  • Soy sauce – 3 tbsp

  • Sugar – 2 tbsp

  • Mirin (sweet rice wine) – 2 tbsp

👩‍🍳 2. Cooking Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Eel

  • If using whole eel, clean and fillet the eel, removing any bones. If using pre-filleted eel, rinse lightly and pat dry.

2️⃣ Make the Marinade

  • In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, sugar, mirin, sake, minced garlic, and sesame oil.

  • If you like a little extra kick, you can also add ginger slices to the marinade. Stir well to combine.

3️⃣ Marinate the Eel

  • Place the eel fillets in the marinade and let them sit for about 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

4️⃣ Grill the Eel

  • Preheat your grill or a grill pan to medium heat.

  • Place the marinated eel on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, basting occasionally with the marinade to keep the eel moist and flavorful. The eel should be nicely charred and cooked through.

  • Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

  • Serve hot with steamed rice and kimchi for a complete meal.
