Ingredients
- 1 package of frozen grilled eel thawed
- Cooking oil spray
- 12 oz. cooked rice
- Japanese sansho pepper optional
Unagi sauce:
- 4 Tbsp. mirin
- 1 ½ Tbsp. sake
- 2 ½ Tbsp light brown sugar
- 4 Tbsp. soy sauce
Instructions
- Add the mirin, sake, and sugar to a small saucepan. Heat it over medium and whisk to combine. Add the soy sauce and bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer.
- Simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until the sauce reduces to 1/3 of its volume.
- When almost ready, the sauce will thicken and you will see more bubbles. Measure the volume with the chopsticks and remove the sauce from the heat.
- Cut the unagi fillet in half, thirds, or quarters to fit the donburi serving bowls.
- Preheat the broiler on high (550ºF/288ºC) for 5 minutes with the rack placed in the center of the oven (about 8 inches away from the top).
- Line a baking tray with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and brush or spray the foil with oil. Put the cut unagi pieces on the foil with the skin side down.
- Broil them for about 5-7 minutes until the surface is slightly blistered.
- Open the oven and carefully yet generously brush the top of the unagi with the unagi sauce. Then broil for another 30-60 seconds until the sauce is bubbling.
- Place the hot steamed rice in individual bowls and brush it with some sauce.
- Place fillets of unagi in each rice bowl, then pour or brush more unagi sauce on top. Serve immediately with optional sansho pepper to garnish.
