Hello, I'm Mr. Ballam.

Thanks ever so much for choosing this lesson.

I'm really pleased you're joining me today.

And we're going to be making spring rolls and learning lots of other things about spring rolls too.

And we're going to be learning different types of food skills that we're going to use to make the spring rolls.

So let's get started, shall we? So what are we going to learn today? Well, we're going to learn how to make spring rolls together.

I'm sure they're going to be absolutely delicious.

Now, there are some keywords that we're going to cover.

The first word is starter, and this is the first course of a meal.

And sometimes, people have a three-course meal, and the first part is called a starter because it's the first thing.

Makes sense, doesn't it? The second word is wrapper, and this is the outside layer of a spring roll, or it could be a layer of a pie, for example.

And the third keyword is filling, and this is the ingredients, the food inside the spring roll.

So if you can imagine the spring roll has an outer wrapper and a middle filling.

Let's get started with the first part of the lesson, the origins of spring rolls.

So spring rolls are wrapped parcels, and they're formed of a wrapper and a filling.

Remember those keywords that we just looked at.

The wrapper is on the outside, and the wrapper is like thin pastry.

The filling is on the inside, and it could include things like vegetables, meat, fish, and some different types of sauces too.

So here's the wrapper on the outside, and here's the filling.

You can see that being put into the middle of the wrapper.

Now, there are many different types of spring roll, and the type of wrapper and the filling changes depending on the recipe and where you are around the world.

And there are different types of spring rolls from places like Vietnam, China, and Japan.

Look at the photographs.

You can see the different variations there, can't you? Different colours, different ingredients, different wrappers, different fillings.

So have you been listening? Okay, so what are the two main parts of a spring roll? A, B, C.

That's right, it's B and C.

It's wrapper and filling.

They are the main parts of a spring roll.

Well done.

You're doing really well.

Now, spring rolls are often served as a starter.

Do you remember the beginning of a meal, at the start of a meal? And with a meal, we might have a starter, a main course, and then a dessert.

Well, sometimes people call it pudding.

Now, spring rolls are often fried, and that means they're cooked in hot oil, a type of fat.

And some of the oil, the fat, is soaked into the spring roll during cooking.

But spring rolls can be healthier.

So how could the spring roll be healthier? Well, what you could do is you could cook them in the oven, or you could steam them, and therefore there'd be less fat.

They wouldn't have any oil on them from frying, would they? Well done.

So true or false? Oven-baked spring rolls are healthier than fried.

That's true, isn't it? And why? Well, it's true because baked spring rolls contain less oil or fat than fried spring rolls.

Well done.

That's quite a tricky one, isn't it? I've got a little challenge for you here.

I hope you like it.

Now, Lucas wants to make some veggie spring rolls for Izzy.

Oh, that's kind of him, isn't it? Izzy loves her vegetables.

I want you to create two different spring roll fillings.

Think about all the different types of ingredients you could use.

Do remember we talked about vegetables, maybe a little bit of fish or meat and different types of sauces.

Okay, good luck.

Pause the video, and come back when you're done.

So how did you get on? Let's look at some examples, shall we? Well, the first one here, this example has got red pepper, sweetcorn, peas, and soy sauce.

Mm, that sounds delicious.

And the other example has got carrot, mushroom, spring onion, and chilli sauce.

Ooh, I bet that one will be good.

Mm, love the chilli sauce.

I bet you've come up with some really creative examples, didn't you? Well done.

Let's move on to the next part of the lesson of making your spring rolls.

Now, to make your spring rolls, we're going to be using different food skills, and one of the first food skills we're going to use is grating.

And this is where we grate food onto a grater to make smaller bits, isn't it? Now, we need to make sure we use the grater carefully because it's very sharp.

Let's look at a video together to see grating.

So you can see here, they're holding the grater down carefully on the chopping board, and they're moving the carrot up and down the grater.

And they're being very careful not to get their fingers anywhere near the grater.

Ta-da! There you have grated carrot, well done.

So that's grating.

That's one of the food skills you're going to be using.

You're also going to be measuring, and we're going to be measuring different ingredients.

We're going to be measuring the bean sprouts and the peas, and we're going to be using weighing scales.

And we're also gonna be measuring other ingredients, and we're gonna be using measuring spoons.

And we're gonna use those to measure the oil, for example.

So two different ways to measure ingredients.

We're also going to be snipping.

That's right, we're going to be snipping the spring onions, and we're be going to be using kitchen scissors to snip.

