JULY 9, 2014: MAKING JAOZI WITH OUR CHINESE CLASSMATES

MAKING JAOZI WITH OUR CLASSMATES

JULY 9, 2014

One of the cultural activities was to make jaozi.  We learned some great tips for making good jaozi!  We also learned from our friend from Japan how to form them into beautiful "fans."  The jaozi were delicious!  We will be making them at home soon.  We can purchase the premade wraps for 

super cheap at the open wet market.

 These are Amy's teachers

We learned that you drop the jaozi into a pot of boiling water that you have stirred so that it is moving in a circle.  The jaozi go into the moving water and you give it a stir to every little bit to keep the water moving around in the pot.

 I learned that I really like dipping my jaozi into mature vinegar

 This is fun to see -- it is a "straw dispenser" but it is full of chopsticks!

 Here is Amy with her homework that she has written all in characters!  She is very good at writing beautiful characters!!!
