Unagi Nigiri
Unagi Nigiri is a Japanese sushi made with barbecue eel on top of hand formed sushi rice resulting in a sweet and savory delicious bite.
Ingredients
- 1 bbq eel*
- 1 cup sushi rice
- nori seaweed cut into ½ inch thick, ~ 3 inches long
- unagi sauce
Recipe Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. If the eel is whole, cut into equal pieces, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Make a small boat with aluminum foil, lightly oil and add eel. Warm in oven for roughly 10 minutes.
- Wet your hands and take enough sushi rice to fit into the palm of your hand, about 2 - 3 tbsp. Gently squeezing, form into small oblong shaped pieces.
- Place the eel on top of your rice. Take a nori strip and wrap around the middle. Top with a small dollop of unagi sauce.
Notes
*You can find whole cooked barbecue eel in the frozen section of most Asian markets.
