Toy food is a food dish that comes premeasured and premixed and so requires only a minimal amount of preparation.
“玩具食物”是用预先切好、拌合好的食材,只需极少准备工作就能制成的一盘食物。
To make toy food, you just need to get a little piece of this, a little of that, put it all together and make something, just like it was an Erector Set.
要做“玩具食物”,你只需拿一点这个食材,再加一点那个食材,把它们放在一起就是一顿饭,就像搭模型一样。
For example, thinly slice a half pound of lean meat, brown it in a skillet for a few minutes, add two tablespoons of wine or water, the frozen package of sauce and vegetables — potatoes wedges, pearl onions, carrots, peas and sliced mushrooms, cook for about eight minutes and you have dinner for two.
例如,把半磅瘦肉切成薄片,把肉片放在平底锅里煎至褐色,加入两勺红酒或水,再放入沙司和蔬菜的冷冻包(里面有切成小块的土豆、珍珠洋葱、胡萝卜、豌豆和蘑菇片),煮上八分钟左右,一份两人餐就做好了。
