Cooking method used yesterday was stir-fry

This means the pan was on a high heat and the veggies are cooked for a short period of time.

We know when the chicken is cooked when its wight in the middle and when the juice is wight.
And the internal temp is over 70c
The nutrients we get from the practical yesterday were carbohydrates, Vitamins and protein.

Moe chose three and tell me their fun

Spaghetti Bolognese
Makeover Changes

Swap with 1 tablespoon of canola oil or margarine
Swap for learning mince Eg: premium or prime
Reduce to 1/4 tsp iodised salt
Reduce - Use tomatoes with no added salt or fresh tomatoes

Reduce by half due to salt content Add vegetables such as grated carrot and peppers for fibre and nutrients

Can use wholemeal pasta for increase fibre Check- using a non-stick pan

Flavour - add fresh tomatoes and herbs for flavour boost instead of salt


What is the focus of the meals that we are cooking for this unit?

The focus if making the meal is to stay healthy

If I could add to the recipe I would put in peas and corn
