Microteaching

Microteaching 5:
Seafood J


That’s our microteaching on seafood. This brought back to my Olevel pratical examination where I prepared seafood dishes for my O'level topic J
From the dishes which we had prepared today, the tempura prawn, chili crab and preparation of the fish, were the highlights for today’s practical.
Preparing the fish was the highlight, we did de-scaling, cleaning and washing of the fish.
To be honest, this is the first time which I am doing it.
Have not done it before, and this is a great experience as it adds on to our knowledge, especially when we will need to teach our students in the future.

Oh yes, preparation of the crab was an eye-opener. Some of the crabs that my classmates were preparing were still alive. Despite the screams and getting freaked out, indeed all of us had a real experience in handling of crab. Like ICT course always emphasize, learning by doing is one of the most effective ways to learn.

And so, heres the overall evaluation of the dishes which we had prepared today:


Overall Evaluation of Dishes

Tempura Prawns
J Technique : Deep-frying and making of wasabi sauce
J Key Ingredients: Prawns, wasabi and egg white

The batter was great and it seals the flavour of the prawn.

Wasabi mayonnaise sauce adds an overall zest to the flavour.
A great dish :)

J Key Ingredients: Blue Crab
J Learning Points: Preparation of the crab

Love the sweet and sour chilli sauce. It was another great dish.

Definitely worth the screams we went through.


Saba Fish

J Technique: Grilling
J Key Ingredients: Selar Fish
J Learning Points: Grilling
J Thumbs up number: 4/ 5

Comments:
A malay-style fish that captures the flavour of nasi lemak. The use of banana leaves rather than aluminium foil seals the flavour and preserves the traditional look of this dish.



To end off, heres a video on de-scaling of the fish:
