We had people over to cook dinner last night. It was our most interactive meal yet. We ended up eating:
Chicken in a Cashew Nut Sauce (only without the cashews)
Crisp Fried Aubergine (aubergine = eggplant. We used Japanese eggplants because they are not as mushy in the inside as the round variety)
Toor Dal (an oily lentil)
Bread
White Rice
and Black Rice Pudding for dessert
The really amazing thing is that out of the 7 people who ate dinner at our place (including Michael and myself) only 1, or maybe 2 people did not have a hand in cooking something. We actually had 4 people working at our little 4 burner stove top at one point.
We should explain that helping with the prep work and cooking was actually part of the deal when these folks agreed to come over. As we have mentioned before, having a real kitchen with burners and an oven is something of a novelty in many apartments here in Beijing, so being invited to an actual kitchen can be a draw.
We are hoping to take advantage our kitchen magnet many more times.
