    Veg

    Edamame

    A bowl of boiled edamame beans.

    Edamame is 1 of the easiest and healthiest authentic Asian appetizers that you can serve.

    Simply boil a large pot of water, pour in the frozen edamame and boil for a minute or 2. (Check the back of your packaging for the exact timing.) Carefully strain through a colander and serve!

    Don't eat the skin- you're meant to pop the pods out (like peanuts.) The skin is super tough and fibrous and not very tasty I imagine!

    Note: add a bit of salt to the pot of water, or sprinkle some garlic powder and chili powder on the cooked beans if you want more flavor. You can also coat with some sesame oil.

    Others

    Korean Pancake

    Homemade Korean scallion pancake next to a scissors.

    Chinese Braised Eggs is a delicious, easy make-ahead dish that can last for almost a week in the fridge! It makes for a very comforting meal, even with just a bowl of white rice or porridge.

    👩 Expert Tips

    Tip #1: If you're also serving a main dish, serve 3-5 appetisers per person. (Note: this is a total of 3-5 for all the appetisers, and not 3-5 per type of appetiser!) If it's just a cocktail party, prepare at at least 12-15 pieces per person. (Of course, this depends on how big you make each canapé!)

    Tip #2: Serve a mix of popular Asian appetizers: cold and hot, sweet and savory.

    Greedygirlgourmet eating 2 sandwiches in Scotland

    Hi I'm Zhen also known as GGG! I couldn't boil water till I was 18! However, I love creating community and nurturing people, so when I lived abroad (in St. Andrews then London) for 11 years, I started hosting regular parties for friends, and that's how I started cooking and helping out in professional kitchens. (Couldn't cook before that!) I even organised a supper club for charity (which strangers came to!) Learning to cook late, I make sure my recipes go into enough detail for those new to Asian cuisine or who love a test kitchen approach to cooking!
