Love this one, sometimes when pressed for time we use a packet or ready made rice instead of the noodles

6yo and 10yo both approved! (And the 6yo is hard to impress). Have you thought about adding your videos to YouTube to increase your profits (selfishly I just want to be able to watch you instead of Aphmau)?
