Step 1: Ingredient Sorting Challenge Cookingdom Level 55
Our first step in creating the Jamaican Pineapple Jerk Chicken involves a unique ingredient gathering phase. You'll need to correctly sort the initial components from a selection into a large wooden bowl.
- Objective: To select and transfer the correct ingredients from small plates into a central wooden bowl as they are requested.
- Scene Setup:
- A large wooden bowl is positioned centrally on a green-matted surface with a beach backdrop.
- Below the bowl, five small plates are arranged, each initially holding a different ingredient. From left to right: a bunch of thyme, a whole avocado, a lemon, a red onion, and a container with three raw chicken drumsticks.
- A recycle bin is to the right of the bowl.
- A conveyor belt-like mechanism appears above the plates, leading to the bowl.
- Sorting Mechanic:
- Thyme: The bowl will first show an image of thyme. Drag the plate of thyme from the bottom row onto the conveyor belt area. The thyme will travel along the belt and drop into the bowl. The empty plate disappears.
- Lemon: The bowl will then show an image of a lemon. Drag the plate with the lemon onto the conveyor belt. It will travel and drop into the bowl. The empty plate disappears.
- Avocado: Next, the bowl requests an avocado. Drag the plate with the avocado onto the conveyor belt. It will travel and drop into the bowl. The empty plate disappears.
- Red Onion: The bowl then shows a red onion. Drag the plate with the red onion onto the conveyor belt. It will travel and drop into the bowl. The empty plate disappears.
- Chicken Drumsticks: Finally, the bowl requests chicken drumsticks. Drag the container with the three chicken drumsticks onto the conveyor belt. They will travel and drop into the bowl. The empty container disappears.
- Completion: Once all five ingredients are correctly sorted into the wooden bowl, this phase concludes, and the scene transitions to the preparation stage. Incorrect items, if dragged, would presumably be rejected or sent to the recycle bin.
Step 2: Precision Chopping and Dicing Cookingdom Level 55
With the initial ingredients gathered, we now move to the chopping station to prepare the various components for our marinade and salsa.
- Objective: To correctly chop and dice a variety of fruits, vegetables, and herbs, placing them into designated containers.
- Scene Setup:
- A wooden cutting board takes center stage.
- A chef's knife is provided.
- Several whole ingredients are presented on small plates around the cutting board: a whole pineapple, a whole avocado (different from the one sorted), a bunch of cilantro, a bunch of mint, a lemon, a yellow onion, a red onion, ginger root, and red chili peppers.
- Empty bowls/containers are available for the chopped ingredients. A recycle bin is present for scraps.
- Chopping Process:
- Pineapple: Drag the whole pineapple onto the cutting board. The knife will appear. Drag the knife to the top of the pineapple to slice off the crown. Drag the crown to the recycle bin. Drag the knife again to the pineapple to slice it vertically, then horizontally, creating chunks. Drag the container (a rectangular tray) to the cutting board to collect the pineapple chunks.
- Avocado: Drag the whole avocado to the cutting board. The knife will cut it in half and remove the pit. Drag the pit to the recycle bin. The knife will then scoop out and dice the avocado flesh. Drag an empty small bowl to the cutting board to collect the diced avocado.
- Cilantro: Drag the bunch of cilantro to the cutting board. The knife will chop it. Drag an empty small bowl to collect the chopped cilantro.
- Mint: Drag the bunch of mint to the cutting board. The knife will chop it. Drag an empty small bowl to collect the chopped mint.
- Lemon: Drag the lemon to the cutting board. The knife will slice it into wedges. Drag an empty small bowl to collect the lemon slices.
- Yellow Onion: Drag the yellow onion to the cutting board. The knife will chop it. Drag an empty small bowl to collect the chopped yellow onion.
- Red Onion: Drag the red onion (different from the one sorted) to the cutting board. The knife will chop it. Drag an empty small bowl to collect the chopped red onion.
- Ginger: Drag the ginger root to the cutting board. The knife will peel and chop it. Drag an empty small bowl to collect the chopped ginger.
- Chili Peppers: Drag the red chili peppers to the cutting board. The knife will chop them. Drag an empty small bowl to collect the chopped chili peppers.
- Completion: Once all ingredients are meticulously chopped and placed in their respective bowls/containers, this phase is complete, and the scene shifts to marinade preparation.
Step 3: Crafting the Potent Jerk Marinade Cookingdom Level 55
