Eel Sauce

Description

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)

Ingredients

  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup mirin (Japanese sweet wine)

Instructions

  1. Heat soy sauce
  2. sugar
  3. and mirin in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until liquid is reduced to about 3/4 cup.
