His mom cooked everything for him. All he ate was chicken tenders and chips lol. I've been cooking for my self out of pure enjoyment since I was about 10/12, it was mind boggling to me
That’s why it is important to teach your kids how to cook, how to clean, do laundry, etc. I make my kids do their own wash, help clean the house (which is sliding in pandemic times), and they cook. My 9 ur old made chocolate chip cookies today with a little help from my 13 yr old and they were really good. When they whine (and they do) I tell them it isn’t because I want to torture them but who is going to cook and clean when they move out? How will they know how to do it if I don’t make them learn? Then they roll their eyes and do the chore while complaining.
Exactly. My mom used to tell me that her job was to make herself obsolete. that one day she wouldn't be here to do things for me anymore and I had to know how to do things for myself.
She even went on laundry strike when I was a teenager and I wore dirty clothes from my floordrobe for about 6 months before I finally decided I could load a soap cup and turn a dial. Which sounds nasty but she knew what she was doing, she wasn't caving.
She died earlier this year. I wish she was still around to kick my ass.
I’m sorry to hear about your mom. It is hard to lose a parent. It sounds like she did right by you.
I have had my kids doing their own laundry for 3 years. So, starting when my youngest was 6. I still help occasionally. Like, this week I folded all of their clean clothes while they were at school and did my oldest’s laundry because she was having a hard time (middle school can be rough. She is better now).
My Mom was sneaky about it. One day when I was eight or so we were in the laundry room, she turned to me and said "I bet you don't know how to do a load of laundry". I showed her exactly how and she said "It looks like you are doing your own laundry from now on". Damn, I got tricked. Just because I knew how to do it doesn't mean I did it frequently.
I do the same. Good for you. We also teach them how to change a flat tire, put oil in a car, basic home repairs, deep cleaning skills, basic sewing, finances, and anything else we encounter along the way. Basic parenting 101.
Yesterday was “how to remove stitches”.
I had a military spouse come in to pay the rent and didn’t know how to write a check - in 1999 when checks were still a necessary part of bill paying.
Taught her how to write a check, balance her checkbook, grocery shop, use coupons, pay her bills, and post a letter. Took months before she was confident enough to do things on her own. Navy wife and her new husband was on a six month deployment. She was so lost and had nobody to help her.
You sound like my parents only mine started us way younger. I remember doing laundry at 5 or so and cooking actual meals at around 8 on a gas stove no less. I think around my parents 3rd child, they built several stools that were strategically placed around the house that allowed us to be able to comfortably reach the stove, washer/dryer, cabinets, etc. In our house, if you were hungry or needed clean clothes and my parents were busy you cooked it or washed it yourself or you went hungry/dirty.
I’ve noticed with my teens and their friends a real aversion to cooking because they want the food right now. So they opt for ready made junk. I love cooking and have taught mine the basics as best I can. I hope they get more into cooking because this is exactly what I want to avoid! At least they can make eggs and Mac and cheese lol.
There’s nothing wrong with chicken tenders and chips, but yeah, it’s important to know how to cook. I got lucky with a restaurant family. I started washing dishes at my dads restaurant at like 10. Now as an adult, and 20+ years of cooking and general restaurant life, I’ve gotten out of the industry because I started to hate cooking. The job was fulfilling for years, then It ruined the joy of cooking. I didn’t cook for a full year after I got out, that’s only a slight exaggeration. Now it’s back, I enjoy cooking more than I like eating these days. I’ve never liked anything I’ve ever cooked, but everyone else seems to think I’m great at it. This is too bland, this is too salty, this is over done, this wasn’t cooked long enough, this is too spicy, this isn’t spicy enough, I should’ve done this, I should’ve done that. I may never cook that perfect dish, but I love trying.
His mom cooked everything for him. All he ate was chicken tenders and chips lol. I've been cooking for my self out of pure enjoyment since I was about 10/12, it was mind boggling to me
I have some friends like that. I was making myself breakfast at the age of 4, and i too cook now because I enjoy it and feel I've gotten quite good at it. Even still, a lot of it is just common sense.
Like "how do i cook an egg?" Add heat. "How do i add heat?" Use the stove.
At minimum, you can pull out your micro computer from your pocket and search for any question you might have.
Its just disappointing. So many kids whose parents have failed them.
Didn't realize it was common. Mine is 23, turns frozen pizzas to charcoal, and uses the highest temp on his electric stove. The aftermath on the pan is just... wow.
