Been skipping my classes close to a month due my cough, this absence became contagiousness and I intended to skip again.... However my classmate told me there's a cooking class instead and my chinese classmate told me they are making dumpling so I have to come. Unable to resist their invitation, I went.
When I reached early, they were already in the kitchen preparing the ingredients, chopping the vegetables and meat. I was busy taking their pictures. I started to help when they need more hands washing the dirty dishes and making the dumplings. Never seen the dumplings made from scratch in live and they were shaking their heads when I folded and sealed the dumplings. Heard in China, its very common for family to make dumplings at home.
Frankly speaking, the process of making the dumplings really need effort, the more people to help the better. 1 was kneading the dough, 2 were flattening the dough to make the skin, 3 were putting the meat into the skin and sealing it. We (the main chef actually) also made other 2 dishes. All the cooking took close to 1 1/2 hours.
Their food was quite spicy but not unbearable, our Japanese teachers thought its was too spicy especially the spinach and tofu. I love all of it and was eating non-stop until my voice changed. Even took the dumplings home for next day breakfast!
