橋のたもとの餃子日和

島にかかる橋のたもとで、リスのリッキー、ウサギのウーちゃん、そしてクマのクーちゃんが集まりました。リッキーが言いました。「お昼ご飯、何にしようか？」

まず、リッキーの提案は「ドングリの餃子」。木の上で軽快なダンスとともに「ドングリの粉末を練り込んだ香ばしい風味の皮に、クルミやアーモンド、カシューナッツを蜂蜜で和えた餡。皮は秋らしい黄色や茶色のマーブル模様で、ドングリやクルミを模した可愛らしいミニチュアサイズなんだ」

次に、ウーちゃんの提案は「ニンジン餃子」。リズミカルなダンスをみせて「ニンジンやビーツのピューレを練り込んだ鮮やかなピンク色の皮に、細かく刻んだニンジン、キャベツ、リンゴをヨーグルトとハーブで和えた餡。皮はウサギの耳を模した細長い形状なんだよ」

最後に、クーちゃんの提案は「クマの手形餃子」。力強いダンスと咆哮を交えて「全粒粉を練り込んだ力強い風味の皮に、サーモン、キノコ、ベリーを贅沢に使った餡。皮はクマの手形を模した大きくて食べ応えのある形状だよ」

今日は3月8日、餃子の日。動物たちは自慢の餃子を一緒に作って仲良く食べ、楽しいお昼ご飯の時間を過ごしました。



Dumpling Day at the Bridge


At the foot of the bridge on the island, Ricky the Squirrel, Woo the Rabbit, and Koo the Bear gathered. Ricky said, "What should we have for lunch?"

First, Ricky suggested "Acorn Dumplings." Dancing lightly on the tree, he said, "The dough is made with acorn powder and has a nutty flavor. The filling is made with walnuts, almonds, and cashew nuts mixed with honey. The dumpling skin is yellow and brown like autumn, and the dumplings are cute and tiny like acorns and walnuts."

Next, Woo suggested "Carrot Dumplings." Showing her rhythmic dance, she said, "The dough is made with carrot and beet puree, making it bright pink. The filling is made with chopped carrots, cabbage, and apples mixed with yogurt and herbs. The dumplings are long and look like rabbit ears."

Finally, Koo suggested "Bear Paw Dumplings." With a strong dance and a roar, he said, "The dough is made with whole wheat flour and has a hearty flavor. The filling is made with salmon, mushrooms, and berries. The dumplings are big and shaped like bear paws."

Today is March 8th, Dumpling Day. The animals made their special dumplings together, ate them happily, and had a fun lunch.
