Cooking Genius With God

The vegetables, which were cut hard, were also stir-fried on a heavy pan.

Even boil the noodles again, rinse them in cold water, make marinade and mix them...….

Japchae was not a special dish eaten only on birthdays for no reason.

Anyway, today's japchae is made spicy with chili oil.

It was too ambiguous to just give japchae as a side dish, so it was because the menu was chosen as japchae rice.

Still, japchae was a food that rewarded the hard work.

I picked up the finished japchae with sanitary gloves and tasted it.

"Oh!"

"Are you all right?"

"Yumi, try it first.”

Slurp!

"Oh!"

It was a taste of automatic elasticity.

As always, the dishes of heaven on a day and a meal.

It's a taste that everyone knows, but it's more delicious and makes me want to eat.

When I was almost ready to open the door, Haru, who suddenly checked the calendar, looked at Yumi.

"Come to think of it, today is Ye-young's day? It's Tuesday."

"Come to think of it, yes? I forgot every single day because it went by so quickly.”

It was Ye-young who said she would come often and went back, but honestly, I didn't expect much for one day.

Let's eat sometime~ That's what Koreans say. It was similar at the restaurant.

But a late lunch just a week later, Ye-young is really back.

The reasons were the same. I had regular business around here, and I came to eat after delivery.

Next week, the week after that.

"Ye-young!"

"What, what. Were you waiting for me?”

"Of course, I've got it ready."

"Fire, I'm impressed. Our Yumi! Oh, I bought some coffee. Eat while you work."

"Oh, thank you."

It wasn't even empty handed.

For Haru and Yumi, sorry to say that, she always came with something.

"Oh, right. Mr. Haru. It happened when Yumi was in middle school. She had her first love.”

"Yes, Ye-young! Why are you saying that now?”

Even an interesting story.

Every Tuesday. Once a week. From beginning to end of summer.

That's how I became a regular customer.

Haru and Yumi are waiting for the preliminary stage.

Cheer up~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As always, around 5 p.m., when break time has just ended.

As soon as I hung the restaurant's open sign, I heard the motorcycle rumbling, and the door opened energetically as if I had waited.

"I'm here!"

"Now you're coming in like your house?”

"Now it feels like our home. I feel like I'm eating home-cooked meals. Haru, isn't this a good thing?"

"From the perspective of a restaurant owner, it's the best compliment."

"Haha, did you see that?"

"Yes, you are!”

After talking with still childish friends, Ye-young, who sat down, looked around today's menu.

Then, he raised his head and looked at Yumi's day alternately.

Yumi asked, thinking, "No way.

"Ye-young, are you the one who applied for japchae?”

"Yeah. Wow, actually, I didn't expect it to work. Thank you, Mr. Haru!"

"What, by the way, it's a surprise. I can't believe it was Ye-young who wrote it with amazing handwriting.”

"I know. Did you like japchae so much?"

"Me? I don't particularly like japchae."

Then did you just pull it out of nowhere? Just when I wanted to.

"But my birthday is next week. Next Tuesday."

"Huh?"

For a moment, I saw one day.

Yumi's pupils are rapidly getting smaller.

"My friend, you didn't forget my birthday, did you?"

"Of course. How can I forget the day we first met. Ahahaha…….""As expected, right? Oh, I almost got you wrong. Dude."

"Of course, of course. Just wait a little bit. I'll feed you."

"Oh, my God!"

That's how it slipped by.

But Haru and Yeyoung were thinking at the same time.

Yumi is not good at lying.

Yumi, she can't lie yet.

My eyes get so small every time I lie. How can I not show it?

Soon after, a portion of the heaven's official meal with japchae rice as the main dish was made.

"Oh, it's delicious. Honestly, I'm looking forward to the day you come here. It's so bad to buy it at another restaurant."

"Really? Does it taste good?"

"It's not okay, it's delicious! I'm glad that I got a birthday present in advance."

"Ahaha……"

"Kkk, that's enough. Never mind. Anyway, it's really good."

Yeyoung finished eating while making fun of Yumi.

Usually, if the restaurant wasn't busy afterwards, we would chat a little, but today we stood up right away.

"You're leaving early, aren't you?

"Oh, I'm behind on delivery today. There's a lot of work going on these days."

Ye-young, scratching her head and answering.

Yumi, who was trimming vegetables, immediately said a word.

"Hey, drive safely! You know, after a motorcycle accident, you're in a rush, right?”

"I take care of myself. Don't worry, just take care of yourself. See you next week, then!"

The roar--!

Ye-young, still wearing a helmet with a clear voice, disappeared, emitting black smoke.

Yumi sighed deeply as if her tension had eased.

I thought you didn't look good, sure enough.

"Oh, boss. I guess I'm really an idiot. I can't believe I forgot Yeyoung's birthday. He'd be rather upset."

"That's possible. Between friends."

"Because Ye-young and I are not just friends! At least, that's what I think. He's a very grateful friend."

Well, there is a world of difference between just friends and thankful friends.

Even more if you're a very grateful friend.

Hey, Yumi. We can just make up for it next week. I heard Tuesday is your friend's birthday.

