Braised Eel
Braised eel isn't an everyday dish in our home, but whenever it appears on the table, both kids fight over it. The flesh is delicate and tender, with just a single large bone running down the center—ideal for children. Red-braised in a rich, glossy sauce of dark soy and caramelized sugar, it's perfectly balanced between salty and sweet. Spooned over rice, the kids happily finish two big bowls. Here's the simple, delicious recipe to share with you.
