There are plenty of ways to incorporate Chinese wedding food into your celebration without having a full wedding banquet. You may reduce the number of courses, integrate your favorite Chinese wedding food items into a Western menu, and modify dishes to meet specific dietary needs.
- Chinese Spring Rolls. Chinese Spring Rolls are often small yet filled with many ingredients, ranging from shredded pork, chopped shrimps, cabbages, mushrooms, and carrots—all packed in a spring roll wrapper often made from flour.
- Baozi (Chinese Steamed Bun With Fillings) You’re probably familiar with hot Chinese steamed buns with various fillings such as pork and vegetables. However, these steamed buns, locally known as Baozi, are also served as appetizers.
- Mantou (Chinese Steamed Bun) Like the Baozi, Mantou is also a popular steamed bun, particularly in Northern China. However, this does not have any fillings as it is only steamed, with ingredients typical to bread, including wheat flour, egg, water, and other leavening agents.
- Jiaozi (Chinese Dumplings) Jiaozi or Chinese Dumplings consist of fillings closely sealed in dough and are often cooked through steaming or deep-frying.
We’ve developed recipes for many Cantonese-style banquet dishes, including Walnut Shrimp, Long Life Noodles, and Steamed Whole Fish. Give some of these recipes a try and cook up your own Chinese banquet feast at home!
- Chinese-Style Spareribs. Spareribs are often part of a pu pu platter—a selection of Chinese appetizers. There's a range of flavors that can be used, and they're all delicious.
- Chinese Pork Pot Stickers. These popular dumplings, steamed on one side and pan-fried on the other, are very easy to make and always a crowd pleaser. Choose a basic pork recipe for the same flavor you've enjoyed before.
- Traditional Crab Rangoon. Crab rangoon, also called crab puffs, are an American-Chinese invention featuring a crispy fried wrapper and a creamy crab and cheese interior.
- Chinese Chicken Wings. No matter the flavor, you just can't go wrong with chicken wings. The Chinese-inspired kind has become popular to serve in place of the spicy Buffalo version.
- Appetizer – Cheesy Shrimp Spring Rolls. These crispy rolls do not require deep frying, pre-cooking of the filling, and are baked. So they are much easier to prepare than traditional spring rolls.
- Main – Orange Chicken. This is the dish that you do want to make right before serving, so the chicken will be crispy and hot. But you have another option to prepare everything ahead of time.
- Side dish 1 – Beef Fried Rice. Cook the dish a day ahead and store it in a container in the fridge. Reheat it in the microwave right before serving. You can use any leftover or deli roast beef in this recipe.
- Side dish 2 – Hoisin Roast Asparagus. Roast the asparagus a day ahead and store it in a container in the fridge. You can reheat it in the microwave or in the oven (after you reheat the spring rolls).
