Indian Menu Day 12

Apologies: 
It's 10:00 Pm and I think I'm finally able to post something, I've been having connection problems. If you see this, good. Please tell the others not to worry about it, it's not their fault that I couldn't post the information as promised.  I'll touch base with everyone as soon as we get in on Day 12 to answer questions.

Here's what you need to know for India:

Sous Chefs-

We made our own yogurt on Day 11 to use on Days 12,13 and 14. Have someone Drain 4 quarts of yogurt for Day 12 as soon as you come in, you'll need it for all days. If you don't understand the process, ask first and I'll help you.

All entrees will be served on a 12" round plate LINED WITH A BANANA LEAF CIRCLE. traditionally, Indian diners will not eat from plates, they use banana leaves to hold the food, these circles which fit into the 12" plates. Ask me early and I'll show you how.

Menu is divided into "North" and "South" - everything will be in 1/2 hotel pans on the steam table except for the accompaniments. Draw a detailed diagram of where everything will go on the steam table. There won't be enough space on the steam table for the rice - put rice in chaffing dish at end of steam table near plates. Show me the diagram right after the supplemental is placed and I can help you adjust it.

Soup for Days 12+ 13 will be Tomato Dal Rassam. Make 1/2 recipe on Day 12 and 1 full recipe on Day 13. We will make a decision on Day 13 about Day 14.

Salad - 1/4x recipe for Day 12 and 1/2 recipe for Days 13+14. This salad is served with the other accompaniments on a small, round "condiment" plate, you only need about 2 TBSP of salad per plate surrounded by the other condiments - chutni, raitha, pachadi. It will be similar in set-up to the street food plates - on service days, these can all be plated ahead.

Rice - Saffron rice Pilaf - make SURE you know everything there is to know about rice Pilaf METHOD -this is where people fall down, I will ask you about it so be prepared. Use 6 cups raw Basmati rice on Day 12 and 10 cups on Days 13+14. Use Basmati. Serve from a chaffing dish in shallow, full hotel pan.

Mango lhassi - the yogurt is being made overnight - should be ready in the morning. You will receive frozen Mango Puree from the store room. Don't plan to make mango lhassi both days - look for some other flavors or talk to me. Serve in 10 oz milk glasses - check that the glasses are in the kitchen early, if not - let me know.


Station 2:
Lamb Khorma - start early, braise in small rondo on top of stove - keep covered, stir often, don't scorch. You will receive 2# lamb cubes for this on Day 12 and 4# for Day 13 + 14. Cashew paste is made by soaking cashews in hot water and then pureeing in food processor. Serve from steam table in 1/2 hotel pan. Ask Sous Chefs where to put everything. DON'T forget the garnishes for this dish - have them in place before service starts.

Samoosas- Make 1/2 recipe for Day 12 and 1x Days 13+14. The Dough needs to be made early on Day 12 and extra can be made to be ahead for Day 13 , filling should be prepped, then they need to be assembled and finished. Let me help you toast the spices, they burn easily.Hold formed samoosas on parchment paper - they stick to paper towels! The samoosas should be fried in small batches as needed for service and served from steam table in 1/2 hotel pan. Sous chefs should have a detailed diagram of where everything goes, follow their instructions.

Dal Tadka make 1/2 recipe Day 12 and 1 full recipe each other day. It's easy to make, but consider starting very early. Toasting the spices for this can be tricky - get chef to help you start so you don't burn them.The lentils should be mushy - falling apart -and the "tadka" added at the end. Bring to the steam table in a 1/2 hotel pan and place it according to the sous chef's diagrams.

Chili Chutni - we should have enough for the rest of the block - it should be made already from Day 11, check tracking schedule to see who made it and ask them where it is.

Station #3:

Fish curry - Talk to Chef about how many portions to make for each day - it depends on the type of fish we receive. Read recipe, know all ingredients, watch video and ask chef to help get started, This is an unusual and unique dish and requires the assistance of the chef the first time you make it.. Make sauce ahead, hold hot, poach fish in sauce a few orders at a time, just before serving. Serve from steam table in 1/2 hotel pan. You will receive enough fish on Day 12 for the rest of the block, so ask how much to use for day 12 and ice the rest for the next day.

Pooris(puris) bread 1x dough for each day- Make dough early - before anything else. Check with chef for proper consistency, let it rest, ask chef for advice on rolling and cutting. Watch demo on frying and pre-heat cast iron pans about 20 minutes before you plan to fry. These should be fried before service and held warm on paper towels to absorb extra fat. Serve from steam table in 1/2 hotel pan lined with paper towels, sous chefs will have a diagram telling you where to put them.

