How The Boys Cooking Club Started

In 2010, a 10 year old boy had a great idea to share a passion of cooking with his friends. He wanted to start a club where they could learn about food, cooking and have a fun time together. He invited his friends and they started meeting once a week at his house.
They have learned many things about food (nutrition, different ways to cook eggs, etc..), had some contests (Junior Iron Chef, making meals at home), and had some fun adventures, (like cooking over a campfire and in a dutch oven).

In March 2012 it will be two years since this club was started, and they are still going strong!!

Bon Apetit, Junior Chefs!

Wontons Anyone?





We made some simple, steamed won tons and ate them with soy sauce, mandarin, and orange dipping sauces. The boys even experimented with their own fillings, making banana filled steamed won tons.

Easy Steamed Won tons

Ingredients:
1 package won ton wraps
dipping sauces
water
canola oil for cooking
Filling:
1 lb. ground pork, crumbled and browned
4 cups chopped cabbage
1 Tbsp. minced green onion
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. sesame oil
1/2 tsp. salt
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine filling ingredients. Drop one heaping teaspoon of filling into center of wrap. Moisten edges with water using your finger tip and fold wrap in half and pinch to seal, creating a ripple pattern along edge by pinching and gently pushing together small segments.
For steamed won tons, heat a pot of water until it is steaming, place steamer basket over steam. place individual won tons in basket and steam for about 5-7 minutes.
Serve hot with dipping sauces.
