Cooking Supper for You

What most people don't realise is that Sun Jingwei is not, contrary to expectations, a fucking terrible cook. He had survived abroad for a period of time, and there was only so much takeout he could stomach before he finally caved and explored his kitchen. 

(He didn't want to eat in restaurants, because eating alone in a foreign land was a new level of misery for him.)

And he was dreadfully homesick and couldn't stand what passed for 'authentic' Chinese food in America. Panda Express had nearly made him cry, and not from joy.

So he bought a cookbook, watched a few culinary videos, and hunkered down to cook something edible. After weeks of burnt dishes, triggered fire alarms, and a very pissed off fire department with equally pissed off neighbours, he upgraded his dishes from 'dumpster fire' to 'barely passable'.
