At this week's My Sister's Kitchen it was the turn of Puring, where she was sharing with us a recipe from the Philipines. The dish was a shrimp stir fry, something that many of the group had not tried before. To prepare the food, everyone helped in cutting the snake beans, pumpkin and onions. One job that some were not so keen helping with was de-veining the shrimp! Once the preparation was done, the children took part in a drama workshop as the grown up's got cooking, slowly adding the ingredients to the wok. We were treated to some light entertainment before food was served, as everyone watched a performance by the children, which told a funny story of an old man and woman, and by the sound of the applause and the smiling bows it was easy to see that everyone enjoyed. From there, everyone gathered around the enormous table and ate the delicious food, with many going back for seconds!
