    A hand dipping a vegan lumpia into sauce
    Am I the only who sees watermelons on the plate?!

    • Sugar free sweet treats

    Vegan

    A bowl of spicy red popcorn made with chilli oil
    Easy Spicy Popcorn, no chilli powder/ flakes necessary
    Great way to use up the last bit of that Lee Kum Kee Chilli Oil Bottle! (Don't use LaoGanMa if you want vegan popcorn, as it's not 100% clear whether their chilli crisp is vegan or not)
    Check out this recipe
    A bowl of spicy popcorn popped in LaoGanMa chill crisp oil.

    If you've never popped corn on the stove before, it's super easy (and fun!), click the link for a Healthy Stovetop Popcorn Guide.

    Vegan curry puff, karipap or epok epok
    A popular street snack in South East Asia, curry puffs are the perfect finger food. They're also great for parties because they can be batch made in advance, taste good at room temperature and can have a variety of fillings in them so it's a bit of fun for people not knowing what they'll pick! Best of all, this dough is super easy to make- no messy kneading for ages!
    Check out this recipe
    Vegan potato curry puff fried to a crisp golden brown on a plate.
    Vegan Thai Corn Fritters
    Corn fritters are a thing in Asia- I often make an Indonesian/ Malay version called bakwan jagung but they call for eggs. Try these if you're vegan as they use flax eggs instead!
    Check out this recipe
    Several brown Thai corn fritters on a fully laid out table
    Well-fried vegan egg rolls on a white plate
    Vegan egg rolls or lumpia
    Egg rolls sans the egg. Sounds a bit like an oxymoron, but why should vegans miss out on this delicious snack? Just looking at those well-fried golden rolls makes me hungry and it's almost bedtime!
    Check out this recipe
    Well-fried vegan egg rolls on a white plate
    Vegan Lumpia
    Yes I just shared one vegan egg roll recipe above- but those were fried and these are baked or air fried, so 2 totally different things!
    Check out this recipe
    A hand dipping a vegan lumpia into sauce
    Shishito peppers (Air Fryer)
    These delicious green peppers can cost a lot if you have them in a restaurant, but they're actually super easy to make at home. One of the 1st dishes I learnt to make actually! Check out this 5-star recipe by a Certified Vegan Nutrition Health Coach!
    Check out this recipe

    Meat

    Baked Vietnamese Wings
    Inspired by the popular Pok Pok Wings, this is a healthier take as they're baked and not fried. With the citrus, sugar and fish sauce in the marinade, the sauce is so good you want to lick your fingers!
    Check out this recipe
    6 baked vietnamese fish sauce chicken wings on a vintage plate.

    Chicken wings are a perfect Superbowl recipe so here are 11 more Asian chicken wing ideas! (If u need them to be gluten-free, check out my GF Super Bowl round-up, which includes some wing recipes.)

    A plate of Indian Chicken Pakoras with sauce
    Indian Chicken Pakoras
    These fried treats are so delicious that have nearly 30 5-star recipes. Not to mention, they're nut-free, gluten-free and dairy-free!
    Check out this recipe
    A plate of Indian Chicken Pakoras with sauce
    Chicken Satay with peanut sauce
    Chicken satay is super popular in Singapore- it's actually served as an appetiser on Singapore Airlines- regularly voted 1 of the best airlines in the world-Business Class Section! It's so good I once saw a fellow passenger go into a real strop because he didn't get his satay- he called all the airline staff up to the top-ranked steward to complain! Anyway, now you can make your own! The only change I'd make to this recipe is to use chicken leg meat instead of chicken breast as the latter can get really dry if overcooked.
    Check out this recipe
    Korean Popcorn Chicken
    Made in the air-fryer, and done in under 20 minutes, what's not to like about these chicken appetisers?
    Check out this recipe
    A plate of red korean popcorn chicken drumlets
    Tandoori Chicken Kebabs
    What can be easier to eat with your hands then kebab on sticks? The recipe even shows you how to make it in several ways: in a pan, air fryer, oven and grill! No wonder it has 5-star reviews from nearly 50 recipes.
    Check out this recipe
    Red Curry Pork Bao Bun
    Baos have become very popular in the last few years. Traditionally made with pork belly braised in soya sauce, the best thing about baos is that they're so flexible- they work perfectly with this red curry pork for 1!
    Check out this recipe
    2 pork curry baos with red cabbage on a plate

