Ingredients (For 2 people)

 

Grilled Hamana Lake Eel
(You can also use Kabayaki)
2/1 fish
Burdock 4/1
onion Half
White green onion 4/1
egg 2 individual
Trefoil 4/1 piece
White rice Appropriate amount
ゴ マ Appropriate amount
Mominori Appropriate amount
Combined seasoning A
dashi of Katsuo 200 tsp
dark soy sauce 1 tablespoons
tablespoon of sake One thousandth
sugar 2 tsp
sweet sake
(You can also use commercially available tentsuyu)
1 tsp

Method

After making sinews on the burdock root, cut it into thin pieces, and cut the onion and white onion into strips. Tear off the leaves of the mitsuba leaves and cut the stems into 2cm pieces.

Cut the eel into bite-sized pieces

Beat the eggs until the whites remain (do not over mix)

Put A into a frying pan and heat it.

Before A boils, add the burdock root, and when it comes to a boil, add the onion, white onion, and eel in that order (skin side down on the eel).

When the eel becomes fluffy and the onion becomes soft, reduce the heat to low and add ❸ about two-thirds of the way through.

When the white part of the egg begins to harden, turn off the heat, add the remaining 3/1 of step ❸, and sprinkle the mitsuba leaves on top.

Pour white rice into a bowl, spread sesame seeds and minori, top with ❼, and it's done!

Key Points

Point ❶
If you are cutting burdock and using it immediately, the flavor will be better if you do not expose it to water.

 

If you add about 10cc of green tea to A, the effect of catechin will prevent the eel from becoming hard even when the food cools down.

 

Point ❽
If you like, sprinkle with Sansho powder to enhance the flavor.
