SLS33-From My kitchen To Your Plate Week#3 Kids In The Kitchen[Jollof aRice]

Somedays ago I and my nephew were busy in the kitchen cooking jollof rice. My nephew and I both went to the market together, and we bought the ingredients for cooking from the market. We then returned home with the ingredients and cooked together and ate. The process of making the food was very simple, and we prepared it in our native way, which we make use of the following ingredients:

Ingredients

• Rice
• Fish (Titus)
• Palm oil
• Maggi
• Crayfish
• Onion
• Pepper
• Salt

Step 1 We begin by getting all the ingredients ready, and we grind the pepper and onion, and then slice some onion also and kept it aside.

Step 2 After we have gotten all the ingredients ready, our cooking became easier, faster,r and more fun. After doing that, my nephew ground crayfish, while I was preparing other ingredients.

Step 3 We parboiled and washed the rice with normal-temperature water and put it into a pot, added a little amount of seasoning like Maggi, salt, or curry and Thyme to taste better.

Step 4 When that was all done, I continued by placing a clean pot on fire with some amount of water, and when the water started boiling, I added my washed rice into the pot and stirred, then covered the pot and allowed it to boil for some minutes.

Step 6 At this stage, some little amount of palm oil was added to a clean pot, and then the fish was also added so that it would fry for a few minutes to prevent the fish from getting scattered.

The reason why I did that was to help the fish be strong or to stay firm while I would be mixing the rice on fire,

Step 7 Now I add sliced onion and ground pepper and onion alongside the crayfish, stir, then add some water and your seasoning like Maggi and salt, then cover the pot and allow it to boil, and add your already parboiled or washed rice into the boiling mixture.

Allow the rice to cook until it gets soft, then add your fish and stir gently, then cover the pot and allow it to steem for a while before removing it from the fire.

Your Opinion

It is a great idea for parents to allow their children, especially the female ones, to help them in cooking because they would learn how to cook by helping in the kitchen. Like me, nobody taught me how to cook; I learned how to cook through helping my mother in the kitchen, and then I would just observe how she was putting things on fire, cutting onions, and grinding pepper.

Precautions

The precautions when cooking with children are putting on hand gloves, avoiding shape object, and staying away from anything sharp in the kitchen.
