    For anyone looking for the recipe/ratios:
    Equal parts washed (clear) rice to water
    Bring to boil, reduce to low for 15, turn off and steam for another 10
    Seasoned vinegar: 4 parts rice wine vinegar, 2 parts sugar, 1 part salt, small strip kombu
    Vinegar amount: 10%. So for 3 cups of uncooked rice, it's .3 cups vinegar
    Mix until coated, but don't overmix

    Chef makes this difficult process look effortless with his skill, but I can't be bitter/jealous because he's so kind, enthusiastic, and encouraging. Love his words at the end; no one has it good at the beginning, try with friends and family, and make it fun ❤.

    OMG MORIMOTO!!! This video makes my heart so happy!! I'm 33 now, and grew up watching the original Iron Chef show from Japan with English subtitles when they had it on one of the food networks here in the USA. I didn't like the American version as much, felt like it was trying a bit too hard to be as good as the original, but still watched for Morimoto. Morimoto was always my favorite Iron Chef out of all of them, I always rooted for him if he was on. If a contestant went against a different Iron Chef then I would root for the contestant lol. I have always wondered what he was up to, he looks so good! He used to have a much bigger face from what I recall, he looks really healthy and a bit slimmer, I hope I can look that good at that age. Much love and thank you for showing us your technique! Now I know what I've been doing wrong lol.

    Thank you Chef Morimoto. I have attempted the rolls you have demonstrated in the past. The results were ok for my family and friends. It has always been a bit intimidating for me as there is always a level of perfection that the home cook somehow seems to struggle to find. Thank you for reminding me that this is a life long pursuit, and most of all, fun. I am going to make Maki and Nigiri for my family tomorrow. ( Of course with a bowl of Miso :)) Please take care and stay well.
