2 RECIPES INSIDE THIS RECIPE

Each with its own weights, steps and timings

The sauce, the cure, the dough, the dressing — a restaurant makes these itself, and so will you. Every one below is a full sub-recipe: its own ingredient list, its own method, its own yield and shelf life. Nothing says «use shop-bought».

Ink rice

Film

Seasoned sushi rice with cuttlefish ink folded in while still warm, until every grain is black.

Ink added to cold rice sits in streaks. Added hot it takes evenly, and the vinegar keeps the taste clean.

Apple batons

Green apple cut to matchsticks on a mandoline and held in lemon water until the roll is built.

Apple browns in minutes once cut. The lemon water buys half an hour, and the acid is wanted against the salmon anyway.

WATCH BEFORE YOU SHOP

Most of what goes wrong is decided at the counter, before you cook anything. These are filmed by the chef: what to buy, how to tell it is good, and how to set your own kitchen up for it.

METHOD

STEP BY STEP — 16 STEPS

13 photographed · 5 filmed

Written the way a restaurant writes a technical card: one operation per step, each with its own time and temperature. 13 of the 16 carry a photo of what it should look like at that moment, and 5 carry a short clip for the parts a still cannot show.

Hardest step: keeping the apple pale until the roll is cut — step 10 of 16.

The chef's hidden note

How much ink goes into warm rice so it stains evenly without tasting of the sea, and how thin the apple is cut.
