Cooking Party

I love meeting friends that enjoy food as much as I do. Last week, a few of us decided to have a cooking party. There wasn't really a theme to it, but there was an obvious Asian theme with a few tweaks on what looked good in the market. On the menu was some Mango Salsa, Sushi Rolls, Spicy Tuna on Crispy Rice, Pickled Cucumbers, and Fish Pockets with XO sauce.

We really centered our menu around the Spicy Tuna with Crispy Rice, a recipe that I found online during my blog reading session. The Crispy Rice is sushi rice shaped into these rectangular balls and pan fried. The tuna is mixed in with equal parts of mayo and sriracha sauce. The sauce has a nice kick to it and really was super easy to make. The rice was crispy on the outside but still moist and soft in the inside. This was really yummy!

There are definitely more cooking parties to come. Our next one is an American theme... Mmmm.. Mac N Cheese!
