I've never heard of this man before.

....I instantly love him.

Ya man the Iron Chef teaching you how to cook rice on a stove top specifically because he knows that western households don't often have rice cookers, what a legend

"No one has it good in the beginning, try first."
he is truly an incredible teacher

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

Enjoy!

How to make an insanely difficult and delicate process look deceptively easy, by the legendary Masaharu Morimoto. I love this man.

Worked at one of his restaurants years ago and got to meet him several times. Really humble guy and watching him make sushi in person is like poetry in motion

His book "Mastering the Art of Japanese Home Cooking" changed my life. I recommend it to everyone who cooks. Every time I go to 'Morimoto' in Philadelphia I bring it with me in hopes that I can get him to sign it.

I’m a broke college student & its my first time living alone. I don’t really enjoy cooking that much specially if it takes a lot of time. & really really LOVE sushi sm but I can’t afford having takeouts everyday so i decided to make it myself. It was super easy it didn’t take me that long maybe around 30mins & it taste SOOO GOOD i felt so proud of myself. Thank u so much dude now its my go-to lunch

A very calm low-key explanation for the absolute beginner, where the variables are simplified and curated.
With this approach it seems as easy to prepare sushi rolls as making a sandwich :D

This man is 65
He looks and acts a decade younger than he is

When i first saw him on Iron Chef, he couldn’t speak Any English. Not a word

[JustLuvs]

I love how he says "you don't have to be good at it at first "🥺 what a sweet man

[GeneralAmador]

Man I can remember when I was little watching Chef Morimoto on Iron Chef, he was one of the driving forces for me to become a amateur chef. Seeing him do this reminded me of how big of a legend he is but also how simple and down to earth he is. Definitely gonna try this now.

Love Morimoto. Watched Iron Chef because of him. Such a wholesome, passionate, great soul. I'd really like to watch him cook with Masa. They are my favourite Japanese chefs. Thanks Munchies for bringing him here.

[DeliciousSingleLife]

[alisongeraldo]

There is no way on earth you can tell me that he isn't the cutest Chef ever.
