (Dashi is a fish stock that must be made at home)
