A Day in My Life 23: Cooking Rice

Mom gave me a rice cooker last week.

Minggu lalu Ibu memberiku penanak nasi.

Tonight, I'm going to use it for the first time!

Malam ini aku mau memakainya untuk pertama kali!

I'm going to make rice and vegetables.

Aku mau masak nasi dan sayur.

First, I measure two cups of rice.

Pertama, aku takar dua gelas beras.

I wash the rice in cold water.

Aku cuci berasnya dengan air dingin.

I wash it three times, until the water is clear.

Aku cuci tiga kali, sampai airnya jernih.

Then I put the rice in the rice cooker.

Lalu aku masukkan berasnya ke penanak nasi.

I add water up to the line.

Aku tambahkan air sampai garisnya.

I close the lid. That's easy!

Aku tutup tutupnya. Gampang!

While the rice cooks, I cut some vegetables.

Sambil nasinya dimasak, aku potong sayuran.

I fry carrots, broccoli and onions in a pan.

Aku tumis wortel, brokoli, dan bawang bombai di wajan.

Oh, it smells really good!

Wah, wangi banget!

Thirty minutes later, I'm very hungry.

Tiga puluh menit kemudian, aku lapar sekali.

I open the rice cooker.

Aku buka penanak nasinya.

Wait, the rice is still hard and cold!

Tunggu, berasnya masih keras dan dingin!

Oh no! I didn't press the start button!

Aduh! Aku lupa menekan tombol mulai!

So I press the button and wait again.

Jadi aku tekan tombolnya dan menunggu lagi.

Now the vegetables are cold, too.

Sekarang sayurnya juga sudah dingin.

Mochi looks at me. She wants dinner, too!

Mochi menatapku. Dia juga mau makan malam!

Beep! Finally, the rice is ready!

Bip! Akhirnya nasinya matang!

It's soft and hot.

Nasinya pulen dan panas.

It's much better than my old rice in a pot.

Jauh lebih enak daripada nasi yang dulu kumasak di panci.

I send a photo to Mom and say thank you.

Aku kirim foto ke Ibu dan bilang terima kasih.

Next time, I'm going to press start first!

Lain kali, aku tekan tombol mulai duluan!
