A portion of golden hot and sour shredded potato with a few red chili peppers, a portion of salt-and-pepper potato cubes, and a bowl of hot porridge. This was Innie and Farah's dinner.
"Mother, try it." Farah sat opposite Innie and looked at her expectantly.
This was the first time she had tried to cook by herself, and the process was very smooth. Apart from the slight stickiness at the beginning, there was no overall effect, and the dish was ready in one go.
The hot and sour aroma wafted over along with the hot steam, making one's mouth water.
"I didn't expect you to learn how to cook after just a few tries, Farah. This teacher is really amazing." Innie praised as she picked up a piece of shredded potato with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth.
The sourness and spiciness first intertwined and burst forth on the tip of the tongue, stimulating the taste buds intensely. The shredded potato was crisp and refreshing, bringing an indescribable sense of deliciousness.
"It's delicious!"
Innie's eyes instantly lit up as she looked at the brightly colored shredded potato in front of her in disbelief.
She rarely tasted delicious food in her life, but this portion of hot and sour shredded potato made her feel that it was even more delicious than the meat that she rarely had during festivals.
"Mother, what's wrong? Is it not delicious? "Farah looked at Innie, whose eyes were glistening with tears, and asked carefully.
"No." Innie sniffed and looked at Farah with gratification. "It's too delicious! This is the most delicious food I've ever eaten. "
Farah's face gradually blossomed with a smile. She had never heard such praise from her mother before.
Furthermore, looking at her mother's teary eyes, the meaning of Farah learning to cook suddenly became clear at this moment.
Wasn't it the best reason to let her mother eat delicious food and let her live a better life?
"Then you have to eat more." Farah also picked up her chopsticks and began to eat, tasting the shredded potato first.
The crispy, sour, and spicy shredded potato was refreshing and delicious, and went especially well with rice!
However, to Farah, she felt that something was still missing. The texture of the shredded potato was a little lacking, probably due to the heat control when it was put into the pot. The vinegar taste was a little too strong, and the spiciness was probably a little too strong for her mother. She didn't expect the small chili to be so spicy.
"I should be able to do better next time," Farah thought to himself.
What Meg Sensei said was indeed correct. Cooking required constant trial and practice to find their own problems in practice, and then improve again.
As for the salt and pepper potatoes, the taste was not bad, but it was not as outstanding as the sour and spicy shredded potatoes.
Meg had only announced the recipe for this dish and did not demonstrate it on the spot. Farah's first replication did not seem to be very successful, as her control of the salt and pepper was not very good.
However, the mother and daughter were still very satisfied with this dinner. Half a pot of porridge was finished, and there were only a few dried chilies left in the two portions of potatoes.
Farah had completed her first cooking show. It wasn't perfect, but she was satisfied with it.
…
"Oh! My god, my child, the shredded potatoes you made are too delicious! It's … it's almost on par with your father's cooking! "
Inside a simple stone house, a skinny middle-aged woman was looking at Beck, who was sitting across from her. The chopsticks in her hand were trembling because of her excitement.
And on the table in front of them, there was a portion of sour and spicy shredded potatoes that did not look very good.
The thickness of the shredded potatoes was not uniform enough, and it should be because the heat was overheated. The originally long shredded potatoes had become small strips of different lengths, and they broke with a pinch.
However, this still could not stop the woman's excitement.
Beck, who was originally a little depressed, raised his head and looked at the woman in surprise. "Mother, do … do you think these shredded potatoes are delicious?"
"Yes, this is the most delicious food I've ever eaten. It's sour and spicy. It's simply too delicious." His mother smiled and nodded. She picked up another shredded potato with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth. Then, she quickly ate two mouthfuls of rice and swallowed it before continuing, "It's really too appetizing."
Beck took a bite skeptically. The sour taste was a little strong, and the spicy taste was even stronger. The moment he took a bite, he almost burst into tears. He hurriedly ate two mouthfuls of rice to suppress the taste.
This was a completely different dish from the sour and spicy shredded potatoes made by Sensei Meg when he was in school …
However, just as his mother said, the taste was a little strong, but it was indeed too appetizing.
"Mother, the difference between my cooking and Sensei's is huge." Beck put down his chopsticks and was a little depressed and disappointed.
"Silly child, this is the first time you've made this dish. It's already very good that you can make it like this." His mother put down her chopsticks and gently reached out to pat Beck's head. She smiled and said, "I haven't eaten your teacher's sour and spicy shredded potatoes, but I think your sour and spicy shredded potatoes are really delicious. It's better than any of the dishes I've made."
Beck looked at his mother and a smile appeared on his face. He nodded and said, "Yes, I'll definitely make it better and better."
"Of course, we still have a bag of potatoes. We'll eat sour and spicy shredded potatoes every night in the future." His mother nodded with a smile.
"Mother, can you tell me more about Father? How did he become a chef in the first place? "
"Your father back then …"
…
After Meg used the sour and spicy shredded potatoes in his teaching class, he released this cheap new dish in the restaurant that night. It was a new addition to the vegetarian menu.
"Today's new dish: sour and spicy shredded potatoes, 108 RMB per serving!"
"It's been a long time since a new dish with such a low price appeared. I feel like I can try it with my eyes closed."
"It's sour and spicy. Blind guessing is a good dish to go with the meal. Here comes the good news for gluttons."
Looking at the small blackboard hanging at the door, the customers were already discussing among themselves.
"Boss, why is such a delicious sour and spicy shredded potato only 108 RMB?" Yabemiya ate the shredded potatoes and looked at Meg with a puzzled expression.
The girls all looked at Meg. This price was indeed a little different from the price of the other dishes on the menu.
"The price is set according to the ingredients and the difficulty of cooking. I've always been very reasonable in my pricing. This is the price that should be," Meg said calmly.
Each serving of sour and spicy shredded potatoes required two potatoes, three chili peppers, half a spoonful of vinegar, four cloves of garlic, twelve peppers, and a little oil. The cooking method was simple and efficient, so the price of 108 RMB was very reasonable.
"I also want a bowl of rice." Amy put down her empty bowl and blinked.
"You want an extra bowl today?" Meg took the bowl with a smile and went to get some rice.
"Yes, yes. Today's shredded potatoes are so delicious. I want an extra bowl." Amy nodded her little head.
"I … I also want another bowl." Little Guai put down his bowl as well. There were still two grains of rice on his cheeks.
