The Best Asian Finger Foods for Catering

Crispy & Fried Favorites: The Crunch That Guests Love

Crispy bites are often the first to disappear at any event, and it’s no wonder why. Their golden, crunchy exteriors give way to juicy, flavorful fillings that leave a lasting impression.

• Spring Rolls (Vietnamese & Chinese) – A classic party favorite, these rolls are stuffed with a mix of fresh vegetables, prawns, or minced pork and served with sweet chili sauce for a perfect sweet-spicy balance.
• Tempura Shrimp & Vegetables – Lightly battered and deep-fried to perfection, Japanese tempura brings a delicate crispness that highlights the natural sweetness of shrimp and seasonal vegetables.
• Korean Fried Chicken Bites – Double-fried for extra crunch, these addictive chicken bites are coated in a sticky glaze of soy, garlic, and gochujang (Korean chili paste), delivering the perfect mix of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors.
