Usage and dosage of grilled eel

1. Eel meat is fat and delicious. It can be fried, braised, stir-fried, steamed, stewed, and boiled in soup. For example, braised river eel and grilled eel.
2. The dried eel meat is called eel jerky. It can be soaked in water and cut into strips and put into soup. It tastes very good. The best quality eel jerky is produced in the coastal areas of Zhejiang. If it is not soaked in water, add Shaoxing wine, scallion knots, and ginger slices, steam it in a steamer for 15 minutes, and then remove the skin and bones. It tastes better.
3. Eel has a lot of fat. If you eat eel rice with a strong sauce, it will often cause excessive fat intake. If you care about your health, it is more reasonable to steam it to eliminate fat.
4. It is best to kill and cook eels immediately. Dead eels should not be eaten.
5. Tips for cleaning eels: Hook the eel with the middle finger joint of your left hand, then use a knife in your right hand to cut the eel's throat and anus, then insert a square bamboo chopstick into the cut in the throat and roll out the internal organs with force; dig out the fish gills with your hands, put the river eel into a large basin, pour in boiling water to soak it, wait for the mucus to solidify, then use a dry cloth or a knife to remove the eel's silver scales, and finally rinse it repeatedly with clean water several times.
