Brown Sugar with Ginger soup
Some of the people in my class are having a cold recently.

garlic
brown sugar
red dates
medlar
directions:
cook the water in the pan
add ginger pieces that are diced

but if you want you can have them in the water longer
to heal a bad cold you can bite the ginger pieces

Ingrediants:
hot water 1 pan

green onion
garlic
ginger
vegetables and peeled beef
you can add any vegetables like mushrooms carrots to it if you like.
Directions:
chop the garlic, ginger, green onion and put it in the hot water in a wide pan with a package of hot pot seasoning.
If you do not eat spicy food, just put garlic , ginger, green onion in with water
bring it to boil and put in meat or whatever you want.
wait them to turns color then you can eat it .
We can also deep it in the condiment after it has been cooked
there are several things that we can choose from:
sesame paste
caraway
pepper sauce
vinegar
soy sauce
sesame oil
etc.
In my opinion it actually taste better with the condiment.
In addition, there are a lot of kinds of hot pot. Such as seafood hot pot, bone soup hot pot and sour soup fish hot pot.. you can put noodles in to make it a whole meal as well.
Some of the ingredients above can be found in the Chinese market.

Braided Easter Egg Bread
For Easter I decided to make a different Easter bread that I've had at various Easter dinners and the like. I found the recipe on this website.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, divided
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 eggs
- 5 whole eggs, dyed (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions
1) In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, salt and yeast; stir well. Combine milk and butter in a small saucepan; heat until milk is warm and butter is softened but not melted.
2) Gradually add the milk and butter to the flour mixture; stirring constantly. Add two eggs and 1/2 cup flour; beat well. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth.
3) Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
4) Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal size rounds; cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Roll each round into a long roll about 36 inches long and 1 1/2 inches thick. Using the two long pieces of dough, form a loosely braided ring, leaving spaces for the five coloured eggs. Seal the ends of the ring together and use your fingers to slide the eggs between the braids of the dough.
5) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place loaf on a buttered baking sheet and cover loosely with a damp towel. Place load in a warm place and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes Brush risen loaf with melted butter.
6) Bake in preheated over for 50 to 55 minutes, or until golden.
Changes
I only used 4 eggs, as I didn't realize that I had run out of eggs. The bread was a big hit at my family's Easter dinner, so I'll definitely be making it again! When I would make it again, I would have probably used a bread machine as it would have made it all faster though.
