Golden syrup dumplings

In this lesson we made golden syrup dumplings. I made the sauce, and my partner started to make the dumplings mixture. We had to wait for the butter to melt in the sauce before taking it off the heat, as we did t want the mixture to bubble. I sadly had to leave early for a music eistedford, so I didn't have the chance to taste the dumplings or see how they turned out. I am sure I will make this at home for myself and mum and dad.

Okonomiyaki

In this prac lesson, we made okonomiyaki, which is Japanese pancakes. Because there was space in the hospitality kitchen, my Japanese buddy came and helped us cook the pancakes. I grated the sweet potato, and the other cut up the other ingredients and made the mixture. Once that was done, we placed the pancakes in the electric frypan and waiting. Once they were done, my Japanese buddy showed us how to put the Japanese mayo and sauce on the pancakes. They look delicious!

Chicken Yakitori

In this lesson, we made chicken Yakitori, which is japanese chicken skewers. I cut up the chicken, while Kerys made the sauce. Once the sauce had thickened up, and I placesd the chicken and green onion on the skewers, we put them straight into the electric frypan, after coating them with the sauce. We wanted to give the chicken as much flavour as we could, so when they were cooking, we would add mroe sauce. When we had a taste of it, the extra sauce really helped. Making this was really nice to eat, especially for lunch.

Theory

Today in this theory lesson, my partner and I looked at a different variety of books about the Italian cuisine. most of the books were filled with just recipes, but we did find this one helpful book about all the cured meats, cheeses, herbs and what they do in their holidays. It also gave us some background information on how they used it. I hope we can get a lot from this one book.
