The Second cooking session...

With lot of hope , and with lot of energy the second cooking session started and ended well. Mr.G's perfect purchase was an additional support. Though the number of students were less, the briefing took solid twenty minutes.The result, we ended up in bulk cooking.Sweet corn soup, chicken chilli, soft fried egg with noodles and Dates wontons, all eleven joined together with the mis en place.

We started with the soup, and it would have been more better with a good pepper powder, because the compound pepper which we used didn't increse its spiciness, anyways everything is good when it comes to bulk cooking. A piece of batter fried chicken along with the soup seduced our tastebuds for a second and a third help. Its a long term practice to prepare and present all the dishes before consuming, but for this menu , i made everyone to dink the soup before starting the second dishes, because Sweet corn is good when its served hot, and not all soup taste vichyssoise when its served cold.

The noodles was mildly seasoned , just with soy and hoisin sause. The best part is the soft fried egg, rather shallow frying, we deep fried it. The white got gently firm and the yellow was liquid inside, the feel you get when the yolk flows in your mouth is beyond explained. Chicken chilli is as usual - everyone's favourite and dates wontons tasted diffrent. In a comprehensive manner the cooking session created a Shinkows nostalgia. Hope the same energy remains with all the students for our third cooking session.
