[@samanthametcalf9620]

Sarah is so sweet to her little sister

[@ArleneSibert]

OMG Rebekah has to be the MOST adorable little peanut in the whole world and I just love how Sarah talks with her, I can see she is going to be one heck of a Mamma some day, just like HER Mama is !❣

[@Traveler-nu8xc]

Sarah is so patient teaching her baby sister. 💕

[@kristenbetthel1072]

David is so clever 😊

[@judibrommer7569]

I enjoy watching your videos so much y'all as parents have just raised the nicest and cutest kids

[@currybase]

What a wonderful gift from Miss Christa! You all had fun and laughs making the feast and eating it.

[@margaretfiggs2606]

It was so. nice to see all the children trying to use the chop sticks and actually enjoying the new food from another country. Nice video

[@britflip]

Love that you picked out recipes that use products you already have. That helps show how much more alike we are to others around the world. Super cool 😎

[@debbierowe5891]

I think it is wonderful to immerse yourselves into other cultures while you learn the different cultures. Children are so enriched in knowledge when it includes hands on, just like learning on the homestead. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Debbie, we had such a good time learning about China's culture and food traditions. I agree that this is a really good way for my children to learn about other areas of the world. :)

[@BeverlySmithJohnson]

We had chicken fried rice tonight. It was yummy❣️

[@juliedidlinger6638]

What a FUNvideo!!!

[@HeyItsJamiLee]

This was so much fun. Thank you for sharing 💛

[@PollyAlice2000]

Oops! I’m late to comment! It’s just delighted that a California friend sent you some wonderful Chinese items with decorations and recipes and books and treats! We have a large Chinese American community here, and in many areas, including ours, we are invited to parades and dinners and it is wonderful! I really love won ton soup, and crispy duck, but I have yet to try to cook those things at home. Each January, our Chinese Ametican friend Tony gives us one of those beautiful red and gold envelopes with a dollar inside to wish us prosperity throughout the year! I keep them in my desk, and they always make me smile!

[@kathysorensen798]

Looks so yummy. Your children are so good at eating a wide variety of foods! Sara u are a keeper! So sweet!😊😊

[@lindapeterson7166]

Hi Janice & family,such a nice video.The kids just make me smile.I wish all kids had a happy loving family like yours Janice.❤

[@GypsyDiamond]

[@SISSY4175]

[@karynsweitzer295]

I’ve been to China and Japan they are so amazing it’s wonderful to teach your children different cultures. I am Italian and have been lucky to have visited Italy 10 times it’s a beautiful country and I’ve learned so much from different people all over the world. I was very lucky in my lifetime to have😅Been able to visit many many countries. Teach your children about different cultures and shows them this is a big big big world. You have a beautiful family God bless you and your lovely lovely family Jesus blessed you sweetheart you are a millionaire he gifted you with beautiful precious children and gifted them With a marvelous mother.

[@jacquethirlkel3001]

What a wonderful way to Learn about other cultures! I enjoy all your videos. God bless!

[@COWELLGIRL]

Such a great educational and ethnic feast , also sis , you're not suppose to put the thin plastic vinegar or water bottles straight on the concrete, it will eat thru , have the boys put some cardboard down first , 😊, just trying to save your wonderful investment

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

I really do appreciate the tip! We'll be sure to fix that up! :)

[@maryarcher8484]

​@@ozarkfamilyhomesteadif it was glass bottles would be ok, something about the plastic touching the concrete. Love you guy's!

[@voicereason3380]

Interesting. Thanks @cowellgirl for the tip for our fam too. Never heard of this.

[@debrasnipes7431]

@@ozarkfamilyhomesteadThe temperature of concrete changes with the weather and constantly gives off moisture accordingly, for years. It’s the moisture from the concrete that has the potential to contaminate the contents of the containers, ESPECIALLY water. Water that is put away for long-term storage should never be placed directly on concrete, there needs to be some type of barrier. Anything that isn’t in glass containers and is in plastic, should be in HDPE plastic containers, which most food safe plastics are. Light, heat, and moisture are not good environments for long-term storage of consumables. (We’ve got a health inspector in the family.) ❤

[@suz1017]

All of the food looked very appetising especially the soup.❤❤❤

[@jojo-tz2ym]

Such a fun thing to do with your kids. Loved it

[@dilligaf3202]

All of your kids are great, but I think Sarah is so mature and nurturing and kind with all of her siblings. She is a tremendous help in cooking and gardening, too. I am sure she will be extremely successful in all of her life journeys. You are so Blessed to have her, as as well all of your children.

[@joannemathews8394]

[@peytonsassafrass2207]

Love this! I just got home from a 3 wk vacation to Japan, I'm catching up on so many videos! Thr foid was amazing I had to buy a sushi maker because we live sushi! I brought home many non perishable foods. Once I get over jet lag , I will be cooking Japanese dishes.

