(Kang's Kitchen 2)
(The 6th day of Kang's Kitchen)
(The sixth commute to work)
(Something Happened in Kang's Kitchen)
We will open for dinner...
Boss Kang,
do you know nothing about what's going on with the head office?
- How can you not know? - My goodness.
We have to fight them.
Isn't this tyranny?
- This is wrong. - When we arrive...
Stop at the entrance.
- Let's go. Let's get out first. - Tell Young Seok to come on out.
- Cooking food is not a joke. - Right.
Is this a joke or what?
- It was running well. - Stop at the entrance.
Tell the CEO of the head office to come out. We are going to fight him.
You fight well.
(The beginning of this story goes quite far back.)
(The beginning of Kang's Kitchen 2)
(March 2019 at an apartment in Seoul)
(During "New Journey to the West 6", P.O lived in Blank Officetel.)
(But he left the memories behind and moved to a new place.)
This is Sangam-dong. Can I order for delivery?
(So they decided to gather at his new house.)
Nobody is here yet.
How long has it been since you moved?
Three months?
I know it's your housewarming party,
but I didn't bring any gift.
I didn't know what to buy.
Toilet paper is such a cliche.
(It bothers him that he came empty-handed.)
Hello.
What a surprise. Is it Jae Hyeon?
Yes.
- Whose house is this? - It's P.O's house.
- Whose house is it? - My goodness.
Didn't you hear that this is a housewarming party?
Didn't you hear that this is P.O's housewarming party?
I didn't hear it.
I thought we were going to a galbi restaurant.
- What? - A galbi restaurant.
So I wore a short sleeve shirt. For the barbecue.
I opened an office.
- I should've brought rice cakes. - Office?
- For my jewelry brand. - For your jewelry brand?
You should've brought jewelry.
I only sell them in Japan.
What?
- You don't sell them in Korea? - I don't sell them in Korea.
Right. You can sell them wherever you want.
I am not saying you should sell them to us.
It's sent out once the order is placed.
Gold will worth nothing later.
- Come on. - Gold?
Why? Why would it worth nothing?
- It's gold. Same old gold. - Gold...
Gold is good.
How should I say it?
People are using less and less cash now.
But banks...
still deal with gold. People buy it to save it.
Diamond will be treated like stones too.
- In the future. - Are you playing a game?
I'm talking about the future.
- MINO. - Hello.
- He brought a gift. - He brought something.
I didn't know that it was a housewarming party.
But that's not it.
- What's wrong? - It's too small.
What? It's...
- I want a big one. - the artwork I cherish the most.
That doesn't matter. What if you cherish it most?
I want the biggest one.
I could hang a big artwork here.
I thought about 100 times, whether to give it to you or not.
- Let me see it. - Show us.
It's the artwork I cherish the most.
Why did you draw something like this?
(Let's enjoy MINO's artwork together.)
What is this? Is this a dog bird?
- That's me. - Is it you?
My goodness. How is this you? It doesn't look like you.
We haven't seen each other in a long time.
- Please explain it. - It's...
- Where is the bathroom, P.O? - What?
(He looks for the bathroom as soon as he enters the house.)
- I need to go to the bathroom. - Hey.
(And there's the eldest all dolled up.)
- Long time no see, Ji Won. - Hello.
- Jae Hyeon. - Hello.
Why does it feel like we are missing someone?
Whenever we're gathered, it feels like someone is missing.
- Isn't there someone missing? - Kyu Hyun.
Kyu Hyun is completely wiped out of my memory.
(They are still in good terms.)
Right? I completely forgot about him.
He will come back when we are done with this.
(Let's get to the business.)
(It's time to choose the menu.)
Should we decide what to sell again?
Yes. Did we decide to sell pork cutlet?
- We did, right? - We met for three hours.
For two and a half hours, we talked about kalguksu.
But in the last 30 minutes, we completely changed our minds.
- Right. - Right.
Since there's MINO and P.O too, let's not go for a popular dish.
Let's only serve young food.
- What's "young food"? - What's "young food"?
- Give me Coke. - What children like.
- So what is it? - I don't know.
I am trying to ask the kids.
Something cheap...
and something young people can enjoy.
- For students. - We can serve what we like.
- Right. - Jjajangmyeon.
- My gosh. - I agree with you.
Honestly,
I want to try hand-pulling noodles for jjajjang and jjampong.
"Kang's Chinese Restaurant"?
Even if you start practicing now,
you wouldn't be able to master it within this year.
Even if we serve only 10 people, if we serve the best food,
wouldn't it be more memorable?
It would be memorable.
But hand-pulled noodles are not meant to be made ahead of time.
They are made to order, you see.
- That's how it works. - We can do that too then.
Right. You can do it with practice.
I think you shouldn't go on any TV shows from now on.
You just have to keep doing this. Starting tomorrow morning...
Don't you agree?
What if we make everything using electronic appliances?
(How about that?)
- You will only use a microwave. - "Electronic Snack Bar".
That's a great idea.
(He's touched.)
We can use a microwave and some other appliances.
We can use all kinds of electronic appliances.
We will name it "Electro-Kangnetic Waves".
We will buy the ready-to-eat jjajang.
We will heat it as best as we can.
We can just stare at the microwave.
We got an idea. We can specialize in jjolmyeon.
We will name the restaurant Kang's Jjolmyeon.
"Kang's Jjolmyeon"?
(For some reason, it worries us.)
It means, "What if Kang Ho Dong gets scared"?
He doesn't care about the menu. He just wants to make a joke.
- Didn't we talk about jjolmyeon? - He just wants to be funny.
I am not insisting on jjajangmyeon. I am insisting on Chinese food.
I think we should serve hand-pulled noodles.
You have to resign from all the shows and just do that.
You have to pull the noodles and stir-fry the sauce alone.
Who would stand by you when you pull noodles?
Then let's outsource the hand-pulled noodles.
Why don't we just borrow hands?
(Why don't we just borrow hands?)
Hands will stick out from a cloth.
When we press a button, he can hand-pull noodles.
- We won't borrow a machine. - We won't.
(There are no such hands available.)
After running Kang's Kitchen for the first time,
I got some ideas. Gimbap.
Su Geun's gimbap...
- was so impressive. - Gimbap is good.
Gimbap and ramyeon?
- Snack bar? - Snacks are great.
"Kang's Snack Bar".
- Snack bar is great. - Tteokbokki.
We can cook a big batch of tteokbokki in a big square pan.
- Tteokbokki. - And skewered rice cakes.
- Rice cake skewers. - Right.
The sauce makes all the difference.
When you open a snack bar, you can serve all kinds of snacks.
- Fried food. - These days, spicy tteokbokki...
is sold alongside patbingsu.
And there's jjajang tteokbokki.
- Team Cafe could make that. - We're serving that many foods?
- Patbingsu. - Patbingsu.
You just mentioned eight dishes.
(He's perplexed.)
All the dishes mentioned can be sold at a snack bar.
We can sell noodles. We can sell what they like.
To make the restaurant successful, we have to appeal it to the kids.
(Ji Won shows off his wisdom.)
- Just tteokbokki. - Kang's Snack Bar?
Kangbokki.
(They decide to sell snacks.)
(Worry 1)
A snack bar would produce so many dirty dishes.
From small dishes to coffee cups...
(He's worried because he might be doing everything alone.)
There are many spoons.
(Worry 2)
A snack bar has a variety of dishes.
We can simplify.
Everyone has to cook.
(He's worried that he might be left alone to do the dishes.)
(He's worried that he's going to be doing everything alone.)
(The baby's first ordeal in life)
(Worry 3)
People have such a high expectation...
- It has to be good. - on tteokbokki.
- It has to be really good. - There are so many kinds.
Some like spicy ones. Some like soupy ones.
There's garlic tteokbokki too.
(The members who can't cook...)
(visited a master.)
(April 2019, somewhere in Gangnam)
He looks like he just woke up.
Have you been well?
Shouldn't we put a stop to it while we still can?
- I... - How...
How can you put a stop to it? I worked so hard on it.
(He prepared too much.)
This has so much information.
(He's touched.)
What is that?
(He's grateful to Mr. Baek for what he had done for the pork cutlet.)
I feel strange.
I feel emotional. I'm going through menopause.
I do these gestures.
(Team Cooking's roles are divided.)
Since it's a snack bar, you need tteokbokki.
- It's a must-have. - Tteokbokki.
