Baked savoury rice
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can use food skills to make baked savoury rice for my school community.
Key learning points
- Rice dates back thousands of years to China. There are many types of rice used in different international dishes.
- Rather than using the hob, the dish is cooked covered in the oven. This keeps the heat and liquid in, cooking the dish.
- The food skills used to make baked savoury rice are measuring, peeling, chopping, mixing and using the oven (baking).
- Formal and informal feedback can help improve work in the future.
Keywords
Rice - the grains of a grass-like plant which is grown for food
Absorb - to ‘soak-up’ or ‘take-in’ liquid (like a sponge)
Feedback - in this context, information about how someone works or reactions to a food dish
Common misconception
Rice can only be cooked in a saucepan on the hob.
Rice can be cooked in different ways, such as on the hob, in a rice cooker, in the oven, and in a microwave. The hot water and steam help to ‘cook’ the rice.
Teacher tip
Allow pupils to be creative, choosing (from a given selection) a range of different vegetables, 'protein' foods, stock cubes (reduced salt) and spices. This approach encourages creativity, but is also manageable in the classroom environment.
Equipment
For ingredients and equipment see the recipe in additional materials.
