side: mini chicken ham kebabs

Dish 2: Stir-fried Bok Choy

1. Strength: I was able to finish making all my dishes on time, and my dishes turned out presentable and scrumptious.

2. 1 area of improvement is to make more egg mixture so that the rolled egg could have more layers and it would look nicer.

Rolled egg with carrots: Taste: The rolled egg is soft and the carrots tasted sweet.

Texture: Rolled egg is smooth while the carrots have a rough exterior.

Appearance: Rolled egg and carrots are visually appealing as the different colours are vibrant, with the rolled egg having many layers, making it eye-catching.

side dish: honey garlic chicken

the egg fried rice is fragrant with perfectly cooked jasmine rice. its made with scrambkled eggs, a sprinkle of green onion

the honey garlic chicken are tender on the inside with a crispy, lightly golden crust on the outside. The chicken tenders are glazed with a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce—sweet from the honey and slightly tangy from the garlic, with just a touch of soy sauce

side dish: rice paper rolls with pepper, carrots and chicken

1.My strengths when cooking my dishes is time management of what I was supposed to do at the time and not just stand around blankly. I also managed to substitute the ingredients which I did not have with other ingredients. For example, when I did not have the iceberg lettuce for my spring rolls, I substituted it with bell pepper.

2.I could improve on using minimal cutleries and plates as it took me a while to do as I had many to wash just because I did not reuse the plates and cutleries. This took a lot of PE time which was not acceptable. I can improve this problem by finding a way to reuse my plates and use the time in between cooking to wash my dishes.

3.The chicken egg fried rice had a savory and slightly salty flavor. The tender chicken adds a mild, juicy, meaty note, while the scrambled egg gives a soft richness and slight creaminess. The soy sauce manages to bring a slightly salty, tangy, or even mildly sweet kick. The carrots added a light sweetness and freshness. The overall taste is well-balanced and comforting.It has a mouthwatering, savory aroma from the fried rice mixed with the warm, slightly nutty scent of sesame oil. The cooked chicken gives off a mild meaty fragrance, while the egg adds a subtle, toasty eggy smell. The rice was a little dry but easy to digest, the chicken pieces were tender and juicy; the scrambled egg was soft and smoky, the carrots provided small bursts of crunch. The fried rice also has a light, slightly chewy bite from the rice grains, sometimes with tiny crispy edges if well-fried. It’s visually colorful and appealing. The rice was brown from the soy sauce, had brown chicken pieces, and the diced carrots added an orange effect. The dish looked pretty dry.

The first bite gives a fresh, light, and slightly chewy sensation. The soy sauce–marinated chicken brings a savory, salty flavour with a mild sweetness. The green and red peppers add a crisp, juicy freshness with a slightly sweet and grassy note. The rice paper itself is neutral in taste, letting the fillings shine, and when dipped into the sesame sauce which was brought from home, you get an extra layer of sweet and nutty.It smells fresh and clean, with a delicate aroma of the rice paper. The marinated chicken adds a savory, slightly sweet and salty scent, while the fresh bell peppers contribute a mild grassy, almost fruity fragrance. The rice paper is soft, thin, and slightly chewy on the outside. Inside, it was a tender, juicy chicken, paired with the crisp, crunchy bite of the raw green and red peppers. The contrast between the chewy wrapper and crunchy vegetables makes every bite interesting and refreshing.The rice paper is semi-translucent, so you can see the colorful fillings inside. The brown chicken peeks through along with the vibrant red and green strips of bell pepper. The roll looks smooth and slightly shiny, neatly packed, and when cut in half, an attractive cross-section of colors and textures can be seen.

