What was the most challenging aspect of the summative lab?
This lab was pretty easy, the only thing I would say was being able to roll the sushi was tricky at first. My group and I tried following the video we saw in class, but when we tried it, it didn’t really work. Instead of using the bamboo mat to roll the sushi at first, we folded the nori over, rolled it a few times, then used the bamboo mat to cover it and secure it for a minute. Another challenging aspect was having to cut the sushi with out having the filling fall out. We had to be very gentle with the sushi. Other than these small obstacles, the lab was pretty fun and easy.
What did you use from your experience last time, and what did you do differently this time?
As you can see in the picture, I placed my sushi on the plate with some veggies next to it, so it wouldn’t look so lonely. This was just like how I did with my egg roll. What I did differently for this lab, is that I place a piece of cucumber to make it look like a leaf on top of the sushi. I also created a design on the back of the plate using Hoisin sauce to enhance the presentation and make it look cooler and presentable. What I also noticed this time, was that I was able to manage my time more and complete the summative lab with out any stress. It was a calm lab.