- He will cook tteokbokki. - I will be cooking tteokbokki?
Tteokbokki is more complicated.
He's the handsome one of our show.
Fried foods will look the best.
Fried foods. Will P.O be cooking the fried foods?
No. No. You will.
(Yes. You will do everything.)
- You are doing everything. - I see.
Noodles. You will serve old-fashioned garak guksu.
Ho Dong will be in charge of garak guksu.
You will make the noodles and the broth.
You have to make the dough too.
- That's three in total. - I have to make the broth.
(He's burdened by the responsibility.)
(Jae Hyeon will make tteokbokki, and Ho Dong will make garak guksu.)
(What will P.O do then?)
Just like how you prepared pork cutlet at the lodging,
you will have to make the dough the night before.
When you go to the restaurant,
you have to first get started with broth.
It takes at least two hours to make the broth.
(They learn how to make dough with love.)
You need this to make the noodle dough.
- People did this in movies. - Right.
We won't be doing that.
Add 4kg of flour.
This is baking soda. This is salt.
Pour it in several rounds.
It looks fine now, doesn't it? Mix them gently.
You have to do this until it comes together as a ball.
(It takes about 7 to 8 minutes.)
(He looks at Mr. Baek.)
It must've been about three minutes.
Then we make the broth?
Can you move a little bit? It's too hot here.
Is it hot?
The heat keeps hitting my face.
(Sighing)
I couldn't say it. Didn't you smell meat being cooked?
(5 minutes passed.)
You guys are amazing, but...
before meeting Mr. Baek, I thought hard about it.
- Watching his recent works... - This is so tiring.
(He's sweating.)
Let's say it's been seven minutes.
But you can't do a sloppy job.
We can't just say that it's been seven minutes.
You don't do a sloppy job.
- "Let's say it's been long." - You do your best at alleys.
If you don't want to do something, you shouldn't do it.
But when you decide to do it, you have to do well. Right?
Why are you talking about that here?
(It's been 6 minutes.)
(7 minutes)
(8 minutes)
Is it fine if it's not a perfect ball shape?
(They put the dough in double layers of plastic bag.)
Good job.
(Is the dough-making over?)
This is just the beginning.
- What? - He's going to step on it.
(Put a sheet of plywood on the floor and put the dough.)
It's not easy to make a dough.
This is kneading dough with feet.
"Kneading dough with feet".
(Kneading dough with feet)
(Kneading dough with feet increases the density of the dough.)
(It's used for making the dough for noodles, sujebi, and dumpling skin.)
You hand-kneaded for seven minutes.
How long do you have to do that for?
About 20 minutes.
You can knead with your big calves.
- While pressing the dough... - Take off your socks.
Okay.
- Step on it like this. - Yes.
You have to learn the trick yourself. Knead it thoroughly.
Because of his weight, it would get kneaded better.
His feet are really big too.
- His feet are big. - Right?
His feet are really big.
The dough is getting stretched really nicely.
Let's open it and check.
It became really smooth.
- Right? - Yes.
- But look at this part. Right? - Yes.
You didn't knead the edges well.
(He kneads the dough more throughly this time.)
It looks easy, but it's actually quite hard.
People might think it's nothing.
But it's not easy to balance on top of the dough.
If there's something to hold in the air,
I could hold onto it.
But there's nothing now.
Because there's nothing supporting me, my back hurts.
- Can you do it? - I think you can do it.
(Su Geun's 17th job is being a human fixture.)
It's boring, isn't it?
You should prepare a song and hum it while doing it.
(Su Geun's 18th job is singing a song.)
Let's make the noodles now.
(Noodle-making machine)
You push it in.
(Once it's kneaded, mature it and pass it through the machine.)
Look.
(It's finally time to make the noodles.)
(He's very skilled.)
There it is.
(Falling)
- It's difficult. - It's hard.
(He practices until he gets it.)
(He's very proud.)
He's proud.
(Once the broth is ready, it's almost done.)
Put a generous amount of crown daisy. Okay?
- It's too good. - It's good.
- That's why you use stock. - For sauce?
- Right. - Like what he said...
Jae Hyeon and I will use it together.
You put this on top.
That's it.
(They are impressed.)
Like this.
It's too good.
(Until the day of the opening, they practiced and practiced more.)
(And...)
We will make patbingsu today.
Beat this first.
(He freezes.)
Suddenly...
(It sounded familiar.)
It sounded familiar.
(Team Dessert did a few more practices.)
(1 day before the opening)
- When did you come? - I took the one an hour eariler.
- An hour ago? - The one an hour early.
(This area is called a roofless museum.)
(It's the most popular school field trip destination.)
(Gyeongju, the smile of Silla)
(It has the most beautiful landscapes.)
(It's the city of history, culture, and tourism.)
(Kang's Kitchen will open in Gyeongju.)
(All the staffs are gathering at Singyeongju Station.)
(He looks like he's on a school field trip.)
Did he just get discharged from prison?
(Did he get discharged?)
Where's tofu? Where's tofu?
You're here.
You're here, Boss.
Are you all doing fine?
(Laughing awkwardly)
You all look great.
- Welcome back, Boss. - Welcome back.
(Everyone politely greets him.)
(He happily came to sell some snacks.)
Yesterday, I matured red beans for 12 hours.
- Red beans? - So you all have a specialty.
Do you have one too, MINO?
What would Ji Won be doing?
JI Won will be making deserts with me.
So I am the only one who didn't learn anything.
(It's sad and yet funny.)
(They go to the restaurant to practice.)
It's our first time going to Kang's Kitchen.
(MINO has something to say to the members.)
We...
Are we revealing it here?
Reveal what?
- P.O and I... - Did you bring gifts?
made the theme song of Kang's Kitchen.
You can just plug the USB.
Here it is. Shouldn't you...
have made Jae Hyeon sing? He's an incredible singer.
What a shame. I always get a perfect score.
Okay.
Listen.
(Don't be flustered, everyone.)
(It starts with the familiar intro.)
(I'm making soup right now.)
Don't be flustered.
(When we close, I will...)
(Pat, pat, pat with love)
(He expresses love with sign language)
Hey.
(It brings back the strong memories from the pork cutlet restaurant.)
(He feels a little bitter.)
- "Pat Pat"? - Yes. "Pat Pat".
He produced it with his own money.
(The song is about loving each other even in busy and harsh times.)
(The witty lyrics grounded on reality are impressive.)
(Pat, pat, pat, with a smile)
(Kang's Kitchen overflows with love)
How did you make this?
(Arranging shoes, managing customers)
(He lives a routine life and yet)
(He drives, sings, manipulates Ho Dong, develops new recipes,)
(goes grocery shopping, tastes the food, and does the dishes)
(But he still gets yelled at)
(He shoots him with love.)
(We don't hate)
(We don't resent)
Kang's Kitchen
(They go over the lyrics.)
(Delicious but lame Kang's Kitchen)
- Delicious but what? - Lame Kang's Kitchen.
The food is good, but it's a lame restaurant.
Why is it lame?
So today we will be tasting...
- Guksu. - Garak guksu.
- Tteokbokki. Fried food. - Two dishes.
- We have a lot to do today. - We have a lot to do.
- I know. - We have to name the dishes too.
We have to make a menu board too.
We have to decide on the prices.
If we don't have enough plates or supplies,
we have to note that.
(Boss Kang is worried too.)
I hope the food is good.
It's safe to assume that...
every table will order tteokbokki.
Ho Dong might actually not get buy.
That's possible.
Should we serve the noodles for free?
We can serve them in small bowls.
- And serve it with tteokbokki? - Yes.
Ho Dong...
just laughed bitterly.
He worked so hard to learn it.
- Don't be offended. - He wants to give it away for free.
- We can serve it in cups. - It would be like...
eating at a buffet.
It's like what they give you.
It's often served in a cup.
In a cup for water.
We can serve it in the cup.
I respect all your varied opinions.
- I am just saying. - I see.
(They enjoy the day before the first opening day.)
What's this?
- What's this place? - Isn't it Bulguksa?
- What's this place? - It surprised me.
- It's a training center. - Is it inside a Buddist temple?
What's this place? Is this our restaurant?
(This place that surprised the staffs is...)
(where people learn about the spirit of Hwarang of Silla.)
(Opened in 1973, it is the 1st student training center in Korea.)
(It trained about 400,000 students.)
(Kang's Kitchen is right next to it.)
