Did you enjoy this lab? Why or why not?

I didn’t enjoy or not enjoy doing this lab. I think the reason I am indifferent is because it was a lab, which we are told to do. I did it with the mentality that it is work and it is something that needs to get done.

What reasonable thing would you do to alter this recipe to keep it healthy or make it healthier? What would this add to the recipe (i.e. vitamins, minerals, fats)?

I think I would add ginger or lime/lemon, and maybe as an alternative for the sauce that we made use a sauce with a ginger base. The reason I would want to change the sauce is firstly it wasn’t the best in my opinion, it didn’t help out with the flavors or anything. I would change it to ginger cause for one I do like ginger, and two I think it would help give a different taste, especially when added with carrots. Ginger is a good source for thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, folate, vitamin c, vitamin e, calcium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorous, potassium, and zinc. It would add a lot of vitamins and minerals to the salad roll.

Often, rolls like these are served deep fried. Most people understand that deep frying food is not healthy for us. What exactly does deep frying do to our food? Why does it become unhealthy? What, if any, nutrients are added that are not great for us?

Fried food is usually prepared with unhealthy oils that are artificial and contain trans fats, this tends to lead the food to being high in fat and calories. It als can take some of the nutrients away from your food. Deep fried foods, as I mentioned, are high in trans fats, which of course are not healthy for you. The reason that’s so is because trans fats can raise your cholestrol levels, which increases your risk in having a stroke and developping type 2 diabetes.
