Keto Unagi Burger

The Keto Unagi Burger combines the rich flavors of grilled eel with fresh, crisp vegetables and a savory keto-friendly sauce, all nestled in a bed of lettuce instead of a traditional bun. This mouthwatering dish offers a unique twist on a burger while adhering to a low-carb lifestyle.

Ingredients

• Grilled unagi (eel) - 200 grams
• Butter lettuce leaves - 4 large leaves
• Cucumber - 1 small, thinly sliced
• Radish - 4 slices, thinly sliced
• Avocado - 1 small, sliced
• Mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce (low sodium) - 1 tablespoon
• Sriracha - 1 teaspoon
• Sesame seeds - 1 teaspoon
• Green onions - 1 tablespoon, chopped

Steps

1. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
2. If the unagi is not pre-cooked, grill it for about 3-4 minutes on each side until heated through.
3. While the unagi is grilling, prepare the sauce by mixing mayonnaise, soy sauce, and sriracha in a small bowl.
4. Once the unagi is cooked, assemble the burger by placing two butter lettuce leaves on a plate.
5. Layer the grilled unagi on top of the lettuce leaves.
6. Add sliced cucumber, radish, and avocado on top of the unagi.
7. Drizzle the prepared sauce over the toppings, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
8. Top with another lettuce leaf to create a 'top bun' and serve immediately.