Station #4;

Pork Vindaloo  is already marinating for all days. Use 1/4 of the pork for Day 12 and divide the remainder for Day 13 + 14.You can make it in a large wok, but you have to be very careful about heat control and evaporation - keep the flame low and keep the wok covered. Serve from steam table in 1/2 hotel pan - see sous chef's diagram for where to place it.

Dal Sambar - make 1/2 recipe Day 12 and 1 full recipe for Service, also start very early. Toasting the spices for this can be tricky - ask chef to help you start so you don't burn them. Lentils should cook until mushy. Keep heat low, stir often, keep pot covered. If lentils start to stick, change pots and add a bit more water. Serve from steam table in 1/2 hotel pan according to sous chef's diagram.

Bondas - 1/2 recipe for Day 12 and 1x recipe for Days 13/14. Filling for this can be made a day ahead - so you may make extra on Day 12 for Day 13. Cook potatoes early, let chef help with spices toasting; combine potatoes and spices and let chef demo how to size and shape. Dip in batter and fry only as needed for service. Serve from steam table in 1/2 hotel pan according to sous chef's diagram.

Pachadi - Make 1/4 recipe for Day 12 and 1/2 for Days 13/14. Crack open fresh coconut and remove flesh - chef can help. Toast in oven, stir occasionally to keep coconut from scorching. Toasting chick peas - they must be toasted until they are cooked through and REALLY crunchy - if they're soft in the center, they're not done. Check with chef for help on this technique, it's very different from western cooking.

Station #5:
Make 1 full recipe of dough for naan first thing; make 1 recipe for each day- it needs to rise, be divided, and rise again. Naan should go into the tandoori oven between 10:15-10:45. Watch the video so that you are familiar with the set up and make sure you know which tools to use - have them on your station for a demo by 10:15.

Tandoori chicken - Make 15 pieces on Day 12 and 45 pieces on Day 13/14. The Chicken should already be marinating on Day 12 but needs to be prepared on Day 12 for 13 and Day 13 for 14. Remove from marinade and put on skewers early in the day. The meat will cook more easily if it's not cold right out of the cooler. Skewered meat can be held on plastic lined sheet trays at room temp. Be ready to put skewered chicken in oven by 10:00 AM. Serve from steam table in 1/2 hotel pan according to the sous chef's diagram.

Raitha is made with drained yogurt - if the yogurt did not get drained the night before, drain it in a chinoise lined with cheese cloth for a couple of hours before making, put in small container for sous chefs to arrange on the accompaniment table.

Station #6:

Paneer Saag - 1/2 recipe for each day. Make cheese as early as possible, it can be made a day ahead, but if it's not- 7:15 or so on Day 12. Let drain and firm until cool, then cut into small dice. Spinach is braised - meaning a longer, slower, moist heat method. Have all MEP near a wok and be ready to start cooking slowly by 9:45. Let simmer on low heat, covered, until spinach is very soft. Then finish with cheese and yogurt. The paneer saag is a braised veg dish, it needs to be started in a large wok no later than 9:45 in order to cook slowly and gently and should be finished no later than 10:45

Vegetable Curry - Also a braised veg dish. Long, slow, moist heat, covered. All MEP ready by 9:45, cook slowly until cauliflower is very tender.

Both dishes served from steam table in 1/2 hotel pans.

Thai Menu, June 10+11


Sous Chefs-

Plating: Street food similar to VN menu, sauce in the center is mentioned below.
Curries are served as a "sampler plate", meaning that a small amount of all 5 curries are served on each plate. Use a 12" rim 12" rimmed "soup plate" (the shallow bowls) with Jasmine Rice, with rice in the center.
Pad Thai is stir fried in batches, as needed, and served from the steam table in a deep bowl, garnishes are roasted peanuts and a lime wedge.

Chicken Rice is served from the station producing it. They will have a chaffing dish for their own rice and will plate and pick up without needing assistance from other stations.

Stir Fried Squid will be cooked in batches for Day 11 service and be served from the steam table.

Hot and sour soup for Day 10- watch demo on how to cook shrimp in broth, make soup in a wok, hot hold. Scale to 1 gallon on Day 10.

Day 11 is Coconut Chicken soup, make 1 full recipe , just follow the recipe and taste for fish sauce and lime with me when it's done.

