  • Professional chef Taka Sakaeda, owner of Nami Nori, and home cook Gabi are swapping tempura recipes and hitting the kitchen! We set Gabi up with the finest ingredients from chef Taka’s kitchen along with his $311 tempura recipe. Meanwhile over on the other side, chef Sakaeda was taking Gabi's simpler instructions and remixing them up to gourmet status. Which tempura looks most tempting to you?
