Congee with Shiitake Mushrooms, Scallops, and Shredded Chicken

I believe that cooking is the most natural way to share culture. Through simple, everyday Chinese dishes and real-life Mandarin, I help people connect with China. I have been cooking honest, home-style Chinese food for ten years— no fancy techniques, no hard‑to‑find ingredients. Just warmth, care, and the flavors of a real family kitchen. I am also a native Mandarin speaker and an experienced language instructor. In my sessions, we don't just cook. While the pot simmers, you'll pick up useful Chinese words and phrases — the kind people actually say at the table. I'll also share the little stories behind each dish: why we eat it, when we eat it, and what it means to us. Whether you're new to Chinese cooking or already love it, you're welcome at my table. Let's cook, learn, and discover China together. Join me for a cultural experience where language meets flavor.
