I want to cook some Aussie (or any foreign food they aren't used to) for my Chinese friends but all I have to work with is a wok. The only things I can think of are pasta and hamburgers, other than that anything I could cook won't be that different to what they're used to. Any suggestions?

Oh, it's really hard. I can't cook tho.
How about salad? Seafood? Fries? Wines from Aus? Or order a pizza.:P
Enjoy your cooking!

Yes, Someguy, I have had this problem. You could buy a saucepan and then u have a few more options. How about a stew with REAL dumplings? Mashed potatoes is always popular. And serve a simple desert. But serve the food in dishes with spoons and persuade themn to serve portions. This is part of the difference as much as the food itself.

Good luck

Mashed potatoes is an excellent idea, I've done this for Chinese friends. Try adding some leeks or chilli to liven it up a bit... oh, and if only I could get some real cheese here to melt on top..... mmmmmmmmm.

A French friend of mine makes some delicious cold dishes. Try buying some tuna and stuffing tomatoes/boiled eggs with it. Even better if you can get your hands on some mayo!

You are great, Cali. Northern men in China are not good at cooking in general.
