Nailed it! | Wednesday, 3rd period

[sharp_man]

"Today we will be working on Korean food," Hannibal said as they filed in. "Specifically, dolsot bibimbap. It's a dish of meat, egg, vegetables, and rice. It involves several different steps, and you will need to use this room's properties to shorten the time for marinating the meat. Also, as some of you may be pleased to hear, one of the steps is making a specific type of hot sauce." Vette. "You will need to toast the rice without burning it, cook the eggs properly, get the steak to a specific temperature, and grill the vegetables."

He brought out his own, a little dish for each of them, perfectly presented, with a little gochujang sauce in an artful swirl on the top. Except for one dish, which had twice the sauce on it.

"Enjoy, then make your own."

Extra Spicy was absolutely digging in, lekku curling a little in pleasure as she ate. Vette had learned by now that she should come to class hungry.

She might have been wondering if she could ask for more of that sauce. But then, she was learning how to make it today, right...?

She was indeed.

Hannibal eyed her, amused. "There are many different varieties of gochujang sauce," he said. "Some more fruity, or sweeter, or hotter than others. Since you're interested in different varieties of heat, I'd recommend you look them up and see what sounds interesting. I can answer any questions you may have about the ingredients or their use."

"I might have to play around with it some more after class," Vette decided. "That actually seems like a worthwhile use of my time."

Not much around here did, especially now that the heist was through.

Hannibal gave her an arch look. "I'm pleased to hear it. I would hate to think I was wasting your time."

Vette glanced back at him mildly.

"I mean, doing this, more of this for the heck of it," she explained. "I still don't know how long I'm going to be here. But this..."

She glanced at the bowl in front of her.

"Even if I only get to enjoy this once or twice, it's nice."

A hell of a lot nicer than anything she'd get on Nar Shaddaa.

"Knowing how to make something yourself ensures you a better chance of enjoying it later," Hannibal pointed out. "Or something similar to it, if you haven't got the exact ingredients."

"Let me tell you, it's going to be an adventure trying to reproduce something like this back home," Vette said, faintly amused. "Rice, eggs, vinegar, onions... We have some variety of a lot of these things. Doesn't necessarily mean they'll all play nice together."

"I suppose you'll simply have to experiment," Hannibal said. "Which can be fun in its own right."
