Your Guide to Asian Stores & Ingredients

Phuong, creator of The Asian Test Kitchen

Hi, I’m Phuong, the creator behind The Asian Test Kitchen. I’m a Vietnamese American home cook and content creator based in Dallas, Texas. I share approachable Asian-inspired recipes, realistic cooking shortcuts, Asian grocery finds, and the stories behind the food I grew up eating.

My goal is to make Asian cooking feel less intimidating and more doable—whether you’re walking into an Asian grocery store for the first time or simply looking for an easier way to get dinner on the table. Here you’ll find Vietnamese favorites, Korean- and Japanese-inspired dishes, and almost-homemade recipes that save time without sacrificing flavor.

Food is how I stay connected to my culture, honor my parents, and create new memories with my own family. I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s make something delicious!
