0:00:40 > 0:00:43I hope you're going to join in with the cooking too.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46- KNOCK AT DOOR - Ah-ha! Come in.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50- Hello, Katy.- Scott, hi!
0:00:50 > 0:00:54- Hi.- Hi, Amy. Hello, Zadan. Hello, Mia. Hello, Christian.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Come in, everyone.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Thank you so much for coming.
0:00:58 > 0:01:03Do you want to know what delicious recipe we're going to cook today?
0:01:03 > 0:01:07- Yes!- Today's recipe is...
0:01:08 > 0:01:11crispy fish fingers.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Mmmmmm-mmmm!
0:01:13 > 0:01:18But there's something we've got to do first.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Wash our hands!
0:01:20 > 0:01:25We've got to wash our hands. Off you go.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31# Roll up your sleeves Give your hands a wash
0:01:31 > 0:01:35# With slippy-dippy soap Splish splash splosh
0:01:35 > 0:01:38# Have you done your hands? Washed and dried?
0:01:38 > 0:01:41# Sleeves rolled up Apron tied
0:01:41 > 0:01:44# What can you do? I can cook. #
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Let's get started.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51The first thing we need to do is make some breadcrumbs.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53We are going to use bread.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58We tear it up into pieces, like when we feed the ducks.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- Quack, quack!- Quack, quack! - Quack, quack!- Quack, quack!
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Ooh! A loud one. Can you quack louder than me?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- QUACK!- Oooh!
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Can you quack? QUACK! Oooh! That was very loud!
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Let's rip up our bread into pieces.
0:02:14 > 0:02:20When you've done that, you can put it into your grater.
0:02:20 > 0:02:28The first person needs to put their bread in the top of the grater.
0:02:30 > 0:02:37Put the grey bit on top and one person push the grey bit down
0:02:37 > 0:02:42and the other person turns the handle.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Let's do it together. There we go.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51Don't put your fingers in, because it's sharp.
0:02:51 > 0:02:57If any breadcrumbs get caught in the middle, get them out with a fork.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03- Can you see the breadcrumbs coming out?- Yeah.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07You can pretend to grate at home.
0:03:07 > 0:03:13You get your grater and your handle and you turn, turn, turn. That's it!
0:03:13 > 0:03:18We've got our breadcrumbs. Give me a high five.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22We need to put the breadcrumbs into our bowls.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Half in your bowl and half in your partner's bowl.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Put your bowls aside for later.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- What ingredient do you think we will need next?- Eggs.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44The special ingredient is yellow and it's made from corn.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49It's polenta. We need polenta in our crispy fish fingers.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Let's find out more about polenta.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Come on.
0:04:00 > 0:04:06Polenta is made from maize, another name for corn on the cob.
0:04:06 > 0:04:13The pieces of corn, called the kernels, arrive in a lorry.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18The corn is mixed with water.
0:04:22 > 0:04:28A special machine removes the husk, the outside part of the kernel.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33then the kernels are sent to lots of machines
0:04:33 > 0:04:35which roll and crush them up.
0:04:35 > 0:04:41The crushed kernels go into a machine that jiggles about.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46It's called a sifter and it has lots of sieves inside it.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49The crushed kernel are passed through these sieves
0:04:49 > 0:04:52and separated into different sizes.
0:04:52 > 0:04:57The big bits are called maize grit and the fine powder is the polenta.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Wow! That was really interesting.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Come on, let's get back to the cooking.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09We're putting polenta in our crispy fish fingers.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14I think polenta looks a bit like pirate gold dust.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16A-harrr!
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Can you laugh like a pirate? Ha-harrr!
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Can you laugh like a pirate with us? Ha-harrr!
0:05:26 > 0:05:30We need two tablespoons of polenta.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31One...
0:05:33 > 0:05:37..two. That's it. Great job!
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Then we're going to get our pinchy fingers out.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Have you got your pinchy fingers ready?
0:05:43 > 0:05:44Pinch, pinch, pinch!
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Take a pinch of pepper
0:05:46 > 0:05:50and put it into your breadcrumb mixture.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54And then you can give it a big mix.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Mix with us at home. You can get your bowl and spoon
0:05:58 > 0:06:02and mix, mix, mix. That's it!
0:06:04 > 0:06:09We put our breadcrumb mixture onto this long, white plate,
0:06:09 > 0:06:11like this, watch.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Tip it on gently.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20and you can mix the other one round a bit.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23We've got some flour with some paprika on it.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Paprika is a red spice.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Can everyone say paprika?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Paprika!
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Paprika will add flavour to our fish fingers.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39We mix it with the flour with our finger.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Can you do that?
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Wipe your hands, because we've been using paprika.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Now we're ready for our fish.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Who can pretend to be a fish, like this?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Blblblblblbl!
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Can you be a fish?
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Blblblblblbl!
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Blblblblblbl! That's a good fish!
0:07:09 > 0:07:13We need to snip this fish up into four pieces.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Be safe with scissors.
0:07:16 > 0:07:21- Everyone knows you point them down towards your...- Toes.- Toes!
