S; Mom, could you show me how to make Western-style food today?

Mother: Tell me what kind of food you like to eat then.

Son: Salad. That is my favorite.

M: ok. Let me show you. Go wash your hands first.

Son: ok.

M: we need some vegetables.

Listen carefully.

1. half a pound of asparagus 半磅芦笋。

2. two large tomatoes

3. One and a quarter pound of cabbage

4. two medium size potatoes

S: Ah, yes. I like tomatoes.

M: let me remind you that “talk is cheap!” Go wash them!

S: It’s so expensive to satisfy my stomach!.

Ok, I’m ready! What’s the next step? mum

M: Cut the asparagus and cabbage. Peel and cut the tomatoes and potatoes. Be careful, peel the tomatoes lightly.

Son: I am done.

M: Then you add a spoon of sugar, a spoon of sesame seeds芝麻, three spoons of soy sauce酱油 and three spoons of rice vinegar米醋 into a small bowl. Mix them in the bowl. Stir until the sugar dissolves, and set aside.

S: It’s so easy. Now what’s the next?

M: Put a large pot with about 2 pounds of water in it on to boil. Drop the vegetables into the boiling water, cover, and cook for 2 minutes after the water returns to a boil. Remove to a dish. Pour off the excess water.

Son: Now what?

M: let me heat the sesame oil and the soy sauce dressing.

Son: Wow, it smells great! How can I help you , mum? I can’t wait!

M: The final step! Coat them! You did a good job. Now let’s enjoy!

S: mum, so delicious! yum yum!
