Unadon (BBQ Eel over Rice)

  1. 1

    Rinse the Japanese rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook in a rice cooker or pot with 2 cups of water until fluffy.

  2. 2

  2. 5

    Fill Dumplings

    Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of each dumpling wrapper. Moisten the edges with water and fold to seal tightly.

    Steam or pan-fry the dumplings until cooked through and golden brown. Serve with dipping sauce.

    Add the cooked noodles to the beef mixture, stir until well combined and heated through. Garnish with sliced green onions.
