At noon, I saw my mother cooking in the kitchen. There were some cucumbers on the table. I said on a whim, "Mom, please teach me how to make cold cucumber." Mom couldn't beat me and agreed. I'm so happy! Mother told me to pay special attention to hygiene when cooking cold salad. Before cooking cold salad, clean the cutting board and kitchen knife, and then disinfect with boiling water. I carefully cleaned the chopping board and kitchen knife several times as my mother said, and disinfected them with boiling water. Then, my mother began to teach me to make cucumber salad. Mom said, first, cut the cucumber into pieces. When cutting vegetables, you must concentrate and pay attention to safety. After that, my mother picked up a cucumber in her left hand and a knife in her right hand, which set an example for me. My mother quickly cut the first root and handed me the knife. I picked up a kitchen knife, imitated my mother's appearance, put the cucumber flat on the cutting board and began to cut it carefully. I was so scared in my heart that I was afraid of accidentally cutting my hand, but I was afraid of my mother's joke that I had to cut it bravely. I have been cheering myself up in my heart: be careful, cut slowly, and don't worry. I cut slowly and finally cut one. Cucumber can be cut into seven sizes, some are long, some are short, some are thick and some are thin. After reading it, my mother said humorously, "There are all kinds, tall and thin, but it is very good to cut it like this for the first time." I follow the steps taught by my mother, put the cut cucumber in the prepared basin, and add seasonings such as refined salt, sugar, garlic, chicken essence, vinegar and sesame oil. I picked up chopsticks and mixed all kinds of spices and cucumber evenly. The crisp cucumber gave off an attractive fragrance. Stir well, then put it in a plate. A cold cucumber is ready. I can't wait to pick up a cucumber and put it in my mouth. Haha, sour is sweet, sweet is spicy, just to my taste. "Let's go!" I shouted and put the plate on the table. At dinner, my parents praised me for the delicious cold cucumber. I also eat very sweet, because this is the first time I have made it myself, and I have my own hard work in it.
By learning to make cold salad, I understand the meaning of the sentence "everything is difficult at the beginning". I know that there is a first time for everything, and I don't have to learn it. As long as you study hard and practice hard, practice makes perfect. Cold salad is not only delicious, crisp and refreshing, but also stimulates appetite. On a hot summer day, learn to cook a few cool and refreshing cold dishes.
