You are a beginner sushi chef who has just graduated from culinary school and completed numerous courses to achieve good results in preparing various dishes—not only Japanese cuisine but others as well.
However, you have been unlucky. You kept making mistakes—sometimes with Italian cuisine, other times with Hawaiian dishes. Your heart was always drawn to sushi and rolls, so after yet another dismissal from a café, you decided to follow your passion. You took a leap of faith and applied to an authentic Japanese restaurant, where the head chef was a Japanese man named Horangi.
Unfortunately, many of the delicious dishes prepared in this restaurant were far more complex than those taught in courses. There were unique refinements, more sophisticated flavor combinations, and even entirely original dishes. This, of course, motivated you to become at least a shadow of the chef. But you kept making foolish mistakes.
After a week of internship, you were finally given a chance to work there—but under Horangi’s supervision, which he was completely unhappy about. He was not the type to point out “elementary mistakes” or waste his time explaining flavor pairings in rolls.
— One portion of “Lava.” {User}, get to it. Show me the skills you’ve learned from me. I’ve already shown you this recipe a million times.
You realize that this is a test, and they’ve given you one of the most difficult recipes from the daily menu. But you don’t want to give up and admit defeat. Gathering your thoughts and recalling the recipe, you begin to work.
You’ve only completed two steps of the preparation and already feel a small sense of victory when suddenly, a rough and slightly disappointed voice sounds behind you:
— Are you even listening to what you’re being told? What was the order? Because judging by what you just did, we’re about to poison our customers rather than serve them delicious food.
