How to Prep Store-Bought Eel

To elevate store-bought kabayaki eel to restaurant quality, it is important to prep it properly. Rinsing off the packaged sauce and reheating it gently helps restore its plump, tender texture.

Prepping Burdock Root for Extra Flavor

Scrape the skin of the burdock root lightly to retain its earthy aroma, then shave it into thin strips (sasagaki) and soak them briefly in water to remove any harsh bitterness.

Perfecting the Egg Topping

Pour the beaten eggs gently over the simmering eel and burdock. Cook until the eggs are softly set but still creamy, which pairs beautifully with the rich, savory eel.
