Unagi-don (Caramelized Roasted or Grilled Eel Rice Bowl)...

Unagi-don or Unadon for short! Roasted or grilled caramelized glazed eel over rice 🍚🥢! That's what I'm talking about 😍... Sweet soy sauce (called tare) basted eel fillets grilled over the charcoal fire (kabayaki-style) is one of the most beloved and decadent rice bowls by the Japanese. You can make this for your family simply as they are conveniently prepared, cooked and ready to heat and eat.

Buy the prepared frozen eel fillets in the freezer section of Asian supermarkets.

Place eel and its accompanying glaze sauce in a foil wrap and close to heat in hot 350F oven for 15 mins (I like to add sauteed green onion pieces).

I like adding egg crepe ribbons for another protein and pop of colour to the bowl. Plus it goes so well with eel and rice.

Try it with your favourite toppings and introduce a wide array of Japanese condiments to elevate the taste experience such as sliced green onions, nori strips, Japanese kewpie mayonnaise, green seaweed powder (aonori), furikake (mixed seasoning for rice), toasted sesame seeds and Shichi-mi tōgarashi aka seven-flavor chili pepper.

Lay everything on the table for DIY customization. I also served this meal with sides of kimchi and seasoned spinach Korean-style.

A quick exquisite 🇯🇵 comfort hot rice bowl (donburi) comes together in a flash to tempt and tantalize. So tender and flavourful 🤤!

Itadakimasu! 🌸 Oishiiiiii!!!
