Long Day? Cook This.

Written by

Justin Tsang

Who’s the author? Affectionately known as Justin the Dustbin, dynamic chef Justin Tsang can often still be found spinning the woks at his family’s Chinese restaurant in Chelsea. That’s when he’s not inspiring his many Instagram followers or sharing his expertise with popular food collective MOB.

What’s it about? Long Day? Cook This. is Justin’s debut cookbook, in which he draws on this wealth of experience to bring you 100 creative and downright delicious East Asian-inspired recipes. Designed for the home cook, they’re perfect whether you’re looking for a weekend showstopper or simply need to get something super-tasty on the table in under 20 minutes.

After a hard day’s work as a professional chef, these are the dishes that Justin cooks for himself, recipes that draw on the culinary traditions, bold flavours and cooking techniques of China, Korea, Japan and beyond with the addition of his signature twist. The recipes are accessible too, easy to rustle up using ingredients from your local supermarket or Asian food store.

Recipes we love: Crispy Curry Chicken Sando, Burnt Corn Kimchi Fried Rice, Garlic Beef Udon Noodle Soup and Spicy Miso Grilled Cabbage.

Perfect for: Busy home cooks looking for inspiration in the form of easy-to-follow, East Asian-inspired scrumptiousness.
