Kelly Mi Li, the Asian American star of Netflix reality show "Bling Empire", has debuted her weekly unscripted original series, "Stir the Pot", blending her family’s Hot Jiang chili oil and spice powders brand with celebrity guests for Asian-American platforms, GoldenTV and ChimeTV.
The cooking and talk series, announced in October last year, premiered on Friday (7 Feb 2025), Li pushes celebrity guests through five levels of conversational spiciness – from mild and playful to unfiltered and intense.

Guests include Golden Brooks ("Girlfriends"), Jenn Tran ("The Bachelorette"), Gia Kim ("XO"), Richa Moor-jani ("Never Have I Ever"), Sam Song Li ("The Brothers Sun") and recording artist Thuy.
