A Chinese office lady has risen to internet stardom in China for making viral videos documenting her novel yet bizarre ways of preparing meals at her workplace.

The woman, who goes by “Little Ye in the office” on Chinese microblogging platform Sina Weibo, has been producing videos of her do-it-yourself lunches in the office since January.

In each video, Little Ye improvises her meal preparation equipment using things commonly found around the office.

In one video, she fries a pancake on a computer casing after painstakingly disassembling a CPU and starting her own fire in a basin using scrap wood and a candle.

In another, she prepares hotpot from a water dispensing machine. And in yet another, she makes her own popcorn using a soft drink can and a bunsen burner. She also uses a clothes iron to grill strips of beef on her office desk in another video.

In the meantime, her colleagues seated around the office near her, appear totally oblivious or nonchalant towards her antics.
