Translated text

Recently, Li Ming started learning how to cook. Every evening, he watches a tutorial video and then tries to make the same dish. At first, he always forgot to add salt or used too much water. Later, he gradually learned how to prepare ingredients and control the heat. Now, he can already cook a few simple dishes, like scrambled eggs, fried noodles, and vegetables. His family says he has improved a lot. Last weekend, he even invited his friends over for dinner. Everyone said the food was delicious, and he felt very happy.