Salad - Green papaya, watch demo on papaya fabrication - 1/2 recipe on Day 10 and 1 full recipe on Day 11

Jasmine rice - 8 cups Day 10, 16 cups Day 11 - Talk to me about using the Western Steamer or a Rice cooker, or both. 16 US cups is too much for he rice cooker at one time.

Set up Street food station - similar to Vietnamese set-up, chaffing dish on Station 5 with 1/3 pans for hot food, cool food, plates, sweet chili sauce, etc. should all be set up near the chaffing dish. Draw a complete diagram of how the station will be set up with all components and items labeled in diagram. Sweet Thai Chili sauce comes from store room - bottles labeled "Mai Ploy". This goes in ramekins in center of plate. Peanut sauce for Satay DOES NOT go in a ramekin - hold it in a small plastic cup on the side and put a dab on top of each satay as it goes out. On Day 10 we only need enough sauce for 15 people. Day 11 - enough to serve about 65.

IF someone has time and wants to play, I have a good recipe for fresh House Made Siriacha. It's very good and we could serve it if we make enough. Order the sweet Chili Sauce to back us up just in case.

The Steam table will need to be used to hold the curries, the pad thai, stir fried squid and the jasmine rice. Put each curry in separate, deep 1/3 pans, same with the squid.  Pad Thai should be in a deep 1/2 hotel pan, and the Jasmine rice in a full hotel pan. Draw a diagram of the line set up and make it complete. Plates: Currys in a 12" shallow bowl with Jasmine rice, Pad Thai in a deep noodle bowl with roasted peanuts and a lime wedge on top of each. Stir fried Squid in deep 1/2 pan, the squid itself is served in a round casserole dish sitting on an ovel platter with jasmine rice sitting on the side - similar to presentation of steamed fish from Japanese menu.

Station #2 -

Chicken Rice - Scale recipe to use 2 whole chickens on Day 10 and 4 whole Chickens on Day 11. This dish is served room temp in summer, or prepared and then reheated in a wok steamer across from Table #2 in the cooler months, most westerners don't "get it" when it's served t rom temp, so set up the wok steamer. Entire plate is picked up from your station. You need to make your own rice, make it pilaf style and use rendered duck fat to parch the rice. Pandan leaf is usually available - order it on supplemental if you don't see it on the invoice in the morning. For Service you will need:
- Chaffing dish to hold rice
- Shallow "gratin" dishes to hold chicken and sauce, gratin dish sits on large oval plate with rice and cucumber/tomato/cilantro garnish (this is like and undressed salad tossed together).
- Service utensils to plate. Draw a complete diagram of how the station will be set up with all components and items labeled in diagram.

Yellow Shrimp Curry - 1/2 Recipe on Day 10 and 1.5x recipe on Day 11 -  Use the curry paste to make the yellow curry sauce. Make the sauce completely, except for the shrimp, and cool it. Just prior to service, heat the sauce and gently poach the shrimp in 1/3 batches in 1/3 of the sauce as needed to stay just ahead of service without over cooking the shrimp- this keeps them from over-cooking on the steam table.

Station 3-
Make sure you find both of the satay grills (We have two) and charcoal before the supplemental goes in. I'll show you how to set it up, but it must be done early, you'll need to fire up both grills with charcoal for service on Day 11 and keep feeding the grill with more charcoal as it burns down.

The Beef Satay - 1/2 recipe for Day 10 and 1.5x recipe for Day 11. Trim off external fat and collagen from Flank steak and let me show you how to cut it for satay. You will trim and cut the meat, then put it on skewers, THEN marinate it. Talk to me or one of the people from Station 5 Day 8+9 about how to set up the Satay grills,the Satay grills need charcoal and it needs to be lit far enough ahead to be hot when needed but not so far ahead that it's run out of heat by the time you're ready to cook. Speak to chef about how to light coals, Be sure to feed fresh coals to the grill before you leave for family meal so you'll have a hot fire when you return for service on Day 11. Also be sure to check that we have some charcoal when you place your supplemental order in the morning When service is over, place hot charcoal in a hotel pan to cool, then add water before putting in the compost.