Side dish: sushi balls with soya sauce

I think that one of my strengths is taking photos of the end product of the food that I have cooked as I know some ways of different angles and seeing which angle suits it best. I think that I have to be more responsible to bring my own things and not borrow things from people from other classes. In my opinion I feel that my stir-fried fried rice and the sushi balls were not that bad, despite that I forgot to bring my cooking materials and stuff. The taste of the fried rice was flavored with just the right amount of salt. The texture was crunchy as there are corn and beans in the fried rice and you can taste the warm beans and corn all collided in your mouth. For the appearance, I added a gardening leaf and placed it at the side of my dish for a tiny decoration. I also placed a fork and a spoon as no lunch box is fully complete without cutleries. And for my sushi balls, the taste was salty as I put some soya sauce on the outside. The taste was crunchy as I wrapped the sushi balls with seaweeds. Overall, the appearance of my sushi balls were appetizing and made my mouth water even though the balls wasn't shaped exactly like a ball.

Dish 2: Chicken salad with mushrooms and carrots

Dish 1 has a fragrant smell of egg. The egg, rice and carrots are soft while the broccoli and capsicum give it a nice crunch.

Dish 2 has fresh and crunchy lettuce leaves with soft and tender chicken. The taste of the mushrooms and carrots give off a soy sauce like taste and are soft in texture.

Strength: I fried the rice without burning it and I cracked my eggs without having the shells inside.

Area of improvement: I could have cut the chicken into more even and neater pieces. I should have marinated my vegetables so it would taste even better

2nd dish: Sushi roll with cucumber and avocados, aside with cucumbers.

The Udon looked soft and slimy while the chicken looked golden-brownish and the enoki mushrooms looked soft, mashy and chewy. The sushi looked pasty and crunchy. The Udon was to soft as I boiled it for too long, and it tastes a bit sweet because of the soft and chewy enoki mushrooms, but savory at the same time as the miso adds the salty flavour. The chicken breast melts in you mouth as you can taste the hint of soy sauce. The sushi was hard and soft at the same time as the avocado is not fully ripened, which makes it hard to bite and bitter, but the rice softens everything out. The cucumbers canceled the bitterness of the avocados as it was crunchy, cold and refreshing.

I did well:

• Managing the time well

• Pan-frying the chicken breast with soy sauce till golden-brownish

I can improve on:

• Boiling the udon a little bit shorter

• Getting better avocados or I could mash the avocados to make it less crunchy

  
  

Name of dish 2:

Describe briefly the Sensory Evaluation, Strength & Area of improvement for each of the sensory descriptors

2. Texture

3. Appearance

dish two : stir fried bok choy

dish 2: mini chicken kebabs with capsicum.

appearance: the tomato pasta looks red with a hint of green due to the garnishing. you can see the pasta and slices of tomato and mushroom. the chicken skewers look colourful and appetizing to eat. there is a pattern of chicken chucks and capsicum slices.

texture: the pasta is soft as i may have overcooked them. the capsicum is crunchy and the chicken chucks are tender.

taste: the tomato pasta is tangy and cheesy as i put in some cheese. the chicken skewers are marinated with kebab seasoning to give it a more kebab aspect.

strength: i made my 2 dishes quickly yet with quality and i had alot of time to spare to wash my dishes and take pictures of them.

area to improve: i could have not overcooked my pasta so that it would not have been soft and mushy.

I regret not adding sauce as it made the noodles taste very bland. I could have added soy sauce or oyster sauce to give it some flavor. The chicken was tender and yummy and I added sauces which made it salty and tastier than the noodles, which had no sauce. I sprinkled some parsley on top of the chicken to garnish the dish and it give it more color. The dish was dry and slightly hard as a lot of time passed before I could eat it during recess. However, the chicken still tasted quite nice despite the hardness due to the sauce giving it a saltier taste. The noodles on the other hand, were not as appetizing, and were clumped together. The overall appearance was pleasant as there were many colors in the dish, giving it the sense dish a appetizing look.

Dish 2: Wrapped Stir-Fried spinach with tomatoes and carrots

The taste of the carrots, tomatoes and spinaches paired well with each other in the wrap. The wrap was very flavorful, with the sweetness of the tomato juice, and the saltiness of the spinach. Trying out this dish for the first time, I really enjoyed the combination of different vegetables in a wrap. The dish had a crunchy texture on the outside, with crunchy carrots soft, juicy tomatoes, and leafy spinach on the inside. The appearance of the dish was pleasant to look at with a variety of colors such as red, green, beige, and orange. This made the dish look more appetizing to teenagers, who prefer looking at a colorful dish.

