That’s Chinese all over！Dumplings become round thin sheets of dough so
quickly.（Ms. Shi’s group）
Cute cookers are making thin sheets of dough by cutting out of a big
and thin dough
|
The participants enjoyed cooking together and eating together. This is
the third event of "Interchange through Exchanging Food Culture”
which is likely to become a regular event.
Ms. Prani Funaoka is showing how to make tomyumkhun. |
This time they made Liaoning Province’s, Shanxi City’s, and Japanese
jiao-zi. They began with kneading flour. There were some ways to make round
thin sheets of dough to wrap the ingredients of jiao-zi. Chinese people
flattened dumplings and made thin sheets of dough, and the other people
learned to cut out of the big thin dough, using a cup. Some Shanxi’s jiao-zi
contained lotus roots and celery, which was delicious. The both types of
Chinese jiao-zi were boiled ones, and though the tastes of the sauce were
different from each other, both were delicious respectively. While, Japanese
jiao-zi was fried, but Chinese people seemed to eat pleasantly.
Ms. Prani Funaoka taught how to make a Thai food. There were many people
who seemed to eat a representative Thai food, tomyangkun, for the first
time, and they said in chorus, “This is delicious!” The two big pans
of tomyungkhun became completely empty. Ingredients for tomyangkn are available
these days and it seems to make it easily. Pavonsen used bean-starch was
also favourable. Fish sauce called nampar and quite a lot of cloves of
garlic were used, but not so strong: it was delicious.
Despite the
event was to make Chinese, Thai, and Japanese food, Brazilians and Peruvians
came all the way from Moriyama City, Kusatsu City and Otsu City, inquiring RIFA
until the last moment before the day, and they enjoyed cooking.
The participants were attracted by the Peruvian dance. |
After having the food, some participants unexpectedly performed one
after another and made the event colorful one: Peru nationals the Kiyoda
brothers played the piano and did Peruvian folk dance; a Peruvian female
national Mabel began to join in the dance that Shinjiro Kiyoda was dancing
alone, which pleased the audience; A magic was showed; Mr. Niu who offered
Shanxi’s jiao-zi tried to perform the magic. What will be the next cuisine? Look forward to it. |
