Unagi Fried Rice - Japanese food stall recipe

Unagi fried rice is both aromatic and delicious. By purchasing pre-cooked Japanese eel (kabayaki), you can easily make fried rice at home without any additional preparation. Using cold rice is ideal for making fried rice, but if you don’t have cold rice, you can still achieve a great result by spending extra time and patience while stir-frying, making sure the rice grains remain distinct.

1. Cut the eel and spring onion into small pieces, and finely chop the ginger.

2. Heat a pan over high heat, add some oil, and quickly scramble the eggs until half-cooked. Remove and set aside.

3. Over medium heat, add some oil to the pan, then add the minced ginger and rice. Stir-fry for 7-8 minutes, or until the rice is dried out.

4. Add the partially cooked eggs and eel to the pan, and stir well. Then season with salt and dark soy sauce for coloring, and continue to stir-fry until the rice is fully dry. (You can also use eel sauce instead of dark soy sauce.)

5. Finally, add the chopped spring onion and stir well. Serve on a plate once everything is evenly mixed.

6. The delicious Unagi fried rice is ready!