Peanut Sauce - Should have been made on Day 9 - but if it was not, it will need to be made on Day 10, and used for both days. When cooled to use the following day, it needs to be reheated gently, and it may break - it's an emulsion. If it DOES break, fix it the same way you would fix a hollandaise or mayonnaise (and if you think I mean "use an egg", you need to do more research)

Station #4 -
Scale the meats to make 2# of the Massaman and Jungle curry and  6# of the Green Pork Curry recipe for Day 10 - please talk to me about the Green Pork Curry, I want to keep 1/2 to freeze before adding the "finishing paste". On Day 11 scale to make 4#  for service. It's important to start them early, so hustle. Use a small rondo or large sauce pot with a cover, remember to keep covered until the meat is tender to avoid drying out and burning by evaporation. Also remember that you can braise in the oven if the range gets crowded later in the morning, if you don't have room on top of the stove, you can finish in the oven. The braises should go to the steam table in deep 1/2 hotel pans - -covered.


Station #5-

Duck Curry, the duck should have been marinated on Day 9, we'll use 1/4 of the marinated duck on Day 10 and the rest on Day 11 - recipe is pretty self explanatory. Pan Roast Duck, while duck is roasting, prepare sauce. When both duck and sauce are finished, hold both separately. Near service, gently heat sauce, add duck and gently heat duck in sauce. Ask for clarification on the blog if you need it. Served from a deep 1/2 hotel pan on the steam table.


Fish cakes - We need to make 1# of fish on Day 10 (1/2 recipe) and double on Day 11 - we can shape and size the cakes to meet the required number of portions for each day. It's important that you have a VERY sharp knife to hand mince the fish. Also very important that the long beans are sliced into PAPER thin rounds, if you slice them thicker, the cakes fall apart. Please ask for a demo on slicing the beans before you start. Cakes should be fired in a 325F fryer in small batches as needed for service and put on the street food station in 1/3 pans. I will show you how to form them. They will be served on the street food plate - talk to the sous chefs ahead of service so they can direct you on where to put them when they are cooked, fry them as close to service as possible.


Station #6
Pad Thai- 1x recipe on Day 10 and 3x recipe on Day 11. This is a  Stir fried dish and will be cooked "ala minute" in batches for Day 11 service, divide MEP into 4 batches, it's ok to combine ingredients for sauce ahead. Make sure to have lime and peanuts for garnish. Served from 1/2 hotel pan in steam table into deep noodle bowls. Be sure NOT TO OVER SOAK THE NOODLES - about 5 minutes in very hot tap water(NOT BOILING WATER). The idea is for them to be pliable, not ready to eat. In the wok you will add more liquid and heat and they will become done at that point. I believe that the embedded video may not be exactly the same recipe as the one you have, if it looks different, the technique is the same. Remind me if it's different and we can shoot a new video.
Seafood "yam" is the seafood salad. Make 1x recipe for Day 10 and 1.5x for Day 11. It's easy to make, hold at room temp in a 1/3 or 1/6 pan for use on the street food station.

Pork Vindaloo - Please double the recipes for the Marinade and the Spice paste and talk to me about dividing them. Follow recipe for 1st stage of the paste - this is important to do on Day 10 and follow through on Day 11, DON'T forget to do it.

Vietnamese Menu Days 8+9, June 6+7



PLEASE READ Before Class on Day 7:

I have a lot of preliminary notes for today, please read everything to be informed of your requirements and also to see if you're interested in taking on any extra projects.

For Day 7 - it's IMPORTANT that we start a broth of Pigs Feet and Chicken feet, I will be delegating this to the Sous Chefs unless someone else asks to do it first.I have a recipe, so ask for it as soon as you enter the kitchen.

Also - day 7 or 8 - We have extra pork belly, butt, and feet - opportunity to play with Pork Products for those with extra time.

But wait...there's MORE - also an opportunity to make a Cambodian Style sour Duck Stew....prep Day 7 for Day 8.

Remember - Sit-down quiz on Japan and Korea with ingredient ID component after clean-up is scheduled for Day 8


Each Station  is responsible for making and properly holding Table Salads on their station. Station 4 will set up the MEP for making these but construction will be done by each station according to their service needs. Table Salads will accompany every entree served. You must watch the video on Handling Fresh Herbs in the Vietnamese section of the Website. PLEASE DO NOT start grabbing herbs for other uses until Station 4 has set up for Table Salad MEP.

EVERYONE! We will not be using the steam table for any items served on this menu.  Since we're not using the steam table, you are required to design your station layout  in  a diagram. This is mandatory for each person - draw up your plan, bring yours - along with your team mate's - for review and present it to the Chef at the beginning of the day for final adjustment. First draft diagram is due for review at the beginning of class on Day 8. 

