A wide variety of Taiwanese food

Finally, two semesters has been past and I've got more free time the other day doing some interesting things such as cooking!!
In Britain, an ordinary sandwich costs more than 2 quid as well as 1 quid with a bottle of mineral water. As a result, it's vitally pivotal for skint students to do some handmade meals. In Taiwan, one of my favourite food is dumplings so I decided to find out a recipe and started cooking!! It seemed straightforward to make fillings and I bought wrappers at China town which cost me 2.1 quid for 40 pieces. So pricey. But other ingredients are cheap including vinegar, minced pork, sweet heart lettuce, soya sauce and some water. Quite easy, isn't it?

However, an idea came to my mind that maybe I could fry the dumplings. Here u can see, another form of food is produced!! Taiwanese food is lovely :) Same food can vary with distinct cooking methods.
As the wrappers were running out and I've still got some fillings remained, I was wondering if I could use the fillings to make "pork thick soup" 肉羹湯. Afterwards, I were spooning them into soup with weird British beef cube, and it tasted not bad. It appeared that I invented a new soup. Gorgeous!
