Marakai Results!

Hi recently at my school we had a cooking competition called Marakai! Marakai means garden food. The reason it's called Marakai is because we have to use 5 ingredients from our own school garden. The ingredients we use were kale, bok choy, spinach, lemongrass, and spring onion.
I did a dish with one of my friends named Bella you can look at her blog too! Here is the link http://wbsisabellas.blogspot.com/
We made Chicken And Bok Choy Gyozas With A Lemongrass Infused Dipping Sauce And A Side Of Nori Miso Soup. Here is us making the dish.

We won the school competition and moved on to regionals! At regionals we cooked the same dish except there were a lot more people there. Here is our dish that we made!
We won two certificates! The first one was the best main dish and the second one was the most independent workers! We also won a $10 voucher for our school to bunnings! Here is us holding our prizes!

 Here is the recipe if you would like to try it for yourself!
