spsnThis is the long overdue dish that I'd like to try out. In the segment, they don't really show the recipe so I have to do my own calculation :). But the result doesn't disappoint and now my tummy is calmed and happy. Minestrone is a tomato based soup and when the segment didn't show any tomatoes around on the pantry, my mind when '????.' And the soup color come out red and I was even more confused, so I just google out some minestrone soup recipe out there and see that they use. I also take the liberty of taking part of the Gyoza recipe from Shiyagare :).
Reality:
It's all start with the boys bringing Mochida Kaori into the cooking school...
This is how all it starts
The class has started and they just barge in, just like that, sasuga, Arashi :p
And off course the whole class were surprised... all those lucky housewives...
My face would probably like this too if I see them in person... maybe this lady is also a fan... ne?
The brat just had to confirm whether it's a dokkiri or not haha...
And Jun-kun's partner? What a lucky lady... I'm more interested on the pink Hermes bag on the background... I like the color hahahha...
Finally the demonstration started...
Jun-kun hates celery, but sensei ignored him and ask him to cut celery hahaha... Jun-kun, don't be a brat, that belongs to Nino, and celery is good for preventing high blood pressure ne...
Cap this because I like to see Jun-kun in apron and work in the kitchen...
Meanwhile, the other team... the brat cut the veggies on his own pace that everybody have to wait for him LOL, and he still got the cheek to hum hahha...
Instant delegation skill, whatever given to him, quickly passed to his partner... hahaha...
And while Mochida-san is working, the brat is chit chatting...
And even spreading gossip that ELT is in danger of breaking up haha...
The serious face of Jun-kun... making rolled cabbage hahaha...
Such a contrast from this one... hahaha...
And he's the loudest saying 'dekimashita' tsk tsk... Did you do anything Nino-kun?
Judging time, start with Matsujun, and the result?
Enough said... but wait... it's not over yet...
The diva is busy praising himself that his is the most delicious and even put a price tag on it haha...
And now, it's Nino's put to the test...
Matsujun being the strict critic put low price tag to it with the brat's loud protest... hmm... Nino-kun... you're not even really doing anything, no? hahahaha...
But at least your teammate is backing you up Nino-kun hahaha....
I don't cap the rest of the segment because the focus is not on the boys anymore hahaha...
I'd think the boys' skill in variety are put to test the most in VIP Limousine segment because they have to make the super boring segment interesting, and they did their best, there are ups and downs in here and it can't be helped... staff-san, as much as Arashi is good in MC-ing and stuff, you need to have interesting stuff also to keep the rating... Arashi alone won't safe your butt if your content is damn boring...
With that, take this as early post for Nino's 29th birthday... lalala...
What you need:
1 green Zucchini ~ cut small cube
2 carrots ~ cut small cube
2 stalks celery ~ cut small cube
1 sweet corn ~ cut
400gr minced meat
6 big cabbage leaves ~ blanched
100 gr cabbage ~ cut big piece
300 cc chicken stock
6-7 tomatoes ~ cut big piece
300 cc chicken stock
seasoning: thyme, salt
How to:
1. On a wok, boil cabbage and chicken stock until soft and stock reduced with closed lid. Pour into food processor and blend it. Pour the puree into a flat plate and put it in freezer for 10-15 min until you scrap it but not completely froze.
2. In a bowl, mix minced meat with the cabbage puree until well mixed. You need to knead the meat until it changes its texture to very smooth texture.
3. Take about 80-100 gr of the mixture and wrap it with the cabbage leave. You may have to cut the excess leaves to close the roll. It makes about 5-6 rolls and set aside.
4. On a wok, boil tomato and chicken stock until soft with closed lid. Pour into food processor and blend it. Strain it with cheese cloth (if you don't have it, use the fine strainer will do).
5. On a big soup pot, sautee the cut veggies until fragrant, pour in the strained tomato puree, add water or more stock if you'd like to have more liquid. Place the rolled cabbage on top, cover it with baking paper and let it boil under small fire for about 30-40 minutes.

Reality:
I personally like the soup because it taste so clean and healthy :).
VIP Limousine are mostly boring, but there are times that it's informative or interesting and I quite like this one because it involves food. I don't care much about ELT, but I like to see the boys in aprons hahahaha...
