Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker or pot, and cook according to directions. Once cooked, let it sit for 10 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

  2. 2

    Prepare Eel

    While the rice is cooking, heat the BBQ eel filets according to package instructions (usually either grilling or broiling for a few minutes). Brush them with eel sauce.

  3. 3

    Slice Vegetables

    Thinly slice the cucumber and avocado. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Bowl

    In a bowl, place a generous portion of sushi rice at the bottom. Top with BBQ eel filets, cucumber slices, avocado slices, and oshinko. Sprinkle furikake and sesame seeds over the top.

  5. 5

    Finish with Eel Sauce

    Drizzle additional eel sauce over the assembled donburi before serving.