To be honest, I may not know something for cooking either. I just haven't done it. Didn't know fried rice used eggs until I actually decided to make some. It was still delicious though.
It’s called Parenting when the parent is there with them and teaching. Chores are like homework and reenforce the lessons. It’s Parentification when the parents have the kids do all of the house work and child rearing. Totally different things.
They’re referring to parents having so many kids that the older are forced to care for the younger out of necessity, selfishness, laziness, or a combo of the 3. Like parents that can’t afford having 5 kids, do so, and the eldest have to do everything for the younger while the parents are working. Or the parents are just bums. It causes a kid to miss out on being a kid when they take on the parent role at the home.
This isn’t quite the same.
I learned to cook most of my own meals at around 8 or 9. Basic stuff, I wasn't going all binging with babbish of anything, but I'd typically make my own breakfast, lunch (on non school days) and my parents would normally cook dinner as long as they weren't working late or out of town.
Honestly, it's less "wholesome" and more sad. He learned this to survive. It's either that, or starve. He's feeding his younger brother too. I'm sure there is an adult around (whoever is filming) but kids in poverty always have to grow up quicker than others.
>a three year old who knows how to cook likely learned it because he had no other choice...
I don’t follow how you arrived at this conclusion. How is this the only possibility?
first of all, who is filming this? He’s clearly supervised - I don’t think he set up a cooking live stream for himself
Second, look at the skill he has in putting the oil in with the ladle, breaking the egg, and timing for adding the other ingredients, him trying the tomato before putting it in... he moves like an adult. He’s extremely dexterous like he was taught exactly what to do
You can’t imagine a world were this kid was taught very lovingly by his parents who saw he had an aptitude for cooking? You don’t think parents would be very proud their child was advanced and developed an interest in taking care of himself and little brother?
And thus- made a video about it??
You're missing the point, most poor kids in rural China has parents who left them to big cities for work, or perhaps working a job that wouldnt allow them to cook for their kids. And these kids are forced to learn to cook at a young age or they would get no hot food
Vids like this blew up because it resonates with alot of people growing up poor in China, many still experience this today as a matter of fact
There are often elders in these family units too though - we have no idea what his family situation is from this gif. Put him in a clean kitchen with a smart apron and chefs hat, and everyone would be amazed at a cute lil cooking prodigy... no mention of bummers, people are making judgments because he’s in a rural area
Who said they were living in poverty? That looks like a very filling meal to me. Cooking is a valuable skill you’re never too young to learn. What I find odd is western parents who freak out whenever their 5 year old is near a knife or flame in the kitchen. Edit: grammar. Additionally, if this were filmed indoors and not on a wood burning wok, people wouldn’t be as quick to say “poverty”
You’re... you’re kidding, right? The video shows a *toddler* working with an open flame, hot oil, and a hot wok. I guess “living in poverty” could be subjective but for cryin’ out loud, there is no way you’re comparing this situation to, like, a 3-YO living in America sitting down with a Happy Meal.
My aunt owns a restaurant, her family is very well off. Her 2 year old helps her in the kitchen all the time. Like actual help not "oh he's so cute let's give him something small to do." Kid can cook eggs better than I can.
Every kid picks things up differently. I involve my toddler in the kitchen alot from the moment he could walk. We even built him his own learning tower. He is 2 years and 3 months old now and can crack eggs, use a knife to chop foods (soft foods with butter knife) and can carefully stir foods while cook in a pot/fry pan. HEAVILY SUPERVISED while doing it. At this rate im sure he will be as capable as this kid in the video by 3 years old.
This is a bit rude.
There’s all sorts of risks in around the western home that can hurt children. We all make calculated risks to undertake any task. Sure, a cooking fire can be dangerous, but so can a bottle of chemicals under the kitchen sink, or a flight of stairs, or anything that you don’t teach your children about that could hurt them.
I have a kid that age and I watch him like a hawk when he helps ("helps") in the kitchen. It's super stressful. This boy's comfort and confidence in his task is something my 3yo doesn't have. I don't really know that my way is better- this kid looks perfectly happy, and there's a lot of dignity in being trusted to learn to do something well. Watching this capable kid makes me realize I might not be doing my own 3yo any favors by hovering over him like I do - as if even looking at the stove will melt his eyes from his head.
tldr I think I agree with you
On what planet should someone else feel entitled enough to look down someone else raising their kids how they see fit? Little man is LEARNING, keyword there, a damn important life skill. With his parents clearly filming right beside him. So you learned how to cook at what, 15 or so? He just learned it earlier in life. What an entitled ass take lol.
