Bibi and Lala Dive into the Fun and Delicious Process of Making Homemade Fish Floss! From Cooking to Shredding, Every Step is a Joyful Adventuređđ
It was a sunny afternoon in the little wooden kitchen by the riverside, and Bibi and Lala were buzzing with excitement. Today was specialâthey were finally going to make homemade fish floss! They had heard Grandma talk about the tasty, fluffy treat so many times, and now it was their turn to dive into the fun.
âAre you ready, Lala?â Bibi asked, tying an apron around her waist.
âMore than ready!â Lala grinned, clapping her hands. âLetâs make the yummiest fish floss ever!â
They started by preparing the fish. Grandma had already helped them select a couple of fresh filletsâboneless and soft. Bibi carefully placed the fillets into a steamer while Lala watched the timer with full concentration. The kitchen filled with a mouthwatering aroma as the fish slowly cooked. Steam rose gently, wrapping the room in warmth.
Once the fish was cooked and cooled, it was time for the most exciting partâshredding! Bibi handed Lala a fork, and the two of them sat at the table, giggling as they pulled apart the tender fish into tiny strands. It was like a game to see who could make the fluffiest pile.
âThis feels like pulling cotton candy apart!â Lala laughed, holding up a bunch of shredded fish.
âOnly this oneâs going to taste salty and delicious,â Bibi replied, giving her a wink.
Next came the seasoning. Grandma had passed down her secret blend of flavorsâsoy sauce, sugar, a pinch of pepper, and a splash of fish sauce. The two girls mixed it all into the shredded fish, making sure every bit was soaked with flavor.
Then came the frying step. Bibi carefully poured the mixture into a non-stick pan, and Lala stood close, ready with a wooden spatula. They stirred and stirred over low heat, watching the fish change color and texture. Slowly, the mixture turned golden and dry, transforming into the fluffy, savory floss they had dreamed of.
âItâs happening, Bibi! Look!â Lala cheered as the floss lightened and began to dance in the pan.
After what felt like foreverâbut was really just half an hourâthe fish floss was ready. The girls took a taste and burst into smiles. It was perfectâcrispy, savory, slightly sweet, and absolutely delicious.
They packed some into jars for family and neighbors, but not before making fish floss sandwiches for themselves, with warm rice and cucumber slices.
As they sat under the tree outside, munching happily and covered in tiny flakes of fish floss, Bibi turned to Lala and said, âWe make a great team.â
Lala nodded. âLetâs do this again next week. Maybe chicken floss next time?â
Bibi laughed. âDeal!â
Their afternoon had been more than just cookingâit was a memory, a joyful adventure of flavors, teamwork, and love.
