Sizzling Eel丝Fried eel threads in hot oil is a Chinese dish primarily made with eel. To prepare it, eel is sliced into thin strips and marinated with seasonings such as scallions, ginger, and garlic. Next, the eel strips are quickly stir-fried in hot oil to maintain their tender texture. Finally, hot oil is poured over the dish to enhance the aroma of the eel, resulting in a bright red color and rich, fragrant flavor.
