Open Steak Burgers

 In our home economics class, we were making open steak burgers! This was a pretty quick lesson as the only thing that took a long time to prepare was the steak. In the end, the steak was a tiny bit overcooked and it needed more flavour but my group didn't want anything interesting in their burgers so the burger was over plain, but the sauce helped. Even though our dish wasn't the most delicious dish I've ever had it was still fun to make!

Rice paper spring rolls

During today's lesson, in our home economics class, we were given a full demonstration on how to make rice paper spring rolls by our teacher Mrs. Rhodes followed by the class trying to replicate the process of making the rolls. This was excitingly fun as it was something me and my classmates had never made before. It was surprisingly not as easy as it sounds as the rice paper was very delicate and would either snap or tear when dunking the paper into the cold water. The whole meal was overall delicious and is a fun snack I would definitely recommend although rice paper was soggy and had no flavour, the vegetables gave a nice crunchy texture to the rolls and the sauce, in my opinion, made the dish as it gave a sweet yet spicy flavour that really went with the rice paper and the vegetables.

4. Place your fillings in the centre of the softened sheets.

5. Fold the two sides of the rice paper sheet towards the middle.
