Craving a taste adventure that’ll wow your guests without breaking a sweat? Look no further than these 5 easy & tasty Chinese recipes! If you are planning a small gathering of friends or a larger party, you can ditch the takeout and impress your guests with these flavorful Chinese Dinner Ideas.

This month, our Supper Club is a Chinese-themed dinner Party, and we are sharing all the tips and ideas to make your own party a success.

Thursday, we shared 5 ways to decorate your tables with unique and chic ideas. Each table was decorated with a creative Asian style, but each was completely different. I choose a Blue and White Chinoiserie style tablescape. However, if you don’t decorate with blue and white, you are sure to see a style that does speak to your design aesthetic. If you missed the tablescape post, you can see all 5 tables at Budget Blue & White Chinoiserie Tablescape: Easy DIY Ideas

Chinese Recipes

Each of our Supper Club hostesses is responsible for sharing one recipe to complete a full Chinese dinner party menu.
