Intensive Cooking Class, Intermediate 2nd day☆

  Today is a refreshing autumn day, which is very different from yesterday. It seems that Osaka is still over 30 degrees during the day, but mornings and evenings are really comfortable. Well, the intensive cooking class is the 2nd day of the intermediate class, 3rd and 4th.Today's teacher is Keiko Imamura. Mr. Imamura.JPG The 3rd menu is 4 items: spaghetti mushroom sauce, barley croquette plum sauce, carrot dressing salad, and nut cake. Ingredients 3.JPG It's a nut cake, but when I hear the word "cake", I think of a fluffy creamy cake at a patisserie, but this is a simple baked confectionery. (If anything, it's like the freshly baked cakes, scones, and thick cookies that are in the boulangerie.) By the way, it's called "Russian cake" and it's a cookie, isn't it? cake mix.JPG Mix the roasted and chopped nuts, the raisins softened in hot water and their rehydrated juice, and the grated lemon zest into the flour without kneading.Put it in a mold and bake it in the oven. (Be careful so that the fire penetrates all the way through!) Cake baking.JPG baked Remove from heat and cut into pieces. Baked cake.JPG Tasting is also complete.The spaghetti sauce is like a cream sauce, so it's best for him to eat it while it's still warm. During tasting 3.JPG During my lunch break today, I took a footbath using ginger powder. Cooking all day long is also good for your feet...Improve your blood circulation before heading to class in the afternoon Foot bath XNUMX.JPG The 4th menu is Inari sushi, three-color shiratama dango soup, deep-fried lotus root scissors, green vegetables with spicy sauce, and hijiki lotus root. Ingredients 4.JPG The menu looks fun, but the most important one is “Hijiki lotus root”!It is one of the representative dishes as a "dietary dish" that keeps you in good shape.Even if you go up to the advanced level, this will also appear in the normal course, so please be sure to review it. (In the teacher's class, the teacher sometimes instructs her to cook without looking at the recipe... she may or may not?) Hijiren0.JPG We will teach you how to make it properly in class, so the procedure is omitted.Don't forget the drop lid for dried foods. (Do not cover the pan at this time.) Hijiren1.JPG under the lid.Seaweed goes very well with soy sauce, so the hijiki lotus root is made with just soy sauce. Hijiren2.JPG Boil down until the broth is gone!Boil until the hijiki is glossy. Hijiren3.JPG Here it is.The soy sauce is spicy, so of course you can eat just a little at a time.On the other hand, if you eat too much, you will crave for tea, right? Hijiren.JPG The practical training is at an end, and everyone wraps the inari sushi. Inari wrap.JPG I'm going to divide it and serve it. Afternoon.JPG Tasting is complete During tasting 4.JPG Deep-fried lotus root scissors takes a bit of time and effort, but together with inari sushi, it's perfect as a lunch box for excursions. By the way, inari sushi is wrapped in the Kansai style. When I think about it, I entered the equinox.I think everyone has a lot of plans for visiting graves, going on excursions, and on weekends. I hope the weather will be fine tomorrow
