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».

Eel cap

Film

Diced eel, cucumber and avocado bound with Japanese mayonnaise and grated hard cheese.

Too much mayonnaise and the cap slides off under the grill; too little and it never browns. The ratio is the recipe.

Teriyaki glaze

Soy, mirin, sake and sugar reduced until it coats a spoon.

Bottled teriyaki is thin and sweet; this one is thick enough to stripe the cap and stay put.

WATCH BEFORE YOU SHOP

3 films · 15 min

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.

CHOOSING4:00

Hard cheese that melts without going oily

TECHNIQUE6:00

Building the cap so it stays on through the grill

KIT5:00

Top-grill distance, and doing it with a torch instead

METHOD

STEP BY STEP — 19 STEPS

16 photographed · 6 filmed

Written the way a restaurant writes a technical card: one operation per step, each with its own time and temperature. 16 of the 19 carry a photo of what it should look like at that moment, and 6 carry a short clip for the parts a still cannot show.

Hardest step: browning the cap before the rice underneath goes warm — step 11 of 19.
