Unadon

This is essentially a Japanese donburi (rice bowl) dish made with unagi kabayaki which is grilled eel coated with sweet sauce. This is actually incredibly easy assuming you have the eel already made for you. One can pick up an entire fillet of this eel for anywhere from $2.50 when it's on sale to about $4 or $5 when it's not. I got mine at Market World (Korean) but other Asian markets probably carry these. You simply defrost, throw in the toaster oven, and there you have it! It pains me when I see these things being offered at Japanese restaurants for the likes of $15 for about half or 2/3 the amount. Here I have this served over a blend of long white Jasmine and French Akai rice and simple steamed broccoli.
