If you’re reading this, it’s because you are also thinking of having an Asian wedding menu on your big day, because you’re a lover of Asian food or because you identify with this culture yourself. Whoever tries Asian food can’t help but want it at their wedding!
Did you know that Asian food is one of the most world-renowned delicacies? This is because the old culinary traditions from Asia continue to be preserved today.
When we talk about Asian food, many people straight away think of sushi, but the truth of the matter is that there are so many different options and you can create a menu with a wide range of choices.
So, make a note of all these ideas that we give you for your Asian themed wedding so that you can have a truly exotic banquet. It will be very successful because there is something for everyone!
Starters, first and second courses from Asia
Sweet and sour pork: This dish is perfect for a first course as it offers a mix of sweet and sour flavours that make a mark on your tongue. You could also use chicken instead of pork! The two flavours are delicious and your guests could choose between or even try both.
Spring rolls: These little treats have become integral to any Asian menu, a perfect choice for a starter. These crispy rolls are filled with peppers, soya and carrots, accompanied by a sweet and sour sauce.
Three-delight-rice: Who doesn’t know what this is? Cooked and salted rice with prawns, eggs and ham, sometimes adding carrots, peas or soya. As a first course, it would be an excellent choice!
Sushi: How could we possibly forget? These little bites rolled in nori seaweed are addictive for everyone who tries them. They usually consist of rice accompanied by other ingredients, mainly nigiri, maki, futomaki and temaki. They are perfect for starters!
Tofu Ma Po: This spicy combination is made up of tofu accompanied by chillies and beans and covered in spicy meat. It’s delicious! The best thing is that it can be served as either a starter, the first or second course.
Wonton Soup: If there was one dish to rule them all at a wedding, it would always have to be soup. Wonton soup is made up of thin dough filled with spicy pork that can be incorporated into a soup or served fried or cooked.
Chow Mein: The famous fried noodles that are served with vegetables, meat or shellfish, are an extremely popular dish in China, and must appear on every menu! Will you leave it out of yours?
And for dessert: A table of Asian sweets
Mochis: This dessert is made up of round rice biscuits with a rubbery texture. The rice makes a vapour and is then crushed. But please be careful when swallowing them! The rubbery texture could be dangerous.
Dorayakis: A type of Japanese sweet that consists of two round biscuits filled with anko, the dough made from sweet beans with azuki. Delicious!
The bearded dragon sweets: A typical dessert made from traditional Chinese candy floss that consists of many thin strands of sugar.
