Fried Silk Worm Cocoons and Chinese Cooking

HI ALL!

So this week there is a typhoon coming into Shanghai but I decide that some rain won't get in the way of fun things like eating eating FRIED SILK WORM COCOONS and becoming a Chinese CHEIF!

I have got to say Chinese people are CRAZY eaters.

It's said they will 

"eat anything that has legs except a table and anything that flies except a plane"

But WHEN IN ROME...you have to try things at least once is my motto

FRIED SILK WORM COCOONS

If you can't imagine what this tastes like, let me help you....CRUNCHY outside shell with a GOOEY nutty flavored inside...
                     ...........basically DISGUSTING :)

Believe me that smile only lasted until that lil BUGGER got in my mouth

While we are about appetizing food, we cant forget Chinese Chicken feet!

This little guy wasn't so lucky.......haha

Enough talk about eating Worms and Feet, lets talk about something a little closer to our American taste buds....

In Chinese cooking class I learned how to make JIAOZI....or what we Americans like to call POT STICKERS :)

So fun!!! All my friends and family can be guarantee that we will have a JIAOZI making party when I come home! You can make any shape/size/design...

                                I had to.... :D

                           YUMMMMM!!!

And don't worry there is no crazy ingredients in these guys...just the typical...

PORK, BEEF, SEAFOOD, CILANTRO, GARLIC, GREEN ONION

then topped with VINEGAR!

Thats all for today! Talk to you soon!
