Chinese Dumplings and Vietnamese Spring Rolls

Who says you can't have Asian food in Kenya? It may not be easy to find near Tenwek, but we learned to make it at home. We decided to have an Asian cooking feast with the McLaughlins. We made so many dishes that the meal had to be spread out to two days! We made Chinese dumplings, Vietnamese spring rolls, and Vietnamese cabbage salad. We also made samosas and apple empanadas (OK, these last two are definitely not Asian dishes but who cares...they were delicious!).

Not bad, Anna!

Enjoying the results...


Tany Ngar (her family came from New Zealand to volunteer at Tenwek for 2 months) also taught us a few secrets about making the perfect dumpling!
