Chào các cô! Chào các bạn! J
Chúng em là LAV1201 Việt một sinh viên. Nhóm của chúng em có bốn người: Minh Thơ, Minh Tĩên, Minh Huệ and Minh Đức. Chúng em đi thầy Minh’s nhà vào sáng thứ bảy cho cooking project. Thầy Minh sống ở Bukit Panjang Mayspring. Chúng em did gỏi gà cho cooking project. Chúng em mua all the ingredients in chợ, Giant và Cold Storage.
Ingredients:
Chicken Salad
3 pieces 200g chicken breast fillets
2 tablespoons vegetable oil sea salt
White pepper use black if that is all you have
1 cup bean sprout
1 cup Vietnamese mint leaf
1 cup Asian basil leaves
4 cups Chinese cabbages finely shredded
1 cup carrot peeled and finely julienned
Vietnamese Dressing
60 ml Lime juice
60 ml Fish sauce
1 tablespoon caster sugar
2 very finely chopped Garlic Cloves optional
3 finely sliced red Asian shallots or 1/2 red onion
2 small very finely chopped red chilli
Method:
Chicken Salad
· Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F/Gas 7).
· Heat a frying pan over a high heat, and while the pan is heating, brush the chicken with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
· Place the chicken skin-side down and sear for 2 minutes, turn and sear for another minute.
· Put the chicken on a baking tray and cook in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Leave to rest for 20 minutes.
· Shred the chicken into thin strips with your hands and place in a large bowl.
· Add the remaining ingredients and toss to combine.
Vietnamese Dressing
Place all the ingredients in a small bowl and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
These are the vegetables that we prepared:
Us in action:
Each of us prepared one aspect Minh Thơ sliced carrots, Minh Tĩên plucked the cabbage, Minh Huệ cut the shredded chicken, and Minh Đực plucked the basil and mint leaves.
We are supposed to prepare for roughly 10 person but the ingredients we brought was more than enough and we made a big bowl of chicken salad.
Personal reflection:
The preparation took about 1 hr. The actual process isn’t that long actually (most of the time was spent waiting for Cô Bích to dạy chúng em how to slice and arrange the ingredients). It was an enjoyable time as we got to know more about each other through this teamwork. While waiting for Cô Bích to come and teach us, we ate some of the chicken we prepared and grabbed a few Vietnamese spring rolls another group had made. Ngon tuyệt! But some of us got caught by Cô Bích for secretly eating and got scolded for being greedy.
We also had to prepare the dressing sauce, whose main component is the famous fish sauce much-loved by Vietnamese. The dressing required loads of sugar as well, so that salad would have a delicate sweet-sour taste to it.

This is the first time, I ăn Vietnamese cuisine. It is very delicious and special. Cô Bìch dạy chúng em how to differentiate lime and calamansi, Italian basil and Thai basil. And we realized how great a mistake we made in getting out ingredients. Cô Bìch cũng dạy chúng em how to make delicious Vietnamese dressing for our gỏi gà by using fish sauce and sugar.
Chúng em finished nấu our gỏi gà trước mười hai giờ̀. Sau decorating gỏi gà, chúng em và các bạn đi function hall with all of our Vietnamese đồ ăn. Chúng em get to talk to all Việt một sinh viên and some of the seniors. It was a very good chance to know more about Vietnamese culture through Vietnamese đồ ăn.

I felt that the cooking project really helped all the students become closer. I got the opportunity to chat and joke with classmates, and also see all of us in action, helping out with food preparation. But I was rather clumsy that day and kept knocking into things. I ended up wasting quite a lot of chicken which dropped on the floor. Nevertheless, it was fun! My favorite part of the project was … eating! I love all the desserts the best, especially the banana soup and Cô Lê’s drink! Thanks to everyone for their wonderful dishes!

The most memorable part of the nấu ăn experience was making the gỏi gà dressing. Cô Bìch dạy em làm thế nào make the dressing sauce: by mixing cá sauce, sugar, lime juice, some chopped garlic, shallots and chilies. Em added the sugar to the mixture and cô Bìch tried, nhưng sauce là too salty so in the end em added almost ½ the container of sugar. However, our gỏi gà was still a bit salty in the end. Despite this, em had fun cooking together and interacting with the other tiếng Việt sinh viên. Cô Bìch cũng dạy chúng em how to garnish the gỏi gà using tomatoes and chili as decorations. Sau khi tiếng Việt sinh viên xong nấu ăn, chúng em và các bạn finally get to eat Việt đô ăn chúng em prepared. Em specially thích the Gỏi Cuốn as it has a unique taste. Em muốn học Gỏi Cuốn để nấu ăn cho gia đình.
