I had a great afternoon yesterday having Chinese cooking lessons. There were 4 of us. We went to the market to look around, saw live frogs, eels, chickens, rabbits being sold. We decided not to go to the dog section (phew) and snakes are not allowed to be sold at the market but are very popluar in Yangshuo.
The cooking classroom was good, a burner for everyone and your own set of ingredients laid out Delia style ready to prepare. We cooked 5 dishes, dumplings, fried pork, steamed chicken, fried aubergine and garlic water spinach. My favourite was the dumplings - a bit like stuffed omlettes. We then ate what we had made, and it was really tasty. They use garlic and chilli's in pretty much everything. I also got the recipes so I can try them at home - I can feel a few Chinese nights coming on, showing everyone the photos and telling the stories of my brilliant adventure with Chinese food Yangshuo style (not takeaway).
