Unagi which is eel is my favorite kind of seafood! It's hard to find fresh eel here in Vietnam, but I recently found frozen Japanese Unagi at the gourmet grocery store so I started making Unadon at home a lot. If you have never heard of Unadon, Unagi Donburi or Unadon is a classic Japanese dish that consists of steamed rice topped with grilled eel fillets that are glazed with a sweetened soy-based sauce.
I wish I could get fresh eel and making Unadon from scratch but I'm still happy with my frozen eel with my homemade sauce ;) It's really simple to make the sauce so if the sauce is ready all you should do is make rice and grill eel fillets in an oven!
