The next day we woke up and enjoyed the wonderful breakfast. We went to Beijing to take a cooking class. The instructor explained to us that the common cooking methods in china are to stir-frying, deep frying, and steaming. The seasonings that ther us are soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and yellow wine. so after we went over all the history of the cooking we finally got to cook it on our own. When we were done we got to sit down and enjoyn our creations.
