Unagi Asparagus Roll
Tuna tuna tuna… so many tuna sushi recipes lately! What? I’m catching up for the entire year that I didn’t use any sashimi at all! 😀 A quick break though… it’s an unagi recipe today, and then it’s back to tuna! Mmmmm…
I love asparagus. That might not sound like anything special unless you know that I hate vegetables. Well, I used to at least. When I was little my parents used to make me (and my siblings… it wasn’t just me!) eat our vegetables before we ate the rest of our dinner! I’m getting much better though, not I’ll eat asparagus and most other vegetables without making horrible faces. 😀 So obviously, I had to put some asparagus in a roll, and what better companion than unagi? Seriously. It’s gooood.
Ingredients
Cooking Directions
- Cook sushi rice.

Mmm! Looks great! I’m enjoying your tuna series, but don’t give up on all of your unique creations! I loved seeing what you would come up with! 🙂
Mmm, I love asparagus… and unagi… I’ve been meaning to pick up more unagi for some bento 😉
Amy – Thanks! Oh, I’m not giving up, don’t worry! Plenty more on the way!
Yvo – You would love this! Yum… unagi…
I hope to pick up some unagi soon. Yvo … what do you use it for in your bento box?
Lara – http://feistybento.blogspot.com/search?q=unagi I make unagidon sometimes, or I make onigiri with it. I’ve only done that once but it was good – a tiny bit smushed into seasoned rice, with a dab of sauce, and so. freaking. good. It’s like, each bite is a bite of unagi don except with the right ratio of rice to eel to whatever you like in there 😉

I once had a roll with asparagus and cream cheese that I think was tempura fried. Ever made or had one like that? Am I missing anything that should be in it?
