Cooking StepsHow to cook Air Fryer Roasted Eel step by step

Step 1 Detail

Blanch the eel briefly in hot water to remove the surface slime. Scrape off the slime, then use a knife to separate the flesh from the backbone. Cut the eel meat into small segments.
Step 2 Detail

Make the marinade: combine 2 tablespoons light soy sauce, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon white liquor (other spirits work too, but white liquor is preferred), 1-2 tablespoons honey, and white sugar to taste. Add more sugar if you like a sweeter flavor — the sweetness rounds out the overall taste, so don’t skip it entirely.
Step 3 Detail

Toss the eel segments with the marinade until evenly coated. Marinate for 30 minutes. If the weather is hot, refrigerate during marinating.
Step 4 Detail

Place the eel in the air fryer and cook at 180°C (356°F) for 8 minutes. Flip the pieces over and cook for another 8 minutes. Serve immediately.