"That's true, but...….”

Choi Han-seok, who was watching the situation, said he had a good idea.

It's best to solve the problem of being upset with your birthday.

You're giving me a gift that I can't forget. How is it?

"Still, I can't think of anything. I don't know what Ye-young needs."

"I have one thing that comes to my mind.”

"Mr. President?"

I thought the same thing as Choi Han-seok for a day.

You're my student! Choi Han-seok, who smiled as he did, handed over the baton to Haru.

"We're cooks, and what we're best at is cooking, right? That's why it makes unforgettable food.”

"Unforgettable food……. The food that will surprise Yeyoung...…! Ice cream!"

That was correct.

The first food I ate after meeting Yumi and Yeyoung.

And now I can't eat it again. The taste of memories.

Wasn't even Yeyoung's birthday that day?

It seemed most appropriate in many ways.

"Then the question is how to make ice cream."

What? Why are you looking at me?

"You know, Chef?"

Do you know what kind of cooking encyclopedia I am?

"You know that."

It's not that I don't know. Err, yeah. I'll let you know. I didn't expect to make ice cream here.Originally, it was said that old people know old food the best.

I was able to make food that I had never thought of for a day, but I was more excited because of that.

"It's my first time making ice cream."

It's always been exciting to cook something I've never cooked before.

* * *

Time flies so fast, Tuesday dawn.

Today, Haru and Yumi woke up much earlier than usual.

Of course, to prepare Yeyoung's birthday present.

Because of the nature of ice cream that needs to be made in advance and frozen, it was comfortable to make it early.

By the way, of course you can wonder.

Can you make factory-made ice cream in the kitchen of the restaurant? It's what you want.

Yumi and Haru had similar concerns, but decided to make it for now.

Let's make an ice cream base first.

"Yes, chef."

In fact, I have made ice cream a few times a day.

In the oral fairy tale.

There have often been occasions when ice cream is served as a dessert for the course.

Of course, there is a really big difference between the ice cream on the course and the ice cream we buy at the convenience store.

But the base itself is similar, so I decided to start from there.

"First of all, whipped cream."

Ice cream is Western food, too.

Melt whipped cream, egg yolks, sugar and milk in a saucepan.

If you freeze this well-boiled one, it becomes the base of ice cream.

You have to make things that will taste good while ice cream freezes.

First of all, the chocolate bar, an ice cream in Yumi's memory, needs to be coated with thick chocolate.

But the key is Yeyoung's red bean carp ice cream.

I decided to make red bean paste first.

"Yumi, what did you say about your memory?”

"Well, the carp ice cream I remember, it was much more red beans than it is now sold. The carp on the outside was a bit soggy.”

"Okay, well, let's do that.”

You could have bought red bean paste and used it, but it also tastes bad.

That's why I bought red beans in advance yesterday and left them in the water.

Boil the soaked red beans well once, peel off the skin and boil it down to sugar.

Add lemon juice to enhance the flavor and cool it down well.

Then, the next one is a bungeoppang shaped snack, which was solved by the bungeoppang mold that I had previously bought thanks to Myeongseok.

"We'll be the only restaurant in the world with a fish bun mold.”

"Making snacks for fish ice cream with the mold of fish-shaped buns "Kkkkk."

Carp snacks are not much.

Mix flour with butter to make crepe dough or something, and bake it in a bungeoppang mold and you're done.

The important thing here is that the front and back sides should be made separately because they need to be combined with ice cream later.

If you're all ready, it's time to make ice cream.

Freeze the ice cream base and take it out.

And there's an unusual process going on here.

You have to put the frozen ice cream base in the ice cream machine and return it.

Of course, it's not an ice cream machine sold at a supermarket, but a real machine used at a restaurant.

Unlike normal machines, you should use a machine that puts air in an ice cream base.

It's a very special machine, so the price is also very high.Buying a machine for this was no bigger than a belly button.

But!

As expected, the oral fairy tale is working hard today.

"Chef Park Joo-hyuk helped me during my previous broadcast. I was glad he lent it to me.”

Maybe it was helped by heaven, but ice cream was missing from the oral fairy tale course.

Originally, it would be ridiculous, but Haru borrowed it through Park Joo-hyuk's personal connections.

Whooo--!

When I put the ice cream base I made in the machine and turned it around, air was slowly injected inside.

When I took it out when it stopped working, the ice cream almost doubled.

"Ohhhhhaha.

"Isn't it interesting? Now we can freeze it again."

The moment when homemade ice cream turns into a real selling quality ice cream.

By this time, the journey was almost over.

Once again, scoop up the frozen soft ice cream well, insert a wooden stick, and quickly coat it with a thick layer of chocolate.

Yumi's ice cream is done.

Apply a lot of homemade red bean paste on the carp mold that you made earlier and put it together with soft ice cream.

"Ye-young's present is complete!"

It took more than half a day to freeze ice cream.

After investing all the break time in ice cream making, including the middle hours of business, it was barely over.

All that remains is to wait for Ye-young, the owner of the gift.

Yumi waited for the sound of the motorcycle with a very excited expression.
