第 32 课:cooking 烹饪 - 2

A: hi. You said that you might need some help with preparing dinner. What would you like me to do?

B; thanks for coming over to help. I really appreciate it. First, could you peel the vegetables? I've put them all in the skin and there's a peeler.

A: Ok, I'll peel the vegetables and you chop them. I'm terrible at chopping vegetables. I always seem to chop them into pieces that are either too big or too small. … wow! You can chop vegetable really quickly, just like professional chefs on TV!

B; after you've chopped the vegetables, could you fry the meat in a little oil? Just use a very small amount of oil. Fry the meat until it is cooked, then we'll add some spices to flavor it.

A: which spices are you going to add to the meat?

B; these ones here. The one on the left is very spicy, so we must be careful about how much we add.

A: yes. We don't' want everyone to burn their mouths and have a drink gallons of water! OK. I'm really to do the meat. Should I cook it over a low flame?
B; cook it over a high flame, so that it will be ready quickly. Keep stirring the meat around the frying pan. Don't let the meat stick to the bottom of the pan.
A; right. What are you doing over there?

B; I'm mixing the sauce. It's my specialty. I make it according to my own secret recipe!
