About Shuangy’s Kitchensink
Hi, I’m Shuangy!
I’m Shuang Shuang Liang (you can call me Shuangy), a mom of two boys and the cook behind Shuangy’s Kitchensink. I share the Chinese recipes I grew up eating, plus easy Asian-inspired dinners and family-friendly treats for busy weeknights.
I’ve been sharing recipes here since 2017, and I’m so happy you found your way to my kitchen.
From Shenzhen to my first kitchen
I was born in northern China and grew up in Shenzhen. At 17, I moved to the U.S. and finished high school in Florida. Then I headed to the University of Virginia, where I double majored in economics and psychology and later earned a master’s in commerce with a focus on data analytics.
In 2016 I started my career at EY in Charlotte, and my first home kitchen there is where I got hooked on cooking. I spent a lot of nights making lighter versions of the Chinese recipes I grew up with. In 2017 I launched Shuangy’s Kitchensink as a passion project, and eventually I left my corporate job to do this full time.
Where my recipes come from
My family is from northern China, and so many of my recipes start with how my parents cook. My mom has been making pork dumplings for more than 40 years, and my Chinese dumpling recipe is exactly how she does it. When my parents visit, we have dumpling-making parties and fold HUNDREDS at a time. My dad’s Chinese dumpling dipping sauce is the same simple one he made the whole time I was growing up.
From there, I give each recipe my own twist so it works on a busy weeknight. Lots of my recipes are gluten-free or dairy-free, and many use coconut aminos for soy-free kitchens. You can filter by diet anytime in my recipe index.
