Braised Eel Sections
Eel segments are braised in a glossy soy sauce with garlic, ginger and a touch of sugar. The rich glaze coats each piece, yielding tender meat with a deep, savory sweetness.
Instructions
- 1
Clean the eel segments, make a cut horizontally on the back to allow the flavor to penetrate. Rinse with hot water to remove mucus and reduce the fishy smell.
- 2
Cut the cucumber into sections and slice it open. Prepare some small yellow ginger and sections of green onion.
- 3
Heat the wok before adding cold oil, then add sliced ginger when the meat is 60% cooked.
- 4
When the oil is at 80% heat, add the eel sections and change to medium heat to pan-fry slowly. After frying until the surface is golden yellow, add salt, cooking wine, and hot water to braise.
