Our first Chinese cooking lesson

At lunch time the Chinese teachers bring food they've cooked, or more likely their mom's have cooked for them.  They let us / make us taste it and it's always really good.  Teach us how to make it please!  My roommate organized a cooking lesson with Candy from our school. She came to our apartment and taught us how to make three dishes. 

This is a cold cucumber dish that we order very often in restaurants.  It was pretty simple to make.  She surprised us when she was cooking oil and garlic in the pot and all of a sudden threw it on the cucumbers.

Here she's making one of my favorite dishes - tomatoes and eggs.  Simple and so good!

We also had a potato and pork dish and of course rice!

It was fun watching her prepare the dishes and sort of giving us instructions on how to do it -if we asked. 

For dessert we had strawberries and cherries.  These are the smallest cherries I have ever seen.
