<em>This is perfect really. Nice style, good use of imperatives in recipe. </em>
<em>So no real corrections. But here are some alternative/improvement suggestions.</em>
My First Dish
I cooked my first dish at home the other day. It was a fried Chinese cabbage. To be more exact, it wasn't my first dish - I was able to cook as a kid, but unfortunately forgot the skills after long1* years of non-practice.
My father is a2* chef at home - he cooks very well. He coached me to cook this fried cabbage.
First put the oil in and wait until it is heated up3*; Second, put cabbage in and stir until it begins to wilt4*; Third, put a spoon of salt and continue to stir; Fourth, put half a spoon of gourmet powder and a little wine to add more flavour, stir for a little while, and then the fried cabbage is done!
Very simple, isn't it?
My father complimented that I had a good cooking gesture inherited from him. He took pride in his cooking skills. I found that I needed to exercise my arms both for holding the cooking pot and the stir-fry motions.
1* I would have said 'a lot of years' or ' a long time' here. I would use 'long years' to indicate having to wait.
2* the chef at home. 'A chef' is his profession.
3* Not sure why I wouldn't use passive here- the oil heats up -or- until the oil is hot.
4* wilt sounds more like 'die'. I would have said 'soften'.
<em>I love cabbage, sounds great.</em>
