Asian Snacks/Appetizers

And now it really is time to start cooking! To alleviate hunger pangs or to accompany an aperitif, you could simply serve crispy prawn crackers. Or you may like to begin the meal with a more sophisticated appetizer. In Asia, soups are served not before a meal but in the middle or at the end. So before an Asian meal is cooked in a wok, serve a light salad or, for an even more authentic touch, spring rolls with well-seasoned sauce. Stuffed won ton wrappers or steamed rolls are other alternatives. The wrappers or skins for these delicacies can be bought, ready for use, in Asian shops. You could also star a meal with pickled vegetables or flat unleavened bread, like Indian poori and parathas, and these could also be served as accompaniments to the main dishes.

Asian love snacking between meals, Be it a tea party or thanksgiving feast, we squeeze out the time for it. The one thing that frequently comes to mind when considering a cocktail party is the kind of food to serve. It does not reflect very kindly on the host if food is omitted entirely. You can serve drinks alone; open a full bar but there must be at least snacks for your guests to nibble. Those who are aware that they're invited to a cocktail will not expect to be fed a full meal. As such, you need not worry about how substantial your portions are or how adequately balance the choice of dishes should be. The trick is to serve simple, lightly flavored and easy-to-eat morsels of anything you can find in the refrigerator or pantry. Finger foods are really elegant and fuss-free if you prepare them in advance.
