- A woman in China with no cooking experience shares with growing online audience her disastrous culinary efforts
- The amusing videos have been viewed more than 2 million times on Douyin and more than 6 million times on Weibo
A recently married woman in central China has taken mainland social media by storm with humorous videos of her disastrous cooking attempts for her husband.
The highlights of her culinary failures include steamed buns with raw stuffing, ugly and misshapen dumplings, burnt meat pies, and noodles turned black from using too much soy sauce, reported mainland video site Zhengzhou Tong Cheng Shi.
The woman from Henan province, identified as Huamei on Douyin, has been learning to cook for the last 52 days since getting married.
The “surprises” she plates up for her husband on the dining table also include egg fried rice mysteriously mashed into a ball shape and a noodle dish that she set on fire with a cigarette lighter.
In one dish of snail rice noodles, her husband found a metal nail in the bowl. Huamei told him this was because the Chinese name for snail rice noodles contains the characters luo si that has the same pronunciation as the Chinese word for metal nail which she thought was an ingredient.
Huamei said her husband often hesitated when first presented with her visually unappealing dishes.