That might actually happen.
- What? - What?
- Are you talking about guksu? - Guksu what?
What will you do with guksu? Will you give it out for free?
- It's... - Hey.
He almost raised his hands.
- Let's go. - Get off the car.
This is the best.
It's lovely.
(There's lovely hanok Kang's Kitchen.)
- This is... - This is too good.
It says "Kangbokki'. There's no mention of guksu.
(The staffs came up with this name.)
- But this is really nice. - It looks incredible.
This feels like...
- It looks like a nice restaurant. - It's like Yoon's Kitchen.
You think this is fitting for a tteokbokki restaurant?
It feels more like Yoon's Kitchen.
(Construction process)
- It feels like Yoon's Kitchen. - My goodness.
(It's a big dining hall decorated in stylish newtro style.)
(Delicate)
(When you pass by the hall, there's space for Team Dessert.)
Team Dessert got a designated space.
This is incredible.
(When you pass by Team Dessert's space,)
There's a noodle pot too.
How could the kitchen...
be bigger than the hall?
(The kitchen has become more spacious.)
The aprons are really pretty too.
- Here... - They've gotten so pretty, right?
Yes, they have.
(The aprons have become cuter and more stylish.)
(On the other hand, the boss seems to be worried.)
(Something then catches his eyes.)
(They will start the business for real tomorrow...)
(although he feels unfamiliar in the kitchen.)
It should be there.
This must be for the broth.
- You could use this whole area. - It's for the broth.
You can use this area.
Okay.
(He sets the noodle-making machine ready.)
Let's check the ingredients.
(He checks the ingredients.)
(He's practicing in his imagination.)
What do I do with these?
(He's trying to think what he missed.)
We'll taste the food first. We may not sell kalguksu after all.
I think kalguksu should be complimentary.
It should be an appetizer...
because there are so many foods.
(Boss Kang's Secret 1, He listens to his staff.)
It seems like they don't want to sell the noodle dish.
Apparently, it's a nuisance.
(He speaks in the dialect of South Gyeongsang Province.)
(Boss Kang's Secret 2, He's aware of how often he calls Su Geun.)
Let's get the ingredients ready, Su Geun.
Hey.
Excuse me.
I'll go and learn how to cook myself.
You should go and serve.
(Go and serve in the dining hall.)
(Kangbokki)
(Cooking begins now.)
Our kitchen will focus on being respectful and considerate...
toward each other more than happiness.
We need to make the broth. The recipe is set for 80 servings.
Shall we try 40 servings then?
I don't think we'll ever make 80 servings.
- But this... - This is a tteokbokki place.
We won't even sell 40 servings of noodles.
(Kang's Kitchen is all about respect and consideration.)
Get some anchovies, Su Geun.
From where? Outside?
Where do I get them from?
This is called large-eyed herring.
They have large eyes?
- They are herrings. - Large-eyed herrings.
- So what do I do with these? - What?
Clean them.
Come over here. Do it here.
You'll ask me to do it everyday...
- if I do it now. - Here...
So you're saying I should separate its inside...
- like this? - Yes. You got it.
- How many do you need? - What?
How many do you need?
Clean enough anchovies to use for tomorrow.
Do you guys need this?
No, you can take them.
I'll return them after I'm done.
It uses a lot of the large-eyed herrings.
This will make the broth refreshing.
(The large-eyed herrings will make the broth tasty.)
(Scallions)
(Garlic)
(Cooking is all about numbers.)
(And onion is fruit to him.)
(Onions)
(Dried red pepper)
I took out the inside.
Then, Su Geun...
- Okay. - Since we'll make the broth,
put the whole thing in.
Like this.
Why didn't you take out the ladle in the first place?
It'll need to boil for 1 hour and 45 minutes.
Then it'll be done.
(This is it for the broth.)
The most important thing is the hygiene.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Above consideration and respect is hygiene.
- Okay. - Gosh, it's hot.
It almost got burnt.
- Be careful. - Yes, let's be careful.
- Safety should come before hygiene. - Yes. Safety and hygiene.
Safety. Hygiene. Consideration. Respect.
(Kneading the dough for the noodles)
- Su Geun. - Yes?
Help me make the noodles.
- Sorry? - It's hard.
- Noodles? - Just the noodles.
- Okay. - Help me make them.
We have such great teamwork.
You must familiarize yourself with this...
so that when I'm not around, you can...
Will you be going somewhere in between?
- No, I meant... - What are you saying then?
Do you need to knead it with your feet?
This gets rid of the gas.
- You won't use your hands? - No.
At traditional noodle places, they do feet kneading.
Which traditional places have you been to?
You've never been to any.
(Pat, pat, pat, I love you)
(Pat, pat, pat with happiness)
Pat, pat, pat with love
(The noodle is made with love.)
Where is it?
It's to my liking,
but I'm not sure how our customers will find it.
It doesn't mean everyone will too just because I like it.
- It looks just like pizza. - It does, right?
- You'll put this on top? - Yes.
- What is this? - We'll only sell...
15 servings a day.
(The staff's attention is not on me.)
- It's one piece. - This is one piece?
- Like tonkatsu. - Jae Hyeon.
- Is it ready? - Yes.
- Fried vegetables? - It'll be topping for tteokbokki.
Fried vegetables.
(Only Su Geun gives Ho Dong attention.)
That's great.
- What? - I've got better, haven't I?
- Yes. - Yes, you have.
Let's compliment each other once in a while.
(And these two haven't been in the picture for a while.)
Don't press it. That's it.
We'll need onions. We'll shred it.
No, wait.
Wait.
It looks so pretty.
- Right? - Yes.
We want to make it look like a pretty pizza.
The skills Jae Hyeon learned seem so fancy, but...
But?
(It seems so fancy.)
- It's tasty. - It is, right?
- It is. - It's tasty.
(And it's tasty.)
Gosh, it's spicy.
- The tteokbokki is spicy. - It is.
You need to eat it together.
(The food you'll eat together)
(4-colored quatro fries)
(Spicy soupy tteokbokki)
(Even if they fail to make guksu...)
I'm glad at least this is a success.
(This will keep Kang's Kitchen in business.)
I said that without realizing.
(The main menu at Kang's Kitchen,)
(tteokbokki with quatro fries)
Tteokbokki is the most significant food in Korean snack food.
It is.
We'll make tteokbokki, but on it,
I wanted to put big and unique fries.
So I came up with the idea of mixing different colors.
Like pizza with different slices together.
There are many kinds of fries that go well with tteokbokki.
One example would be fried vegetables.
I thought it'd look nice...
if 3 or 4 colors were mixed.
It'll be huge too.
(Spinach, perilla leaves, carrots, sweet potato, beets)
(That's how quatro fries were made.)
That's amazing.
Isn't it pretty?
Try the rice cake.
You'll put this on tteokbokki as it is.
That's it!
(The fries cover the surface of the tteokbokki.)
Like this.
It's too much to eat alone, right?
- Try. - I can if I put my mind to it.
- Try not to mix them all together. - I'll try this part here.
Right.
Where's the rice cake?
Shall we lower the heat?
It tastes great.
I can't believe how great it is.
- It's so tasty. - I know.
It's not too spicy. It's just about right.
It tastes great together.
It's just great.
Mr. Baek.
It's so delicious.
It tastes great.
(Tteokbokki with quatro fries)
(This is Jae Hyeon and P.O working hard fast-forwarded.)
(Jae Hyeon and P.O make...)
Don't press it. That's it.
(the quatro fries they learned from Mr. Baek.)
(Vegetables of four different colors)
- It looks just like pizza. - It does, right?
- You'll put this on top? - Yes.
This is one piece?
Look. It's pretty.
Do you hear that sound?
That looks so nice.
(Sizzling)
This is what it looks like when completed.
But let's fry it a bit more...
so that it's more crispy.
Look at the fries.
(Exclaiming)
This is awesome.
- It looks unbelievable. - It's gotten really crispy.
- It'll make everyone surprised. - It's really crispy.
It's done.
- Goodness. - It looks perfect.
We'll have 15 of these ready.
Okay.
(To the tteokbokki sauce they made in advance,)
(rice cakes, fish cakes, and scallions are added.)
Tteokbokki is almost ready.
- It even has crabmeat. - Yes, it does.
(Tteokbokki is ready.)
Shall I put it on? Will you try this now?
- Wow, look at that. - We'll have to try it.
