The girls came over for an evening of Asian food. We started off with salted edamame, chicken and vegetable egg rolls, and tempura sweet potato, asparagus and broccoli. Our main dishes were spicy chicken over white rice and shrimp and vegetable stir-fry over noodles. We ended our feast with mango and strawberry sorbet. A great feast to share with wonderful friends!
