Cooking Genius With God

"Please?"

She refused, saying that the day was fine, but Seo-ah firmly said.

Like Sua's sister, she was also stubborn.

How did we come to an agreement to do Seo-ah'

The request was really unthinkable for a day.

Please put in -…… together. Are you sure you don't mind?

"It's all right, it's not rocket science."

It was a really small, small request.

When Haru accepted willingly, Seo-ah bowed to thank him.

He thanked Haru several times, saying, "It was a good thing I came to visit Haru," and offered Haru an advance payment.

Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

When Haru touched the money, he disappeared with a clear light as always.

The hands of the watch that begin to turn soon.

However, compared to the amount, the needle's speed was not unusual.

Maybe it's because it's unusual. It spins a lot more than I thought.

"It's almost three laps. 3 days is the time to make a lot of money. All at once!"

One evening, he earns more than 1 million won by doing business with ghosts at a "warm day" cart bar.

Of course, it costs 1 million won in cash, although the actual application time was between 2 and 3 days.

It simply filled my stomach, so time passed little by little.

But this time it was different.

The simple cost of rice and alcohol and the 100,000 won Seo-ah gave me this time were completely different in weight.

Money is just a simple sum in the afterlife.

What's really important is the heart in it. And the truth.

As much as the three rounds you went back, you have a big heart in 200,000 won.

As much as the returned hands of the clock and the extended life, the shoulders of the day became heavy.

But it was a pleasant heavyness.

My blood boiled up as a cook.

Day after day, I looked at Seo-ah with a smile.

"Don't worry. I'll do my best to make it. Seo-ah's birthday lunch box."

I talked with Seo-ah for a while and heard about her birthday party at her house.

Seo-ah's mother cooked LA ribs for her children on their birthdays.

I bought the meat the day before and marinated it, and I made the sauce myself.

In addition, I have all the recipes, such as seaweed soup and other side dishes, which can taste different from house to house.

'And I have to ask you a special favor. It'll take a while, but it's worth it.’

Sua's birthday is tomorrow.

In other words, I have to finish cooking at least by tomorrow morning.

Then it's time to work.

A day rolled up my sleeves.

* * *

It's 3:30 in the morning.

As soon as Haru and Choi Han-seok closed their doors, they hurriedly arranged the cart bar and returned home.

There was plenty of time left until morning, but I had to save as much time as I could.

It was much easier to cook because the meat for ribs was put in cold water to drain the blood, soak the seaweed or prepare the ingredients in the cart bar to some extent.

It was possible because Choi Han-seok moved during the time when the door was open.

"Well, shall we get started?”

Yes, Haru!

This time, Seo-ah was with me.

Although she could not taste the food or help her cook because her ears were closed, she thought it would help her reenact the taste of homemade food as much as possible.

Even if you make the same dish, the taste of the dish varies depending on who makes it in which house.

Seaweed soup, the representative food that comes to mind when you think of birthdays, is the same.If you stir-fry seaweed, if you stir-fry it, whether you use sesame oil or perilla oil. What do you use for seasoning, meat or tuna.

Even a minor change in the way you cook changes the taste completely.

So home-cooked meals are irreplaceable and irreplaceable.

That is why the precious taste remains a memory on the tip of the tongue.

If it's not that house, you can't taste the same anywhere else.

Therefore, what the day is doing now is not cooking but restoration.

It is to restore the taste of Sua's homemade food as much as possible and to bring back memories hidden in it.

"Can you tell me first? What did Seo-ah's seaweed soup taste like?”

Well, it smelled like perilla oil. The beef was strong. There were a lot of solid ingredients. Oh, and it has perilla powder in it. My mom used to like it savory.

-It's seaweed soup with beef and perilla powder. It looks delicious just thinking about it. Your mother has a good sense of cooking.

Like Seo-ah, who likes to eat raw materials, she knew well about food.

I said it because I could imagine the recipe in my head just by listening to her talk about food.

"Okay, I got it. Then right away!"

Today's food is simply seaweed soup, japchae, LA galbi, and some vegetables.

It started with seaweed soup, which tastes better as it kept boiling hard.

After taking out the seaweed soaked in water and cutting it into appropriate sizes, the beef for soup was taken out.

After putting perilla oil in a heated pot, put meat and minced garlic and slowly stir-fry them.

Screaming!

"The smell comes up...….”

Beef and garlic that are roasted in perilla oil.

There was a flavorful smell along with the savory, oily, and pungent.

Although sesame oil is common, perilla oil was the preferred method for a day because it would make the taste deeper.

