Toku Unagi and Sushi (West Hollywood): A Pictorial Essay

@Ns1 Low carb unagi options:
•Unagi egg omelette
•UnaKyu - Unagi with cucumber. Slice Persian cucumber into thick lengthwise strips, top with strips of unagi, add sauce and sprinkle shredded nori seaweed on top (most of the local Japanese markets sell shredded nori “kizami nori” - I often use it when I have buckwheat soba noodles at home).

Defrost. Wash off the eel. Cut into portions. Put it in a frying pan lined with Japanese kitchen paper. Sprinkle with sake or water (about 2 Tablespoons) and heat on low with a lid for 7-10 minutes. If there’s a packet of sauce, heat in a water bath in a mug or something while the unagi warms up. If not, heat up the unagi tare you bought in a jar in a similar fashion.
