Rice Rice Baby March 23, 2009

For this last Monday night supper club, I decided on rice as the main ingredient. Despite the fact that a bag of rice can get quite costly, I was fortunate that rice is a regular staple in any Asian home. Tony's place is no exception.

We started off with white sushi - a poor man's toro according to Tony and he is right! Just a nice clean cut of white tuna on top of sushi rice and a splash of ponzu sauce.






For the real appetizer however. Now see this is how you know it is the Chubbymonster's cooking night... there will always be just a slight bit too much food.

The real appetizer was spicy tuna hand roll - tuna mixed with mayo and siracha on sushi rice wrapped with seaweed.



The next dish was kimchi fried rice. a special thanks to our very special guest Kai for making it happen with his expertise in making kimchi fried rice. Real simple, cooked rice fried with kimchi and some marinated beef from Zion market and a little scallions. We topped the rice with a fried egg.




To relieve us from a carborific meal, the next dish was a marinated beef wrap. Real simple grilled marinated beef with juliened carrots and radish. Wrap all of these goodies up with lettuce leaf and dip in red chilli paste.



To keep up with the rice theme, we finished up with sweet sticky rice and mango.



The entire meal cost less than $24. Special thanks to Kai for making the kimchi fried rice and to the rest of the Monday Night Supper Club members for a job well done!


Cheers -
