Why not try something different for your next dinner party? We\u2019ve all got our star dishes\u00a0we like to serve up to impress, but it\u2019s worth surprising guests every now and again. In\u00a0a recent post we looked at how to throw a Mexican dinner party at home and today\u00a0we\u2019ll show you how to organise your own street-food festival. Simply get some\u00a0disposable party tableware and jot down the following ideas. You can\u2019t go wrong!<\/p>\n
An eastern touch<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n King prawns and soya noodles? Follow the instructions for soaking the rice noodles on\u00a0the packet. Stir-fry a little garlic and chopped chilli or cayenne pepper in a wok. Add the\u00a0peeled king prawns and, 3 minutes later, the noodles. Stir well and finish off with some\u00a0fresh coriander, chopped peanuts and a spoonful of soya vinegar. Give it a toss and\u00a0you\u2019re good to go!<\/p>\n DIY hotdog<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019re having an open-air party, fire up a hot plate for your guests to make (or order)\u00a0their own hotdogs with their favourite toppings. All you need are frankfurters, buns,\u00a0fried onion, grated mozzarella and different sauces. Simple yet irresistible.<\/p>\n Cones of all colours<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Onion rings, calamari rings, chips, aubergine sticks, chicken fingers, crudit\u00e9s\u2026 all\u00a0simple recipes you can serve in cones for guests to help themselves and dip in the\u00a0selection of sauces you\u2019ve set out: honey and mustard, vinaigrettes, barbecue sauce,\u00a0lime mayonnaise, balsamic glazes or any of the other mayonnaises we suggest in this\u00a0post.<\/p>\n M\u00e9xico lindo<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n You can\u2019t throw a street-food party without some decent tacos. You can go for a\u00a0traditional mouthwatering cochinita pibil or make your own vegetarian version for those\u00a0who don\u2019t eat meat or prefer a lighter version, e.g. with cream cheese and roast\u00a0vegetables with a dash of mustard vinaigrette.<\/p>\n For dessert, \u00a1churros con chocolate!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Flour, water, olive oil, a pinch of salt and sugar: that\u2019s all you need to make these tasty\u00a0fritters with a dusting of sugar, which have proved a hit worldwide, from London to\u00a0China. They couldn\u2019t be easier to make, but don\u2019t overdo it: they\u2019re best served in small\u00a0batches with bowls of thick hot chocolate for dipping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Why not try something different for your next dinner party?