[@veronica1863]

I enjoyed this video, you see you all learn about a different culture and cook a meal from that culture is cool! My husband and I love Chinese food. I use a fork I don’t do well with chop sticks . Would be a great learning experience for all to maybe pick another country etc maybe once a month to learn about and cook a popular dish

[@mellisadickerson733]

I loved this dinner

[@lynnechilton5794]

Just love this fun dinner🎉A quick tip for you My Chinese colleagues taught me when making fried rice , cook rice day before place on tray with absorbent paper and fridge overnight , gives you best rice ❤😊

[@tammysarrazin-ux9tv]

you can buy chop sticks that are attached together to train you how to use it properly hugssss

[@beverlywhite9160]

What wonderful kids and family you have! Just imagine how wonderful this world would be if we all raised our kids with so much faith and so many skills. You are a blessed mama and your kids are blessed to have this life

[@kristaclark4950]

I loved that video! I love them all but this one was super special, I think. Andrew really made me laugh, Sarah also. I just love your family! It truly makes my day when I watch you all. I really like Chinese food. Wish I could have been there to eat it with you . Sarah is going to make a man very happy one day when she gets married. She's a wonderful cook/baker. She's going to be a great mama too. 😊❤

[@dorischaron1887]

Sarah that looks very good, I love Chinese food. The little girl's dress with the chickens on it is so cute. Have a blessed day.

[@SaltwaterRebellion]

This was a hoot to watch! Loved seeing you all enjoy that feast you made! Thank you for sharing ❤ God Bless

[@MoniqueAO888]

Actually in china, Korea and Japan the rice is served in individual bowls and only the dishes are displayed on plates. So in china everybody takes a piece or a spoonful of the dish to his own rice-bowl and enjoys it with the rice. And rice is so much easier to eat out of a bowl because the side of the bowl is used as a barrier and you kind of push the rice with the chop-sticks against it and lift the 'bite' to your mouth !!! It's also common to raise the bowl right under your mouth...so eating with chop-sticks can be quite 'speedy'. 🙂 The meal-settings in Korea and Japan are a bit different. In Thailand and India there is another way of handling rice-dishes. Thai use spoon + fork and in indian restaurants + families fork and knife are used. But traditional indian meals require you to gather food-items and rice with your fingers and lift them to your mouth. It's not difficult: just put your fingers together, use them as a shovel and then use your thumb to slide the 'bite' into your mouth - that would be real fun for kids. 😀

[@sandrabrentlinger7213]

Hi Janice and Shawn and everyone. I think Nee-how means hello or thank you or yes in Chinese? I learned that from watching the "Little Couple"on TV when they adopted their son from China. It's a sign of respect when you slurp the soup broth and burp in their culture.Lyatt Sandee from Ohio .💜💜🙏🤟😊

[@leannekenyoung]

This is awesome I used to do “theme” dinner with my daughters too. They used to love that. The other thing we would do is when at the grocery store I would allow the girl to each pick a fruit or a vegetable that they never had and they would have to come up with a recipe or a way to enjoy eating it. They taught me a lot as well. I learned what ugli fruit is and it a real thing. God bless and I hope enjoy your meal!! ❤️🥰🇨🇦🙏🏻🍁❤️

[@debrasnipes7431]

The food looked yummy! What a fun evening! I’ve never mastered the art of using chopsticks, but I like to use them because they force me to slow down. 😄

[@chelym4094]

This was fantastic! What a fabulous, sweet lady to send you some really cool stuff!

[@veronicalillianmoses9571]

Loved this video the food looked delicious.

[@wendyzimmerman6002]

So much fun trying new foods

[@Sealife834]

This was so fun! Sara did a great job cooking. The food looked fantastic. Glad to see you all had a great time ❤

[@helenatkinson4730]

It looks like you had fun making that meal and I had fun watching it. I watch many videos from Asian countries. Evidently when you eat soup you hold the bowl in one hand and eat out of it the solids with a chopstick with the other hand. It is considered very correct to slurp your noodles and your broth.

[@lisaharrigan1370]

That's so Awesome, decorations and all!! I just saw the cupboards in the island, I am so jealous of all the cupboards you have!! I have been weeding through mine to get rid of stuff to make more space but I have 1/3 of the cupboards you have!! Everything looks Delicious!! Rebekah is such a good eater, she likes everything! I'm glad everyone liked it so much! To make it less work you could split that into two separate meals, the Mu Shu chicken and rice and then the soup and onion pancakes. What a fun video to watch!!

[@chrismergener6762]

Very cute and fun video! Food looks really good and the kids had fun with the chopsticks but Shawn didn't seem too happy? Thanks for sharing! 😊

[@tinahiggins5789]

Your video made me smile

[@terrycall8241]

I loved this video. Tell the children I'm in the same boat when it comes to chop sticks. I think I would starve lol.

Awesome!! Love looking at the chore charts for each, according to their ability. That way you don't have to ask them a hundred times a day. Just look at your chart.

[@Fran-z9s]

Goodness Janice..... Your children can use those chopsticks very well, better than me. I've been practicing over and over of trying to use them and I just cannot get it at all... Well done kids

If you ever want some cheap tastes like takeout sweet and sour chicken aldis has the bag of frozen battered chicken served on rice with some brocoli and sweet and sour sauce is great one bag makes enough for 6
