Terry's Intermediate Diary 9

The weather is getting more and more comfortable, and commuting by bicycle feels great.When it comes to autumn, many people say “Autumn of ○○”, but I have a feeling that I will be very busy with “autumn cleaning” as I am moving soon.What kind of autumn will you spend? ***************************  

A typhoon that caused extensive damage12number left,

The temperature dropped suddenly.

Towel blanket1If you sleep on a sheet,

The word "cold" came out silently in the early morning

I closed the window that was open.

From "hot" to "cold"

The seasons change so dramatically.

♪You in a yukata are hairpins from Susukino 

How about grabbing the neck of a hot sake bottle and having another drink?

♪It's already autumn And I'm 

Even if people don't know and go too far...

a song likeBGMIt sounds like

As someone who loves summer, it's sad

Observing the deepening autumn

I want to take it easy and enjoy myself.

 

Intermediate9It's the second time.

Same as last time, Dr. Kaneko Kaneko is in charge.

"How was it after the typhoon passed??

 I felt that the air had changed and a refreshing autumn had arrived.

Chive flowers were blooming.

Please take time to look around."

He said with a cup of white chive flowers in his hand.

I thought maybe the teacher likes flowers.

 

Well, today's menu is

·Curry pilaf

·Pumpkin Soup

・Cabbage croquette

·Soba salad

・Pumpkin pie5It is a product.

 

Looking at the teacher's demonstration, it seems quite tough.

did it come across

"I was relaxed last time, but this time I might be a little busy."

He said.

 

Time-consuming curry pilaf and

I started with pumpkin pie.

Brown rice for curry pilaf before class

It was fried in a frying pan to a fox color.

Minced garlic in a pressure cooker

Add ground ginger and stir-fry,

Onions, carrots, shiitake mushrooms, raisins,

Gluten meat sprinkled with curry powder

(flavored gluten extracted from wheat)

and cooked with roasted brown rice, water and salt.

I imagined something stir-fried because it was called pilaf.

It's about fried rice or fried rice

Originally, pilaf is a dish that cooks fried rice,

It's a common Turkish dish.

 

Pumpkin pie dough is made by mixing sesame oil with flour.

Add the rehydrated raisin juice that was in the boiling water,

I mixed it quickly with the feeling of cutting powder.

My teacher repeatedly told me not to knead.

Harden it and wrap it in a damp cloth30Let me sleep for a minute, then

Divide into halves, stretch to fit the pie plate, then

First,1I put only one in the oven.

 

The filling in the pie is boiled and mashed pumpkin.

It is made by chopping raisins soaked in hot water.

Place it on top of the baked pie and

Already1Stretch out a piece of fabric and cover it

Put in the oven again.

Extra dough cut to fit the pie plate

I cut it out and pasted it on top of the pie as a decoration.

Furthermore, the remaining dough was made into sticks and baked.

Pumpkin soup was also on the beginner's menu

This time as a hospitality version,

Remove the skin and make only the inside.

Of course I didn't throw away the skin and used it for pumpkin pie.

Fry finely chopped onions

Add roughly chopped pumpkin and sauté

Steamed thoroughly.

Add flour and mix

Add the dashi stock and heat until the vegetables are soft.

When it was done, I let it cool and put it in the blender.

Transfer it to a pot and season with salt and pepper.

Finally add soy milk.

Place on a plate and sprinkle with parsley.

 

Cabbage croquette, which I was wondering what kind of dish,

chopped cabbage, chopped

Raw shiitake mushroom powder inside

Add yam and flour

Shaped and sprinkled with bread crumbs

 IMG_6325.JPG

Deep fried.

Lastly is the soba salad.

Soak the shredded daikon radish in water to make it crispy.

Dressing is sesame oil, vinegar,

I mixed sesame paste and soy sauce.

Boil the dried soba noodles in half,

After washing with water to remove slime

Tossed with daikon radish and sprouts and dressed with dressing.

Place in a bowl and sprinkle with coarsely chopped nuts.

 

This time, an uncle who always learns at the same table

Because we moved to another table due to the number of people,

3Surrounded by beautiful women,

It's hard to do it because it's different

“What happened?

"I'm not feeling well"

"I'm not feeling well without my brother."

It's been a busy training that I can't get enough of while being told.

 

It's finally time to taste.

IMG_6341.JPG 

Only the pie was not yet baked,

4A variety of dishes were laid out on the table.

 

Start with pumpkin soup.

It's just the contents, so it's a beautiful yellow.

Take a sip and everyone will sing in unison

I said "delicious" and "mellow".

It seems that the soy milk in the finish made it smooth.

I thought, "I can serve this at a restaurant."

Curry pilaf is quite heavy

It's delicious when you chew it, and it seems like it's going to be a habit.

Because I knew the meaning of pilaf,

It will be the first experience in my life to eat pilaf.

 

The soba salad has a refreshing taste and texture that goes well with the curry pilaf.

Mysterious dish, cabbage croquette

"After a while while eating, the yam will come out."

said the woman next to me,

In addition, "It looks like okonomiyaki made into croquette",

I laughed unintentionally.

What a nice expression.

 

Since my uncle is not here today,

If you gave up without asking the price of the usual dish,

From a distant table, "Today's3000It's a yen."

I heard that, so I felt refreshed.

I'm full now

The pumpkin pie I took home,

In the end, I forgot to bring it home and had it for breakfast the next day.
