Step-by-Step Guide: How to Prepare an Authentic Asian-Style Dinner at Home
Would you like to surprise your family or friends with an original Asian dinner at home? Asian cuisine is more fashionable than ever and it offers a host of varied, tasty dishes. Need some inspiration? Get your notepad ready! Here’s a step-by-step guide to making an oriental dinner with Asian food from Ta-Tung.
Eastern classics never fail
To whet your appetite, how about starting the evening with some of the most popular Asian nibbles? One essential dish is spring rolls, which are delicious and, thanks to their format, ideal finger food. Crispy rolled dough encases a symphony of juicy flavours that you can serve with different sauces. Do you feel like innovating by trying new varieties of spring rolls? Then give the four cheeses a try, or what about our ham-and-Edam spring rolls?
The crown jewel of Chinese cuisine
Special fried rice has become part of daily life. It’s very easy to prepare (just heat it for two minutes in the microwave) and offers a whole set of tasty ingredients that enhance the flavour of the aromatic oriental rice. You can also opt for the special fried rice and beef with mushrooms and bamboo combo menu, a complete meal that you’ll have ready in a heartbeat.
A dish for all tastes
Noodles are always a winner. Stir-fried noodles are the perfect choice to serve as the main course in an Asian dinner. Sautéed with chicken and the best vegetables, Ta-Tung’s stir-fried noodles offer an irresistible blend of aromas and textures. And if you’re looking for stronger flavours and new experiences, another good choice is noodle curry. You’ll love it!
The finishing touches
To complete your homemade Asian dinner, we recommend two Asian specialties that’ll win your guests over. Gyozas are Japanese dumplings filled with chicken, vegetables and pepper. Because of their small size and lightness, they make the ideal nibbles to whet your appetite or to end the perfect evening. Finally, another similar option is prawn hakao: a Chinese variant that you can prepare in the microwave in just a minute and a half.
It’s all in the details
Now you’ve sorted out your menu, it’s time to think about what else you need to throw the perfect Asian dinner party at home. Don’t forget the details! They’ll give you a real opportunity to surprise your guests. Get a small selection of oriental sauces (soy, sweet-and-sour and teriyaki sauce), Asian drinks, decorations and tableware, and don’t forget the chopsticks! Along with the delicious Asian dishes mentioned above, all these accessories will take you and your friends to the Far East without leaving your dining room.
Do you love Asian cuisine? Flavours, textures, aromas … Asian food is exquisite! And the good news is that you don’t need to spend hours in the kitchen to enjoy it. Surprise your guests with an Asian dinner at home with the best Asian dishes from Ta-Tung.
