Aiba Manabu ~ 相葉マナブ Epi 018
The staffs probably realized that they're going to lose lots of audiences if they keep the episodes running the way the last one did, hence they go back to the simple form of Aiba Manabu format, which is great! Light, informative and educational, this should be the core of the show, and you'd probably never run out of ideas for this and maintain the budget while at that. The stuffs shown this time are actually quite random, but they're all revolved around how to make things easier in life.


They catch my attention by this second show case (I don't really care about the first one as it's only show the difference between pouring cola into coarse ice cubed and smooth ice cubes.... yeah, so?), but this! I hate watermelon (childhood trauma) but I have to admit, this is pretty cool, so how would you not to get a piece of watermelon with sporadic seeds?


First, cut the watermelon into 2 from the center side, not top down cut.


Then, slice the watermelon in accordance to the seeds direction and you'll get a slice of watermelon with the seeds on each side only. Heee? cool right? haha


So, we're going back to studio, and today's topic is for Aiba-chan to learn how to eliminate inconvenience happening during dinner. Aiba-chan also had a question, but his is off topic and super random. Question Aiba-chan likes to make miso soup but he wonder how long should he keep that miso soup in the fridge... Heaven's voice: Maybe it's the best to eat it on the next day... LOL


So the pattern here is that for every topic, we have the family on the dining table acts on the scenario and a question was thrown to the team, what's the best way to solve it, with hints off course XD.


First question, how to separate egg yolk from the whites easily?


Normal way is to use the egg shell or use the hand, but that's... messy...
And Sawabe being freaked out y sensei XD




So, we use pet bottle! Using the bottle as a mini air vacuum to suck the yolk cleanly and push it out. Me: wow, gotta try! But I find using cracked egg shell is more convenient, you just need to wash your hand later.
But more important question: WHY? The ratio of egg white: egg yolk: hull is 6:3:1. So, since it's light, it's easier to suck the egg yolk out. Hmmm...


And you keep on suck in the yolk all together, which is what Aiba-chan did with so much excitement! Yeah, this is what we'd like to see! I bet Aiba-chan felt like he's back in A no Arashi, just that he's not the host.


Next challenge how to heat up the food but without making the plate hot?


The key is on the wrapping, but what kind of wrapping technique?


First they wrapped the whole plate and it's HOT.

Bonus cap: Aiba-chan giggling and look geeky, nvm, it's cute LOL


As to why if you cling wrap the whole thing it become hot? it's because how the microwave works itself. Microwave heat the food up from the center, so when the food is head up, it release the vapor inside the wrap and it heats up the plate too


see, the heated area is getting bigger ne?

So the boys change how to wrap the mabo tofu...


BTW, I thought we not suppose to touch the cling wrap with the food when we heat up food in the microwave due to chemical reaction, regardless whether the cling wrap is microwave saved or not?
Anyhow, you have to wrap it on the food only and leave the side open.


And when you wrap it that way off course it's not hot, which is why Aiba-chan take it out with style haha... and BTW, is that a PRODUCT PLACEMENT? Hitachi! I can recognize your microwave from miles!


Next question, how to pour kare gravy without dirtying your table AND not to lift up the bowl.


Aiba-chan get it right on the first try! Off course, it's kare.


So what you need to do is take 1 ladle and deep the ladle back, and that's it, it'll stop dropping.


Explained better with animation.


Well, Aiba-chan actually know the method because... well... he's the formerly spoke person of House brand apple honey curry (now it's HSJ boys advertising) LOL

But his gulping curry is cute too... nvm... cute is cute...


They need to answer a kid wanting to have milk coffee while the whole family is having mugicha...


Well, it can be done, just pour milk into mugicha with ratio 1:1 and then add on the sugar syrup, and done! Anybody wanna try?


Why is that? it's because mugicha's wheat exudes a similar smell like coffee bean after roasted (well, this is sort of true because I always thought mugicha is the fake coffee, even without the milk!)

Happy boys when experiment is successful!


Next one is another kid's annoying request (yeah, we've seen these kinds). He's requesting toro while the family only have akami (lean).


It's possible! Fake toro is on the way guys! Should we be careful next time we order a toro?


They ate and...


Yeah, it does taste like toro... but how?


Easy! Just marinate your akami with mayo for 5 hours in the fridge.


Why? the fat of egg yolk is absorbed by the moisture.


Another way is to dab vegetable oil, if you don't like mayo. Impressed!


Next, how to eliminate the tingling sensation when you eat wasabi.


Do not try this at home! Crazy! They put that much!

See?


Solution: drink Cola!


Why?



It's because Cola has carbonic acid and sugar, which can cancel out the wasabi ingredient.


So lastly, when you eat kakigori (this is so Japanese), how you prevent yourself from getting a headache?


To get the effect right, they need to eat the kakigori fast.


Which everybody did and the rest has that headache sensation, except...

Aiba-chan LOL...


So, when your jaw is numb due to the cold, your nerves will send signal to your brain as cold --> pain! so to cancel that sensation out, you just place the ice bowl on your forehead to cool down the head.


Which Aiba-chan has no idea as he still can get that pain sensation to try...

Maybe next time? hehehe...
