Chinese Cooking Day at school!

Tuesday we had a Chinese Cooking Day as a project for school.

Part of the lesson (beyond cooking alone) was that we learned how to find recipes on the internet, consolidate all the ingredients to make a shopping list and shop for all the items needed.

Then, a friend of mine and her daughter (who also home school) came over to help cook.

We had fun...cooked from 9:30am thru to 2:30pm, stopping only for a lunch break.

In all, we cooked 7 Chinese dishes!  NOW, I want a WOK!!!

All of them (except for my tried and tested Wonton Soup) worked out better than great!

The dishes we prepared (and their links) are below:

Chinese Braised Spare Ribs