- Tteokbokki is ready. - My gosh.
Now this...
- Will you put it on top? - Yes, like this.
Show us how you'll serve it.
- This is how it'll be served. - Put it on.
(This is the completed version.)
Is this it?
When it's ready, serve it like this.
- You don't add anything more? - No. Just as is.
- Will you heat it again or not? - No.
It's just made.
Will they need to break it into pieces?
- Yes. - Eat them with the tteokbokki.
You should tell them to dip it in the tteokbokki soup.
- They'll have to dip it. - Yes.
(The 1st Staff Tasting)
- Like this. - Okay.
- And then like this. - Try it.
- That's right. - Break it with the spoon.
And enjoy.
It tastes good.
- It's okay to taste different. - Were you worried?
I was worried it'd be too hard.
- No, I like this. - It's perfect.
It's crispy and tastes great.
It's tasty. Gosh, it's spicy.
Spicy tteokbokki is popular these days.
- It's tasty. - MINO must love this.
It really tastes great.
So there are four kinds of vegetables.
Spicy food lovers will go crazy for this.
- Spicy food is trendy too. - It'd be enough for two.
If they don't order anything else.
Yes. If two people ordered only this, it'd be enough.
But if they order another dish, it'd be too much.
- It's too spicy for me. - It's perfect for me.
- It tastes great. - Not everyone...
who comes to Kang's Kitchen will like spicy food.
- It's perfect for me. - I like it too.
It's very spicy at first, but the fries help calm your tongue.
I think it should be this spicy.
It will go perfectly well with garak guksu.
The guksu should be served in a little bowl...
on the side as a complimentary food.
Along with this dish.
The noodles?
Talk to me after you've tasted it.
(We're making garak guksu.)
(He folds the dough in half a multiple times.)
He'll now use the machine. Everyone, be quiet.
(He flattens the dough over and over again using the machine.)
Do it like this.
Remember. It's the size of a smartphone.
Yes. Slice them into the size of a smartphone.
Shall I prepare the toppings?
Fried tofu, scallions, and crown daisies?
- That'd be great. - Will that be all right?
We need to make the soy sauce too.
(He remembers the soy sauce.)
(It's the sauce for garak guksu that needs garlic and soy sauce.)
Su Geun, taste this.
It's been brewing for two hours. Please say it's good.
(Su Geun tastes the broth that's been brewed for 2 hours.)
It has a deep flavor.
- It does. - Is does?
Yes, it's great.
(Boiled soy sauce is strained through a sieve.)
(It's his first time making noodles in front of the staffs.)
Let's go. Slowly.
Yes.
Is that one serving?
Yes.
- Put 4 spoonfuls. - 3...
(The sauce for the noodles will be made by the support team.)
Do we put the broth in the bowl before you cook the noodles?
Yes, and what's important is...
the time.
He said 15 seconds from now. Let's time it.
(Cook the noodles made from the machine.)
- No. Not... - 4 seconds. 5...
That was great just now.
- That was so helpful. - I saw you put it, so I pressed it.
- That's it. - That's well-cooked.
Now, 50 seconds.
- You won't wash it with cold water? - No.
He won't wash it with cold water.
- That's a lot. - Look at the noodles.
It's a lot.
It's a lot so enjoy a lot.
I'll add a lot of toppings.
Are these noodles with fried tofu?
That'll only be enough for three servings.
- So this is... - It's more than the noodles.
- Just stay quiet. - Okay.
(Scallions and crown daisies)
- That's dried laver. - Yes.
I won't let you see the noodles.
(You can't see the noodles hidden under the toppings.)
We'll taste them.
- Now, they'll be served. - Thanks.
Let's go.
(The 2nd Staff Tasting)
Come on over.
The noodles are ready.
- It took some time. - The noodles look great.
They are because I made them.
It's very savory.
It's tasty.
(Relieved)
(Surprised)
Don't mind me. Be honest.
The noodles are really chewy.
You didn't wash them with cold water. How could this be?
- It's surprising. - I didn't put it in cold water.
It's just like...
how the noodle in jjolmyeon is like.
- Jjolmyeon. - How could they be so chewy?
(Jjajang tteokbokki)
What vegetables do you need, Jae Hyeon?
Dice the onions.
Onions? 2 or 1?
Three cups of diced onions.
(P.O is good at dicing onions.)
(While Jae Hyeon is chopping the scallions,)
(3 cups of diced onions are ready.)
Onions are done. What else do you need?
Nothing. I'm fine.
- You seem to need help. - No.
Tell me now. Scallions?
I did them. Soy sauce for the soup.
- Soy sauce for the soup is here. - A third of it.
Chunjang.
(Scallion oil)
(Sugar)
(Minced meat)
(Onions)
Do you have the scissors, P.O?
- Shall I cut something? - Open the ginger bag.
(Ginger)
(Smoky flavor)
(Soy sauce for soup)
(Oyster sauce)
(And chunjang)
(Jjajang sauce is made.)
(He came to have a look.)
It looks tasty, doesn't it?
- I can see some flame. - Of course.
(He tries to remember the recipe.)
Jae Hyeon.
(P.O brings him rice cakes.)
Here are fish cakes and gochujang.
(The jjajang sauce is ready.)
(Now, a bit of the jjajang sauce is moved to another pan.)
It takes a lot of effort.
Yes.
(Rice cakes, fish cakes,)
(and a little bit of gochujang are added.)
(He's like a machine.)
(Mix it well with scallions.)
(Sweet jjajang tteokbokki is ready.)
- It looks pretty. - Yes, it does.
Jjajang tteokbokki is ready too. Let's eat it together.
It's pretty. It looks really pretty.
(It's the second menu Jae Hyeon learned.)
(The 3rd Staff Tasting)
We had it straight from the machine.
(Jae Hyeon tries the jjajang tteokbokki first.)
I like salty food.
It's salty enough.
The cook should be satisfied.
It's tasty. I like it.
(The reaction isn't so bad.)
Maybe I'm the weird one. Everything's a little too salty.
You're right.
- Right? - It's a little too salty.
It shouldn't be braised for too long.
- I find it a little salty too. - Right.
- A little salty. - It's not because of the sauce.
- No, I think I put too much sauce. - It is a little salty.
Would you mind trying again?
- I will. - If you don't...
I'll try double the amount.
(Jjajang tteokbokki, 2nd try)
(Jae Hyeon is a little perplexed.)
- Here are the onions. - Chop some scallions please.
Okay, scallions.
- It's too salty. - Yes.
(The saltiest of all is this jjajang sauce.)
It's harder than I thought. I can't balance it well.
- I see. - 250g of rice cakes.
(He added less sauce with more rice cakes.)
(It's ready in a second.)
Try again.
That's so quick. The color looks better now.
This looks darker. Doesn't it?
This looks tastier.
(Did the saltiness go away?)
Try and see if it's too salty or not.
- It's better than before. - A lot.
I think I should try again.
(Jjajang tteokbokki, 3rd try)
(Even less sauce)
(Even less conversation)
You worked so hard. Thanks.
Let's just try a little.
- It's still too salty. - It's salty.
- Is it? - Yes. It's too salty. My gosh.
What could be the problem? Maybe just one spoon...
No. I did just as the recipe, and it's salty.
It's because when eating with Mr. Baek around,
- it tastes a little different. - And he's much more skillful.
- He has skills. - Yes. How he makes it is different.
It's too salty. What should I do? Shall I try again?
Was it not salty back then?
- It's too salty now. - I'll try just once more.
(Jjajang tteokbokki, the 4th try)
- Keep trying. Like 10 times. - I'll try half the amount.
We don't have much time. We'll open tomorrow morning.
You added water, but it's still salty?
You only added water?
(Everyone is getting tired.)
(He's hoping it'll be his last scallion-cutting for today.)
The pain will pay off.
(Jae Hyeon is serious.)
(And upset)
- I think it's better. - It can't be better. Let me try it.
Let's try. Everyone has to try.
I put half the sauce.
- A little less will be good. - Less?
- It's really good but... - Less sauce?
That's hot.
I'll make chunjang tomorrow and...
Right, just a bit...
- For me, it's really good. - Is it salty?
But he's upset because he can't create the taste he learned.
- That's right. - I like it.
- This is good enough. - I think it's a bit salty.
It's a bit salty.
I put a quarter of what I put in the first one.
Try it. See if the flavor is right.
How is it?
Isn't it still salty?