    Seafood

    A row of salmon and avocado canapes that look like watermelon slices
    Am I the only who sees watermelons on the plate?!
    Salmon and avocado canape
    A 5-minute to put together yet looks impressive and tastes good finger food perfect for your Superbowl Gathering!
    Check out this recipe
    A row of salmon and avocado canapes that look like watermelon slices
    Air fried crab rangoon appetisers
    Golden Crab Rangoons
    Make these look-so-good-you-really-want-to-pick-them-up-and-eat crab rangoons for your next party! Party food can have a rep for being unhealthy but these are made in the air fryer! Who can tell?
    Check out this recipe
    Air fried crab rangoon appetisers

    Vietnamese Shrimp Toast
    Shrimp + fish sauce + mayo = can't miss it
    Check out this recipe
    Peranakan sambal tuna dip
    This spicy, salty and sweet dip is made from canned tuna, and perfect for scooping up with nachos! Inspired by the recipe of a famous Singaporean Peranakan (Nyonya or, the fusion of Malays and Chinese) chef.
    Check out this recipe
    A grey Cocotte filled with a spicy sambal tuna dip and spring onions, placed next to a spring onion and flowers.
    Dynamite Shrimp
    This recipe cleverly calls for beer to make the batter - you won't believe how crispy the shrimp gets! If you don't have beer sub with carbonated water or plain as a last resort.
    Check out this recipe
    A close-up of shrimp poppers

    Vegetables

    A red chopstick picking up a cream cheese wanton
    Good chopstick skills!
    Fusion Wontons with Cream cheese & avocado filling
    I love traditional pork-shrimp wontons, but am also a fan of fusion flavours. Try this 5-starred East meets West wantons!
    Check out this recipe
    A red chopstick picking up a cream cheese wanton
    Close-up of someone holding Korean Sliders made with young jackfruit
    Young jackfruit is an amazing meat substitute but don't get ripe ones or they'll smell very strongly!
    Korean BBQ Sliders made using young jackfruit
    Sliders make the perfect finger food and, they're delicious too! If you've never cooked with young jackfruit before, it's often used in vegan stews as a replacement for pulled pork- try this recipe to introduce yourself to this vegan "meat"!
    Check out this recipe
    Close-up of someone holding Korean Sliders made with young jackfruit

    Note: the above recipe is not vegan because it uses LKK sauce- you could always use Chinese mushroom sauce instead if you are on a plant-based diet!

    Baked Jalapeno Poppers with Crispy Topping
    These East-meets-West reinterpretation of crab rangoon is healthier (baked) but still delicious!
    Check out this recipe
    A column of chilli poppers with a crispy topping
    Cut up vietnamese spring rolls on a plate with sauces at side
    Vietnamese Vegetarian spring rolls
    This recipe has thoughtfully included 3 different dipping sauces- no wonder it has over 50 5-star reviews! Vietnamese fresh spring rolls can be messy to eat as is so slice them before serving

    Japanese Jelly with fruits (Vegan) (Sugar free)
    The fruits taste extra sweet as the jellies have no sugar in them. These jellies are also low calorie and high in fibre but don't give them to the young or old as make choke (more details in the post) Since it's a party, not everyone will want a sugar-free dessert, so those who don't can pour syrup over the dish!

    Hello

    Greedygirlgourmet eating 2 sandwiches in Scotland

    Hi I'm Zhen! I couldn't boil water till I was 18 but after living abroad (in St. Andrews then London) for 11 years and having to cook for myself, I now love having friends and families over, and cooking for them. I tend to be slightly obsessive-compulsive, so I like to try many different versions of a recipe before coming up with my own "ultimate" version. Check out www.greedygirlgourmet.com every week for new tried-and-tested (on my guinea pigs aka guests!) Asian recipes which are full of flavour!
