Number Of Ingredients 7

2/3 cup (130 g) sugar
4 teaspoons (8 g) dashi
1 cup (240 ml) soy sauce
1 cup (240 ml) mirin
1/2 cup (120 ml) sake
1 tablespoon (9 g) cornstarch
2 tablespoons (30 ml) water

Steps:

  • Measure the liquids and sugar into a pot. Pour 2/3 cup (130 g) of sugar into a medium-sized pot and add 4 teaspoons (8 g) of dashi, 1 cup (240 ml) of mirin, and 1/2 cup (120 ml) of sake. Ensure that you're using dashi granules, not already dissolved dashi.
  • Stir and heat the mixture over high heat. Turn the heat on to high and stir until the sugar is dissolved. The liquids should begin to boil.
  • Add the soy sauce and bring the sauce to a boil. Stir in 1 cup (240 ml) of soy sauce and keep heating the sauce over high heat until it comes to a boil again.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer the sauce for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn the heat down to medium or lower, so the sauce bubbles gently. Stir the sauce occasionally and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Dissolve the cornstarch in the water. Measure 1 tablespoon (9 g) of cornstarch into a small prep bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of cold water until the cornstarch dissolves into a slurry.
  • Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the sauce. Turn the heat to medium-low and slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the eel sauce. Keep whisking to prevent lumps of cornstarch from forming.
  • Bring the sauce to a boil. Keep whisking and heating the sauce until it comes to a boil. The sauce should thicken quickly and make bigger bubbles. Turn off the heat and let the sauce cool completely.
  • Use or store the cooled eel sauce. The eel sauce will thicken even more as it cools. Transfer the sauce to a squeeze bottle or storage container. Drizzle the sauce over unagi sushi rolls, grilled meats, or rice noodles. You can also use it as a dipping sauce. Store the eel sauce in the refrigerator and use it within 5 days. It may become even thicker as it's chilled.

EEL SAUCE



Eel Sauce image

Also called Nitsume, Unagi or Kabayaki. It is a sweet and salty sauce that goes great over grilled fish or chicken and is a common drizzle over sushi. Traditionally it is used on Japanese grilled eel and eel rolls. I also use this sauce over fresh cooked noodles for a quick snack. 1/2 cup of dashi may be added to create a richer, more authentic flavor. (Dashi is a fish stock that must be made at home)

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh eel, soy sauce, and mirin will give your sauce the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the eel: Eel is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it quickly over high heat. Otherwise, it will become tough and chewy.
  • Simmer the sauce: Simmering the sauce for a few minutes will help to develop its flavor and thicken it slightly.
  • Serve the sauce warm: Eel sauce is best served warm, so it can be poured over the eel or used as a dipping sauce.
  • Experiment with different ingredients: You can add other ingredients to your eel sauce, such as ginger, garlic, or sake, to create different flavor variations.

Conclusion:

Eel sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new sauce to try, give eel sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