Dish 2: Chicken with a healthy Teriyaki sauce

1. Strength: Was able to do it in the time limit, meaning everything was well cooked, dishes were clean, every cutlery was washed clean and the photo was taken well

2. Area of improvement: Was very rushed, the sauce could have been a little bit more thick, it was not that thick when I tasted it.

3. Both dishes were seasoned well, the fragrant aroma was there and it smelled really good. With the chicken with Teriyaki sauce being quite delicious, the sauce that was coated went well with the stir-fried bee hoon with the vegetables. It was very savoury and went well all together

dish 2: wholemeal vegetable wrap

Dish 2: Chicken with a healthy Teriyaki sauce

side: mini chicken ham kebabs

1. Strength = the pasta was easy to chew and not hard which means that i have boiled the pasta for the right amount of time and used my time wisely, therefore my strength is time management

2. Area of improvement = i should lesser the amount of salt that i put as it was too salty for my liking, i should also add more tomato sauce so that my pasta looks more red 

3. Dish 1: The pasta, chicken ham and mushrooms were all soft and easy to chew while the broccoli had a crunchy texture. Since I accidentally put too much salt, my pasta has a salty flavour.

   Dish 2: The capsicum had a crunchy texture while the mushrooms and chicken ham were soft, since I cut different colours of capsicum, my skewers were colourful and vibrant

dish 2: mash potato with brown sauce

Appearance: The tomato pasta looks red with a bit of green. The mash potato at the side looks flat and creamy

Texture: The pasta looks a little dry but favorable.it is a little creamy and soft.The mash potato was soft and mashy at the inside.

dish 2: stir fried broccoli

Stir fried chicken rice:

Appearance: The rice is slightly brown as I added soy sauce and chilli. the carrots are stiff. The chicken is brown and greasy because I minced it with soy sauce and added oil when I was frying it. The dish appears colourful when the rice, chicken, broccoli, pepper and carrots are added together. The fired broccoli is green and slightly brown because there are soy sauce added.

Taste: The rice is slightly salty because I added soy sauce on it. The vegetables inside are bland, especially the carrots because the pieces are too large. I should chop them into smaller pieces the next time I make the dish. The peppers are slightly sweet. The chicken is salty as I added too much soy sauce. I should add it less the next time. The dish tastes slightly salty in general.

Texture: The broccoli and peppers are juicy. The carrots are stiff because the pieces are too large. The chicken is tender and chewy because it is evenly cooked. The rice is fluffy as I brought the cooked rice.

Stir fried broccoli:

Appearance: The broccolis are green and greasy as I added too much oil to it.

Taste: It is slightly salty as I fried it with soy sauce, garlic and salt.

Texture: It is dry as I did not add water while frying it. It is hard as it is too dry.

Strength: I am good at using knife skills. I chopped the vegetables evenly and cut the chicken into suitable sizes. I also made good use of the ingredients provided and added suitable proportion of each sauce to make the rice into ideal flavour.

Spaces of improvement: I added too much salt into the rice so that it is too salty. I did not make good use of the timing as I spent too much time chopping and slicing the vegetables.

Dish 1 : Fried rice

Dish 2 : Boiled broccoli and carrots

The taste of the fried rice was a bit salty due to the amount of soya sauce used. The rice was also not cooked properly as some of it was still grainy and hard as it had not fully expanded yet. Things to improve on the fried rice can be being able to know how much water per amount of rice so it gets properly cooked in the future. The appearance was not very good looking as it was darker than it should be due to the soya sauce. One way to make sure that never happens again is to measure how much sauce I put in in the future much more precisely.

The taste of the broccoli and carrots were a bit bland due to the fact that it was not cooked with any sauces but despite that it still tasted great. The texture was soft as it was cooked well and was not hard to bite as I had also cut in into small bite sized pieces.
