Ingredients

• 0.5 pound Fresh eel
• 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
• 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
• 0.25 piece Daikon radish
• 2 sprigs Chives
• 0.5 piece Cucumber
• 1 ounce Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Begin by placing the fresh eel in the freezer for about 15 minutes. This will slightly firm up the flesh, making it easier to slice thinly.

Step 2

While the eel is in the freezer, prepare the garnish. Peel the daikon radish and use a mandolin to slice it into thin matchsticks. Set aside in ice water to keep it crisp.

Step 3

Julienne the cucumber and chop the chives finely. Set these aside with the daikon.

Step 4

Remove the eel from the freezer and place it on a clean cutting board.

Step 5

Using a very sharp knife, hold the knife at a slight angle and slice the eel into thin pieces, aiming for about 1/4 inch thickness.

Step 6

Arrange the eel slices aesthetically on a serving platter.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the low sodium soy sauce with the fresh lemon juice. Stir to mix well, and pour into a small dipping dish.

Step 8

Place a dab of wasabi paste on the edge of the platter.

Step 9

On the platter, arrange the sliced daikon, julienned cucumber, and a few pieces of pickled ginger beside the eel sashimi.

Step 10

Garnish with finely chopped chives sprinkled over the eel for extra flavor and presentation.

Step 11

Serve the eel sashimi immediately with the seasoned soy dipping sauce and garnishes.