I must've added too much soy sauce for soup.
I think there's too much soy sauce.
- There are different kinds. - Right.
The soy sauce might be salty.
Really?
(Soy sauce for soup, thick soy sauce)
(Used, new)
It was't the one for soup? Was it thick soy sauce?
- I used soy sauce for soup. - I told you.
You used that.
- Because of this? - Right?
- That's why it was salty. - That's why.
Did you find out why it was salty?
He should've added thick soy sauce, but he added soy sauce for soup.
So soy sauce for soup is saltier.
Who uses soy sauce for soup?
- I do. - You do?
Yes.
(Elf was the culprit.)
Thick soy sauce?
It's so salty.
Right, they're really different.
That's why it was salty.
I know. I put equal amounts.
Anyway.
I added only half of the recipe, and it was still salty.
You kept searching and eventually found out.
- Right. - You kept trying.
(Behind story)
Oh, Jae Hyeon.
Soy sauce for soup.
It can't be salty. I did as the recipe says.
They even said it was your hand and what not.
"With Mr. Baek around, anything tastes good."
They said the silliest things.
But it was the wrong sauce.
(Amazing crispy rice patbingsu)
(Wait until next week for details about Team Dessert.)
- Let's go. - Another day is over.
(Groaning)
(Moaning)
(Groaning)
It keeps making the sound.
What's the matter?
I hate the sound.
(Moaning)
(At Kang's Kitchen, the boss's mourning sound is the largest.)
By tomorrow, I won't even be able to moan.
We'll be silent.
- My hand numb. - Well done.
We really enjoyed it when we were eating.
But we had no idea.
Anyway, well done in advance.
(Surprisingly,)
(they haven't even started the business yet.)
[VIU Ver] tvN E01 'Kang's Kitchen S2' "Kang's Kitchen is Back" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Good job.
Well done.
You probably had the hardest time.
(The hardest?)
Are you okay?
- Jae Hyeon is dog-tired. - My tongue tastes salty.
(My tongue tastes salty.)
I was constantly tasting it too.
(Everyone was impressed by the soy sauce for soup.)
(Arrival at staff's lodge)
Guys.
While we're at it, should we prepare the anchovies?
Remove the anchovy intestines.
How can that happen?
(Anchovies: essential ingredient for broth, 4kg will be cleaned)
You should've bought the right one.
(After staff training)
Now that it's evening...
(The boss exempts himself.)
Okay then, how about this Su Geun?
Fire tteokbokki, jjajang tteokbokki, and guksu...
We need to do all three, right?
Since all six of us...
- are going to tackle it... - Right.
- If you disagree, - You go first.
don't keep it to yourself. Say you disagree.
If you tell us what...
the right price is, we'll talk about it.
How can none of them have no excrement?
We're talking about the price.
How can this happen?
All of the excrement...
It's not excrement. It's intestines.
It's not excrement, right?
Why call it excrement?
(They all have intestines.)
(Back to the discussion)
- Can I go first? - Yes.
Noodles are actually...
Whatever ingredient you add,
it's not expensive food.
It's light food.
That's right.
That's why I want to serve it on the house.
I have the same idea.
Kang's Kitchen can do that as an event.
Free noodles for the first 100 people.
Really?
Everyone thinks differently.
Foot noodles.
Foot noodles?
I don't want to have that.
It tastes like noodles.
One tastes like noodles!
So tastes like noodles.
Handmade, foot-made, nicely-made. Made, made, made.
Kim Guk Hwan fell in love with the taste.
If you don't know me,
How would I know you?
You go, noodles.
(You go, noodles.)
You go, noodles.
- You go, noodles. - You go.
If they order more, say, "You had enough."
(If they order more, say, "You had enough.")
There's no more for you.
You had enough.
One more noodles, please.
- You had enough. - That's good.
- You go. - You go, noodles.
You go, noodles.
(You go, noodles: 5 dollars)
(Quatro fried tteokbokki: 9.20 dollars)
(Funny jjajang tteokbokki: 3.80 dollars)
(Amazing crispy rise patbingsu: 8 dollars)
(Banging noise)
(A familiar sound)
(1 year ago, Jeju Island)
(They minced pork very hard.)
(Now, he's beating the cookie dough.)
(For multiple times,)
(they will go all night long.)
(It's not easy.)
You have to make it flat after maturing it?
Then you open the wrap.
- Roll? - Yes, roll.
We'll call you when we cut the dough after rolling it.
(11pm, a long time before they went to bed)
(Thump)
What?
(Kneading time)
(What?)
One of you should...
Take this and...
(Nobody can go to bed.)
(Washing his hands)
(He starts making the dough just as he did during the day.)
Good.
You have to put in care.
It's a skill.
(Like this)
- My goodness. - You'll do that for 10 days?
(Difficulty expected)
(Dough 50 percent ready)
You can't go anywhere.
(You can't go anywhere. Foot-kneading begins.)
(They quickly get romantic.)
Ask him how his day was or something.
- Right. - How was your day?
I see. I see.
- Was the water right? - It was just right.
- Right? - Did you measure it?
- Yes. - So you measured it from now on.
(You take charge of the water for the dough.)
(He gives more work to do instead of complimenting him.)
I saw our show yesterday.
In Manjaedo,
you and I slept together.
- Why would you watch that again? - You and I did.
I was going to kick the ball high, but it came higher than expected.
This position is more comfortable.
Right?
(1st position change)
How long do we do this?
Did he really tell us to do this?
How do you know when it's done?
(You don't.)
Isn't it up to you to decide?
How do you know?
- You don't like this? - No.
- I like this. - It's a good opportunity.
(2nd position change)
They keep on...
- Su Geun will get exhausted. - It gets boring when you do this.
Am I not just the right height to hold onto?
- It's so nice. - Right.
It's the perfect grip.
(Massage or torture?)
We can do this.
(3rd position change)
Look over here.
(Taking a photo)
(End of kneading noodle dough, 12:30am)
(Team Dessert's ambitious menu)
(The recipe will be revealed next week.)
(The night goes by.)
(And it's morning.)
(Everyone is still asleep.)
Turn it off.
(Let's sleep a bit more.)
(He doesn't trust himself with the alarm.)
Su Geun.
- Yes. - Let's get up.
Get up.
Let's start the business.
Yes, let's get up.
(Laughing)
(Ho Dong)
(P.O says good morning.)
(Carefully carrying the dough and the anchovies)
(Let's hurry.)
You weren't out yet?
(Playing innocent)
- Let's go. - Let's get it.
Kang's Kitchen.
(Kang's Kitchen)
(Before we go)
(They stop at the market.)
- We're here. - It's not ready yet.
(Preparation complete)
(4 hours before opening)
(They're determined.)
(Coming in!)
(First of all)
(Wearing an apron)
(Wearing bandanas)
(Red bandana for willpower)
It looks like a Chinese restaurant with this red bandana.
(He's sensitive about his colors.)
We should have the same colors.
(They all wear black bandanas.)
What should we do about that? Boss Kang.
- What? - Shouldn't we write down...
the menu and prices?
We have it here.
- You finished it already? - Of course.
- We can use that then. Okay. - I don't resent you
Your voice tones sound irritated.
No, it's the tone of "I don't resent you."
Control your voice tones.
No irritation.
P.O.
The recipe is saving us.
(They're reliant on the recipe.)
(Making the broth)
(Garlic)
(Anchovies)
(Scallions)
(Large-eyed herring)
(Onion)
(Red pepper)
(Following the recipe)
Show me your deep flavor.
(Releasing deep flavor)
What should I do first?
How about cutting first and peeling the sweet potatoes?
I'll peel the sweet potatoes and the carrots.
(P.O starts to peel everything.)
- MINO. - Yes.
Did we bring the cookies?
- We did. - Where is it?
(The cookies they brought with care.)
(None of them is broken.)
It's 18.
- How many are they? - They're...
- It's only 10? - 18.
Only 10?
18. There are 18.
(Artist Song's task)
(Handmade menu)
(Hangs it on the wall)
(Feeling proud)
(The menus are still in the making.)
(But they'll have more soon.)
(First day of business)
(4 hours until opening)
(Su Geun is doing his 23rd chore.)
Team Kitchen, when you get tired,
look out the window at the tiled roof.
It looks nice.
(Laughs)
Look at the evergreen too.
All of a sudden, he's...
The meaning of the evergreen...
is that it's always the same.
Even Team Kitchen is...