If you need to use Tamarind Paste you should watch the video on how to prepare it by clicking here:
 Preparing Tamarind Paste


Sous Chefs:

The good news is you don't have to set up the steam table today, everything comes off of it's own station.

Fisherman's soup - recipe is easy, watch demo of how to cook shrimp in the soup. You can make soup early and hot hold - keep cooked shrimp on the side until service, put them in cups and ladle soup over them. We will make the same soup on both days. Prepare 1 gallon for Day 8 and 2 gallons for Day 9.

Salads - make both each day. 1/3 recipe of each on Day 8 + 1 full recipe on Day 9.
 Green mango salad - mangoes should be green and firm, if not - talk to me. The salads goes on the street food plate, so you don't need a lot per portion - about 1 TBSP.  The Lotus Rootlets come in glass jars, rinsed and cleaned before cutting Check with chef if the instructions aren't clear.

Long Grained Sticky Rice (Sweet Rice) - should be soaking over night - if you're readin ghtis before Day 7, check that it gets done and you know where to find it in the morning. . You need to drain it, put it into a perforated hotel pan lined with moist cheese cloth and steam it for 15 minutes. Do this early, it's usually served at room temperature, so it doesn't matter if it's not hot at service. Keep it for the street food station in a 1/3 hotel pan, covered with a moist towel.

Your primary responsibility besides soup/salad/sticky rice will be to set up the Street Food Station. This should be done on Station 5 using one chaffing dish with three 1/3 hotel pans in it to hold the hot food - like the dim sum set up. The street food plate will go to every customer with an entree, so we need to be prepared for 50-60 on Day 9. Each small (6") plate will contain a 1oz. ramekin of nuoc cham (made by station 2), a small portion of each salad, about a tablespoon. of sticky rice, one rib, one Beef in La-Lot portion, one salad Roll, one shrimp on sugar cane. It should look something like one of these, depending whether we have time to make any extra items :



Include a small lump of sticky rice next to the mango salad:
From K1 Menu Photos


Draw a great diagram of how the Street Food Station will look on Station 5. Where will everything be? Plates? Ramekins of sauce? Chaffing dish with each compartment labeled, Where's the rice? The salad rolls, and mango salad and the lotus rootlet salad? Don't use utensils to plate- use gloved hands - faster that way.

BTW - All of the nouc cham for the class will be made by Station 6 and distributed or portioned as needed. Station 6 should portion 60 small ramekins of the nouc cham for the street food plates on day 9- about 1/2 full each ramekin. The rest will be used by Team 4 to dress their noodles for the fish.

Station 2:
Salad Roll set up is deceptive. It looks and sounds simple, but until you've made a few, it's awkward. For that reason, have all your MEP set up to start rolling by 9:00 AM - we'll get everyone to practice rolling a few, I'll help, and it will be easy. Watch the video - ask me for the towels as soon as we walk in. These go on the street food plate. Each person should make two rolls apiece on Day 8 and 4 rolls apiece on Day 9 - that should give us enough for service each day.

Pho - You will have 2 types of beef to add to this - boiled beef (already done) and thin slices of raw sirloin. On Day 8 plan to go to the meat room for about 30 minutes and slice the semi frozen meat down there at about 7:30, be sure to talk to me before you go. Plan to set up Station 2 table and a tray stand with sheet tray for Pho pick -up during service - you'll only need to do this on Day 8, once sliced we save the bulk of it for service on Day 9.. The broth has been made for 2 days, so only heat 1/4 on Day 8 and the rest will be saved for Day 9. Heat it in a stainless pot on the range ,use one of the Station 2 woks, filled with simmering water, as a hot water bath to hold the stainless pot of broth. The wok next to the broth should have simmering water and a china cap - this is to heat and refresh the noodles in.Draw a diagram of how you are going to set everything up. Noodles should be portioned ahead and held in cups - where will they be on the station? The Herbs? The raw beef?Where are your hot bowls for service kept? Under liner plates for Table Salad, Sambal, and Lime? All of this should be mapped out before you get to class. Check with chef before service if you have any doubts about the efficiency of your plan. You will pick up ala minute from Station 2.

It's a good idea to look ahead to the sous chef's duties for Days 10 + 11 and ask questions before you get there. 