Seeing that she paid a lot of attention to these details, Sua's mother seemed to be a good cook.

If the meat is moderately browned, add seaweed.

Stir-fry it for about 30 seconds, season it with soy sauce and salt, and add some fish sauce to enhance the taste.

Bring to a boil and add a moderate amount of perilla powder to finish.

Slurp!

"Wow!"

It was fantastic to taste it with a spoon and chopsticks.

Thanks to the perilla powder, the soup was green, the seaweed had a lively texture, and the flavor of perilla oil and beef spread.

I want to eat rice with it right away, and it'll kill me even if I get rid of my hangover.

Choi Han-seok and Seo-ah, who were drooling, said, "It looks delicious," and started cooking right afterwards.

LA galbi and japchae that come to mind when you think of birthday.

LA galbi is marinated by putting pear, onion, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, minced garlic, and cheongyang red pepper into a rib without blood.

Since meat can burn when grilling, add cold water and steam it to complete a very moist rib.

Add meat and cook the front and back for about 2 minutes, then add water if it's going to burn, then add 3 more minutes.

If you bake it for a total of 10 minutes, it will cook perfectly to the bone.

The texture of the meat was perfect even when it was chewed with its teeth.

Japchae also takes a little too much work, but it's not difficult.Basically, stir-fry carrots, onions, pork, and spinach. Add noodles, mix, and season. That's it.

Of course, I changed it to a home-cooked meal recipe.

My mom also put perilla oil in japchae. There are things you like, and I heard it's better for your health. Oh, and strangely, they also fried paprika.

"Paprika? Paprika on japchae..."…. I've never thought about this combination."

That's true, but this one. It looks great on you.

What do you mean paprika, a Western ingredient in japchae, a traditional Korean dish with deep origin?

It was a unimaginable combination, but at the same time, I thought it was a real home-cooked meal.

That's how mothers usually cook.

A dish made using ingredients on sale in the refrigerator or supermarket.

Always thinking about the health of the family who will eat the food, even if you give up the taste a little, it creates a healthy taste.

That's home-cooked meals. Also, it's a warm mother's taste.

Tap tap tap!

Shred red and yellow paprika to the same thickness as onions and stir-fry them.

I mixed japchae with other ingredients, which was better than I thought.

Wow, it looks so good looking.

"There's no red or yellow in japchae. But with this, the color...….”

It wasn't just the color.

I took a spoonful of freshly mixed japchae and tasted it, and it was as delicious as I could see with my eyes.

Especially, paprika's crunchy texture and its unique subtle sweetness matched japchae so well.

Slurp! Slurp!

It definitely came up for a taste, but the chopsticks didn't stop.

There's nothing more delicious than freshly made japchae.

Eventually, I ate up a few plates.

Afterwards, the dishes were all finished by mixing tricolored vegetables using stir-fried vegetables for japchae, and making stir-fried anchovies and fried kimchi.

I took out the 3-tier lunch box that I bought at the mart in the evening and put the food in it.

Rice and side dishes.

The main dish, japchae and galbi.

In the third layer, apples and pears for dessert were sliced into bite-size pieces.

"Well, that's it for Seo-ah!"

There was still one last step left.

Putting the sister's heart in the lunch box to her younger sister's heart.

Haru brought out some unusual ingredients this time.

Tough flour, eggs, sugar powder.

They were ingredients for baking, not cooking.

What I'm going to make this time is a fortune cookie.

It was also an oven-free, oven-free fortune cookie.

How to make is also simpler than you think. It's a recipe that even a beginner in baking can do.

"First of all, hit the egg whites...….”

Whip egg whites moderately and add flour and sugar powder.

Put a pinch of oil and salt in it, and bake it in a frying pan to the right size, and you're done.

Put a piece of paper with a message inside the baked cookie and fold it with your hand to shape it and harden it.

"Well, now all you have to do is write a message on the paper. What should I write?”

I have something in mind. When I was tired of studying like Sua, and my birthday was just around the corner. There was one thing I wanted to hear the most when I was having a hard time.

When Su-ah was feeling the pain she was feeling now.

One word that can be the most encouraging to Sua.

Seo-ah looked at the day and said it, and the day that paused for a while soon began to smile and move the pen on the paper.One letter, one letter.

I carefully wrote down my sister's feelings for her younger brother.

I put in the fortune cookie and wrapped it beautifully.

When all the preparations were completed, the sun was already out of the window.

As the morning dawned, Haru carried a lunch box and went out vigorously.

There is not much time left for Sua to stop by often.
