 Your instructor will assign you a client profile that may contain: a special diet, specific
preferences/recipes to follow and/or specific religious requirements. Follow this profile
when completing your assignment.

1. Planning Phase (20 marks)

a. With your group, plan and prepare a nutritious, balanced, flavourful, and appealing
meal, based upon your assigned client profile.

Priority judgement: Steamed fish is the best food option compared to fried meat and/or a rich sauce. The
natural tenderness of fish makes it an easy dish to prepare, as well as being culturally appropriate and easy
to serve in hand portions that are low in fat. Sodium is the most important control; flavour is primarily
developed using ginger, garlic, spring onion, rice vinegar, and lemon, while a reduced-sodium soy sauce is
optional (it may be omitted if the instructor requests an even lower-sodium version), with one teaspoon of
reduced-sodium soy sauce used for the entire 2-person recipe.

Why this is balanced: The meal includes one serving of lean protein, one serving of rice (small to medium
size), 2 or more types of vegetables, a serving of fruit and a sugar-free beverage. It is not meant to be a
medicine, but rather a simple, easy food item that can be eaten at home and will meet the client's low-
sodium and low-fat limits, as well as his stated preferences.

4. Appearance and Table-Setting Plan

• Use a clean white dinner plate or shallow bowl to make the green bok choy, orange carrot,
pale fish and fresh spring onion stand out.
• Place the rice shaped neatly in a small bowl or cup, not on the plate.
• Arrange fish in the centre, pour some ginger and spring onion juices over the fish, and
garnish with fresh spring onion.
• Place vegetables next to fish but not too many. Keep food moist and serve hot.

 • Serve the warm pear in a small bowl to keep the savoury meal neat.
• Arrange chopsticks and a Chinese soup spoon or regular cutlery as per the client's comfort
level, a napkin and a solid cup of warm water or weak decaffeinated tea.
• Try to refrain from decorative salted sauces. The elements of attractiveness are colour, shape,
cleanliness, portion balance and fresh garnish.

Component Ingredient Quantity for 2 servings

Fresh ginger 3 thin slices

Water Enough to partly cover pear

Beverage Warm water or weak decaffeinated tea 1 cup per person

Equipment
• Rice cooker or small saucepan with lid
• Steamer basket, bamboo steamer, or heatproof plate placed inside a covered wok/pot
• Small frying pan or wok with lid
• Small saucepan for the pear
• Food thermometer, clean chopping boards, knife, measuring spoons and serving dishes
• Separate clean plate and utensils for cooked fish
Method: Logical Sequence

1. Prepare safely. Use soap and warm water for hand washing. Wipe down the work surface. Speak
to reduce standing time by getting all ingredients and equipment ready before food is cooked.
Refrigerate fish until needed.

2. Cook the rice. Rinse rice until the water is clear. Pour the measured water in and cook in a rice
cooker or covered saucepan. Cover and cook until soft and fluffy, 5-10 minutes.

3. Prepare the pear. In a small saucepan, combine pear quarters and ginger slices. Add water to
partially cover. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover and cook until softened, about 12-15 minutes. Do
not add sugar. Keep warm.

4. Prepare the fish. Be sure to inspect the fillets for bones. Dry it with a paper towel. Place on a
heatproof plate and top with ginger, garlic and half of the spring onion. Stir together the reduced
sodium soy sauce, vinegar or lemon juice, water and optional oil; pour over the fish.

5. Steam the fish. Put the plate in a steamer that is preheated. Cover and steam until it is tender,
about 8-12 minutes, depending on thickness. The fish should be opaque, flake readily and have a
safe internal temperature of approximately 70°C.

6. Cook the vegetables. In a pan, heat one teaspoon of canola oil. Mix in ginger, mushrooms and
carrot and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add water, cover and cook gently for 4–5 minutes. Add bok choy
and cook for 2-3 minutes or until vegetables have softened but retained their colour. Stir in rice
vinegar. Do not add salt.

7. Assess texture and temperature. Ensure that food is neither hot nor too hot for the child's dentures,
that fish is moist and boned, and that all hot food is warm but not too hot.

8. Plate attractively. Arrange a moderate mound of rice, fish in the centre and vegetables next to it.
Pour some cooking water over the fish and top with the rest of the spring onion.

 9. Serve. Offer warm pear alone and warm water or weak decaffeinated tea. Describe the dish face-
on to the client, demonstrating the correct meal temperature and amount, and ask for any feedback
on temperature or amount.

 c. Use a variety of sources such as cookbooks, recipes, pamphlets, etc., and be sure to
list them on your assignment. Include a copy of the recipe you have chosen and be
prepared to submit an alternate recipe that could be used to replace one of the
dishes you have selected. Be sure your recipes are clear and legible, follow a logical
sequence, and are complete.

Source use: The menu and recipes were developed specifically for Mr Chen. They were informed by
Canada’s Food Guide principles, heart-health guidance on sodium reduction, safe-cooking temperature
guidance, and recipe techniques commonly used for Chinese-style steamed fish and chicken. The complete
selected recipe appears earlier in this portfolio; the complete alternate recipe appears below.

Alternate Recipe: Steamed Ginger Chicken with Mushrooms and Bok Choy
Dish replaced: This recipe substitutes for the steamed fish and uses the same rice, tender vegetables, warm
pear and beverage. It is suitable when fish is unavailable or the client prefers chicken that day.

Yield 2 servings

Preparation time 15 minutes

Cooking time 18–22 minutes

Key features Skinless chicken, no frying, no added salt, soft texture, no beef or dairy

Nutrition and Hydration 15 | 6
Ingredient Quantity

Canola oil 1 teaspoon, optional

Steamed jasmine rice 3/4 cup cooked per person

Alternate Method
1. Wash hands, clean the surface and use a separate chopping board for raw chicken.
2. Mix chicken with ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, water, optional cornstarch, optional oil and the small
amount of reduced-sodium soy sauce. Do not add salt.
3. Place the chicken in a shallow heatproof dish and spread it into one layer. Add mushrooms on
top.
4. Boil over the water and simmer for about 15-18 minutes, stirring once if necessary, until all
pieces are 74°C.
5. Stir in the bok choy towards the end of cooking for 3-4 minutes until it is tender but still retains its
colour.
6. Ensure chicken is moist, cooked through and cut into pieces that are easy to chew. Serve with
rice and top with spring onion.

Why the alternate is still acceptable: Skinless chicken is a lean permitted food; the added fat is limited
by steaming. Mushrooms and bok choy are familiar Chinese foods, and their small size makes them
easy to chew. The recipe contains no beef, dairy, frying or added salt. Fish require less rigors
temperature checks, while chicken must be cooked to 74°C.

Explanation for timing of presentation: The rice and the pear are first because they will not spoil or, if
warm, make them too hot. Fish is steamed at the end to keep it moist. The vegetables are cooked as the
fish steams. The overlapping workflow finishes the meal in approximately 45 minutes, eliminates the
need for extra standing time and ensures that all parts are at the table warm simultaneously.

c. Briefly present your alternate recipe in discussion form: it is not necessary to actually
prepare this dish. A copy of this recipe should be included in the material you will
submit to your instructor.

Alternate Recipe Discussion

The alternate menu item is steamed ginger chicken, mushrooms and bok choy. Replaces the fish but
retains the rice, veggies, warm pear and beverage. We use skinless, boneless chicken which has all
fat trimmed away and add only a measured amount of reduced-sodium soy sauce. The chicken is
chopped into small pieces and steamed until the temperature reaches 74°C and served to Mr Chen's
dentures. This is one option that is still recognised and easily accessible, low in added fat and beef-
and dairy-free.”
