Assessment cooking lesson

This lesson was my assessment cooking lesson. I cooked a chicken stir fry with coconut milk and broccoli. This lesson I was much more organized with my recipe And being early to class. First I grabbed all my ingredients from the front. I then got out a chopping board and started to chop the raw chicken into strips. After practicing chopping the chicken several times from when I practiced in last weeks and at home I found i was quicker at chopping it. After that I changed chopping boards and cut up the veggies. Lastly I prepared the coconut mixture. I then heated my wok and poured oil in. I added crushed garlic and onion and let it fry up on a high heat. When it was time to add the broccoli I realized that I did not get it. I asked the teacher and she gave it to me. Quickly I washed it and chopped it. I then added it in and fried it for a little longer. Next I transferred to another bowel. Then I Was ready to but THR chicken it. I added some more oil. When i Put the chicken in the pan was vey hot! It burnt the chicken a tiny bit but i quickly turned off the pan and moved all the chicken to the side. When It cooled down I put the chicken back on at a suitable temperature. It then cooked finely and i made sure it was cooked through the middle. I then added the coconut mixture in the wok with the chicken. Lastly I added the veggies and onion back in to the pan. I then put the lid on and let it simmer. The rice was cooking at the front so I went and got that and put it in a little bowel for my partner Bridget. After it finished simmering I put it in another bowel and presented it Nicely with a lovely green broccoli floret on top! I really enjoyed cooking as I wasn't in as much of a rush then last lesson. However the taste of the dish was different from last week. This is because last week I used red curry paste because there was only red to choose from and this week I used green curry paste because it is in the recipe. This gave the dish a completely different taste. However I honestly think that my partner enjoyed the taste of the dish better last week. Now I know that red curry paste better and can remember that for next time I cok the dish for my family. The meal is a very beneficial meal. It has protein from the chicken, a vegetable source from the broccoli, carbohydrates from the rice and a little bit of fat from the oils. Also the garlic and ginger in the dish is very good for your overall health. Overall I think I did a good job cooking the dish and it provided a healthy balanced meal for my partner.
