Asanuma's 1-Day Real Life

[Periods 1-4] Cafe Practice

Today I'm going to try making "Hunter's Style Chicken Stew." I'll be simmering chicken thighs with mushrooms. First, I'll remove the bone from the chicken thighs. The trick is to hold the paring knife like a pen.

Next, we'll sear the meat. Press it lightly into a heated pan with tongs.

Sauté the mushrooms, then add the soup and browned chicken.

Finally, everyone helped with the plating.

Finally, add some green for color. Yep! It looks delicious.
