My Other Passions

Cooking I love to cook, especially during Chinese New Year. Try out my Grandmother's recipe below!

~My grandmother's 80 Dumpling Recipe~

Ingredients:

80 dumpling wrappers (I like to make my own, but getting store bought dumpling wrappers works well, too. )
450 grams ground pork
300 grams Napa cabbage
250 grams of Chinese garlic chives
20 ml fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves
20 ml Shaoxing rice wine
50 ml soy sauce
30 ml toasted sesame oil
3 grams white pepper
50 grams scallions

I like to make my own wrappers from scratch, but getting store bought dumpling wrappers works just as well and is sometimes easier!

1.) Wash your vegetables, rinse thoroughly. squeeze out any extra water.

2.) Chop into very small pieces and put into a mixing bowl. Next, add sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, and chives. In a pan, cook the ground pork with rice wine, scallions, garlic, and white pepper till cooked through.

3.) Mix contents of bowl and pan together.

4.) Get a little bowl of water and dampen the edges of your wrapper.

5.) Then, take a small table spoon of filling in the middle. Pinch the wrapper in half and fold over twice on each side.

That's it! Once made, you can boil them or pan fry.

Reading

I love to read. My favorite books of all time are the Harry Potter books. My father bought them for me when I was quite young and I've read the three times over! Ask me any trivia about Harry and his friends and I bet you I will know the answer!

In addition to the Harry Potter books, I have also love "Kira and a Dog named Money", "The Diary of Anne Frank", "Flipped", Animal Farm". and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas".

I'm always looking for new books to read so if you know of one you think I might like, let me know!

Painting

I actually won a small competition in grade 9 for my painting of a dolphin but I wouldn't exactly call myself an artist. Regardless, I love painting! It makes me feel calm and can melt away an afternoon.

I've added a few pictures of my art below. Click through to see.

Animé

I LOVE ANIME! There is just something about the beautiful art and hopeful and joyous stories that makes me feel happy and understood.

Haikyuu！：Sugawara Koushi
