I have been a in the restaurant business for years, I have run award winning restaurants, but I have also been a KP, a bartender, waiter and worked on a line. I wish I would have worked with Andy he has the tone of voice that I would have responded to well. Keep these videos coming man. You make high end cuisine look accessable and simple. Legend. The whole team that put these videos out should be so proud. I loved it t when people would come to my restaurant and tell me how good everything was, people should be so much more vocal about what they enjoy and appreciate. Well done all of you. ❤

There is also an awesome technique of scoring the top part of the prawn slightly and pressing it down lightly. It maintains a straight shape when you deep fry it and helps the cooking because it release more water and you get a less soggy prawn (though that could be only a problem when you tempura batter it).

For Western sushi, it tastes much better with just regular mayo than using Japanese mayo for the spicy mayo. Try it out and see for yourself. The extra egg taste in Kew Pew Mayo muffles the taste of the siracha significantly whereas with regular American mayo the flavors are not clear and bold especially the sweet chili sauce that is part of that is usually part of the sauce. Regular mayo, siracha, and sweet chili sauce is how we've made it in several of my extended family's American sushi restaurants and no matter what sushi place you work at in the US, the recipe is pretty much the same. I love kew pew but it's just best on it's own instead of part of a sauce

In North America you can use frozen fish from the super market! Especially salmon! Just make sure it was flash frozen and has been frozen for a certain amount of time. I forget the amount but it’s an easy google to find out what qualifies fish to be OK for sushi!
