NAIDOC Cooking Class

At Dragonfly's Early Learning at Coolum Beach, part of the children's research during

NAIDOC week was to learn about the regions that were included in NAIDOC and to research recipes from these areas

One of the regions that the children enjoyed was finding out more about the South Sea Islands and South Sea Islander cooking

Sabee Sabee refers to coconut milk in theTorres Strait Islands

Sabee Sabee Domboy is similar to dumplings cooked in coconut milk

This version has pumpkin added to the coconut milk mixture

The children then cooked the Sabee Sabee Domboy and ate it
