World Link Activity: "Jiao Zi Workshop"

November, 24th, Sunday evening, World Link students learned to make the famous Chinese cuisine-Jiaozi-all by themselves! Jiaozi is the traditional Chinese cuisine in Northern China. Since it sounds like the phrase "transforming of a new year," Chinese people regard eating jiaozi as an essential part of celebrating the Chinese New Year. This time, under the instruction of the assistants, the students got to make the Jiaozi from scratch and then sample their work as well.
