Naju-si to Conduct 'Group Meal Education Using Rice' Until the 23rd

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Naju City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Kang In-gyu) announced on the 16th that it will promote the 'Rice Utilization Group Meal Education' to cultivate professional personnel leading rice consumption promotion until the 23rd.

This education program targets 25 group meal managers such as nutritionists and cooks, operating a total of four sessions of theoretical and practical courses on group meal recipes using rice.

In particular, it focuses on providing accurate information about the nutritional value and functionality of rice, as well as creating an opportunity to promote rice consumption through practical cooking of various rice dishes.

The city originally planned to conduct face-to-face practical training at the Agricultural Education Center, but due to the recent spread of COVID-19 in the Gwangju and Jeonnam areas, all sessions except the first will be conducted via non-face-to-face video education for the safety of the participants.

During the first face-to-face session, cooking and practice of group meal menus using rice ingredients such as 'Sesame Sauce Bibim Noodles' and 'Perilla Juice King Oyster Mushroom Stir-fried Rice Cake' were conducted.

Subsequent video education sessions will demonstrate various rice dish development menus such as 'Brown Rice Ball Fritters,' 'Jeolpyeon Beef Salad,' and 'Gijeong Rice Cake Sandwich.'

Na Sujin, Director of the Rural Development Division, said, "This education will be a good opportunity to improve awareness of rice, which has both taste and nutrition, and to promote consumption amid the situation where the status of rice is not as it used to be due to westernized dietary patterns."
