Salt is sprinkled over the chopped cabbage in a white bowl. Caption: "Toss with 1/2 tsp salt and leave it for 10 minutes." Hands twist the cabbage in a cloth, water dripping into the bowl.

About this chapter
Akane makes pan-fried gyoza with a crispy lace wing from scratch, but this time she is not alone: her rascal younger sister Rina drops in, steals tastes, folds a lumpy "gyoza with character" and lifts the lid at the worst moment. Captions walk the reader through every amount, fold and heat setting, ending with both sisters at the little table, the second chair finally taken.
