A Good Supper (Be A Meal / Babi Dweeora / 밥이 되어라)

Did you take the secret recipe?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Give it to me.

Give me that. That belongs to Young Shin.

No. That's mine.

Is Young Shin in the family?

Can she become the family?

I gave birth to you.

I gave birth to the only descendant in your family.

That makes me part of the family. Which of us do you think is in the family?

You had me, but you're not in my family.

Why not?

You gave birth to me, but you are not my mom.

No matter how much you deny it, you're my son.

That's why I'm the owner of the booklet.

It's a losing battle since Sook Jung has the booklet.

We won't stand a chance if she pulls off the secrets in the book.

Still, we can't back out like this.

We may not have the booklet, but we know the secret recipes by heart.

How will the cooking competition go?

First, there's something I'd like to suggest.

I'll leave the restaurant if I lose.

But if I win, Young Shin...

should leave Gyung Soo for good.

Don't change your words after making that promise in front of us.

If you're not confident you can win, don't waste your time in the first place.

Okay.

We'll go best out of three.

If your two dishes win out of three rounds,

you'll be in charge of the kitchen of the Royal Palace.

They will make a Korean royal cuisine dish...

to match a different theme in each round.

The first theme is noodles, the second theme is seafood,

and the third theme will be tofu or vegetable dishes...

using zucchini, cucumbers, or eggplants.

I can't wait.

This competition is not about choosing a dish for the menu.

You'll be competing with your skill as a chef.

Don't think about the budget and do your best to show what you've got.

Let's see who is the best Korean cuisine chef.

Noodle dishes?

A noodle dish in royal Korean cuisine?

How about goldongmyeon?

Goldongmyeon?

You can think of it as royal bibimmyeon.

It's noodles you mix with a sauce, not with a broth.

These days, people think of bibimmyeon as spicy noodles mixed with gochujang.

But they used to be made with soy sauce in the past.

Let's try that.

I'll make myeonsinseollo.

Sinseollo is one of the representative royal dishes.

Is there sinseollo made with noodles?

Soak shiitake mushrooms and chop them finely.

Mix them with minced meat and season it evenly.

What vegetables should I use as a garnish?

You can use seasonal vegetables as a garnish.

For green vegetables, zucchini, cucumber, and water parsley are good.

You can add shiitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, or wood ear mushrooms.

Mix finely minced beef and finely chopped shiitake mushrooms.

Season it evenly with a meat sauce and stir-fry it with oil in a pan.

Cut a cucumber in half and slice it diagonally to salt it.

Squeeze it out and stir-fry it slightly.

Separate eggs and make thin white and yellow garnish and chop it finely.

For a sauce, add sesame oil, sesame salt, and sugar to soy sauce.

Boil a good amount of water and boil noodles until they're soft.

Rinse them with cold water several times and squeeze them dry.

Put noodles in a big bowl and mix them with the sauce.

Leave some of the meat, shiitake mushrooms, and cucumbers...

for a garnish, and mix the rest with the noodles.

Transfer the seasoned noodles into a bowl and garnish them...

with the meat and the vegetables.

With a sliced egg garnish on top, a savory, delicious goldongmyeon is done.

Put steamed meat and raw meat on the bottom of a sinseollo bowl.

Put various ingredients around the circle, add a hot broth, and boil it.

Boil wheat noodles and dip them in a preheated broth.

Put them in a bowl and serve with sinseollo.

When sinseollo gets cooked, you'll put the soup and vegetables...

in the noodles to eat all together.

Today, we have famous Korean cuisine columnists...

and those who are often invited to Korean cuisine competitions as judges.

I expect you to make a fair judgment.

Let them in if they're ready.

They look so delicious.

All right. Give them a taste.

What are the results?

They liked Young Shin's goldongmyeon because it was pleasant and savory,

but all four of them said Aunt's myeonsinseollo was better...

as it was more traditional.

No one said Young Shin's goldongmyeon was better.

It's 4 to 0.

Then, Sook Jung won this round.

What's the next theme?

The next theme is seafood.

I'm thinking of making honghapcho.

I'll make gungjungjeonbokjjim.

I'll look forward to it.

It was 4 to 0. Can you believe it?

I didn't know Sook Jung was that great at Korean royal dishes.

Young Shin was way out of her element.

She was forgiven for giving birth to a son and now gained a reputation as a chef.

Besides, Jong Gwon is sick.

Sook Jung is in such luck.

You said my reputation as the best Korean cuisine chef is overrated?

You're the overrated dog that barks but doesn't bite.

Why don't you wave a white flag and just stop here?

You want to take revenge for your mother?

Too bad. You were not born to be my match.

Don't be cute with me and prostrate yourself before me.

How did it go?

All four of them picked Mrs. Choi's myeonsinseollo.

I lost by 4 to 0.

All four of them?

The power of the booklet is amazing.

I've never felt this satisfied in my life.

I won. I beat Young Shin.

Are you that happy to win with the booklet you stole?

Whether I stole it or not, I beat her with a dish I made.

Young Shin was arrogant because she's been a better chef than me.

How long have I put up with this? I feel so relieved.

I feel so relieved that I could fly.

You need to be humble in times like this, Aunt Sook Jung.

Now, we've blocked the possibility...

of Jong Gwon and Young Shin imagining that they're father and daughter,

and now, if Jong Gwon dies from his illness,

this enormous company will be mine.

Now,

my complex over not inheriting traditional Korean recipes is gone.

I've lived my life...

putting in blood and tears to see myself become like this.

It was for this day.

We can't just sit back and take this.

I don't see any other way.

Let's put some more work into finding ingredients.

Good ingredients always improve the flavor of food.

Good ingredients?

I'm so scared.

Why are you scared?

I'm so scared to see under my feet.

Come here. Just hold my hand tight.

It isn't scary anymore, right?

Let's take a picture.

Is that your smile?

You should smile wide.

Come on. Make a V sign.

Good. I'll give you a kiss.

That's so embarrassing.

Embarrassing? Who's watching?

Who cares if they see? We're married.

I see you really like kissing.

What? Can't I even kiss my husband?

Husband?

That's so interesting.

Husband?

Now, we need to call each other honey and darling.

That's so embarrassing. How can I call you honey and darling?

Look at that, Yong Goo.

We need to go around looking for good ingredients,

so I'm planning to close the Diner for a while.

What will people who rely on the Diner for meals do if you close shop?

Then, Mang Soon and I can just take over.

I'll help too.

Okay, Da Jung is a cook.

Don't close because you don't have anyone to cook.

Don't worry. Go and get some good ingredients.

I'll drive. Let's rent a car.

You should study. Aren't you going to college?

Will you and Young Shin going to go around just the two of you?

I'll drive.

Don't you have class?

You won't graduate medical school if you do that.

With you taking over the Diner, I can't ask for anything more.

Young Shin and I are going by ourselves.

You can't do that.

Now's not the time to worry about personal feelings.

This is an important matter for Young Shin's life.

Don't worry about the Diner. Do your best.

When are you returning?

We'll come back once we find the right ingredients.

So, are you saying you'll be gone for more than a day?

I don't know if it'll take a day or two days.

Then, I guess you'll stay somewhere.

Sure.

That can't happen. Take Da Jung with you.

I don't know how long it'll take. I can't leave it to Mang Soon and Se Jin.

- There needs to be a certified cook. - Then, I'll follow you.

Are you that vulnerable?

What?

Are you that anxious?

If you're that vulnerable, how can you be Young Shin's man?

I told you Young Shin's life is on the line.
