(MENAFN- TimesNewswire ) On October 26th, Dezhou No. 5 Middle School held the second edition of the“Chef Battle,” where middle school students transformed into“little chefs,” skillfully wielding spatulas and firing up barbecues, showcasing a variety of culinary styles. Parents of the students suggested,“Let the children handle the New Year's Eve dishes!”
The“Chef Battle” kicked off with assistant chefs meticulously cutting and preparing ingredients, while the head chefs held their large ladles, cooking with seamless efficiency. A student commentator stood beside the cooking station, saying,“Today, we're making braised pork, which is a signature dish of Su Dongpo, the bold and free-spirited poet we are familiar with.”
At the competition venue, students went all out, frying shrimp to a crisp tenderness, cooking sweet and sour pork with the perfect balance of flavors, and delighting the taste buds with spicy and fragrant hot pot. There were also freshly baked pizzas, sushi platters, and other desserts. In just half an hour, a table was filled with a feast fit for a king, leaving people dazzled.
In this competition, a total of 30 teams participated, with each team preparing 1 to 2 dishes. The judging panel consisted of six representatives, including parents, students, and teachers. They evaluated the dishes based on color, taste, presentation, creativity, overall skills of the participants, and reasonable and healthy nutritional combinations. During the introduction of the dishes, the students explained the preparation process, nutritional value, and historical anecdotes from multiple perspectives. In the end, the judges awarded the students in categories such as best creativity, best presentation, best commentary, and best culinary skills. Afterwards, the students shared their food with each other.
“Our school includes 'cooking' as one of the subjects in the labor education curriculum. In class, we teach students about Chinese culinary culture, the eight major regional cuisines, historical anecdotes, and the nutritional value of various ingredients. We also organize visits to the kitchens of restaurants, where students can observe how the head chefs prepare and cook dishes. During holidays, cooking is assigned as a labor assignment to promote the comprehensive development of students,” said Zhang Jing, Vice Principal of Dezhou No. 5 Middle School. In the future, the school will continue to promote the concept of healthy eating, allowing students to exercise and enhance their understanding of labor, quality of life, and good habits, among other essential qualities.
