Specialism: Year 8 Fried Rice

This week our Year 8's are continuing the theme of healthy, home made meals

we looked at fried rice...

our basic recipe uses pre-cooked and cooled rice- we discussed the use of soy sauce- 

dark soy gave the dish colour- light soy gives it flavour

what proteins can we use- we discussed using chicken, egg, bacon, beef and pork... and how we would process them

we also discussed pre-cooking our proteins before we added them to the rice

sweet chilli sauce and curry powder was used for flavouring too- sweet chilli was our favourite and if we use curry powder we have to add it early to release the flavours

next week will be fun because we will add flavours to suit our tastes... we need to be careful not to add too much...
