[Rabokki (mild flavor) – ★★★★☆]
[Clumsy red pepper paste and sharp red pepper powder meet rice cake and fish cake. Plus, ramen noodles well-simmered in tteokbokki broth! A snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages as the sauce is not spicy. Eggs that are mixed but not crushed are also a delicacy.]
ㅡTiring!
[This is a food whose recipe has already been learned.]
[Past recipes recommend cheese, fries, sundae, etc. as toppings.]
A system message appears as soon as you place Rabokki on a large plate. This time, the food was below 5 stars.
“… “Again?”
I wasn’t expecting much, but I felt drained.
The harsh evaluation makes me tilt my head.
For some reason, it seems like the standards for cooking have become stricter since coming to Earth.
This is what I felt while boiling ramen yesterday,
Compared to before, it was so cold.
Of course, when he was on the Drango Continent,
Even if I just made a simple dessert, I easily scored between 7 and 9 stars.
‘Ugh, that’s too much.’
Were the ingredients in the food too poor?
Or because my body changed?
Even so, I made it faithful to the basics… … .
As I look at the deliciously steaming Rabokki, I feel a sense of regret.
“… No. If you think about it calmly, there are so many delicious things in modern times than this, right?”
Perhaps, as the world has changed, the evaluation standards have also changed accordingly. It was a world overflowing with luxurious and luxurious food and desserts.
For Rabokki, which is just a snack, four and a half pieces would have been a really good deal.
-Rattle!
With these thoughts in mind, I put Rabokki on the table. They even put a ladle and tongs on it so you can eat it yourself.
“Everyone waited, right? “Eat it in moderation.”
“… “I will eat well!”
“Sung Ji-hoon cooks… … . I feel like something doesn’t match. “I’m very surprised, isn’t it?”
“How surprising is it with just tteokbokki? “How have you seen me all this time?”
“I didn’t know there would be such a family aspect~ Anyway, I had a hard time making it! “Are you going to enjoy it?”
Derke and Jeon So-rim take turns giving me Rabokki, saying they will enjoy it.
“Huh..? Monga is sticky and squishy! Plus, it’s slippery… … !?”
Derke seemed to like the ramen he ate yesterday and was mainly making ramen noodles.
Maybe it’s because it’s my first time seeing rice cake,
Derke took only a little out of courtesy.
I guess they felt repulsed because of the squishy texture.
“… “This isn’t spicy, right?”
Derke, who has put a plate full of Rabokki, carefully lifts his fork and mutters. There was some unknown wariness flowing from the guy’s eyes.
It was only natural since it was my first time encountering this food. I was really scared of the red sauce on tteokbokki.
-Slurp!
But the hesitation lasted just a moment.
Derke quickly absorbs the cotton first.
Roll it up with a fork like eating pasta.
Was it because I ate noodles two days in a row?
Derke shows off quite a skillful noodle technique.
The noodles were inhaled in one go without stopping midway.
Perhaps hunger took precedence over the fear of spicy food.
“ooot-! It’s not as spicy as you thought!? Rather sweet! If it’s this spicy, it’s perfect for Derke… … !?”
Derke, who muttered a few times, green eyes sparkling.
I think I captured the spiciness well as planned.
In a way, it was a completely natural result.
Because it contains more sugar than red pepper paste.
The lack of spiciness and richness was replaced with mild ramen soup.
“… hmm! It’s not that spicy, but it’s something I often ate when I was young, right? “It’s sweet and subtly delicious!”
Next, we hear Jeon So-rim’s evaluation.
It was a more generous evaluation than I expected.
To be honest, I thought it wouldn’t be good for Koreans who are accustomed to spicy tastes.
Maybe memory correction got involved.
“Are you both really okay? I was a little nervous because it was really simple to make… … .”
“It’s so delicious! But what is this long and round thing made of? … ?”
“huh? “Is that not a good idea?”
“At first, I was very surprised because it felt soggy, but as I ate it, it was chewy and it wasn’t as bad as I thought!”
“Hehe, then I’m glad. “That means rice cake.”
“rice cake… … ?”
“It is a traditional food ingredient made by soaking and steaming rice flour. “Once you get used to it, I’ll make you a rice cake snack next time.”
“Yep..! “The food my brother makes is always delicious!”
