  • Braised rice eel Make Tips

    1. The mucus on the eel must be cleaned off thoroughly; otherwise, the sauce of the finished dish will turn cloudy, affecting its appearance. Scalding with boiling water is the most labor-saving method; it helps remove the fishy odor and ensures the eel remains tender without falling apart during cooking. 2. Garlic cloves are a must. While just a side ingredient, they effectively remove the fishy smell of the eel. Additionally, after being fried and then braised, the garlic loses its pungency, turning soft, sweet, and very delicious.
