Ingredients
  

  • 1 unagi (eel) fillet (defrosted and cut into bite sized pieces)
  • 1 small yellow onion (thinly sliced)
  • 300 ml water
  • 3 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp mirin
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 green onion (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp furikake (optional)
  • Rice

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the eggs in a bowl and set aside.
  • In a large pan over medium high heat, add the onion, water, soy sauce and mirin. Give it a stir and bring it to a boil.
  • Add in the unagi and chopped green onion. Cover, and turn down the heat to low medium heat. Let the unagi cook for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes soft.
