Dinner Party: Pasadena



The theme of the dinner party in Pasadena was Japanese food, and the star of the night was the salmon noodle soup, or udon as they say in Japan. Imagine teriyaki marinated salmon, bok choy, spinach, green onions, shiitake mushrooms daikon sprouts and nori on top of a fluffy bed of white udon noodles. Ladle onto this homemade dashi or broth, and you've got yourself an amazing soup. To accompany this, we had steamed kabocha and potato croquettes. You can view the full recipe here.

The dinner party looked beautiful and the food sounded delicious. I know it was a fun evening for all of you. By the way, I would love some of the dessert right now. Don't think I'll try to make it though. I'll stick my ginger cookies.
