澳洲高中課程零距離之六——特色袋鼠餅

——From Joy Zhou

    When night falls, the beautiful sunset clouds come into view.

    The sun is slowly falling and making a golden light to make the sky golden and give the earth a shining light. Then, with a little bit of the sun. It shone with the last bright light and turn the whole sky red. I closed my eyes and relished the day's food.

    每當(dāng)快要夜幕降臨時(shí)，美麗的晚霞映入眼簾。太陽慢慢的落下，發(fā)出一道金光，讓天空變得金黃，讓大地也發(fā)出閃亮的光芒。接著，太陽剩下一點(diǎn)了，還發(fā)出最后一道耀眼的光芒，把整個(gè)天空染紅。我閉上雙眼，回味著這一天的美食。

    Today's lesson is not the same as usual. After an English class, we had our first cooking class. Before class, the teacher gave us a paper. She patiently told us the steps to make a kangaroo pie.

    Once again in the specialized kitchen. The true "chef" time is arrived.

    今天的課和往常的不一樣。上完一節(jié)英語課后，我們迎來了人生中第一堂烹飪課。在上課前，老師發(fā)給了我們一張預(yù)先準(zhǔn)備的紙，她耐心的給我們告訴我們一個(gè)個(gè)做袋鼠餅的步驟。又在專門的廚房做了一遍,真正的“大廚”時(shí)間就到了。

    First, we'll cut the Onions to loss the smell of kangaroo meat.

    It may be easier said than done, but for someone like me who never cooks at home. Cut the onion into a fixed size isn't easy. I endured the red acid of the onion and finally finished the first task. Next, it's kangaroo meat. My good partner, Ada, is a kitchen expert. She first poured the prepared condiments in a bowl. Then fried the onion and poured 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the spoon. She fried slowly and then poured the kangaroo meat into the pan. Stirring repeatedly, when the oil is hot. The color of the meat turned brown. She immediately poured it into the prepared sauce. When the rich flavor of pepper is not thoroughly permeated, the meat aroma immediately comes out. At the same time, I have prepared the crust. Spoon the filling into the skin evenly and place a piece of dough on top. The steps have been completed.

    首先，我們要切洋蔥，去袋鼠肉的膻味。也許這一工作說起來簡單，但對(duì)于像我這種在家從不下廚的人來說，把洋蔥切成固定的大小也很不容易。我忍著被洋蔥熏紅的酸楚，最終還是完成了第一個(gè)任務(wù)。接下來，是做袋鼠肉餡。我的好搭檔Ada同學(xué)是一名廚房小能手，她先在碗里倒上準(zhǔn)備好的調(diào)料。然后再炸洋蔥，用鐵勺倒入2勺橄欖油，小火慢炸，當(dāng)油熱起來，再將袋鼠肉倒進(jìn)鍋中，反復(fù)翻炒。眼看肉的顏色變成了棕黃色，她立馬倒進(jìn)了準(zhǔn)備好的調(diào)料。當(dāng)濃郁的胡椒香味還未徹底的彌漫，肉香就立馬的竄了出來。在此同時(shí)，我準(zhǔn)備好了餅皮。用小勺均勻的將餡放入皮中，再在頂端放一塊面皮。大概的步驟就完成了。

    After 20 minutes of waiting, we took our first bread out of the oven. At this time, the students' characteristic kangaroo pies basically baked. 
    The whole classroom is full of the heart-penetrating meat aroma. I want to open a mouthful gently. There is a lot of meat juice to flow out. The meat eats very tender. I also can feel the toughness of flesh when chewing. This is the most unforgettable food of our life.
    經(jīng)過20分鐘的等待，我們從烤箱中取出了人生中第一次的面餅，性情彭拜。這時(shí)同學(xué)們的特色袋鼠餅都基本烤好了，整個(gè)教室充滿了透人心扉的肉香。我輕輕的要開一口，有大量的肉汁流出，吃起來的肉很嫩，嚼的時(shí)候也能感受到肉質(zhì)的韌性。這就是我們?nèi)松凶铍y忘的特色袋鼠餅。
