She responds cryptically, then cannot help but reach over to administer two headpats to the satisfied children. ...It is possible she has to settle for a shoulder-pat for Raph, instead.
"Take smaller bites. For one thing, you will burn your tongue. For another, you will appreciate the sensation more. This is called 'glutinous rice.' It is very sticky - and it mimics the feel of foods that are high in oils or fats. When paired with fatty meats and foods with high levels of umami, the texture combination creates a luxurious, smooth mouthfeel that coats the tongue. Simultaneously, the flavor profile is rich in multiple depth and dimension. Salted egg provides a sharp sensation that disrupts the uniformity, shiitake is a mellow and earthy flavor, and fresh water chestnut provides a faint sweetness."
