Overview
Outings involve visiting a supermarket that has tofu, finding and feeding an outdoor ginger cat that resembles Toffee, and holding a cooking session where Chihiro prepares chicken.
The chicken preparation includes seasoning with ginger paste, garlic paste, Kikkoman soy sauce, chili powder, and a crunchy starch or flour powder, purposefully skipping washing raw chicken to avoid splashing bacteria.
Soup is prepared using fish powder rather than traditional dried fish flakes, followed by frying five or six pieces of chicken in a narrow basket.