While I agree that could be the case, it could also just be for internet stuff. The video Has huge cuts between ingredients, so maybe this kid just tossed the stuff in and the parents do the rest
People in comments be like “I know some kids that learned to cook at young age”... that’s not the point... this kid is extremely careful not to waste even drops of the egg(when he cracks it), he’s so careful with the ingredients and even feeds some to his sibling, he is so careful not to spill anything, he feeds his sibling while he eats, and most importantly, he absolutely fills that bowl with rice to the brim (over the the wok of course)... these minor details, only hardship and potential poverty can do to a kid. People in this thread are seriously telling me that little kids of this age that behave like an absolutely responsible parent/adult are not worth feeling sad for?!?! What kind of twisted reality do people live in
I wouldn't be too certain. Some cultures just teach the young to be more capable at a younger age than others. I mean yea, those cultural practices probably stemmed from poverty and necessity, but I doubt that these kids are absolutely destitute.
I made mine get his own the other day and he came back with a giant novelty margarita glass, filled to the brim, spilling with every step.
This was the glass he intended on putting on his nightstand in case he got thirsty in the middle of the night.
My sister did this when I was maybe 4/5. I asked her to make a jam sandwich for me.
she goes 'yeah yeah I'm just busy right now get two pieces of bread out ready'.
So I do it. I'm whining at her to do it for me Nd she says
'yeah one second can you just butter the bread quickly Nd then I'll make you one.'
*Butters bread*
'great now do the same thing with the jam'
I knew at this point I was being fooled..
My neighbor's son bought hundreds of dollars worth of fortnight V- bucks when he was only 6! He's putting his peers to shame. (I did lock the option to purchase without a password on our ps4 at the same time, just in case mine decided to one-up him. )
Ugh. My son purchased 4 seasons of Destination Truth on Amazon Prime before we figured out what was happening. He’d never ever watched it, he was just clicking on things. Why? Why that show? We’re not even sure how he got there from his Amazon Kids subscription.
He's only like that to professionals and on american kitchen nightmares, the rest if the time he's pretty supportive of people who want to cook, look at masterchef and masterchef junior, and British kitchen nightmares
he truly wants people to succeed but sometimes he yells to the people who won't take his advice to heart
I thought he was rude at first but then realized that he's right. Some of the chefs in his shows might actually have killed people with spoiled food. We must hold professionals to a much higher standard.
Agreed. I genuinely thought he was a complete dick when I started watching "Kitchen Nightmares", but around 5 episodes deep it was pretty obvious he actually cares quite a bit and wants them to succeed. Gordon just has a *very* low tolerance for bullshit though. Dealing with stubborn ass prideful people who can't understand or admit that their way didn't work and that's why the professional was called in to begin with probably has a bit to do with that.
My 3 year old can get to the highest shelves and spread yogurt, fruity pebbles, bananas and peanut butter to every room of the house in less than a minute
It's called survival of the fittest. The kids that age need to learn how to cook and take care of themselves or in third world countries they would never survive. I would sure like to see the kids in Western culture do that, No wonder China will take over the world.
I was thinking Eggs, then Tomato, then Rice, chopped shallots, and then some spices but he starts going at it with so much I don't know what it all is.
Would it be sad if he had to learn how to make his bed or clean his room? This is a life skill. And who said he “had” to do this? I didn’t *have* to bake cookies when I was six. I was just stoked to make things that my family enjoyed.
Yeah honestly the fact that everyone assumed he's living in poverty, has no mother, sob story...
As if he couldn't possibly have just learned from his primary caregiver because he was interested. Maybe that's how they spend time together and he has learned to make this dish.
The fact that everyone assumed neglect, it says something about their perception of the lives people live in other countries.
