  • A new dish at the cocking station.

    Yup, still my granny; she likes to take lessons from the nurses that she likes to be assisted. It's a sort of cooking game for kids, but we know that old age makes you go back to your childhood. nothing to be ashamed, when you can't control things as you used to do maybe a retirement with the hobby of cocking it's not a bad idea.

    So, this is what she learn:

    Wrap your own spring rolls

    A. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Before you get the kids cooking, put the noodles, vegetables, prawns and chicken in individual bowls for everyone to help themselves. Wash hands, put aprons on, sit the kids down and give them their own mixing bowl and spoon. Let them choose which ingredients they want (noodles are essential) in their rolls and if they want to graze as they choose, that’s fine – all the ingredients are cooked or can be eaten raw. Add a bit of garlic and ginger, a tiny dash of soy and sprinkling of five-spice to each bowl and let them mix everything together.

    B. Push the bowl aside and lay a sheet of pastry in front of each child. Ask them to spoon the filling down one side of each sheet then give them the beaten egg and a brush so they can brush around the edges. Then help them to roll them up neatly by folding both sides over the filling, then rolling them up and be careful not to roll them inside.

    C. Lift the spring rolls onto a baking tray, seam side down, brush with a little more egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if you want. Try to remember which child made which roll to save any arguments at the end! Bake the rolls until golden.

    D.While the rolls are in the oven, make the dipping sauce. Get the kids to mix all the ingredients together until the sugar has dissolved. When the spring rolls are golden and crisp, remove from the oven with cool attitude. Leave until cool enough to handle, cut into pieces for smaller kids, then let them eat.
