Ingredients

  • 500g Unagi (grilled eel)
  • 500g Stinky Chinese Perch (cleaned and filleted)
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha (adjust to your spice preference)
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt
  • 100g Lichen (cleaned and blanched)
  • 2 cups Cooked rice (for serving)
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
  • Chopped scallions and sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Sriracha, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until creamy and set aside.
  2. If using pre-cooked unagi, simply warm it up on a grill or in a pan. If starting from scratch, grill the unagi over medium heat for about 5 minutes on each side until heated through and slightly crispy.
  3. Season the perch fillets with salt and a dash of soy sauce. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add sesame oil. Cook the perch for about 3-4 minutes on each side until it is golden and cooked through.
  4. In the same pan, toss in the blanched lichen and sauté for about 2 minutes until warmed and slightly crispy. Season lightly with salt.
  5. In each serving bowl, place a generous scoop of cooked rice. Top with pieces of grilled unagi and the sautéed stinky Chinese perch.
  6. Drizzle the spicy mayonnaise over the fish. Add the sautéed lichen on top and garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds for an extra crunch.
