Unagi Temaki


Got this idea from Sakae Sushi. Not difficult.


Ingredients
1 packet of ready roasted teriyaki unagi which has 2 halves of an unagi
1 cup of cooked rice, cooled
1/2 Japanese cucumber, sliced up. You can also use a mandolin into thin shreds
4 sheets of sea weed (nori)
Wasabe (optional)

Method
1) Cook the rice and let it cool. Warm up a packet of ready roasted unagi and slice it once in half length-wise, and another time down the spin. You will get basically quarters of 1 unagi.
2) Cut up the sheet of nori into roughly a palm-size square. Roll it up like a kachang puteh wrapper. Fill it up with rice to fill the bottom, then slide in 1 quarter of the unagi.
3) Slice up the cucumber or shred it with a mandolin. I just got lazy, after all, its a late weekday dinner. Slide it in as well.
4) Take the sauce from the unagi packet and sancho and serve as dipping sauce. Wasabe is optional.
5) Serve and eat immediately, otherwise the seaweed gets soggy and chewy.
