The Best Asian Starters!

We LOVE Asian food at our house and eat it frequently! Asian appetizers are the perfect starters to ANY Asian dish. We rarely make Sweet and Sour Chicken or General Tso’s Chicken without whipping up some Wontons or Egg Drop Soup as well!

Each of these appetizers is easy to whip up! All are tasty and delicious and all would be a hit. Serve an all-Asian spread or pair them with other favorites from other places around the world.
