Chapter 195: Side Dishes
The porridge is already in the pot, and the next step is to prepare the side dishes to go with it.

Kagawa looked at the dazzling array of ingredients in the kitchen and began to think about what to cook.

What are the classic side dishes for porridge in the 21st century? After a brainstorm, the only ones that came to her mind were Wujiang pickled mustard tuber and fermented bean curd.

The former is not impossible to do, but it will definitely not be done in time. As for the latter... tofu is very expensive nowadays.

When in doubt, go to the market - if there are no markets nowadays, then look at the list of ingredients in the warehouse.

Kagawa opened the inventory list of the warehouse, took a quick look around, and gradually some ideas came to his mind.

"Don't just stand there and watch, come over and help!"

Kagawa said as he quickly assigned the tasks.

When they heard that there was something to do, everyone in Class 8 of Grade 1 was eager to try.

The ingredients were brought over by the kitchen AI in a short while.

Kagawa picked up a cucumber and started slicing it.

As she was cutting, she reminded Ouyang Yating and Liang Gong beside her: "Cut the cucumber thinner, so it will taste better."

Thanks to the excellent auxiliary function of the compressed laser cutter for modern people, Kagawa can cut the cucumber into uniform thinness and thickness, and each slice is refreshing green.

Kagawa picked up a piece of cucumber and looked at it carefully.

If I were more skilled, I could cut the cucumber as thin as paper, she thought.

"What should we do with this cucumber?" Ouyang Yating asked, her eyes fixed on the cucumber slices in Xiangchuan's hand, as if she was afraid of missing any details.

"Sprinkle some salt first... Forget it, let's divide the sliced ​​cucumber into two portions, sprinkle salt on one portion, and put the other portion aside. I'll stir-fry it later."

After slicing a cucumber, Kagawa added an appropriate amount of salt and mixed it well.

All that’s left is to let the cucumber slices marinate for 10 minutes.

Taking advantage of this time, she began to instruct others on how to prepare the ingredients.

Liang Gong picked up a white radish and was about to pick up the knife when Kagawa quickly stopped him.

"Wait, Liang Gong, don't be impatient, this thing needs to be peeled."

"Ah?" The people around questioned at the same time.

“Does the white radish have skin?”

Qiu Manman and Nancy, who were helping to prepare other ingredients, couldn't help but look at the cabbages in their hands and thought: Doesn't this thing have skin?
"Both radishes and carrots have skins... anyway, peel them first!"

As Kagawa spoke, he picked up a white radish and demonstrated and gave instructions.

"The skin of radishes is not very thick, so I just peel them with the laser cutter like I usually peel apples."

Oh! You should have said it earlier!
Everyone in Class 8 of Grade 1 nodded and started to peel the skin.

They had never seen Kagawa peel radishes, but he had peeled apples many times in the Tongue Club. Everyone had even watched Kagawa peel a whole apple peel without any breaks. This deeply inspired Ino and Ouyang Yating, and they practiced peeling apples for several days in a row.

During that period, even the cakes in the Tongue Tip restaurant were filled with apple cream, although they were delicious.

This kind of work requires some basic knife skills, and only the four people from the Tongue Tip Society can do it well without the auxiliary function of the compressed laser cutter. Fortunately, with the great modern technology to assist in the operation, the students in Class 8 of Grade 1 do not have to peel the radish skins thicker than French fries.

Kagawa: If I didn't have these modern technologies to provide a backup, I wouldn't have asked the kitchen novices in Class 8 of Grade 1, who only knew how to eat, to help out.

Following Kagawa's instructions, the peeled white radishes gradually piled up.

Xiangchuan picked up a peeled radish, cut off the head and tail skillfully, sliced ​​the radish, and then stacked the slices and cut them into shreds. While she was cutting, she said to Liang Gong beside her:

"The radish should be chopped thinner so that it can absorb the flavor more easily."

After cutting the radish into shreds, she put them into a bowl and added salt, but this time it was not for pickling, but to remove the water.

After the shredded white radish gradually softened under the action of salt, Kagawa squeezed out the water from the basin, poured it into a large bowl, and added sugar, white vinegar, and chili powder in turn.

Once the seasoning is in place, all that’s missing is the right season.

Kagawa turned on the heating plate, put on the pot, and added a few spoonfuls of oil.

"Would you like some fried shredded radish?"

The squad leader Lu Daiqing came over.

"You can, but it's not necessary. Let's wait until next time to make the stir-fried shredded radish."

Kagawa answered casually.

She put her hand on the pot and felt the temperature was just right. She immediately turned off the heat and poured hot oil into a large bowl.

The aroma created by the collision of hot oil, fresh vegetables and condiments spread throughout the kitchen.

The students who had just been concentrating on the work at hand turned their heads to look at Kagawa, and the students who had been paying attention to Kagawa's operations were all stunned.

Squad leader Lu Daiqing raised questions on behalf of the people who were full of questions:
“Isn’t oil used for cooking?”

Kagawa looked at him as if he were a fool:
"Didn't you also apply oil to the pancakes when you made them during the school anniversary? In ancient times, people would drink oil when they were extremely hungry. Only the picky ancient people would think of heating the oil before cooking."

The students in Class 8 of Grade 1, whose knowledge of edible oil had been refreshed, and Manager Wu who was watching from the outside were all shocked into silence by this shocking scene and Kagawa's words.

Kagawa: No, it seems that sesame oil does not need to be heated... Forget it, no one knows there is such a thing as sesame oil at that time.

The next two dishes are stir-fried dishes that look more normal to modern people.

Kagawa beat the eggs, added salt and pepper, stirred well, and then heated the oil in a pan as usual.

When the oil temperature was still acceptable, she poured the egg liquid into the hot oil, stir-fried it quickly until the eggs were solidified, and then sprinkled with chili powder.

A plate of pepper scrambled eggs is now on the table.

If white rice is paired with sweet and sour tomato scrambled eggs, then the lighter porridge and the stronger-flavored pepper scrambled eggs are also a perfect match.

After simply washing the pot, Kagawa continued to heat the pot and add oil. He picked up the cabbage that Qiu Manman and others had torn and poured it into the pot. The moisture in the cabbage collided with the hot oil, making a crackling sound, which scared Ino, who was watching nearby, back a few steps. Kagawa sneered at him with his eyes.

After the cabbage is fried soft, add salt, sugar, chili powder and pepper, stir-fry for a while, and a serving of spicy fried cabbage is ready.

After the two dishes of stir-fried dishes came out of the oven, the pickled cucumbers were almost done with drying out.

Kagawa squeezed the water out of the pickled cucumbers, added sugar, white vinegar, and chili powder, and then poured hot oil on them in the same way.

After the experience just now, the students around him were not too surprised this time.

Of course, Kagawa didn't forget the other half of the cucumber slices.

Heat oil in a pan, add tomatoes and thinly sliced ​​cucumbers, then sprinkle salt evenly. After a while, the fried tomatoes and cucumbers are ready.

Hot and sour crispy cucumbers, spicy pickled radish shreds, pepper scrambled eggs, spicy stir-fried cabbage, plus a serving of tomato and cucumber stir-fried that I made on impulse, are all the dishes for today's breakfast.

Kagawa: You ate so much fried rice last night, so just eat vegetarian food today!
