Hey Human, Watch Me Make a Stir-fry!

Meow! I’m Chubby, the ginger chef cat from next door. I’ve been watching my human messing around in the kitchen with this thing called “stir-frying” – doesn’t look too hard! Today, while my human’s at work, I’ve decided to surprise them by cooking up a dish!

Gathering Ingredients

First things first – ingredient hunting! From my careful observation, stir-frying needs:

• A big round iron wok (pretty heavy, but I’ve been working out!)
• Some crunchy green stuff (humans call these bell peppers)
• Those long green things that look like grass (probably green onions)
• And my favorite dried anchovies! (secretly borrowed from my snack jar)

Let’s Get Cooking!

Step One: Starting the Fire
This was the trickiest part! Took me several tries to turn that knob with my paw. Almost singed my whiskers, but my ninja reflexes saved me!

Step Two: Adding Oil
My human always pours some shiny liquid first. Found it! That bottle labeled “soy sauce” on the counter.
(Later found out I should’ve used something called “cooking oil”… oops!)

Step Three: Adding Ingredients
Following my observation notes:

1. First, dumped in the dried anchovies (my creative touch!)
2. Then the bell peppers, slightly smashed with my paws
3. Finally, sprinkled on some green onions I chomped up

Step Four: The Stir-fry
This is where the real skill comes in! I tried grabbing the wok handle with my paws to toss the ingredients like my human does.
Might have spilled a little… okay, a lot.
But no worries! The space under the sofa can hide a few more secrets.

The Final Result

After all my hard work, it’s done!
I’m calling this masterpiece: “Feline-style Stir-fried Bell Peppers with Dried Anchovies”

Features:

• Color: Dark brown (might have gone a bit heavy on the soy sauce)
• Texture: Extra crunchy (I was worried about the high heat, so everything’s basically raw)
• Special touch: A few of my whiskers (those weren’t intentional!)

Minor Incidents

Okay, I should mention a few small accidents:

1. The kitchen floor’s a bit messy (but I’ll lick it clean!)
2. Something’s stuck to the wok (definitely the wok’s fault)
3. The smoke alarm went off three times (most annoying – had to hide under the sofa until it stopped)
4. The neighbor’s dog won’t stop barking (must have smelled my amazing cooking)

Lessons Learned

As a dedicated cat chef, here’s what I’ve learned:

1. Stir-frying is harder than it looks! No wonder my human talks about learning to cook
2. Next time I need a taller stool – too much jumping around
3. Smoke alarms are a chef’s worst enemy
4. Dried anchovies taste better straight from the jar

Note to My Human

Dear Human:
If the kitchen looks a bit different when you get home, remember this was an act of love!
It might be a bit messy, but didn’t you say “it’s the thought that counts”?
Look, I saved you a portion!
(Well, half a portion – had to do quality control…)

Meow! That’s all for today’s cooking adventure!
Time for my post-cooking nap – being a chef is exhausting!

PS: This cat takes no responsibility for any kitchen damage or mess. All consequences are the human’s responsibility!
