Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Buri bop

    • Rinshin on October 17, 2018

      I love buri/hamachi and bibimbop so really wanted to try this without going the way of individual presentation served at his restaurant. Used #10 cast iron skillet for 2 servings. This pan will handle up to 4 servings. Mounded two rice mounds onto the skillet when piping hot and arranged all components around each mound then quickly seared the fish slices. Made a small hole in each rice and placed egg yolk into the hole and stir the whole thing up to incorporate. Next time forget the two perfect rice mounds and stir everything up to cook in hot skillet after searing the fish for simplicity. Excellent taste. Love the garlic soy sauce along with 3 vegetable sides in this recipe which was much like bibimbop

  • Sesame oil-marinated spinach

    • Rinshin on October 17, 2018

      Simple and tasty bop and poke rice bowl companion,

  • Marinated royal fern

    • Rinshin on October 17, 2018

      Another popular Japanese side dish not seen much outside of Japan. Wonderful companion to bap and poke donburi.

  • Pickled daikon and carrot

    • Rinshin on October 17, 2018

      Very simple and popular Japanese New Years food which tastes great used in bop or poke rice bowls.

  • Morimoto bouillabaisse

    • Rinshin on November 19, 2016

      Delicious! Outstanding served with chilled good quality sake such as junmai ginjos. I used frozen lobster broth I had on hand as well as as more lobster and shrimp shells to make the broth. Skipped on fish stock. Used seafood I had which were lobster, shrimp and large scallops. Added maetake, shitake and shimeji mushrooms. Greens consisted of Japanese negi (thick long green onion aka Tokyo negi) and komatsuna (Japanese mustard green). Reduced the amount of kochijan to 1/2 mixed with two types of miso. Added tsp of koji powder to the stock. Served tabletop - perfect on cool rainy night. Photo added

  • Braised black cod

    • lorloff on March 25, 2022

      We really enjoyed this recipe we ended up cutting it in half because we wanted A smaller quantity of sauce and it worked really well the technique was great and quite delicious I thought the proportions within the sauce were great I didn’t think it was too sweet but we made much less sauce than the recipe calls for which I recommend. Will make again.

    • Rinshin on February 10, 2019

      Like other recipes of Chef Morimoto, the technique for this braised fish is superb and instructions precise. But, I knew the amount of sugar was too much for my taste, and reduced the sugar by half. The sauce is dark, maybe tad too dark for my taste. I think the amount of soy sauce too can be reduced. We did however enjoy this version of black cod nitsuke very much. it went very well with steamed white rice to balance the stronger taste and the flavorful sauce.

  • Garlic-soy jus

    • Rinshin on October 17, 2018

      Excellent sauce that can be used in many Japanese styled food including buri bop or seared beef, pork, or chicken.

Morimoto is a rock star, an icon figure in Asian Fusion, an original atop a heap of imitators, and like a rock star, one of the only chefs - maybe the ONLY chef - who needs just one name. Accept no substitutes! - Anthony Bourdain

"Just like in his genius restaurants in Philly and NYC, where the food is juicy, provocative, and a wild fun house in my mouth, Morimoto makes revolutionary food simple to prepare in this excellent and inspired book." - Mario Batali

When I got to know Chef Morimoto, I understood that besides cooking with your brain, your heart, and your hands, you can also cook with your soul. - Ferran Adria

Morimoto's cooking has distinctive Japanese roots, yet it's actually, as the chef calls it, "global cooking for the 21st century. Morimoto's unique cuisine is characterized by beautiful Japanese color combinations and aromas, while the preparation infuses multicultural influences such as traditional Chinese spices and simple Italian ingredients, presented in a refined French style. Bringing all these elements home, with helpful step-by-step instructions and gorgeous photography, this accessible book explains Chef Morimoto's cooking techniques and plating philosophies and brings Japanese cooking to your own home.
