Tonight's Dinner


My homestay mother, Barbara has to work until late tonight and my homestay father needs extra sleep Befor his night work. It is my turn to cook an evening meal for them. My coworker wants to eat fried rice, but the rice that they cooked this morning was very little, so I decided to cook an extra noodles, wanton soup, miso soup and fried wanton.

My coworker , Vicky cut all the vegetables and she started to put all the vegetable that I need in different plates. Vicky is vegetarian, so I decided to cook the meat separate. I started to cook all the vegetables first like jam, potatoes, carrots and after that I add a little bit of water and I put other vegetables like celery, green and white cabbage. Here, I also add a little bit of water for them to be cooked. Finally I added mushrooms and noodles of course soy sauce and salt.

With the same ingredients, I made fried rice. I thought the rice was for two people, but I cooked and it turned out more than I thought. Well, we will have extra meal for our lunch tomorrow.

Lastly, I made wanton soup and miso soup. I had my wanton soup and Vicky had her miso soup. Both soups turned out really good. I like the way I cook and I hope that the homestay family came back will like my meals.

After cooking, Vicky and I had a meal. Both of us are very happy to have a Chinese meal after many days here in Brisbane.
