フィリピンのSan Roque National High Schoolの生徒対象に、本校高等学校1年生男子生徒が、日本料理教室を実施しました。今回は、日本からみたらし団子作りを実演し、フィリピンでは生徒がそれぞれの家庭で同じ手順でお団子を作りました。
フィリピンで手軽に手に入る食材と家庭にある調理器具を用いて、短時間で作ることのできる料理として、みたらし団子を選びました。水の量、ゆでる時間などは、粉質、水の量や火加減で変わってくるため、浮いてくるまで、などの出来るだけわかりやすい表現に努めました。
フィリピンの生徒たちは素敵なお団子を作りました。
次の料理交流は、本校生徒がフィリピンの料理を作ります。オンライン会議システムのおかげで、世界が広がりました。次の交流が楽しみです。
以下、本校からのレポートです。
Food is always a big aspect of culture. If you go to any place in the world, people will always have a food that can represent their nation. A way of understanding the culture of a nation is knowing and tasting their food. This was the idea we had in mind when we organized the event “Let’s Dango!”. This event was held June 25th, in partnership with San Roque National High School. Students from Kogakuin SHS 1-8 class taught grade 11 students from the Philippines on how to cook the Japanese snack dango through zoom.
There were challenges along the way such as finding the counterpart of mirin in the Philippines and what type of flour is to be used. These challenges enabled the students to compare what ingredients are commonly used for both countries. Students were also able to see that even though Philippines and Japan both share the love for rice, dishes can still be very different.
Everything went well and everyone was able to make their own version of the Japanese dango! The only regret we have is that we can’t taste each other’s dango. Maybe someday!
