This week in the classroom we read the book The Have a Good Day Cafe about a Korean American family that operates a food cart. We learned that the Korean word for rice is bap!
In the kitchen we made kimbap, which consists of rice seasoned with sesame oil rolled in seaweed with a variety of fillings. Our kimbap filling options were cooked carrot, cooked cucumber, braised burdock, pickled daikon, cooked spinach, sesame seeds, and egg. We challenged each first grade chef to try at least two ingredients they either had never tried before or weren’t sure they would like.
Our rice exploration is off to a fun start.
