Unaju

Grilled Eel Over Rice

Learn how to make delicious restaurant-style unaju at home! Made with tender pieces of grilled eel coated in a sweet, homemade unagi sauce and served over rice in a special box called "jubako", this luxurious dish is sure to impress!

Unaju

what you'll need:

» turbinado sugar » dark brown sugar » sake » mirin » soy sauce » eel fillets » cooked rice » Japanese sansho pepper

Melt the sugar

Add the turbinado sugar and dark brown sugar to the pan and heat on medium-high.

1

Add sake & mirin

When the sugar starts to melt, add the sake and mirin and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes while stirring occasionally.

2

Add soy sauce

Lower to a simmer and add the soy sauce. For a deeper unagi flavor, add unagi head and bones. Simmer for 10 minutes or until thickened like syrup, then turn off the heat.

3

Prepare the eel

Wash the eel with cold water and dry the surface with kitchen paper. Cut into 2 or 3 pieces depending on the size.

4

Steam

Heat a frying pan on medium low and place the eel in the pan skin side down. Add sake and place a lid on top. Steam for 5 minutes.

5

Grill

Preheat your grill (broiler) for 5 minutes on medium-high. Place the eel on foil with the flesh side facing up and grill for 6 minutes.

6

Turn

Carefully flip the eel over and grill the skin side for 5 minutes.

7

Apply sauce

Brush one side with sauce and grill for one minute, then flip and repeat. Repeat this step 3 times on each side, alternating each time to prevent burning.

8

Brush the rice

Divide the rice into serving boxes (jubako) and brush generously with the leftover unagi sauce.

9

Add eel

Arrange the eel on top of the rice and sprinkle with sansho pepper. Enjoy!