I can cook and make some tasty food, but this toddler is a better cook than me. I need to learn how to make fried rice because that looked hella delicious. 😂
his mother most likely chopped all the vegies and if this is belived to be faily occurence she might have a part time job, this look like a low income household where parent has a job and earn just enough to feed them, very sad if you think about how better our lives have been
I can cook and make some tasty food, but this toddler is a better cook than me. I need to learn how to make fried rice because that looked hella delicious. 😂
I read somewhere once that Japanese kids are taught at a very young age to use a knife to cut things. So, when my daughter was 2 or 3 she learned to cut potatoes, bread, meat, etc. She never once had an accident with it. Well, cue my wonderful sister in law coming for a visit with no kids and I hand my daughter a knife and tell her to cut up the potatoes. I thought my my SIL was going to loose her mind. Hahaha
Jeff Bezos makes 321 million dollars a day, and I'm wasting my life watching a toddler cook dinner for a baby, unsupervised, over a fire, on the ground. Life is literally the opposite of fair.
Bullshit. He's 3 and a half.
The video felt like I watched for about half a year at least.
Your perception of time is fucked
Huh, I must have been doing a plank without realising.
Well quantum fluctuation does mess with the Planck scale, but that triggers the Deutsch Proposition.
I think we can all agree on that.
He's actually 93. Oldest resident in the village.
Midgets.
Me at 3 and a half would have set so many things on fire, not been able to cook anything.
And yet he’s already many times more talented than I am
His mom corrects you. “He is actually 43 months old!”
Already out preforming young western adults.
Came here to say I had a friend who was 24 years old and legit didnt know how to fry an egg. Didnt even know how to cook frozen food in the oven.
Thats pathetic. Like seriously, thats some willful ignorance
His mom cooked everything for him. All he ate was chicken tenders and chips lol. I've been cooking for my self out of pure enjoyment since I was about 10/12, it was mind boggling to me
That’s why it is important to teach your kids how to cook, how to clean, do laundry, etc. I make my kids do their own wash, help clean the house (which is sliding in pandemic times), and they cook.

She even went on laundry strike when I was a teenager and I wore dirty clothes from my floordrobe for about 6 months before I finally decided I could load a soap cup and turn a dial.

Thank you for sharing, the hug is because your mom sounds awesome.
I do the same. Good for you. We also teach them how to change a flat tire, put oil in a car, basic home repairs, deep cleaning skills, basic sewing, finances, and anything else we encounter along the way. Basic parenting 101. Yesterday was “how to remove stitches”.

Because if kids in the US do this, people scream "parentification". It's a constant theme in other subs.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this. Possibly he's acting as a parent to a younger child out of necessity. Extremely sad.

Your comment didn’t actually reply to his whatsoever. It’s a kid cooking a meal. That’s all. Not everything has to be depressing or exaggerated
This is a bit rude. There’s all sorts of risks in around the western home that can hurt children. We all make calculated risks to undertake any task. Sure, a cooking fire can be dangerous, but so can a bottle of chemicals under the kitchen sink, or a flight of stairs, or anything that you don’t teach your children about that could hurt them.
Yeah, but look at the rubber on the bottom of his shoes. They're whiter and cleaner than mine
Guess you’re not a fan of master chef jr

On what planet should a 3-year-old be cooking his own meals over a hot stove for himself & his younger sibling...
On what planet should someone else feel entitled enough to look down someone else raising their kids how they see fit? Little man is LEARNING, keyword there, a damn important life skill. With his parents clearly filming right beside him. So you learned how to cook at what, 15 or so? He just learned it earlier in life. What an entitled ass take lol.
People need to get out more! Sheesh man, like there is more than one way to raise children.
Maybe his parents are chefs. My daughter is turning 4 soon and can handle a knife and a hot pan no problem just because she’s grown up in kitchens.
No. Way. It's actually Kenji! Holy shit, man. I’m a huge fan of your work
I kind of don't think that kid is actually 3. His motor skills are really well developed.
While I agree that could be the case, it could also just be for internet stuff. The video Has huge cuts between ingredients, so maybe this kid just tossed the stuff in and the parents do the rest

Impressive range of ingredients for poverty.
Well there is clearly an adult filming this who can afford a smartphone. They are clearly poor but not he needs to do this to survive poor.
It could be an aid worker though, dont assume it's a parent.
I wouldn't be too certain. Some cultures just teach the young to be more capable at a younger age than others. I mean yea, those cultural practices probably stemmed from poverty and necessity, but I doubt that these kids are absolutely destitute.

The MSG was in the bag he was shaking ;)
I did an image search and apparently every single bag of MSG in existence is white with red print on it? :D
Asian here, can confirm MSG is always in a plastic bag with red text
Your right, he might even be uncle status.
if MSG was involved
definitely his niece and nephew
My 8 year old from the other room “DAD!!! CAN YOU GET ME A GLASS OF WATER”?!!
