Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the eel

    Clean the sea eel thoroughly under running water. Remove any innards and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Make the sauce

    In a saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grill the eel

    Preheat the grill to medium heat. Brush the eel with sesame oil and season with salt. Grill the eel for about 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.

  4. 4

    Glaze the eel

    During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the eel with the prepared sauce to glaze it.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the eel from the grill, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve with the remaining sauce on the side.
