Unagi, or know as Eel can be found in most Japanese restaurant here. It can be so delicious be it a slice on top of a sushi, in a bento box and most important it must be eaten with that sweet teriyaki sauce and rice! But do you know Unagi fish fats is rather higher than an ordinary fish, therefore when it is grilled with thick sweet sauce and flavorings, it might contain more excessive fats than you know. Another healthy way is to steam it to reduce and eliminate the fats off. Since you have tried grill Unagi on its own, have you try using them in fried rice?

你也是爱吃鳗鱼的粉丝吗？每次到日本餐厅的时候，小编都喜欢点鳗鱼套餐以解对鳗鱼的馋呢！最喜欢就是烤鳗鱼了，烤的时候配上日式蜜汁酱，吃起来鳗鱼肉有点浓浓的，配上白饭一碗，感觉真棒！

你可知道鳗鱼的油脂含量颇多，若以味道浓厚的调味汁做成烤鳗鱼然后配上饭食用时，往往会造成脂肪的摄取分量过多，如果想减少脂肪摄取过多，那可以以一般健康的方式，就是以蒸来消除脂肪。

鳗鱼通常拿来烤，那你有吃过鳗鱼炒饭吗？