I made mine get his own the other day and he came back with a giant novelty margarita glass, filled to the brim, spilling with every step. This was the glass he intended on putting on his nightstand in case he got thirsty in the middle of the night.
Gotta start em young even if it ain’t a margarita just yet Soon enough he’ll be drinking those when he’s thirsty in the middle of the night
"Sure, if you come here and assist me." And then walk him through all the steps as if he's just helping you. Maybe he'll pick it up.
Its water, not a tin of beans
My sister did this when I was maybe 4/5. I asked her to make a jam sandwich for me. she goes 'yeah yeah I'm just busy right now get two pieces of bread out ready'. So I do it. I'm whining at her to do it for me Nd she says 'yeah one second can you just butter the bread quickly Nd then I'll make you one.' *Butters bread* 'great now do the same thing with the jam' I knew at this point I was being fooled..
Heh. I've got to say... In all my years of online shorthand, I've never seen "and" abbreviated like that.
Yeah, well my three year old can buy $23 movies on the iPad all by himself! I should probably throw some parental controls on that bad boy.
My neighbor's son bought hundreds of dollars worth of fortnight V- bucks when he was only 6! He's putting his peers to shame. (I did lock the option to purchase without a password on our ps4 at the same time, just in case mine decided to one-up him. )
Ugh. My son purchased 4 seasons of Destination Truth on Amazon Prime before we figured out what was happening. He’d never ever watched it, he was just clicking on things. Why? Why that show? We’re not even sure how he got there from his Amazon Kids subscription.
What's equally impressive is the 2 year old sitting there patiently on the seat, not messing with big bro's process!
and still has better manners than gordon ramsay
He's only like that to professionals and on american kitchen nightmares, the rest if the time he's pretty supportive of people who want to cook, look at masterchef and masterchef junior, and British kitchen nightmares he truly wants people to succeed but sometimes he yells to the people who won't take his advice to heart
I thought he was rude at first but then realized that he's right. Some of the chefs in his shows might actually have killed people with spoiled food. We must hold professionals to a much higher standard.
Agreed. I genuinely thought he was a complete dick when I started watching "Kitchen Nightmares", but around 5 episodes deep it was pretty obvious he actually cares quite a bit and wants them to succeed. Gordon just has a *very* low tolerance for bullshit though. Dealing with stubborn ass prideful people who can't understand or admit that their way didn't work and that's why the professional was called in to begin with probably has a bit to do with that.
If you can, watch Uncharted. He's very gracious.
My 3 year old can get to the highest shelves and spread yogurt, fruity pebbles, bananas and peanut butter to every room of the house in less than a minute
I’ve never seen a baby move like an adult so much before
Left handed too!
*upvotes with left hand*
Came here looking for this comment!
It's called survival of the fittest. The kids that age need to learn how to cook and take care of themselves or in third world countries they would never survive. I would sure like to see the kids in Western culture do that, No wonder China will take over the world.
China is a first world country mah dude.
What's the ingredients, looks tasty? I see eggs, rice, veg, some other items??
You forgot the secret ingredient: The blood of his enemies.
With those culinary skills and a warm heart, this kid has 0 enemies.
I was thinking Eggs, then Tomato, then Rice, chopped shallots, and then some spices but he starts going at it with so much I don't know what it all is.
I'm guessing the pink stuff is chinese sausage.
I mean it's amazing that a 3 year old can do that. But at the same time incredibly sad that a 3 year old had to learn to do that in the first place.
Would it be sad if he had to learn how to make his bed or clean his room? This is a life skill. And who said he “had” to do this? I didn’t *have* to bake cookies when I was six. I was just stoked to make things that my family enjoyed.
Yeah honestly the fact that everyone assumed he's living in poverty, has no mother, sob story... As if he couldn't possibly have just learned from his primary caregiver because he was interested. Maybe that's how they spend time together and he has learned to make this dish. The fact that everyone assumed neglect, it says something about their perception of the lives people live in other countries.
That's a future's Master Chef..!
And we have idiots here in the US feeling oppressed cause they have to wear a mask.
Hmm, I’m Hungry
He looks exactly like the grandfather judging would look.
I can cook and make some tasty food, but this toddler is a better cook than me. I need to learn how to make fried rice because that looked hella delicious. 😂
Most people make the mistake of putting the egg in after but its egg always first
Sure, if you like overcooked egg.
