That's a relief, that it's tasty.
Is it good? - Isn't it good?
Fried chicken. - The jjigae, the jjigae.
Tell Mihal I'm grateful to him.
That could set it off.
Before we wash up, there's something we have to do.
What is it? - What?
The makgeolli?
An important task.
Where should we do it? It's probably best outside?
Let's do it outside. - All right.
Give me what you need to bring outside.
Yong Bin, it's this.
That's the makgeolli? - Yes.
Now, everyone. - Okay.
Please wash your hands well. - Yes, ma'am.
Here's the straining cloth.
Yong Bin. - Open it?
Pour it in? - Open it and pour it in here.
"Open the entrance to the straining cloth wide,"
"pour in the makgeolli base and strain."
It smells like makgeolli. - Right.
It does smell like makgeolli. - It does.
It looks like red bean water. It smells like alcohol.
It does, right? - Yes.
Woo Shik. - Yes?
Take this. - And squeeze it.
It said to massage it. - Just squeeze it.
You can just squeeze all the liquid out.
It says to squeeze? - Yes.
I think it worked.
Squeeze, squeeze.
Let's paste the dregs on your face.
"Alcohol dregs can be pasted..." - Alcohol dregs...
"on your face as a massage tool."
We can put some on So Hee's eyelid,
and it should help lessen the swelling from her mosquito bite.
Are you allowed to drink this right away?
We should taste it. - You can drink it now,
but it's supposed to age in the fridge for 1 to 2 weeks.
Today, we should taste it though.
With ice. - Yes.
I think it'll be good.
That's it - That's perfect.
Press down on the cap until you hear the clicking sound.
That's good.
The color is really pretty though.
Isn't it? - Yes.
It makes exactly four bottles. - It's fascinating.
No, you can pour a bit more. - I think you can pour it all.
How did it come to exactly four bottles?
Let's drink what's leftover. - Okay.
That's good, right? Stop. - Stop.
Let's taste this. - Okay, okay.
Here, have a taste.
Have a taste.
It settles, like that.
They said to drink a little from the top,
then mix it with soda water or ice...
because it's a bit stronger than commercial makgeolli.
That's it.
It looks like red bean water.
When red bean shaved ice melts. - Yes, exactly.
I like makgeolli, dongdongju, and other drinks like that.
Yong Bin, it feels authentic.
It feels authentic? - Yes.
It's such a pretty color. - I know.
How is it?
What kind of taste is this?
I can feel the alcohol though.
It's strong. - Is it strong?
It tastes organic.
It feels like natural wine.
That's right. Natural wine.
I think people who don't like sweet drinks might prefer this.
They said to add soda, not just seltzer.
I think if you add soda, - That's good.
it will be perfect. - All right.
Yong Bin, add some soda.
It's good, right?
Isn't it good? - Yes.
I think it was just a flavor we weren't expecting at first,
so it caught us off guard. - I think so too.
I want a bottle to take home. - Me too.
I want to give my father one. - Sure.
My dad really likes makgeolli,
so I think he'll know as soon as he tastes it.
That it was homemade. - Okay.
Yong Bin can take a bottle, and So Hee take one for your father.
Is that all right?
The makgeolli we drink regularly...
is incredibly sweet, after all.
But I like this because it's not sweet.
Exactly.
Ours has no added chemicals.
I like it. - Yes.
It's organic.
Now that I've made it once, I think I get it.
Before, I thought it was so hard,
but now that I've done it, I know the process.
I think it's easy to make.
It's here.
The more I drink, the better it is.
Right? - Yes.
Maybe we don't really trust it...
because we made it ourselves. - You're right.
Yu Mi, but we really made makgeolli ourselves, didn't we?
We've done it all.
Now that I see this, I want to try making some myself.
I'd like to try it.
Yong Bin, you should make some at your Jeju Island house.
I don't think I can do it alone.
Call some friends over.
You can't do it alone. - It's too hard alone.
Mandarin makgeolli, or hallabong makgeolli.
I'll make some when you guys come over.
Let's do that. We can do it. We'll bring the yeast.
That's great. - Yes, it is.
Soak for 30 minutes.
I'm going to make chicken biryani.
It's an Indian dish,
and it's easy to make.
It's made with basmati rice.
I've never made this kind of rice before.
Let's just try it.
Just do it.
Basmati Rice.
It's called "the grain of the deities".
Basmati rice is rich in fiber and prevents constipation.
It's lower in calories and helps with blood sugar regulation.
Have you cooked this kind of rice before?
No, it's my first time,
but I think I can do it.
"I have more confidence in my cooking now."
Did you read my diary? - Yes.
My diary...
You did?
How embarrassing.
You're preparing in advance? - Yes.
We're not eating yet, right? - Of course not.
Woo Shik, you've started already?
Not really.
