Eel Preparation

Method

Eel Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sesame oil. Mix well until the sugar dissolves.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Eel

    Place the eel fillet in the marinade, ensuring it is fully coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Eel

    Preheat a grill or pan over medium heat. Remove the eel from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later. Cook the eel for about 4-5 minutes on each side until it is cooked through and slightly charred.

  4. 4

    Glaze with Marinade

    During the last minute of cooking, brush the reserved marinade over the eel to add flavor and shine.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the eel from the grill and let it rest for a minute. Slice it into pieces and garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds before serving.
