I was not going to make unagi donburi this summer because of the problem with imported unagi, but when I saw a cooking show on TV introducing a new unagi-bowl idea, I just gave in. My post of the unagi donburi is coming soon. But it is not as creative as yours. Definitely.

Liz: Thanks for your kind words. Sometimes I’m so hungry that I just don’t have the patience to take good photos;) and usually, by evening, the light isn’t as flattering.

Red Sun: Thanks- I read your blog too! I hope you’ll be able to find some frozen unagi at a Japanese market- it’s honestly just as good as unfrozen, and comes ready to eat.

Foodette: Have rice maker, will make Japanese food! You should go out and buy an electric rice maker and you’ll see how easy it is to make lots of Japanese rice dishes. You can set the timer so it’s ready right when you’re ready to eat too, and add lots of different flavors to it. Good luck!

I have never been brave enough to attempt making Japanese food – you make it look so easy! I have a feeling that, if I tried to replicate this meal, it would be a huge failure. Oh well…a girl can dream….

Such a great thing to have in the freezer for a quick tasty meal. I got a hint from my mom in Japan to steam the frozen unagi in foil with sake in a frying pan for a bit (10 minish), then finish with pouring scolding hot water and close up the foil, to wash away the excess grease. Throw out the excess juice and place on top of hot rice. It made it amazingly fluffy and light, so it allowed the unagi sauce to go really well.