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Let's snip our fish into fish fingers.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29Snip the fish down the middle, like this.
0:07:30 > 0:07:36Then turn the plate around and snip the two long fingers
0:07:36 > 0:07:38into four pieces.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42You can do snippy fingers at home.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Snip, snip, snippety snip!
0:07:43 > 0:07:47It's important, when you're touching raw fish,
0:07:47 > 0:07:51to keep your hands nice and clean. Let's wipe our hands.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54What goes really well with fish is lemon.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59Let's squeeze some lemon over our fish.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Don't forget to squeeze with us at home.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- Sque-e-e-eze!- Sque-e-e-eze!
0:08:06 > 0:08:12Be careful to take out all the pips. We don't want to eat those.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Next, we dip our fish fingers in different things.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21This will make a crispy coating when they go in the oven.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24We've got different things here.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29First, we roll it in the flour and paprika.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Then we dip it in the egg. This bit's all slippery!
0:08:34 > 0:08:36I love it!
0:08:36 > 0:08:41And then we roll it in the breadcrumb mixture.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45And then put it onto your tray, which I've oiled for you.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Now it's your turn.
0:08:54 > 0:09:00You need to roll them round lots in the flour and the breadcrumbs.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Remember to put the fish fingers on the baking tray.
0:09:06 > 0:09:11- What does the egg do? - It sticks onto the breadcrumbs.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Yes, it's a bit like a glue.
0:09:14 > 0:09:19- The egg's a little bit gloopy. - It's all sloppy-woppy!
0:09:23 > 0:09:28I like doing this, it's like a fish finger train.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Choo-choo!
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Look at my fingers.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Amy, look at yours!
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- Look at mine!- Sticky hands!
0:09:40 > 0:09:46- Look at this.- That is exactly what we're looking for.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Hey, Scott, you're a great cook.
0:09:49 > 0:09:56The last thing we do is dribble some oil all over our fish fingers,
0:09:56 > 0:09:59using a brush. It's a bit like painting.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04- I like painting.- Pretend to brush with us at home, like this.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Brush, brush, brush. Ooh!
0:10:08 > 0:10:11And that's it. You've done it.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16You've put all the ingredients together for your fish fingers
0:10:16 > 0:10:19all by yourself.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Now we will put them in the oven.
0:10:22 > 0:10:28Ovens are hot, so don't go near. Ask a grown-up to help you here.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Let's put them in.
0:10:34 > 0:10:40While the fish fingers cook, there's one thing left for us to do.
0:10:40 > 0:10:45- What do you think it is?- Wash up! - We've got to wash everything up.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Off we go.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53# Now we've cooked, let's wash up
0:10:53 > 0:10:55# Stack the plates and the bowls on top
0:10:55 > 0:10:59# Dishes and spoons Splish splash splosh
0:10:59 > 0:11:02# Having fun while we tidy and wash
0:11:02 > 0:11:05# Dishes and spoons Splish splash splosh
0:11:05 > 0:11:08# Having fun while we tidy and wash. #
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Can you remember what we've done today?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- We've...- Grated.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- Brushed.- Squeezed.- And...?- Dipped.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22We've been really busy today!
0:11:23 > 0:11:28I've turned the oven off and I'm about to take out the fish fingers.
0:11:28 > 0:11:33While the food cools down, let's play a guessing game.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36What can you see? Keep on looking.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Say when you know what we used in our cooking.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44It's yellow, it's citrus fruit
0:11:44 > 0:11:48and its juice has a very sharp taste.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Do you know what it is? It's a lemon,
0:11:52 > 0:11:57which we squeezed over our fish.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Did you guess? Well done.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04And here they are, all ready to eat.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08You cooked your very own crispy fish fingers.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Are you ready, Scott? One, two, three...
0:12:15 > 0:12:20Hey, that looks great. One, two, three...
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Fantastic!
0:12:23 > 0:12:27We've done the cooking, now let's do some eating.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Oh, yum-yum!
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Three fish fingers are just enough to eat
0:12:32 > 0:12:35but you can save the rest for later.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- Who wants some peas and carrots? - Me!- Me!- Me!
0:12:38 > 0:12:43Give everyone some peas, Christian, I'll give everyone some carrots.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48I love carrots.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Christian's getting the peas everywhere!
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Amy, what gives the fish fingers the golden colour?
0:12:57 > 0:13:02- Polenta.- That's it. Do you remember polenta?- Polenta!
0:13:02 > 0:13:08- Mia, what do your fish fingers taste like?- Sour, cos I put lemon in it.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Do you like lemon?
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- What was the best part of the cooking?- Putting the fish in flour.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17It was really messy, wasn't it?
0:13:17 > 0:13:19So what can you do?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22I can cook!
0:13:22 > 0:13:25And remember that you can cook too.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30If you want to have a go at today's recipe, it's on our website:
0:13:36 > 0:13:40- What does the pepper do to the fish fingers?- It gives more flavour.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43That's it, it gives it loads of flavour.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50# I can cook! #