(3 hours and 50 minutes until opening)
- P.O. - Yes.
When you tried yesterday,
did you have to cut these as a whole?
(He needs lots of scallions for garnish.)
Wash these for me.
What?
What will you do when I'm washing that?
(Feeling guilty)
Okay.
(He does it himself.)
P.O, can you hold this for me?
How big?
It has to be thin. It's for garnish.
- Like this? - That's too thick.
- A bit thinner. - Yes, it's garnish.
Yes.
(His cutting skill invites criticism.)
Shouldn't you do two at a time?
Do two at a time.
(Stubbornly does 3)
(Gosh)
I can do 3 too. Okay, I'll do 2.
(He looks a bit upset.)
Two is much easier.
(But he listens to them.)
As thin as possible? Okay.
(Actual speed)
(Ho Dong is doing his best.)
(Come on)
I'm going to be bored to death.
(A moment later)
(Su Geun is doing his 26th chore.)
(1 scallion in 15 seconds)
That sounds nice.
(The same scallion)
(He's a professional.)
- That was fast. - I told you.
This is nothing. You can't do it all day.
Doing it 1 by 1. Gosh.
(Full of scallion)
(P.O's job: peeling carrots and sweet potatoes for Jae Hyeon)
I have to do this everyday?
Jae Hyeon.
- Yes? - I peeled all of it.
- I'll help Ho Dong. - Okay.
(P.O's job: cuting crown daisy for Ho Dong)
(Cutting sound)
(2 containers of crown daisy in no time)
(Helps him with the fried tofu for garnish)
Hey.
(Fried tofu and crown daisy by P.O, scallion by Su Geun)
(Real-name service for ingredients)
Doesn't it feel good when these are full?
- Oh, yes. - It cheers you up.
You have to grind sesame too.
(Does it himself)
That smells nice.
(3 hours and 30 minutes until opening)
(Jae Hyeon...)
(is making jjajang sauce.)
(This time he made sure...)
(to add thick soy sauce.)
(Pouring)
Jjajang is done.
(Jjajang sauce is done.)
It smells good.
Of course.
(Preparing the fries)
- MINO. - Yes.
When Jae Hyeon does it in a moment,
we have to cut this together.
Just like cabbage.
What are they doing in the hall?
(Team Hall is also cutting carrots and sweet potatoes.)
Team Cafe helped us.
Thank you.
The rice is cooked amazingly.
(Su Geun is doing his 32nd chore.)
I'll mix it and give them a spoon each.
(Making staff's breakfast)
This is the best. No sesame oil, even.
(Feeling sentimental)
(Pepper paste and rice)
(Boss first)
I only added pepper paste.
You need some carbohydrate.
You need carbohydrates.
(Carbohydrate is essential if you want to work.)
- P.O, do you need help? - What?
Do you need help?
- Should I cut scallions? - The beet.
Grind the beet for me.
How do you do it?
It's my first time seeing a beet.
I eat beet juice often.
(It's their first time meeting.)
- P.O. - Yes.
- I have to know how. - Do it here.
It has a lot of skin.
How do you peel it well?
Cut it, cut it. Cut the beet.
- Beet. - Beet.
(Not that beet)
So clean.
(Soap)
(Ho Dong focuses on cutting the beet.)
You give it to him.
I put it there to use it with you.
(The pepper paste rice that was left over)
(Eating without focus)
I'm hungry. I need to survive.
(Survival game, Kang's Kitchen)
Isn't it pretty good?
(Gazing)
Make it.
Do you want some?
- What? - Do you want some?
Of course.
You eat it.
(I eat it...)
Su Geun, we have to finish by 10:30am...
so we can eat.
You ate already.
(You ate the pepper paste rice.)
- We ate already? - Yes.
Our meal...
Should I cook rice?
Do you want help?
You have to cut them.
(Ji Won tries cutting scallions.)
- The beet. - Get the beet.
(His cutting skills scare you.)
(Kang's Kitchen is insured against various accidents.)
Hey, I can't cut this.
I can only cut it thick.
That's okay. It'll go in tteokbokki.
Really?
Is there anything else?
Something else? Sing me a song.
(No)
(He decides to wash the spinach.)
(The Swedish grandma...)
(takes charge of the beet.)
(He's too aggressive.)
I'm sorry, tray. Sorry.
- I liked your apology. - I'm sorry, tray.
(You must've been surprised)
(It wasn't intentional)
(I mean it)
You idiot.
(Amidst this chaos, they prepare the ingredients for frying.)
Jae Hyeon's food is...
The cost of labor is too high.
It's not the issue of material cost, but the cost of labor.
We should've charged more for tteokbokki.
Sincerity, my foot.
(We give our sincerity)
National program
(We love tvN.)
(Boss Kang prepares the noodles.)
(After all the hard work he put in yesterday,)
(he successfully gets smooth, carpet-like dough.)
- Gosh, that's gorgeous. - Isn't it?
Yes.
(The broth is ready.)
(He carefully tastes it.)
(It's good!)
Let me make two bowls right now...
and feed them.
(He's flustered.)
Soy sauce.
You didn't make it?
I knew I was missing something.
(He's at the age of being forgetful.)
(Make it.)
I can't believe I didn't make it.
(Laughing)
- It's a moderate mistake. - Yes, you can make it right now.
(The soy sauce is boiling.)
(This is a MacGuffin that'll stir up ominousness.)
Should I use this? This one?
(The real issue is located somewhere else.)
The drain is clogged.
Darn it.
(Su Geun's sink is clogged.)
You just put everything in here.
What should we do?
We didn't put this in here beforehand.
(Meanwhile, the soy sauce is made.)
Su Geun, are you ready?
That's not the problem right now.
There's a problem with the drain.
- What is this? - What's wrong?
Who peeled beets here?
(Suspect)
- Beets? - Was it Boss Kang?
My goodness.
I see. It was Boss Kang. It's understandable.
This is a huge problem.
I can't do the dishes. The staff went to buy a plunger.
He put the beets in the drain.
- That's what happened. - Is the guksu ready?
Yes, it is. Let me taste it.
- This is bad. This is really bad. - Bring the chopsticks.
- We'll start in one minute. - This is serious.
- Should I serve pickled radish? - Yes.
Okay.
(Meanwhile, Ho Dong is unaware of this situation.)
(He prepares the noodles.)
(Su Geun has nothing to do.)
Okay.
(Su Geun has nothing to do.)
(He's the prime suspect.)
(He doesn't know what to do.)
Tell the repairman to come as soon as possible.
Gosh, I'm doing my best here.
Why did you throw away the beets in there?
- I did it. - They clogged the drain.
Don't you know washing the dishes is of utmost importance?
Anyone can cook.
The noodles have changed in color.
Yes, they have.
(Nevertheless, the guksu looks scrumptious.)
(He makes two bowls.)
- Here. - Thank you for the meal.
- Look at this. - It looks like the ones...
you'd have in the countryside.
It's good.
Can I wash the dishes here?
- Just leave them there. - What?
- Leave them. - It's okay.
- I'll do it. - No, we'll do it.
- I'll be quick. - Don't clog this one too.
I didn't do that. Don't blame me.
- If you clog this one as well... - You...
(Summer is approaching.)
(It's the best weather to get into fights.)
- The beets... - You are...
The beets are stuck inside.
I'm sure someone mistakenly put them in.
I didn't clog it on purpose!
You punk!
I wasn't going to say this.
(Exclaiming)
I need to be considerate and respectful. I'm doomed.
I'm done for.
(Exclaiming)
- He shouldn't test me, right? - You're right.
What you said upset me too.
You told me not to clog this one too.
P.O asked me to grind the beets, so that's what I did.
My gosh.
My goodness.
Su Geun, I love you.
Look at him ignoring me. I know he heard me.
It's like he's testing me on purpose.
He wants me to deny it. Su Geun.
Darn it.
(1 hour before opening)
Who's going to fix it? We need to dismantle the sink.
It wasn't me.
We need to fix it.
I need to do the dishes, but the water isn't going down.
How am I to wash the dishes? This is driving me insane.
I love you.
- You can't unclog it? - No, it's impossible.
I think it got clogged from too many peels.
- Peels of what? - They don't melt. I mean, beets.
(It's the disgusting beets again.)
- What did you peel them there? - Exactly.
Didn't you tell me to peel them there? There was a filter.
- So what did I do so wrong? - Did the filter disappear?
