  • We challenged chefs of three different skill levels - an amateur, a home cook, and a professional - to prepare their version of sushi. After each of them had presented their creation, we asked a food scientist to review their work. Which one would you wrap your chopsticks around?
    Check out the level 3 recipe on the ICE blog: www.ice.edu/blog/inside-out-s...

I'll just buy packs of plain fake crab sometimes because it's good and cheap and easily available.

    Hideyo's ratios really separate her from Lorenzo's level. Lorenzo packed the flavor in with extra steps but over stuffed the roll and crushed the rice. Hideyo used half the ingredients but utilized them in full with a perfect rice-to-filling ratio and fluffy rice.

      @Bryce Douglas Nonsense. Have you actually watched how the level 3 chefs typically produce their meals? No expert level sushi chef is going to pick powdered wasabi (which isn't even wasabi) over fresh wasabi. The only reason one chooses powdered is because it is cheap and easy, but if you're making high quality food cheap and easy are rarely the best. Expert sushi should have fresh wasabi, there's no excuse.
