Transcript
Akane sprinkles flour over the browned mushrooms and stirs with a wooden spoon. Caption: "STEP 4. Sprinkle in the other 2 tbsp flour. Stir for 1 minute." Akane pours golden broth from a glass jug while whisking, a small pitcher of cream on the counter beside the hob. Caption: "Slowly whisk in the 240 ml broth, then the 120 ml cream. Going slowly keeps it smooth." Close-up: thick, creamy mushroom sauce simmering over a low flame, coating a wooden spoon. Caption: "Simmer on medium-low 3 to 4 minutes, until it coats a spoon." Akane drizzles soy sauce from a tiny dish into the pan, smiling. Caption: "Season with the soy sauce, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Turn off the heat."

About this chapter
Holiday season is coming, and green bean casserole is the top trending Thanksgiving recipe on Google. On a quiet November afternoon Akane does a practice run and makes it fully from scratch in her small kitchen: green beans blanched bright and crisp, shallots fried golden, mushrooms browned in butter and folded into a silky cream sauce with a dash of soy sauce, then baked in her countertop oven until bubbling and crowned with the crispy shallots. Captions walk the reader through every amount, heat setting and timing so it can be made at home, ending with Akane at her little table, doing some very thorough research on the topping.