I guess someone removed it.
I'm too worked up right now.
When I was doing the dishes, I removed the filter once.
The filter ruined us.
Perhaps, the beets went in then.
I noticed him.
He looked a bit aloof.
He was reading my face.
- Oh, my gosh. - Beets.
Gosh, something big must've gone in here.
The water isn't going down at all.
- I'm sorry. - Did you do this?
- I think so. - Right? It was you, right?
Boss Kang, I'm sorry.
MINO confessed that it was him.
(I'm sorry for blaming you.)
No, it's all right. Let's just say it was my fault.
- No, it was my doing. - I feel better if I'm scolded.
It was my fault. It was.
I kept getting scolded,
so he didn't look too good.
He kept talking about it.
MINO did lift the filter.
He felt guilty.
Goodness.
(He felt too guilty not to confess.)
(Here's the truth.)
(MINO was helping Su Geun with the dishes.)
(After washing all the dishes,)
(he did remove the filter.)
(However,)
(he didn't turn the faucet on.)
(In fact, he threw away the beets with his own hands.)
(It wasn't specifically anyone's fault.)
(A piece just happened to fall into the sink.)
(They need to fix the sink before business starts.)
We need to open this.
- Let's just call a repairman. - No, I can do this.
(- Should we trust him? - Yes.)
I'll... I'll fix it!
I need to rescue my boss from getting scolded...
because of the beets.
(He places a pail under the sink.)
Are you ready?
(He removes the hose...)
(and lets the water flow out.)
(Water gushes out.)
More, more.
- Give it to me right now. - Okay.
It's going to spill!
(It's chaos.)
There's a lot coming out.
- No! - Why?
Come on, Su Geun.
Here it is. Look at this beet.
(He finds the piece.)
Do you see that?
(Drop the "beet".)
It came out.
(He gets his job back.)
- That was nice. - I did it.
I did it.
How could that one piece clog the drain?
Thank you. I'm sorry you had to go through this because of me.
I'll be more careful.
(Soon after)
(Ho Dong helps out with the dishes.)
- I'll do it. - This is nothing.
Su Geun banned you from doing the dishes.
He said you'll clog it again.
- Darn it! Let me do it! - Let me.
I'm all done.
Boss Kang. Boss Kang.
There's no Boss Kang here.
(Kang's Kitchen is peaceful today as well.)
(15 minutes before opening)
You multiplied this by two, right?
- Yes. And then I added it. - 2 patbingsu are 16 dollars.
No, you didn't add it to the previous one!
Look.
Are they fighting?
(He hears fighting noises.)
Those two need to fight a set amount of times every day.
Just do it like that.
- How? - Here, let me explain again.
(While they're fighting,)
(Ho Dong is done preparing everything.)
(The broth is about to boil.)
(Jae Hyeon is also finished...)
(and makes the quatro fries.)
(Anything that's fried is delicious.)
(This large piece of fry is cooked well.)
(It's quite a large amount.)
(He's a workaholic.)
(Team Hall is also getting ready to greet their customers.)
Kang's Kitchen will always be considerate and respectful. 1, 2, 3.
- Let's go! - Let's go!
(Just when they're about to open...)
We have a problem.
(This is the sight outside the restaurant on May 4th.)
(The end of the queue can't be seen.)
There are 10,000 people out there.
10,000?
(There are almost 10,000 people waiting to get their tickets.)
I think we need to open for dinner as well.
(Notice: Kang's Kitchen was supposed to only open for lunchtime.)
(But due to so many customers, we've decided to serve dinner as well.)
(Thank you. From the head office.)
- We should do it. - What?
- We ought to. - We'll serve dinner as well today.
- We have no choice. - Right.
- 2, 3. Let's go. - Let's go.
- Right? - Yes.
I don't have enough cookies.
They're all waiting.
That's the issue. It's not just about serving dinner.
- It's the lack of ingredients. - We don't have enough ingredients.
- Some might not eat well. - Then...
We should buy more then.
How much broth do you have?
That's the problem.
Right.
We didn't expect this.
Or we could order-in and...
(The restaurant is finally open for business.)
(The customers have arrived.)
There are two groups.
- They're not inside, right? - Not yet.
Look professional once they come in.
Emphasize that...
we immediately prepare the noodles...
once we receive the orders.
- Okay? - Yes.
- Yes. - Yes
- No, no. - The bowls are here.
- No. - They're in here.
That's not important right now.
- The bowls aren't important? - Tell the customers that we make...
You mean, the noodles are made on the spot.
What kind of restaurant prepares the noodles beforehand?
They all do that. If not, the noodles will get soggy.
- Do they all do that? - Of course.
(Don't fight.)
(Pat, pat, pat with love)
(Pat, pat, pat with happiness)
We need to make more of this.
(Pat, pat, pat with love)
(Ji Won is in charge of opening the restaurant.)
(The doors are wide open.)
(He forgets to flip the sign.)
We'll open now.
- All right. - Here we go!
- Are you ready? - Come on in!
- Kang's Kitchen is open! - Open!
Come on in!
- Welcome! - Welcome!
- Thank you for waiting. - Come on in.
- Welcome! - Hello.
Don't run. You'll trip again.
- Here's the menu. - Over there?
- Give them the menu, please. - Here's the menu.
- Give them water too. - Hello.
You can take your time.
- Hello. - Give them some cups.
We'll give them cups.
(Thank you for your smiles.)
Hello. Hi.
Hello. Here's your menu.
Welcome!
(After greeting the customers, they focus on their jobs.)
What? What? What? What? What?
(The noodles are crushed.)
What? What? What? What? What?
(The noodles are crushed.)
What's going on?
Maybe you set it to cut.
It does this at a certain angle.
(He's trying to grasp the situation.)
We're in trouble.
We can't do business today.
(Kang's Kitchen is suffering from a crisis.)
(The sensitive noodle-making machine)
(A crisis has hit them sooner than they expected.)
Get the dough ready again.
What's wrong?
- The noodles aren't coming out. - The machine is acting up.
This is unexpected.
I'm sure it'll work out. You can do it.
(It's nerve-racking.)
Don't be flustered.
We can make this work.
(Mr. Noodle-Making Machine, Personality: Sensitive)
(The machine is being difficult.)
But... Right, you should order one each.
(Menu: garak guksu, tteokbokki, Amazing patbingsu)
(Among these three, garak guksu is facing difficulties.)
Tteokbokki with quatro fries is a limited edition.
The fries are of four different colors.
There are four different colors. You'll be surprised.
That's a total of three servings. It'll be a sufficient amount.
Two forks?
One dessert, amazing crispy rice patbingsu.
This one's interesting.
Anything else?
The patbingsu will come out later, right?
Of course.
All right.
1 quatro and 1 garak guksu.
How many servings of noodles do I need to prepare?
2 tables ordered it, so you should prepare 2 servings.
We received a total of three quatros.
- Three quatros? - Yes.
Don't be rude.
- What? - What?
Let's not be rude in the kitchen.
- Who was being rude? - Who was being rude?
- Be respectful. - All right.
- Happy kitchen. - I'm a bit flustered.
(Boss Kang is tense.)
Happy kitchen.
We need seven fish cakes.
Yes.
(Add rice cakes, fish cakes, and sausages...)
(into the spicy sauce and boil.)
(He adds a fistful of scallion.)
(The soupy tteokbokki doesn't take long to cook.)
(The quatro fries are fried once again.)
(He puts it over the soupy tteokbokki.)
Let them see the sausages.
Yes.
That was our first tteokbokki with quatro fries.
Here's tteokbokki.
- What? - Here's tteokbokki.
What? We need to serve garak guksu first.
- Hold on. - Wait.
(They care more about the speed than the order.)
- The first dish is... - Tteokbokki!
This is called tteokbokki with quatro fries...
- because of the 4 colors. - 1, 2, 3, 4.
(Everyone is taken aback by the size.)
You can get a taste...
- of the tteokbokki. - Enjoy.
There's pork belly.
There's everything. The pork belly is in there.
You can cut the fries.
I'll give you bowls.
Bowls.
You've prepared jjajang tteokbokki, right?
Not yet. Why?
We need one.
(There is a young lady...)
(who cannot eat spicy food.)
Okay. I can cook them simultaneously.
(He cooks two dishes at once.)
(He's a master of double pans.)
- It's this one, right? - Yes, take that.
(The soupy tteokbokki is ready.)
