Ingredients
- 50 g eel
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp erythritol
- 300 g cauliflower rice
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Method
- Combine soy sauce and erythritol in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously for 3-4 minutes until the erythritol dissolves and the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze, then remove from heat.
- Place the eel in the glaze and let it marinate for 10 minutes, turning once to ensure even coating.
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and arrange the glazed eel on a lined baking tray, brushing any remaining glaze generously over the top.
- Bake the eel for 20-25 minutes, brushing with additional glaze halfway through, until the surface is caramelized and the eel is cooked through.
- While the eel bakes, cook the cauliflower rice in a dry skillet over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until tender and any excess moisture has evaporated.
- Divide the cauliflower rice evenly among four bowls, top each with a portion of the glazed eel, and drizzle any remaining glaze from the baking tray over the top.
- Finish each bowl with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and serve immediately.
