Sea Smoke Uramaki
My favourite home-made uramaki: fried shrimp and avocado wrapped beneath flame-seared salmon, finished with teriyaki glaze and ikura. Fat, smoke, sweetness, salinity, and texture layered just deliciously.

My Sushi Mindset
In my vision, sushi isn't "cooked"—it's engineered. To succeed at home, you must shift from a cook’s mindset to an assembly lead. Timing is everything but the secret is in the preliminary flow. Once rice is ready and the mise en place is set, your rolls are already half-finished.
Sushi Rice
Sushi rice is foundational—when mishandled, the entire preparation fails. In Japan, apprentices focus on it before anything else. This method provides a reliable process for consistent results. Requires a rice cooker and careful timing.
