1.17--Chinese Meal

Juniata College is located in Huntingdon, more specifically 3 blocks from our house. Juniata offers an Intensive English Language Program for international students from literally all over the world. It seems like we have gotten so many students, but it's mainly because most o' the students in this program are only here in America to work on the English...it's like for them, "studying abroad", if that makes sense. Anyway, Adam and I housed another Chinese girl, Shan Li; however, she was very shy and I felt like I really didn't really get a good chance to bond. My mother's Chinese daughter, Ivy was so sweet. So at the end o' the week, Ivy and her friend Ji Ping made a traditional Chinese meal for us. We were excited for a chance to try new food, and the girls were soo excited to make the meal for us.

They put lettuce in the boiling water.

After 5 minutes, it was done.

A few eggs...mixed with a chop-stick!! (:

Chinese Vegetable Noodles (left) & Hot sauce (right)
The noodles are made out o' vegetables, so they are very healthy. They looked just like spaghetti noodles that are a green color. The sauce packet on the right is added for flavor. There are different areas o' China that are known for their spicy foods. Ivy's hometown they love hot and spicy foods, so she brought the pack o' hotness! I tried it, it was indeed quite hot, but as long as it wasn't heaped on I liked it.

Gotta have some tomatoes?

Ivy cutting the tomatoes.
(She's so cute!!)

What a lovely job Ivy did...

The spicy bowl o' noodles...HOTT!

The dish sounds much cooler in Chinese:
In English -- Tomato Noodle.

Close up o' my food.
Can you see the green noodles? Eggs? Tomatoes? Lettuce?

It was soo delish!! Also, as you can see from the ingredients, it's ALL healthy. The noodles are made out o' veggies. Ivy told us that that is why most Chinese people are skinny, because they can eat two bowels o' this Tomato Noodle and it's not a big deal because there's no real seasoning in it. We really enjoyed getting to experience REAL Chinese food. Ivy and her friend, Jay Ping enjoyed hanging out and letting us taste food from their home!

THE END!!!
