Chinese Cooking Class

Chinese Cooking Class

Hey everyone, this weekend we had a real Chinese cooking class in Qingdao. With 12 interns went to a cooking school, where the chef greeted us in big kitchen with our working places already prepared so we could start right away. We had to cook two dishes, which were both typically Chinese. The first one was scrambled eggs with tomato, which was quite easy for us since nearly everybody has made scrambled eggs before. Still it was really good and fun especially with the fire places which where a little scary on first sight. They were really big gas places with a huge flame when the cook lighted them. The second dish was chicken with some vegetables, peanuts and chili (which everyone tried to hide from the cook so it wouldn’t be too spicy). Cooking this dish was a little more challenging than the scrambled egg. We had to fry everything in the wok and constantly add soy sauce, some alcoholic liquid and of course- chili. After eating two dishes, everybody was so full (unfortunately too full for dumpling dinner in the evening). Even Rita, who just watched us cooking and then tried everything from everyone was full in the end 🙂