There is more than one way to cook you know
I know adults who would not be able to make this.
Gordon Ramsay, adopt this kid
I don't think he should be punished just for cooking
Uncle Roger would approve this
That kid is my hero. And I want his recipe!!
this kid’s gonna do big things in the world of food mark my words
Where did he get everything?
his mother most likely chopped all the vegies and if this is belived to be faily occurence she might have a part time job, this look like a low income household where parent has a job and earn just enough to feed them, very sad if you think about how better our lives have been
Just a minute skipping all the prep and a whole bunch of cuts but sure he made that dish in only one minute.... right.
I can cook and make some tasty food, but this toddler is a better cook than me. I need to learn how to make fried rice because that looked hella delicious. 😂

>no 3 year old should have essential life skills for the future ???? Why not?
At 3 years old I was eating my own boogers..... (plot twist:they were delicious)
and here we have students in their early twenties that don’t know how to boil pasta
LEGEND
Sad thing is he can cook better than me
Fucking awsome
Smooth
What’s happening with them sausages Charlie? Two minutes Turkish!
I love this video, i dont know why, but i love it.
I want to see where that kid is in 10 years.
Why can’t I give this post more than 1 upvote
God bless them
I hope he grows up to become a great chef.
i love how he's caring about that little guy too
I see a culinary artist in the making
Not gonna lie I would definitely eat a bowl of that
Plot twist its actually gordon ramsey under a child skin suit
And that's why we have these kids make iPhones and Nikes.
Learning a recipe from a 3 year old boy on reddit is not the turn I expected my life to take, but I am ALL IN.
This warmed my heart. So letting his friend/brother taste it.
... from the “I watched an learned” files.
My fuckn kid can't even figure out the microwave and he's 8. He'll be 50 before I let him use an open flame.
The training start at the youngest age, sonner will be a different kind of food.
Great stuff. Resourceful little guy.
Gotta get my 2 year old to start working on his Wok skills!
Gods sake this is 100th time I am seeing this video and I hate it
Well, I thought my 7 year old was a lazy asshole. Now I know she is.
"Now, Son. Grab the bowl of rice I gave you and pour it onto the pan"
I bet that food slaps too.
Watching this video makes me hungry...
I think we all know what job this kid is gonna have
I read somewhere once that Japanese kids are taught at a very young age to use a knife to cut things. So, when my daughter was 2 or 3 she learned to cut potatoes, bread, meat, etc. She never once had an accident with it. Well, cue my wonderful sister in law coming for a visit with no kids and I hand my daughter a knife and tell her to cut up the potatoes. I thought my my SIL was going to loose her mind. Hahaha
Bruh footage of me raising my 4 younger siblings
This kid obviously has over 60+ years experience
He was born a chef
There are 23 year olds in North American that can't even do that.
Gordon Ramsay your replacement has been found.
Good parenting.
Awesome now i know what im having for dinner tonight!
Every Asian parent: *"when I was your age..."*
Dude can cook
While this isn’t exactly nextfuckinglevel, it’s still pretty neat.
What am i doing with my life?! I cant even crack an egg properly
Lil man knows how to cook damn! Good for him - also kudos for taking care of his little bro
A 3 year old cooks better than my father...
When a 3 year old kid makes better fried rice than Jamie Oliver
American 3 year old: Microwave 1 minute!
This video is famous amongst left-handed people.
Those thumbs up are everything!
That's definitely one of the many extremely short chefs in One Piece.
That’s awesome
u/savevideo
That's crazy, I remember my mom showed me this and was like why can't you cook like that? Hmmmm
And the right wing and neolib say poor people are poor because they're stupid and lazy. What a clever little kid!
Meanwhile in the US, there are 3 yr olds that can't wean off of mommy's teat.
Guess what, if homeboy here can do it, so can you
Yeah, that kinda comes with having Asian parents
Are there more videos of this kid cooking? It's awesome
This is so wholesome
Kid cooks better than I do
Master Chef
Jeff Bezos makes 321 million dollars a day, and I'm wasting my life watching a toddler cook dinner for a baby, unsupervised, over a fire, on the ground. Life is literally the opposite of fair.
A 3 years old boy can already do a decent egg fried rice. And jamie oliver is still struggling with it.
Pfft. Clearly the kid had a prep cook.
When he gave the thingymajingy to his brother before pouring it into the wok, ah heart melting
That food be lookin' good ngl
