Last minute dinner party

The other morning I woke up ridiculously early craving Asian food. After about an hour of recipe searching I put together a menu and decided to invite a couple of friends over for dinner.

Menu:

Pan Fried Tofu with Spicy Ginger Soup - this recipe could use a little work. Scale back on the vinegar to start. I tripled the recipe, added some garlic, baked the tofu (instead of frying) at 375 and served the soup just as the broth and allowed everyone to add what additions they wanted, making it a very interactive dinner party.

Additions: rice, tofu, carrots and cabbage sautéed with ginger and garlic, sriracha, bean sprouts, korean chili paste, fresh sliced jalepenos, toasted sesame seeds, cilantro, scallion meatballs, green onions and pork and cabbage dumplings.

Thank you Choice for the incredibly delicious dessert, Jesus and Ben for the dumpling assembling, and Bradley for the perfectly formed meatballs! Also, thank you Michael for being extremely lovely.
