1st Chinese cooking course - tomato and egg soup
I've been thinking about writing recipes of Chinese cooking for a long time. Now finally I decide to take the step forward, I cannot stand myself anymore for just thinking and imagining all the time!
"I cannot live without Chinese food!!!" I'm alway saying this to Alex. I'm not exaggerating, sincerely!!! I've been abroad of China for 4 years, and I miss Chinese food everyday! The good thing is that I love cooking, I can spend hours in the kitchen and I enjoy it! But I only cook Chinese food, very stubborn, aren't I? Of course I'm always the one who is in charge of the kitchen at home. It's not that Alex doesn't cook, but I just don't give him the chance, kakaka. I'm very domineering too, aren't I? LOL! Good that he is very relaxed, and willing to be the 'victm' of my food, lol! But I'm not a bad cook at all, Alex and his brother can prove it (who are my constant 'victms') O(∩_∩)O
The first dish I'd like to introduce is ~~~~~TOMATO AND EGG SOUP~~~~
It's a very simple dish, and one of my favourites! Ready in 10 mins!
Recipe:
1) Ingredients:
3-4 tomatos (medium), 1-2 eggs, 400-500ml water, oil (either azeit or vegetable oil), salt.
2) Cut tomatos in pieces, smash eggs.
3) Put water in pot, add tomatos and some oil (not much), then boil (Mid-fire).
4) After it is boiling for 5 mins, put eggs in, turn off fire after 10 seconds.
5) Add some salt, READY!
Done! All the pics are taken by Alex and me :-) Wanna have a look how our dinner was on that day? Very simple, a main dish, a soup, and a lot of rice of course, hehe. YUMMY!

Ethnic Miao - II
Have a look!
Amazing, isn't it? This is one pic I chose online. I haven't got the chance to visit Miao area yet, when I go back to China next time, I will visit for sure and take lots of photos (*^__^*)
The whole set above must be heavy, I guess at least several kilos. I have to try next time during my visit. I don't think the girls are wearing all these everyday, it must be something very percious and they only wear during festivals and celebrations.
There is a widespread legend about the ancestor of Miao tribe. At the beginning of the world, a butterfly was borned inside a maple tree. This butterfly fell in love with the bubles in the river, afterwards she laid 12 eggs. One egg became the ancestor of Miao, and all the other 11 eggs turned into different creatures in the world. So Miao people believe the butterfly is the mother of their ancestor, and regard her as "Butterfly Mama".
Miao people like to use figures like butterfly and maple leaves in their embroideries, batiks and bijutarias, to in memory of their ancestors. They also use a lot different creatures such as animals (dragon, phenix, fish...) and plants (flowers) to symbolize productive and lively life.
So, this is what I know about Miao. I'm very looking forward to visiting Guizhou, it's a neighbouring provice of my hometown Sichuan, so I shouldn't miss it when going back next time!
One more pic of cute Miao kids O(∩_∩)O

Ethnic Miao - I
During my last two fairs, I exhibited some original bijutaria from one ethnic in China, a lot of people showed a lot of interest. Now I just put some of these biju in Loja Qiao, so I think it's good to talk about this ethnic group here (*^__^*)
So the ethnic is called MIAO, and most of them live in the province of Guizhou and Yunnan, very south of China. I don't know if you have any idea of Chinese geography, anyway, you can easily google them.
When talking about Miao, there are 3 things which cannot be NOT mentioned: BIJUTARIA, EMBROIDERY and BATIK. I love the embroidery and batik too, hope in the future I can talk about them here.
We Chinese usually say Miao Silver when referring Miao bijutaria. But actually these traditional trinkets are not only made from silver, but also copper-nickel alloy. That's why the value is less than pure silver biju.
