Instructions

Cook the Japanese rice according to package instructions and keep warm.
In a small saucepan, combine the dashi, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is slightly thickened.
Preheat the broiler in your oven. Place the eel fillets on a baking sheet lined with foil and broil for 5-7 minutes until cooked through and slightly charred.
Brush the eel fillets with the sauce mixture and broil for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Divide the cooked rice among four bowls.
Place a grilled eel fillet on top of each bowl of rice.
Drizzle the remaining sauce over the eel fillets.
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve with pickled ginger on the side if desired.
Enjoy!
