The first reason is that fried rice is a simple and easy recipe. We only have 5 steps to make it so it is good for a person who doesn't cook much like me. If you search on the internet we have many recipes for fried rice. Also, we have many different types of fried rice. On the internet, it said that it is a good combination with fish, crab, and tuna. Other ingredients that are good with fried rice are many vegetables and pork. If we put more vegetables in, you won’t gain that much weight.

The second reason is that it is better to eat fried rice rather than eating rice. I was thinking that when I choose Neapolitan spaghetti, I want to add rice to make it more like a set meal. But when I searched on the internet, it said that “This is because fried rice contains vegetables and the rice is coated with oil, so even though it consumes more calories than white rice, the rise in blood sugar levels is slower than with white rice.” So I chose Fried rice for my main dish.

1. What essential questions do I need to understand before I start?  

Why do you think cooking healthy food is important rather than eating at restaurant or eating unhealthy food everyday?

2. How do I know if I am eating healthy?

Use the spinning top if you want to know if you are eating the healthy food or not. Eating lots of vegetables and fruit and eat many whole grained and protein products. Also drink many water make you healthy body.

3. Why is food safety and accident prevention important?

It is important to learn food safety and accident because if you learn these important things about safety, you can protect yourself from food borne illnesses or injuries related to food consumption.

Instruction of Basic table settings: Basic table setting is for getting ready for an everyday dinner or a weekend breakfast. Basic table setting needs a placemat, fork, knife, and spoon, a dinner plate, a water and a napkin.

The instructions of Basic table setting is:

1. Lay the placemat on the table.

2. Put the dinner plate in the middle of the placemat.

3. Lay the napkin to the left of the plate.

4. Place the fork on the napkin.

5. To the right of the plate, place the knife closest to the plate, blade pointing in. Place the spoon to the right of the knife. (Note: The bottoms of the utensils and the plate should all be level.)

6. Place the water glass slightly above the plate, in between the plate and the utensils, about where 1 p.m. would be on a clock face.

The reason why I choose the Basic Table Settings:

I choose Basic table setting because it is easy to get ready for everyday breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Also I thought Casual setting and Formal setting are too many for everyday dinner and it is for the time when someone came to your house, not when you eat everyday.

Provide a very brief description or heading for each link to indicate what it is about.

This is a video that shows how to use knife and cut safely.

I choose this video from many other kinds of videos.

I choose this video because the woman teaches us very clearly about how to use knifes properly. Also she show us many kinds of cutting like oblique cut, mincing, and julienne by using different vegetables. We can see step by step and she included how to cut in large, medium, and small size.

The food pyramid is a food guide spinning top and it helps to have a well-balanced diet. It also shows how much you should eat per day for each ingredient, and it also shows what you should eat per day. You need to do physical activity and you should eat grain, and vegetable dishes about 5~7 serve (examples) and you should drink water or tea. Also, you can enjoy snacks too. 

For example: Morning

-Porridge and some fruit = 1 Grain, 1 vegetable and 1 fruit dish.

Lunch

-Spaghetti and salad = 1 grain and 1 vegetable dish.

Dinner

-Sushi, miso soup, and some fruit = 1 fish, 1 grain, and 1 fruit dish.

I enjoy my food and I think I had a good healthy dish.

I also drink many water.

Next time I will try to eat few dairy products and meat dish.
