kaiping My Taiwanese host school

Class participation:





This is what we start out with when we go to Chinese cooking class.
Most groups have three people, might has four, as I'm the extra. But look at this stuff! It's so cool.

I've learned to gut fish, shell shrimp, scale fish, and cook crab. It's really useful.

Nothing much to say.

Marielle (the french exchange student with me in Kaiping) cutting.

That is Tofu, by the way.

We cut everything.

Look at this egg.

We boiled it and cut it in half.







The recipes use way too much oil all the time. Marielle and I try to sneak some of it out all the time though. XD

Bad quality pictures, but our school is always really dark.

Cooking class is fun. But we need to change uniforms and since they have no changing rooms, students, boys and girls, all get changed in the classroom together. Yes. They strip in the classroom. Which, might not be a big deal if Marielle and I weren't foreign and if we weren't females. Everyone in the room watches us very intently and makes comments. It's very annoying.

I've really enjoy this time cooking with my classmates and eating the food afterwards all together. The chefs are all really kind to me as well.

Making Dumplings!

I just learned how to make dumplings at home! It was really cool. I hope we have all these skins at home. I think if you have the skin, then making them is not so hard.

Ground beef

Just use a little

Fold towards you, and wet the left corner

Fold towards you again

Pull the two corners up and make them cross.

Kind of mush them together.

We made a bunch


They made the dumplings in soup.

This I'm throwing in for my little brother. Mom, show him. I took this picture just for him.
