Cassie Yeung likes to think of herself as a chef for the people—no professional culinary training here, just a girl who really loves to cook (and eat, obvi). She believes that the #1 rule in the kitchen is to have fun, let loose, and cook the way you want to. For Cassie, that means yelling “behind!” in her own kitchen, softening butter against her skin, and showing off her baddie nails as she pleats dumplings like a boss.

In Bad Bitch in the Kitch, Cassie serves up the food she loves most: the Asian dishes she grew up eating and now craves on the regular. So many people know and love Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, and Singaporean cuisine, but they don’t always know how easy it can be to recreate their favorite dishes at home. Cassie shares some of her go-to dishes, dialed in for home cooks, in chapters such as:

First Bite Besties: Crab Rangoons, Siu Mai (Steamed Pork and Prawn Dumplings), Spam Musubi
Noodz: Scallion Oil Noodles, Pad See Ew, Spicy Miso Instant Ramen
Skip the Takeout: Sweet & Sour Pork, 30 Minute Beef + Broccoli, Chicken Katsu Curry
Not Too Sweet: Lazy Girl Mango Sticky Rice, Brown Butter Matcha Cheesecake, Vietnamese Coffee Tiramisu
Whole Lotta Basics: Hand Pulled Noodles, Ginger Scallion Sauce, Peanut Dipping Sauce

Not only can you save money by skipping takeout, but everything tastes better homemade, too. With Bad Bitch in the Kitch, you can confidently whip up classic noodles, stir fries, and soups whenever the craving strikes.
