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».

Rice base

Film

Short-grain rice cooked in a little water until it bursts, then simmered slowly in milk.

Rice put straight into milk never softens properly; the water stage is what breaks the grain open first.

Mastic and rice flour finish

Rice flour slaked cold and stirred in, with ground mastic added at the very end off the heat.

Mastic boiled turns resinous and bitter; added last it gives the faint pine-and-vanilla note that marks a Turkish sutlac.

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 — 15 STEPS

12 photographed · 4 filmed

Written the way a restaurant writes a technical card: one operation per step, each with its own time and temperature. 12 of the 15 carry a photo of what it should look like at that moment, and 4 carry a short clip for the parts a still cannot show.

Hardest step: colouring the top without setting the middle — step 9 of 15.

The chef's hidden note

The starch balance between rice and rice flour, and the oven position that colours the top before the custard sets hard.
