What Is an Asian Charcuterie Board?

An Asian-inspired charcuterie board is a snack charcuterie board featuring Asian-inspired bites. 

It’s highly adaptable, and the variations and combinations of the foods you can put on it are limitless. I’m not exaggerating; just imagine the diverse list of Asian cuisines you can take inspiration from when building your board!

Don’t know where to start? This particular Asian-style charcuterie board features Maki rolls and fresh spring rolls alongside assorted fresh fruits, crunchy veggies, and popular Asian dips.

The vibrant colors, comforting Asian flavors, and enjoyable textures are guaranteed to entice your guests. ?

As an Asian foodie myself, I can already imagine the variations I’ll make for my Asian charcuterie board. I’m thinking of a fusion between Filipino and Korean cuisine next time. 

Hear me out: The board can feature longganisa (Filipino sausages), lumpia (Filipino spring rolls), Korean-style pork wraps, assorted Asian snacks, and dips inspired by the two cuisines. Sounds good, right?

Once you experience how fun it is to assemble a themed snack board, it’ll be hard to return to the usual cheese and crackers.

You’ll get a mix of sweet, juicy fruits, crunchy vegetables, dips full of umami, and satisfying rolls in one platter. You can even consider a taste test for different food combos before the party to plan your Asian charcuterie board better.

Ingredients for an Asian-Inspired Charcuterie Board

• Maki rolls – We opted for vegan Maki rolls, but you can also make other versions like California rolls or Philadelphia rolls. ?
• Fresh spring rolls – Our Asian charcuterie board is incomplete without light and crunchy spring rolls. You can make them from scratch (see below) and customize their fillings!
• Carrot sticks – Delicious and satisfying with creamy Asian dips. You can also bake them in the oven.
• Celery sticks – Other than the color they add to the platter, celery sticks actually pair well with Asian flavors and aromatics. (As someone who hates celery, I’m pleasantly surprised with celery sticks and Thai peanut dip!)
• Grape tomatoes – Meaty and perfectly poppable for our Asian snack charcuterie board. 
• Strawberries – You can add your favorite fruits to this platter, but strawberries easily complement many sweet and savory snacks. 
• Dragonfruit – An Asian favorite, this exotic fruit is guaranteed to spark the curiosity of your guests. It has a delicious kiwi-like texture and light sweet flavor. 
• Mango – Pairs well with different rolls and salads when you mix and match the snacks in this beautiful board.
• Pomegranate -Makes a yummy combination with different types of Asian-inspired appetizers.
• Blueberries – To add a sweet-tart contrast to the savory Asian flavors.
• Edamame – You can also prepare your edamame with different seasonings!
• Soy sauce – I think it’s valid to say that this umami condiment is a must in any Asian-style charcuterie board!
• Asian dipping sauce – Feel free to add your favorite dips and sauces to this snack board. Use the other elements in the platter to know what to pick.
• Peanut sauce – Makes a fantastic dip and dressing for various Asian bites.

Ingredient Additions & Substitutions for an Asian Style Charcuterie Board

Chicken satay skewers

If you love meat skewers, what better addition to have on this Asian charcuterie board than chicken satay?

They’re actually quite simple to make: Just marinate strips of chicken breasts in soy sauce, rice vinegar, fish sauce, and whatever spices, fresh herbs, and seasonings you want.

Then, grill the marinated chicken in skewers with bell peppers.

Dumplings

Dumplings are undoubtedly one of the most crowd-pleasing Asian appetizers. You can fry or steam potstickers for this appetizer platter!

Gochujang lettuce cups

If you love Korea’s Gochujang paste, try it with different kinds of meat for lettuce cups!

To make Gochujang lettuce cups, cook your choice of meat (or tofu) in a sauce made with Gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, and maple syrup.

Then, simply assemble the saucy meat in crispy lettuce cups with your favorite veggies and garnishes. Easy peasy.

Tips About Making Asian-Themed Charcuterie Boards

• You can make the Maki rolls and fresh spring rolls for this Asian-inspired charcuterie board from scratch! Check our simple recipes for these Asian faves below. 
• Get creative when arranging your Asian charcuterie board! You can start with the items you want to become the focal point, then fill the gaps with bowls of dips, colorful veggies, Asian snacks, or even fresh fruits. 
• Want to add sushi rolls to your Asian snack board? Serve a few at a time since they should only sit out for 1 to 2 hours. You can just refill the board throughout the party. 

How to Store This Asian-Style Charcuterie Board

• Fridge: You can make this Asian charcuterie board a day ahead. Separate the components in individual containers and arrange the board an hour before serving. However, storing leftovers for too long might not be a good idea since the snack board was likely sitting out at your event. 
• Freezer: For the best quality and texture, it’s best not to freeze the leftover snacks from this Asian charcuterie board.

How to Make Maki Rolls

Did you know it’s pretty easy to make Maki rolls? You can even modify this quick all-veggie recipe with your favorite fillings!

The main gist is to spread sushi rice over a nori sheet, add the cucumber, carrot, and avocado slices, then roll away.

To serve, slice the roll into individual rolls with a wet knife. But don’t be too hard; gentle pressure is enough for the perfect rolls!

And if you want to make these rolls even easier, use your Instant Pot for the sushi rice! 

How to Make Fresh Spring Rolls

You can opt for fried spring rolls, but fresh spring rolls are simply satisfying and crave-worthy. 

To make them, cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions and rinse with cold water. Then, boil the shrimp until opaque and drain before removing the shell and cutting them lengthwise. 

Here comes the fun part: Submerge a rice paper sheet in water, shake off the excess, and lay it over a damp cloth. 

Arrange the lettuce, noodles, carrots, cabbage, bean sprouts, and roll the paper halfway.

Add the shrimp halves and cilantro along the crease, then continue rolling to finish the spring roll. Continue the process with the rest of the ingredients.

I highly recommend asking your family and friends to help you. Making spring rolls is definitely a bonding activity! ?

What Do You Put on an Asian Charcuterie Board?
