Chinese Lunch?!
Answers: We are providing lunch for people in our office and we were thinking about Chinese food. What kind of extra stuff can I bring besides rice & noodles? I was thinking about tea, fortune cookies, egg rolls. Any more ideas?
Instead of just Chinese go with a complete Asian theme and throw in some sushi, something simple like California Rolls.
Any type of DimSum is good too...potstickers, crab rangoons, spring rolls, dumplings...
dumplings!
sweet and sour soup, crab rangoon
egg drop soup
Those little packets of soy sauce. Maybe some crab rangoon would be good too.
How about some decor? Fans, etc.
This is a light and nutritious recipe. This is perfect for picnics and anytime of the day. This dish is so simple to make. It tastes better overnight in the fridge. Serve cold.
