实战口语情景对话 第169期:烹饪 Cooking

 Jessica: Hi! This is Jessica and today I'm going to talk about spaghetti. Now a lot of people think that is might just be really easy to make, but let me tell you, mine is the top of the top. It's, I can make a mean spaghetti. So first, I take and I cut up garlic. Garlic is essential. As much garlic as you can possibly stand to cut, and then I cut some onion and put that all together, and fry it with olive¹ oil. Then basically after that point, it kind of varies. It just depends on whatever vegetables I have around. Usually I put in like green peppers, definitely mushrooms. Mushrooms are a must. Um, let's see, and then basically it depends on the time of the year, so if it's summer I'll just put in like squash² and, so I saute all the vegetables up, and get them to the point where they are just right and then I put oregano in hopefully, hopefully, the best is if it's fresh but, you know, you can't have it all so, you put in oregano, and then from there, I put in, and I hope my dad's not listening because he'll never eat it after this point, but I put in tofu ground beef, so you can't really taste it, um, I mean you can taste it. It tastes like beef, but nobody knows that it's tofu, just because I don't particularly like raw meat, so Tofu I think is the way to go, so then, um, so I put that in there, and you don't really have to cook it, you just warm it up, so I just cook it all together, warm it all together. And then I put in some fresh tomatoes, and then I usually use like a half a can of whatever tomato sauce is on sale, whatever pasta sauce, and then again a little more oregano, and just let it simmer to absorb all the flavor. That's it. 杰西卡：你好！我是杰西卡，今天我要谈谈意大利面。现在有许多人认为意大利面很容易做，但是我要告诉你们，我做的意大利面绝对是顶级的。我可以做出出色的意大利面。首先，我需要大蒜，要把它们切碎。大蒜是必须的调料。要放入你能切碎的尽可能多的大蒜，之后我要切一下洋葱，把它们放在一起，用橄榄油煎一下。在基本步骤之后，就有些不同了。基本上，这取决于我旁边有什么蔬菜。通常我会放一些青椒，当然还有蘑菇。蘑菇也是必须的。嗯，我想一下，之后就取决于现在是一年中的什么时节，如果现在是夏天，我会放一些南瓜，我把所有的蔬菜炒一下，炒到正好的火候，之后我会放一些牛至，希望它最好是新鲜的，但是你知道，你不能保证，所以，你放进牛至，之后，我会加入，嗯，希望我爸爸没有听见，因为在放入了这个东西之后他从来也不吃，可是我还是要加一些豆腐牛肉，你还不能尝，嗯，我的意思是，你可以尝尝。它尝起来有点像牛肉，但是没有人知道那是豆腐，就因为我不太喜欢生肉，所以我认为放豆腐比较合适，之后，嗯，我把它放在这里，你不用去烹饪它，只要加热就可以了，所以我把他们放在一起，在一起加热。之后，我会放一些新鲜的番茄，我通常会买打折的番茄沙司，在意大利面里放半罐的量，意大利面调味汁也可以，之后再放一些牛至，让它煨出所有的香味。这样就完成了。