Station 3
Shrimp on Sugar cane - the shrimp "mousse" for this should have been made on Day 7 and should be enough for both Day 8 + 9, Talk to the sous chefs about who will do the finishing grill work on these - probably we only have one person to grill both your shrimp and team 5's Beef in La Lot skewers. Watch the video on how to shape and form and also on how to work with sugar cane. Chef can help. You need to fabricate the sugar cane as well, make sure to get chef's assistance with this before you begin.

Fried Fish - catfish fillets should be coming in, cut them into large bite-sized pieces and divide into 5 oz portions. You will set up most of your mise en place on your station, the fish portions and seasoned flour mix on a tray stand next to the wok, and one of the large woks directly across from your station will be filled with 6" deep of fry oil and act as your deep fryer. Let chef turn on and adjust the temp on the oil - if you get it wrong, it's a BIG fire - very scary. Draw a diagram of where everything will be and label everything, you can set up a tray stand with fish and flour mix next to the wok and keep your noodles, nouc cham, herbs and table salad on the table behind you - it will make your life soooo much easier. You will be frying ala minute - order-fire-pickup as the orders are called. Served in the wide, shallow bowls with rice noodles and table salad. See recipe for details.

Station 4- Making the table salad is labor intensive and time consuming, you're setting up a station for each team to construct their own, start early so no one is waiting for you. Watch the video on handling herbs and table salad and then set up a production assembly line so they can be assembled  efficiently. We really only need enough of each ingredient to construct about 15 table salads on Day 8, but on Day 9 we'll need enough to produce 65. Keep completely covered with moist towels at all times so they don't wilt.

The Chicken salad is very straight forward - follow the recipe and serve at room temp, be prepared to adjust seasoning with chef as needed. You are responsible for your own Jasmine rice and making enough to share with Station 5. Hold it hot in a chaffing dish on your station. Chicken Salad is served with Jasmine rice and a table salad.Jasmine rice is a long grain rice, prepare as we have been for Chinese Long grained Rice.

Butchering and marinating the duck for Days 10 + 11 must be done on Day 9. Be sure to watch the video on duck fabrication and work t=with the chef to start the process. Separate the breast from the legs and thighs and Reeves all for use. 


Station 5
 Beef in la lot leaves is time consuming, set it up "production style", meaning don't make one at a time, lay out all of the leaves, fill them all , roll, them, then put them on skewers. Remember that the amount of beef prepared is supposed to be enough to last for both days - we will make about 20 skewers on Day 8 and save the remainder of the filling for Day 9, these will be cooked  on an Asian Satay Grill.


 Satay Grill Set Up - under hood

 The Satay grill needs charcoal and it needs to be lit far enough ahead to be hot when needed but not so far ahead that it's run out of heat by the time you're ready to cook. Speak to chef about how to light coals, also be sure to check that we have some charcoal when you place your supplemental order in the morning. Have a conversation with Station 3 and the Sous Chefs about who will work the grill for both your product and the shrimp on sugar cane during service. They will both be cooked in batches and brought to the street food station in 1/3 hotel pans. On day 9 make sure to add more charcoal to the grill before going to family meal so it's hot when you need to fire orders for service.



Crepes- On Day 8, make 1/2 times the recipe for the batter and then consult with Chef on weather we should increase quantity on Day 9.  Make batter early and consult chef  when you are straining the batter - these are common places to make mistakes, so get my input before you do. Make and fill crepes ahead, hold at room temp and reheat in a non stick pan ala minute.Draw a diagram of your service station for the crepes


Station 6 - If you're reading this before Day 7, it's possible to get ahead on the dough - but speak to Chef first, it take some adjusting if ti's made a day ahead. Weigh out ingredients for Bahn Mi dough and get started on it as soon as you come in. While dough rises, prep and set out all other sandwich ingredients and make chips. The pate and roasted pork was made on Day 7, so slice for sandwiches early, we'll have plenty of both,  let's ask the class how many sandwiches we should makes on Day 8. For day 9. plan to prep for 20 rolls. The rolls should be ready to bake by 10:00, so that they have time to cool before cutting for service. Chips can be made as far ahead as you want - just not a day before, the recipe for chips can be found in the "Sub Page" section at the bottom of the Vietnamese Menu Page on the website. You are also making all of the nouc cham for the rest of the class, we need about 16 oz on Day 8 and 2 quarts on day 9. Most will go into ramekins for street food - you are responsible for that, and on day 9 we need 2 cups to go to station 3 for their noodles. Remember -  ingredient ID component after clean-up will be scheduled for Day 9 - Friday!
