A few of the brave Year 10?s, once feeling more confident, ventured into making sashimi.
At the end of last term the Year 10 Hospitality and Catering group had a Sushi and Sashimi Demonstration during their lesson. The demonstration was given by Executive Chef, Carol Checkley of the Cupola Restaurant in Bury St Edmunds.
At first the students were worried that they would have to eat and work with raw fish but Carol explained that sushi is a Japanese speciality based on boiled special short grained rice and it is sashimi that is sliced raw fish that is served with condiments such as pickled ginger root, wasabi and soy sauce.
Once that concerned was cleared up Carol showed the students how to make various styles of sushi and sashimi. The Year 10?s then got down to making their nori rolls. To make these rolls, various chopped vegetables were enclosed in sushi rice and wrapped in thin sheets of nori (seaweed). The rolls were then cut into slices. Sushi is designed to be finger food and can be served as appetizers, snacks or a full meal. These rolls were then plated with soy sauce is which is for dipping and with a small quantity of wasabi.
Carol awarded four prizes for the Year 10?s efforts. Two for the best presentation and two for the sushi making. Lewis Rogers won the best presentation with Mathew Tansley coming second. Sammy Rain and Natalie Robinson both won the award for best sushi making.
Carol, Mrs Silk, Mrs Taylor and Mr Marsh were very impressed with the standard of the sushi prepared and the high level of behaviour and co-operation demonstrated by the Year 10 class. Well done to you all!
