Todd: Udo. udo。

Hisa: That is a white stick, kind of vegetable. Just you peel them very thick because outside is quite bitter, so inside you slice up and then put them in the water with vinegar because that is how you can keep this white color. It lasts long, yes, and then, usually I put some wakame, sea vegetables, and then two ingredients³ I use, and then add some ginger⁴, which I love very much. Chop⁵ up some ginger, and then those three things I mix with vinegar, a little bit soy sauce and then salt and then just sometimes you can even marinate if you like. 这是一种白色长条状的蔬菜。你需要削掉外皮，因为皮很苦。接着切片并泡在加水的醋中长时间浸泡以保持它的白色。接着再放些裙带菜，海菜，和我喜欢吃的姜。把姜切沫放进去后，再加醋，酱油，盐，还可以加些卤汁，搅拌均匀。

Todd: Wow, sounds good. 哇，听上去不错。

Hisa: Very light. 很清淡。

Todd: And I can buy these ingredients at the Japanese supermarket? 我能在日本的超市中买到所需的调料吗？

Hisa: Yes, green grocer's, and it is only for spring time. Udo! Sounds like Udon. Just you remove "n" 是的，绿色食品杂货店，这些只在春天有。“udo”听起来很像“udon”。要把“n”去掉。

Todd: Udo. Good luck. 祝你好运。

Hisa: Alright, I'll try and make it. 好的，我会试着制作的。
