Warm-weather Food

It was really warm last night in our stuffy shoebox of an apartment, so we decided to McGuyver together some bun. You don't have to slave over a hot stove for too long to make it, and it's cool and refreshing. Because we're sooooo spontaneous and crazy, we added some rice paper wrappers, making our bun into cuon.

Ignore the sad-looking fish (pulled from the depths of the freezer) and wilting herbs (bought earlier in the week and languishing in the heat). Luckily, the nice thing about cuon is that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and despite cutting a few corners, it still tasted good.

And because we're so klassy and tasteful, we accessorized with some scallion oil and peanuts. And real china! (But not cuz we wanted to -- the wrappers didn't fit on our usual paper plates...hehe.)