You can see here, holding the kitchen scissors very carefully, snipping the spring onion into the bowl.

So that's snipping.

Another food skill we're going to be using is mixing.

I bet you're quite good at this one now, aren't you? And we're going to mix everything together really, really well.

We want it really well combined together, don't we? And to mix, we're going to use a spoon.

So we're gonna spoon to make sure everything is evenly mixed together.

Now, I hope you've been listening.

So which of these would you use to measure oil? Would it be A, B, or C? That's right, it's C, isn't it? We're gonna be using measuring spoons.

We're gonna be using measuring spoons to measure the oil that we need for our spring rolls.

We're also going to be folding, and we need to fold everything together carefully.

And we're going to put the filling in the wrapper and fold the wrapper around the filling to make our spring roll.

Now, you also need to remember to fold in the sides, 'cause if not, the ingredients would fall out either end, wouldn't they? And that wouldn't be very good.

So we need to fold everything together very neatly and carefully.

We're also going to be brushing.

So before we bake them, we're going to brush a little bit of oil over the food.

And we need to make sure we only use a small brush that is only used for food.

I mean, you wouldn't want to use a painting brush, would you? No, that wouldn't be very hygienic, would it? So we only use a small brush that's only used for food.

Then your teacher will cook the spring rolls for you.

They'll take the baking tray and put them in the oven and bake them so they're lovely and crispy.

Okay, quick check for you here.

So why do we use brushing? Is it A, to brush oil off the wrapper, B, to brush oil on the wrapper, or C, to brush the filling in the wrapper? That's right, isn't it? It's B.

We're using the brush to brush the oil onto the wrapper.

You can see here, that's happening in the photograph, isn't it? So let's get on then and make our spring rolls, shall we? Now, before you cook, I want you to think about getting ready to cook.

So that's things like making sure you've tied up any long hair, you've removed jumpers, you've washed your hands, and you've put a clean apron on, and also that you've got all your ingredients and equipment ready.

And then while you're cooking, I want you to think about making sure that you're safe and hygienic, and I want you to think about using your food skills too.

And here's the recipe.

So here's the ingredients that you'll need, and here are the equipment that you'll need.

So take note, and get all these ready.

You can always pause the video now if you want.

And here's the method for making your spring rolls.

Here's steps 1 to 7, and here's steps 8 to 14.

It's quite a long recipe, but it's really delicious and really worth it too.

You're gonna really enjoy making them, I'm sure.

So look at the recipe, follow the stages, and good luck.

Pause the video now, and come back when you're finished.

See you soon.

Okay, so how did you get on? How's your spring rolls? Are they smelling good, looking good, tasting good? I bet they are.

So let's go through the steps, shall we, and see how you did to make your spring roll.

So first of all, we cut off the top and the bottom of the carrot.

We then peeled the carrot and then grated it.

We then snipped the spring onions with the kitchen scissors.

We added the beansprouts, peas, and oyster sauce.

We mixed everything together.

On the work surface, we put a filo sheet on that, and we cut it in half.

So we needed to spoon some mixture and put that at the top of the piece of pastry.

We then folded over twice with the filling inside and the wrapper on the outside.

And then we folded over the two edges so everything kept inside.

And then we folded it up all the way to the end to make our spring roll.

We then used the other pieces of pastry to make all the other spring rolls too following the same steps.

We then put them on the baking tray, we brushed them with oil, and then our teacher took them away and baked them so they come out really lovely and golden brown and crispy too.

I bet your spring rolls came out really well.

I bet they smell absolutely amazing.

So I really hope you enjoyed making the spring rolls, that you've learned loads going through this, and there's things you'll be able to use in the future too.

So remember, spring rolls are wrapped parcels, and they're formed of a wrapper and a filling.

And you can often eat spring rolls as a starter before your main meal.

And spring rolls can be cooked in the oven, and these are healthier than the ones that are fried.

Do you remember why? That's right, because they use less oil.

And to make spring rolls, we use the following food skills.

So we grated, we did snipping, mixing, folding, and brushing.

Brilliant, well done.

You've done so well today.

I'm really proud of your progress.

It's quite a tricky recipe, spring rolls, but absolutely delicious and really worth doing.

And I hope you make them again.

Perhaps you can use different types of wrappers or different types of ingredients in the filling too.

So I hope to see you again very soon for another cooking and nutrition lesson.

Take care.

I'll see you soon, bye!.
