Eel w/ Rice!

1. Broiled Eel (Made in Taiwan, farm raised)
2. Teriyaki sauce (soy sauce, mirin, rice wine, ginger, brown sugar, maple syrup)
3. Fresh wasabi
4. sesame seed
5. white pepper
6. Nori & fish flakes
7. red chili peper flakes

1. since the Eel is cooked already... all you need to do is to sprinkle all the above ingredients on top of the Eel , and drizzle some teriyaki sauce! Then pop it into microwave for 2 min, it will be SIZZLING HOT!

2. place the Eel on top of a bowl of rice (Japanese rice)

3. to be fancy, add some seaweed (see how it's made in one of my previous posts) on the side...
be careful, cuz you will definitely eat a LOT of rice, cuz this Eel & Rice is SOOOOO GOOD!!


** When I was little, Eel w/ rice was an expensive treat, sometimes my Mom would take me to the Jap. bento box restaurant and ordered this dish, but since it's Not cheap, so I didnt eat often! but Now, it's fairly cheap, if you just get it from market (during discount days).


Japanese like to eat Eel with rice during summer time, cuz they believe that Eel is very rich in flavor and has a lot of nutrients (Vitamine A & E, Omega 3, proteins, etc.). Since it's very HOT in summer, so it's best to eat Eel to boost up our energy!

** Taiwan USED to be the Largest farm raised fresh water Eel export, But recent years, it seems like the market is occupied by that stupid china!!
so recent years, when I went to market to get some Eel, it's always from china!! (Oh I hate china!) And the eels from china is a lot cheaper... yeh you wonder why HUH?! This is RED FLAG WARNING when you see something sooo cheap esp. it's from china!! Cheap doesnt mean it's gooood! (but most people dont care, cuz they care more about the money left in their pocket, not the Quality of the food!)


I feel VERY UNSAFE to eat ANY product from china, cuz they are famous in their POISONS in many of their products!! They'd add a lot of Extra preservatives, chemical stuff, Dirty stuff, heavy metals, .... Yeh any crazy thing you can imagine, they have their ways to add into them!!

Plus the factory or the places that made those foods or products are Dirty and Disgusting as HELL!! If you dont die from those poisons, you'll have very serious food Poisoning!!

Even though china is a HUGE market, and that everyone wants a piece of it.
BUT why they have to add sooo many Extra FLAVORS into the foods and other products??
yeh just cuz they dont eat them themselves, it doesnt mean they can do business like that!!

I'm Sure that they can SLEEP TIGHT at Nite!! (being sarcastic...)
