Step 2: The fish
Unagi is served warm. Heating in the microwave for 1 minute.
Step 3: Forming the sushi
Moisten your hands in a bowl of water. This will stop the rice sticking to your fingers.
Pick up a little of the rice and form it into an oblong shape. Nigiri literally means hand shaped
Place the unagi on top of the rice, then position a strip of nori across the centre of the fish. Pick the parcel up by pinching either side, then seal the two ends of the nori together.

Lightly brush with kabayaki sauce, this is a sweet dressing.
