Notes

  • *1 Unagi sauce recipe here.
  • *2 How to cook rice in Japanese way.
  • *3 or defrost in the fridge a night before which I did.
  • *4 you can also microwave to heat up. If you use a microwave, you do not need to sprinkle sake, as sake will not evaporate enough. Microwave for 1 minute on 600w. 
  • *5 Sansho Japanese pepper is usually used but I did not have it. You may find it in Japanese grocery stores or online shop.
  • *6 cooking time does not include cooking rice, and defrosting frozen eel kabayaki, and making Unagi sauce.
