Shanghai-style braised eel in sizzling oil. The eel intestines were removed, making it very clean. Although it was frozen, the meat quality is slightly inferior to that of freshly killed eel, but it's still delicious when made into braised eel in sizzling oil.

It's delicious with both salty and sweet flavors, and can be served after heating.
