30 Easy Recipes for Asian-Inspired Snacks to Serve at Parties or as Starters When You Entertain.
Dim Sum are the tiny dishes served at yum cha lunches in Chinese restaurants around the world. This book teaches you how to make amazing dim sum treats such as crispy wontons, potsticker dumplings, spring rolls, noodle wraps and delicious custard tarts.
Dishes come from Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Japan and China. Recipes are based on tried-and-true, easy-to-prepare methods and techniques that the author has used in her own catering business. The emphasis is on lots of flavour, finger-food sized morsels, and cooking methods that are simple enough for home cooks to manage.
Fish and seafood dishes include Salmon and Asian Pesto Rice Parcels, Mussels with Egg Noodles and Black Bean Sauce, or Shrimp and Spring Onion Fritters. Try meat and poultry treats such as Peking-style Duck Pancake Wraps, Bok Choy Rolls with Spicy Chicken, or Mini Hoisin Spareribs.
Use the dips and sauces with all sorts of dishes - try Sweet Chilli, Sweet and Sour Sesame, Soy and Ginger and Plum. Sweet things also appear on the dim sum menu. Try Orange and Almond Fortune Cookies or Five-spice Custard Tarts. Or choose from delicious snacks such as Black and White Sesame Wonton Crisps or Egg Fried Rice Rolls.
Just one or two of these recipes will make all the difference to your next party.
