More and more restaurants and food trucks are drawing inspiration from Asian flavours, blending exotic tastes with familiar, crowd-pleasing snacks.

Holly Powder breading mix makes it easy to prepare perfectly crispy chicken that works brilliantly as the star of Asian-style dishes. Here are some mouth-watering ideas that will delight both street food lovers and fans of fusion cuisine.

Asian-style chicken – oriental comfort food
Why is Asian-style chicken the perfect menu upgrade?
- The irresistible combination of crispy breaded chicken and the bold, intense flavours of Asian cuisine

- A perfect answer to consumers’ desire to explore new flavours while still enjoying familiar, comforting dishes.
Crispy Asian-style chicken can take many forms – from a tasty burger to a hearty main course served with rice or noodles.
Ramen with Holly Powder crispy chicken
Ramen, Japan’s iconic noodle soup, brings together a rich broth, springy noodles and carefully selected toppings to create one aromatic dish. Its flavour relies on an intense stock – often made with pork, chicken or miso – and toppings such as egg, nori, spring onion or bean sprouts. In modern versions, crispy chicken coated in a high-quality breading mix is increasingly popular, adding a Western twist and a surprising crunch.
Bao buns with crispy chicken
Bao buns, the fluffy steamed rolls from Taiwan, have captured the hearts of street food lovers worldwide. Soft, light and pillowy, they provide the perfect base for a variety of fillings. Breaded chicken pairs beautifully with Asian-style vegetables such as coriander, radish, spring onion and pickled cucumber, along with toppings like sesame seeds, yuzu mayo or kimchi. Convenient and visually appealing, they are also perfect for takeaway.
Asian bowl with Korean fried chicken
An Asian bowl with Korean fried chicken is a colourful, modern and hearty dish built on fragrant Japanese rice and a selection of satisfying toppings. Juicy chicken in a golden breading mix, glazed with the signature sweet-and-spicy gochujang sauce, takes centre stage. Holly Powder chicken coating pairs well with different glazes and stays wonderfully crunchy, making it perfect for Korean-style fried chicken. Complete the dish with crunchy vegetables (such as cucumber, carrot, edamame and red cabbage), spicy kimchi and fresh garnishes like coriander or sesame seeds. It’s a dish that satisfies hunger and excites the senses – ideal for lunch or as a filling street food option.
Asian burger with crispy chicken and kimchi
The Asian burger with crispy chicken and kimchi is a bold fusion of classic street food and a Korean twist. A golden, crispy chicken strip coated in Holly Powder breading, paired with kimchi – fermented cabbage with a deep, slightly spicy flavour – creates a burger full of contrasts: crunchy yet juicy, spicy yet creamy, familiar yet distinctly Asian. The flavour is perfectly rounded off with wasabi mayo or a sesame dressing, along with fresh vegetables, sprouts and mung beans.
