Year 3 - Vegetable Dumplings

Today we all enjoyed preparing and tasting vegetable dumplings. 

In Writing we looked at the recipe and ensured we had all the ingredients we need to make them. We practiced different cutting techniques depending on the food we were chopping. We fried our ingredients and had a go at folding a dumpling wrapper with our cooked filling in the shape of a moon. 

Once they had been steamed, we realised that some shapes cooked better than others. The envelope method was by far the better one as it didn't open up whilst cooking and stayed closed. 

We all enjoyed tasting and evaluating our vegetable dumpling. Some would have added more ginger or different vegetables, whereas others thought the dumpling felt quite slimy.
