What you'll learn today — Fish & Sauces

  • Knife work — claw grip, anchored board, even cuts (cucumber, capsicum, tomato, onion). Chef can do extra lesson on cutting with wombok and or or spring onion so they can learn the cutting properly. 
  • Dressings — balancing oil and acid, and dressing leaves just before serving so they stay crisp.
  • Rice — the rinse-and-rest rice cooker method and the right water ratio.
  • Sauce — reducing soy, mirin, sugar and ginger into a glossy teriyaki glaze.
  • Pan-frying fish — salmon skin-side down if using for a crisp finish, cooked to just-done.
  • Steaming veg — just-tender and bright, not soft.
  • Plating and timing — bringing it all together with the glaze and a scatter of sesame.
