🍣 ABOUT THE SUSHI MAN:
Jun Nakajima, CHEF AND FOUNDER
Raised in a restaurant household, Jun's love for food began at a very early age. His parents have owned and operated a Japanese restaurant for over 30 years where he practiced and honed his culinary skills.
Somewhat forced upon, he was taught the art of sushi making in his teenage years. He quickly fell in love not only with the art but the endless opportunities that came with it.
He has traveled around the globe to try different styles of sushi, most importantly to Japan.
After college, Jun had taken an opportunity to live in the motherland of sushi, working for something completely outside the culinary field. In those two years his appreciation of the culture, people, history and food deepened.
He became addicted to the food scene and found himself traveling from one end of the island to the other, eating and drinking some of the best foods and drinks he's ever had. This experience became the seed which eventually bloomed to become The Sushi Man.

Please don't stop and keep doing these videos and I'm pretty sure your channel will get the attention it deserves. Speaking of ideas for future videos that I'd love to see: - guide through different asian (particularly japanese) spices/sauces and how to use them - japanese knives, types, their applications/ cutting techniques for sashimi

Don't worry about the Hondashi, I mentioned it towards the end because it's an optional ingredient and it tastes just as great without it.

Hi UnnamedBridgeburner, honestly I have never made shio konbu myself, I usually just buy the packages at my local Asian store. I know Amazon carries a bunch of different brands as well, Fujicco and Kurakon are some of the more popular ones. Props to you though for trying to make it yourself!

@davemeyers9425 Ай бұрын

I thought unagi sauce is more viscous than what you made? I have made teriyaki sauce with roasted chicken bones , I think the chicken stock is an interesting spin on that recipe. Thanks for sharing!

@TheSushiMan Ай бұрын

It becomes a lot thicker when you let it cool fully. You can also simmer it on low heat for longer to thicken it more. Hope that helps!

@chungt6702 6 ай бұрын

Hello The Sushi Man i love your video ........what happen if you do add garlic and ginger will it be better ? just asking 😏

@TheSushiMan 6 ай бұрын

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video! You can definitely add ginger and garlic but be careful not to overdo it because they both have strong flavors that can overpower the overall flavor. It also depends on what you're primarily using the sauce for. If you plan to make more teriyaki chicken style dishes then ginger and garlic can enhance the flavor but if you plan to use it for unagi mostly then those things can possibly be a negative. But all in all it's personal preference. Hope that helps!

Forget buying chicken stock just for 2 tablespoons. Once opened, the entire container must be used within days, or it goes bad. Instead, buy a small jar of Knorr Chicken Bouillon powder. It has _tons_ of uses, it keeps forever, and you would only need to add a pinch in this recipe. _You're welcome._

@TheSushiMan 3 ай бұрын

Good tip! You can also freeze chicken stock in smaller batches if you want to keep it longer.

Hello Sushi Man. Are there any non-alcoholic alternatives to the Sake and the Rice Wine ?

@TheSushiMan 2 ай бұрын

Hi, there is non-alcohol mirin such as Mizkan Honteri (it should say non-alcohol on the label). A non-alcoholic substitute for sake is a bit tougher. The best is to burn off all the alcohol in the sake or you can use some dashi stock, which you can learn in this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/raxypK2lld2mqGw.html. Hope that helps!

@karenwong6634 8 ай бұрын

Can you post here sir the complete recipe

@TheSushiMan 7 ай бұрын

Hi Karen, sure here you go! 1/2 cup mirin 2 Tbsp sake 6 Tbsp sugar 2 Tbsp chicken stock 1/2 cup soy sauce Basically mix everything besides the soy sauce over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Then add in the soy sauce and bring it to a boil. After it starts boiling, turn down the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. Then cool it down, the sauce will thicken while it cools. Hope that helps!

@sroxy549 Жыл бұрын

Can you make unagi? Also, how do you choose your fish when making sushi?

@TheSushiMan Жыл бұрын

Hi Sroxy549, how to choose fish for sushi is one of the most common questions I get, I actually have a entire chapter about it in my book. It's a lot more than what I can explain here but very simply put; know and trust your source (reputable market), color (should be vibrant and not dull/gray), texture and overall look (no gashes, holes, dark spots, sliminess, etc.), smell (shouldn't have a strong fishy smell but more so a sweet ocean breeze scent). Those are just some of the basic ways to tell the quality of the fish. Depending on where you live, good "sushi grade" fish shouldn't be hard to come by but if you're in an area without much seafood then look into some online seafood vendors. I've heard good things about Riviera Seafood Club and also Catalina Offshore, though I've never tried them myself (maybe in a future video). Sorry if that was too much info at once, hope it helps though!

@Reepecheep 9 ай бұрын

I'm still confused the difference between the concept of Teriyaki and Unagi sauses. Your saying they use the same ingredients, but googling it says they are quite different flavors. Could you clarify?

@TheSushiMan 8 ай бұрын

Hi Reepecheep, the very basic, core ingredients of both sauces are the same, which are: soy sauce, sake, mirin, and sugar. Now a lot of teriyaki sauce recipes will add different spices like garlic, ginger, etc. but unagi sauce typically doesn't. The only thing I would add to the unagi sauce is that Hondashi like how I explain in the video, but is totally optional. You can use my recipe as a base and always add things to your liking. Hope that helps!

I love how simple Asian food really is. Rice, veggies and protein of some form cooked in a simple way but the variety cones from the sauces! The French are amateur compared to Asia when it comes to saucing their foods.
