Palm Leaf Fish Garnish

Welcome back to another cooking video. Im Chef Devaux and today Im going to
teach you how to make a very simple little garnish out of just a palm tree leaf that
will look stunning on any sushi platter. Okay lets get right into it, lets get
going! Okay to make this garnish youre going to
need a palm leaf like this and you just want to tear off one of the strips like so. Now here Im just going to cut the end off,
there we go.

Now youre going to need two of these. Before you start getting to making the garnish
youre going to want to remove the little stringy bits and clean these before you get
to any making of the garnish. Okay, so now youve done that, just place
one between your thumb and your index finger and make a loop, make sure its big enough
and then you make a second loop and hold it all together with your index finger. Now you want to take the second strip and
just feed it in through the middle and going through the outside of the first loop and
feed it in 80% of the way through.

Then you want to go through the inside and
the outside of the opposite side, just like that. Im just going to feed it in a little bit
more, there we go. And now you want to go through the outside
and then the inside, and then you want to do the same on the other side. So again you go on the outside and then the
inside.

There we go thats basically it. Now all you have to do is just tighten this
up. So you want to pull on the excesses here and
you just keep pulling and threading it through and just moving it about until youve compressed
the inside and taken all the slack out of it. Once youve done that it will hold together
in one piece, so just a little bit more, this is just a little bit fidgety but you get through
it and just keep going.

There we go, thats it. Now you just need to do a little bit of trimming
to finish it off. I like to do a little zigzag pattern on the
inside fins like this, it gives it a little bit of a fishy vibe and I think it really
adds to the design. Okay so do the same on the opposite side,
just like that  okay great, and now Im going to do just a straight cut for the outer
fins, there we go and thats it.

Thats how simple it is to make a palm leaf
into a fish design that you can use for garnishing your sushi platters or any other dish. Alright, I hope you enjoyed seeing how to
make this simple little garnish. If you want to check out some more of my garnishes,
