An Ordinary Trainee’s Tteokguk Making (ENGLISH TRANSLATION) Part 2of 2

As I was eating, I realized it was a lot.

So I woke up Namjoon to eat together.

He complimented it, saying it was delicious.

I’m happy!

But wait a second…

What about the dishes?

What do you mean, ‘what about them’? Gotta make the youngest do it!

But I felt bad halfway through, so I took over midway…

But I think the belly button ended up bigger than the belly…

The ingredients cost over 30,000 won. I had to buy salt, green onions, and eggs.

ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Mom, can I have some allowance…?

And I love you, Mom, for making tteokguk for us every Lunar New Year.”

(Ending on a heartwarming note.)

An Ordinary Trainee’s Tteokguk Making (ENGLISH TRANSLATION) Part 1 of 2

Jin Bangtan Blog 2013.1.27

On January 1st, my mom went to the countryside, so I couldn’t eat tteokguk.

But if I don’t eat tteokguk, my mom will be sad, so I decided to make it myself.

As soon as I woke up, I woke up the youngest, who always helps me with my cooking.

They didn’t want to, but I forced them to wake up because I needed to take pictures.

Time to make tteokguk and get a year older! Let’s go!

First, I went to buy ingredients. Got everything.

Happened to wake up at 5:30 AM and went to buy the ingredients.

But there was no tteokguk rice cakes, so I bought tteokbokki rice cakes instead.

When I gathered all the ingredients, they looked pretty.

I wondered why the apple was there, so I just ate it.

Making the seasoning sauce.

Mixing it.

Coated the meat with the seasoning sauce and threw it into the frying pan.

Then, I threw the rice cakes and dumplings into the beef bone broth.

Forgot to take process shots.

Once it boils vigorously, add green onions.

But there weren’t enough green onions, so I quickly chopped and added more.

By the way, isn’t the leopard-print pajamas I got as a gift cool?

But with the subtitles added, it kinda looks like a bishoujo dating simulation game.

Except, I’m not a bishoujo.

Anyway, let’s keep going!

(note: Bishoujo (美少女) is a Japanese term that means “beautiful young girl.” It is often used in anime, manga, and games to describe attractive, youthful female characters.)

Cutting the egg garnish I made earlier.

Suddenly, the seaweed popped out.

Final topping shot complete.

Tasted it.

It tasted just right.

Took a picture of our youngest tasting it.

But since the photo was taken right after waking up and didn’t look great, I applied a soft-focus effect.

All done.

First, I scooped out the dumplings.

Placed the meat, egg garnish, and green onions on top, then sprinkled seaweed flakes.

It’s complete! Looks delicious, right?
