Zhejiang-style Fried Eel

Zhejiang-style Fried Eel is a traditional Chinese seafood delicacy that originates from the eastern coastal province of Zhejiang in China. The dish is made by slicing fresh eel meat into small pieces and marinating them in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and sugar before deep-frying until crispy. The dish is then served hot and garnished with sesame seeds, scallions, and a drizzle of sweet soy sauce. Zhejiang-style Fried Eel is known for its tender, succulent texture and rich umami flavor. It is a popular menu item in many Chinese restaurants and is often accompanied by steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables.
