Love to cook Asian food at home? Us too! And Cook Snap Win is our annual contest to celebrate your talents and specialties. This year, our two Grand Prize winners will get to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime culinary adventure to Japan, the land of rich culture and wondrous delicate flavours. There are also more awesome prizes to be won. Best part? You don’t have to be a master chef to enter and win! All you need is your ingenuity, a little patience, and some easy kitchen ‘hacks’.
Asian food has a massive variety of snacks, main dishes and desserts. Great for different occasions, meal-types and dietary preferences. For Cook Snap Win, we’ve recognized three general themes for you to choose that fits your winning dish.
Home-cooked meals are essential bonding moments for every family. Smart kitchen habits and Asian cooking methods can help you make fast yet flavoursome dishes, even on busy workdays. If quick and yummy delights are your forte, then this is your theme to shine. Cook up your Asian-inspired special in under 20 minutes, and submit your recipe to win.
Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or just a veggie-lover, this is the theme for you. Fruits and veggies have long been a major part of many Asian cuisines, thanks to their agrarian histories and cultural beliefs. Meat-free dishes and vegetarian delights are a common enjoyment. And not just salads, but even stir-fries, barbies, curries, soups and more, can be plant-based or meat-free, and still pack amazing flavours. So whip up your best Meat-Free Marvel dish for your chance to win.
Combining rich ingredients, textures, and flavours in one dish is also a hallmark of Asian cooking. Carbs, proteins, and veggies all in a sumptuous bowl that thrills your taste buds and satisfies your belly. Got an Asian-inspired special that fits the description? Cook up your One Bowl Wonder and submit to win.
Asian cuisines have unique ‘philosophies’. Chinese and Korean cooking accentuates the natural flavours of ingredients. The Japanese strive to achieve rich umami tastes. Thai cooking balances amazing spices and thrilling flavours. Vietnamese food delights soothe and pleasures. Plus many more enriching methods that culminate to the most satisfying taste, smell and mouth-feel of every Asian dish. Go authentic, mix it up, or experiment to bring out these core elements in your Asian-inspired dish, and you’re sure to impress our judges!

How a dish looks also contributes to its enjoyment. A vibrant, appealing delight can make you salivate and imagine its flavours, even from a photo. So be sure to arrange your winning dish: clean, neat and inviting, with the yummy ingredients visible. Place it in a bright-lit, wholesome setting that doesn’t out-shine or dull your dish’s colours. Remember to include the Cook Snap Win 2021 product tag. And finally, experiment with a few angles to get the photo that truly captures the taste-alluring beauty of your dish.
