Uz, I’m having some mom friends of mine over for lunch in a couple of weeks to celebrate the kids going back to school. I’m doing an Asian themed menu, and since it’s still so hot here, I want to keep the menu light and refreshing. Here’s what I’m planning:

Sesame Noodles w/Chicken and Peanut Sauce (I make this a lot, it’s always a huge hit!)

Sesame Noodles with Chicken Recipe : Food Network Kitchen : Food Network

Spicy Shrimp Lettuce Cups

Spicy Asian Shrimp Lettuce Cups recipe - from Tablespoon!

^^ Both of these recipes I’ve linked I’ve made numerous times, they are always well received

Gobi Manchurian (Shireen Anwar’s recipe)

Spring Rolls

Mini Crab Cakes

(for the crab cakes, I buy lump crab meat..I finely chop yellow/orange/red bell pepper, green onion, add Old Bay seafood seasoning, black pepper, bread crumbs..then in a small bowl whisk together one egg, some mayonnaise, a dollop of dijon mustard and pour it over the crab mixture…mix well and refridgerate. When you’re ready to make, melt a pat of butter and some olive oil in a nonstick skillet and form into bite size or a little larger cake/pucks and then fry until cooked through/nicely browned on all sides. you’ll work in batches. i drain them on a paper towel lined plate before arranging on a platter.)

For Dessert I’m just going to serve ice cream/sorbets or maybe make cold coffee.

thanks khatts I love gobi manchurian, shrimp lettuce idea. And I love cold coffee. Thanks