(He's adept at simultaneous cooking.)
(He lets the fiery taste seep in.)
(Once it's seasoned well, he pours it into a bowl.)
(Funny jjajang tteokbokki is ready.)
(The three quail eggs are the cherry on top.)
This is for the children.
It's hot, so be careful.
Enjoy.
It's jjajang tteokbokki.
I'm so curious. Let's watch their facial expressions.
- Let's watch. - Okay.
(They take a brief rest.)
They were starving.
1 more jjajang tteokbokki for table 1.
(Once they receive orders,)
(they go back to their places.)
(They're strict about what they do.)
Blow on it first.
Try it. It's probably tasty.
I'm waiting for your review.
- How is it? - It's good.
Is it? I'm so relieved.
They like the jjajang tteokbokki!
- Okay. - Thank you.
If a kid likes it, that means it's really good.
Enjoy.
- Yes. - He complimented it twice.
It's good.
Is it? Eat up.
(Munching)
(She gives it the thumbs up.)
(Meanwhile,)
(Ho Dong is preparing the noodles.)
(The machine is acting up again.)
(His 2nd attempt has...)
(also gone to waste.)
(On his 3rd try, however,)
(he gets it to work once again.)
This is a problem.
(He needs to boil the noodles.)
(He suddenly goes in reverse.)
(He takes out the bowls...)
(that Su Geun emphasized about.)
(Be calm.)
Ho Dong, go slowly.
Everything's fine. Don't worry.
(He performs self-hypnosis while making them.)
(He completes one step after another.)
(He's careful not to make any mistakes.)
(He hold his breath for no reason.)
(Exhaling)
(He holds his breath once again.)
(Exhaling)
(He adds the garnish carefully.)
(He carefully adds them one at a time.)
Laver, laver, laver.
Yes, I know.
(Ji Won is trying his best not to get irritated.)
You can go slowly. They can wait.
Don't be in a hurry, Ho Dong.
You're the only one panicking.
(Ji Won approaches him.)
Why are you hastening?
Just do it like you did before.
- Right. - Just like yesterday.
- Do it like that. - Right.
Ho Dong, you're too tense.
- Yes. - Right.
Good.
- You're doing so well. - I just need to put this here.
It's the perfect pace.
I just need to put this on top.
Good.
(Smiling)
(Garak guksu is finally ready.)
This is our first serving of garak guksu.
Enjoy. It's hot, so be careful.
The noodles were made not too long ago.
Enjoy.
I gave it my all.
- Thank you. - I did my best.
(Boss Kang returns victoriously.)
(He needs to keep an eye on them so they won't overflow.)
(Ho Dong needs time to adapt.)
Enjoy.
(She tries the garak guksu.)
The noodles are really firm.
(She tries the broth first.)
(Savoring)
(She puts down the spoon...)
(and ties her hair.)
(She wants to focus only on eating.)
The noodles are good.
That's good.
They made it.
(She takes a bite of the fries.)
Is it good?
(Savoring)
This is just my style.
The fry is humongous.
(Kang's Kitchen is suffering from a crisis.)
(Overflow of customers)
Welcome, is it just you two?
(More and more customers come.)
One garak guksu.
One tteokbokki with quatro fries.
- Are these the only dishes? - Yes.
- We'd like them all. - Sorry?
We'd like all three of them.
Two garak guksu.
- 2 garak guksu. - 2 garak guksu.
(The dishes start to come out faster.)
Try some.
- I'll bring out some bowls. - Okay.
I can't stop eating.
- Quatro tteokbokki. - Quatro!
- Here's the quatro. - It's here.
(A quatro has left)
Are they saying that we got another order?
Yes.
(A misunderstanding occurs.)
(They were just singing a song.)
- Here, Ji Won. - Which table is this for?
(He serves another dish.)
(All the tables have one.)
- They're all served one. - Really?
MINO.
You need to stop making mistakes.
Don't keep a straight face.
Everyone is doing their best.
I'm sorry. It was me who kept a straight face.
It was me who kept a straight face.
You kept a straight face.
I should leave the hall.
- You're already in a mess here. - No, it's okay.
It's nice weather.
(He did, indeed, leave the hall.)
- Hello, ma'am. - Hello.
You should come for a bowl of guksu...
But you won't be served any.
I'll come to you.
I think that's better.
It's too chaotic in here.
- Garak guksu. - There's one more tteokbokki.
- No. - No, they're all served.
- What? - Someone ordered one more.
- They just ordered. - We got it.
I have nothing to do for now, right?
You should make some more dough while you have the time.
Or prepare more noodles.
They'll keep coming.
- Welcome. - Welcome.
Four people?
Have you not prepared the noodles yet?
Hello!
- It won't take long. - Hello.
(Please pay more attention to me.)
I didn't time it. What should I do?
How long do you think it's been?
What do you think?
You don't remember either, do you?
Goodness, what should I do?
1, 2... What should I do?
(Thankfully, the noodles are fine.)
This is a good vibe.
The garak guksu is ready.
(After sending them away,)
(he gets a brief moment of rest.)
Do you want some guksu? I have some leftovers.
(He can't stop working.)
Our staff is important as well.
You guys need to be fed well.
Give me some chopsticks.
I'm going to feed the staff.
- What? - Wait.
You're going to feed the staff?
Did you ruin the noodles?
You shouldn't do that.
That means one of our customers won't be having any.
Darn it.
(Laughing)
(Ho Dong doesn't know what to do.)
These noodles are thicker.
Our boss is having it.
(He eats more than the customers do.)
Are you eating that?
- Well... - You should focus on selling them.
I had some leftover... It's over... It's...
(Laughing)
- Do you want some? - What did you just say?
Did you make it?
(Kang's Kitchen is suffering from a crisis.)
(Exhaustion of ingredients and stamina)
(The restaurant is teeming with more and more customers.)
(Crouching)
(Jae Hyeon is covered in flour.)
Jae Hyeon is so busy.
He has too much to do.
He really does.
It feels like...
If there's not enough batter, he needs to peel the vegetables...
and put them in.
(In the end,)
(his legs give out.)
Where is it? What should I do? I'm so lost.
I don't know which order would be the most efficient.
- When working? - What?
I don't know what should come first.
Cleaning the tables,
wiping them,
- or taking the bowls... - We need to do all of them,
so it's all the same.
- Oh, no. We need milk. - What?
I need to measure the amount of milk.
(He's running out of milk.)
Oh, no. We have no chopsticks.
We don't?
There's not much broth left.
(There's only a little bit left.)
- Did you run out of rice cakes? - Yes.
- Hey. - Yes.
(The rice cakes are running out.)
We need to make the tteokbokki sauce too.
Mr. Baek guaranteed that we wouldn't be able to sell all of that.
- But did you? - We did.
I need to make more now.
(He's out of his mind.)
(I'm not crying.)
(My eyes are just watering.)
I need to brew the anchovies.
This is bad.
What's wrong with me?
(Kang's Kitchen 2)
MINO. P.O.
I need to serve them in those bowls. I forgot.
Oh, no. This isn't right.
We have no utensils.
We have no more scallions either.
Ji Won, even if we use this,
- we can't sell three servings. - What?
What is it? Did you break it again?
Where's everyone?
Someone needs to take the order. They all just came in.
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
You didn't even wipe the tables.
- Come on. - They've sat down.
Take the order for table three.
- Why didn't you write which table? - Table three.
I'm so frustrated.
Did we serve two bowls of garak guksu?
- We did. - Then you should put a check here.
There are only five tables. How could you forget?
It's not like that.
You should check this for us.
No one told me.
We can't allow him to get upset like that.
I can't say anything because there are so many customers.
Through this process, we can get high-quality noodles.
Slowly.
Do you need any help?
Thanks to P.O, things are so much easier.
I'll send this over.
Hello.
- It's not ours. - Then whose?
Where's table four?
- It's where the couple is. - What?
- The couple. - The couple?
Bring this out first.
Serve table six, please.
- Table six. - We need to serve this.
They liked kimchi rice the most.
It's all right, Ho Dong.
Your guksu is fine.
Your guksu is tasty.
Recommend the guksu.
I don't want to force them.
If it'll go on like this, you can prepare dinner tomorrow...
at our accommodation.
Hello.
Could you tell us the recipe right now?
- Write them down. - Your ideas.
Let's go.
I will go and make sure to find Mr. Baek's broth.
Okay.
