I don't know whether people know this, but unagi can be purchased frozen. It's already cooked and just needs to be reheated. In my understanding, this is exactly what restaurants do -- they're not cooking it from scratch since it's a very specialized skill to prepare eel. They just heat it up and add a bit more unagi sauce (which can also be easily bought at a store). Plus, when bought at a market, it costs about half what you would pay at a restaurant! It's so much easier than you would think and it's exactly the same as unagi from a restaurant.

And hamachi kama isn't a food trend the Japanese people are just now discovering and eating. Japanese cooking rarely wastes anything, you'll be surprised that you can ask for fried shrimp heads from your shrimp sushi you ordered at some restaurants. They'll even fry the head and fishbone of the aji you ordered, and you can eat the head and the fish bone like it's a crackling. 😂 I'm Filipino but I regularly make nabitashi, nikujaga, tamago and agedashi tofu more so than Filipino dishes. 😂

So glad oyakodon was included. I make my own with onions and mushrooms. If it seems dry or bland, it might be using chicken breast. This dish, I think, is best with boneless, skinless thighs, either cut into bite size pieces or flattened, panko-fried, sliced and laid on top as the egg is added and cooked. Similar to katsudon which uses the fried pork cutlet (tonkatsu) instead of the chicken. For the juice, a quick trick, is sweet teriyaki mixed with chicken broth, so it doesn’t overwhelm the other flavors. And I always ask for a spoon, because I love the juice soaked rice, but it no longer sticks together for chopsticks. For me, you have to have the rice with unagi (unagidon). It is so good and rich, you need the rice. Kind of in the way caviar is eaten with toast.

The green 'wakame' salad that is found in most Japanese restaurants is not the real quality authentic wakame. The real one is flatter in shape and darker green in colour. Often the bright green strips that is found commonly labelled as wakame seaweed salads in restaurants around the world is made from another type of cheap seaweed or the base of wakame seaweed plant that has been cut and coloured bright green. It's full of preservatives and colourings. If you want the pure seaweed for the benefits use the dark green wakame (that looks black when dried) and when soaked in water turns into flat pieces.
