TASK DEFINITION: Given a paragraph about cooking, and a set of conversational questions and answers about the paragraph, say whether the passage contains sufficient information to answer the follow-up question. Say Yes if it is answerable; otherwise, say No. The paragraph has the prefix 'CONTEXT:'. Each conversation question has a prefix `Q:` followed by the answer prefix `A:`, and the follow-up question has a prefix `FOLLOWUP_Q:`.
PROBLEM: CONTEXT: Umami is the result of glutamic acid (ions) getting in touch with the tongue. Glutamic acid in fish sauce is the result of a fermentation process, which involves bacteria doing the work of breaking down fish components. Glutamic acid easily dissolves in water though. This is after all, how it was detected millennia ago and centuries ago verified by creating glutamic acid salts: Cooking seaweed in water and boiling the result down.The wakame is added due to its natural content of glutamic acid. There isn't anything special the pineapple can/has do to it that regular water can't do.Therefore the answer is: No, the purpose of the pineapple is not to increase the glutamic acid of the substitute.  <sep>  Q: How does pineapple affect umami when used in vegan-fish-sauce recipes? A: There isn't anything special the pineapple can/has do to it that regular water can't do  Q: I have seen mushroom and wakame as ingredients in fish sauce substitutes but does pineapple just take the cake? A: The wakame is added due to its natural content of glutamic acid. There isn't anything special the pineapple can/has do to it that regular water can't do  Q: A number of recipes are simmering fresh chopped pineapple along with salty ingredients before straining### does that add umami or in any way help extract umami? A: No, the purpose of the pineapple is not to increase the glutamic acid  Q: any other things i still need to know more? A: Umami is the result of glutamic acid (ions) getting in touch with the tongue. Glutamic acid in fish sauce is the result of a fermentation process  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: i still want more information about it. Thanks

SOLUTION: Yes

PROBLEM: CONTEXT: Some of your 'shortcuts' are not good ideas. Definitely start with cold water. Definitely bring up the temp slowly. Definitely do not boil. Do add aromatics upfront to the broth, but remove them as they get mushy so they don't cloud it.Standard ratio for beef broth would be: 8 pounds of bones to 6 quarts of water to 1 pound of veggies (onion, leek, carrot) to one 'boquet garni', essentially garlic, rosemary, anise flavoring for pho, and bay leaf, plus whatever else I forgot.If you have 'pond water', which I interpret as thin-tasting, you probably put too much water in the second time -- this is fixable by slowly evaporating out the water until it gets to a good texture. If you skimmed properly, it will be clear as you do this. I will typically strain through a kitchen towel or cheesecloth as the liquid evaporates down.I'm guessing you put in like a gallon of water, so you had like three or four times too much water.As a warning which you probably already know, you are not going to be able to duplicate your local pho joint's broth -- the broth recipe is the thing for pho makers, and they probably have a bunch of tricks they use, including using a neverending supply of yesterdays pho, that you won't be able to do at home. That said, you should be able to get a good beef broth if you follow some basic rules for making stock.  <sep>  Q: My beef broth is not coming out right, how do I properly make beef pho broth? A: Some of your 'shortcuts' are not good ideas. Definitely start with cold water  Q: Alright, what would the next step be? A: Definitely bring up the temp slowly. Definitely do not boil  Q: I boiled mine, perhaps that is where I am going wrong. What would I do next? A: Do add aromatics upfront to the broth, but remove them as they get mushy so they don't cloud it  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Any other advice?

SOLUTION: Yes

PROBLEM: CONTEXT: Sous vide cooking is a function of temperature and the surface area to volume ratio of the food in question.If you have a high surface area to volume the cooking time will be shorter. Steaks would have a higher ratio than the roast so they would take less time than the roast. The amount of the time difference is difficult to predict exactly over such a long time scale, but a rough calculation of the ratio I spoke of would be a good starting point for a compensation factor.If you have the time and your water bath can accommodate, I'd suggest keeping the roast whole and finishing in a skillet. It's much more impressive than a steak.  <sep>  Q: Should I Sous vide chuck roast or chuck steaks? A: Steaks would have a higher ratio than the roast so they would take less time than the roast  Q: Which would taste better? A: If you have the time and your water bath can accommodate, I'd suggest keeping the roast whole and finishing in a skillet. It's much more impressive than a steak  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How long would the roast take?

SOLUTION:
No