ㅡOmul omul omul… !
Derke nods and eats another piece of rice cake. It probably means that I liked Rabokki that much.
“Jihoon? But this… It’s really not that bad, is it? It has a mild taste that is hard to find in snack bars these days. “It’s not bad because it’s mild!”
“okay? Jeon So-rim, I thought you would like spicy and spicy tteokbokki if you like it… … .”
“It was like that when I was in my early 20s! These days, I’m taking care of it, so I only eat chicken breast every day. Actually, this is also very irritating to me right now? How long has it been since I last had rice cake and ramen? … .”
The reactions aren’t that bad.
I am also happy to see the satisfactory response.
The value of cooking did not change even after I returned.
-Slurp slurp!
ㅡssssssssssssssssssssssssh… !
As I watch them silently devouring Rabokki, I feel reassured to my core.
“… wait for a sec. Are you managing it? “Do you exercise?”
“huh. Using my body is my job, right? “I’m managing it 365 days a year just to make a living.”
“ah? Now that I think about it, what did you do? … ?”
“Ha, you really don’t know anything about me?”
“Of course. “I just said hello and passed by, so how do I know?”
“Tsk, well… … . “I have been working on the entertainment company’s choreography team since last year.”
“An agency? “Maybe an entertainment company?”
“huh. You know Attach Entertainment, right?”
“what? At that large agency, you… … ?”
Attack entertainment.
One of the top three entertainment agencies in Korea.
It was a famous place that even I, who had no interest in idols or the broadcasting industry, knew about.
It was an agency that became even more famous recently when its idol group was caught trying to outwit its CEO.
“joy. What is that surprising reaction? Okay, you still have what my mom gave you yesterday, right?”
“huh? Oh, right! Come to think of it, there was that, right?”
“what? Seong Ji-hoon, are you sure you forgot that too?”
“sorry. “I was so busy yesterday and today that I forgot.”
“Ugh, I can’t survive. Anyway, bring it. “It would be perfect to eat with Rabokki soup, right?”
“okay. wait a minute.”
-Snap!
I immediately opened the refrigerator and took out the airtight container I had received yesterday. When I took a closer look inside, I saw something wrapped in silver foil.
-Rust!
‘Oh, this can’t be right…’ … ?’
When I belatedly opened the airtight container and checked the inside of the foil, it was filled with food that no Korean would recognize.
It was black like sundae and much thicker,
The inside was filled with colorful materials.
Countless grains of rice, pickled radish, carrots, eggs, ham, and even burdock.

[Cold kimbap – ✮★★]
[A nutritious snack containing numerous ingredients in one small piece. Kimbap is more impressive than the numerous fillings, with seaweed with a strong sesame oil scent and slightly sour rice.]
[It’s not bad to eat it cold, but if you warm it up a little, the flavor of the ingredients will come back to life.]
ㅡTiring!
[Recipes for kimbap are updated.]
[Understanding of combinations and harmony between materials increases!]
What Sorim’s mother made was none other than vegetable kimbap. I immediately understand why it is said to be perfect when eaten with Rabokki soup.
ㅡBeep beep… !
I immediately took out about two rows of kimbap and put it in the microwave. I think it will return to a moderate temperature in just 20 seconds or so.
“I never dreamed that you would provide me with kimbap… … . “Thanks to your mother, I can eat more heartily, right?”
“Hehe, you’re going to say thank you to my mom in person later?”
“Oh, that’s right. Now that I think about it, it’s been a long time since I saw the owner.”
“Anyway, everyone, try it. I don’t know anything else, but my mom is good at making kimbap. Derke, you too. Do you know kimbap?”
“… Kimbap? “There was a lot of stuff inside the black thing.”
“You don’t know either. “It’s really delicious when it’s freshly made.”
ㅡTeoup!
As soon as I warm up the kimbap, everyone picks up the kimbap one by one with their chopsticks. Of course, so did I.
ㅡCrunchy! Omulmulmul… … .
As you put the kimbap in your mouth, you can hear the sound of pickled radish crunching.
Because it was refrigerated, the fluffy rice and seaweed were less fragrant, but all the ingredients blend together in the mouth to create a decent taste.
“hmm! Is this really delicious? “I should have tried it as soon as I got it yesterday.”
“Right, right? “I thought you’d like it.”
“It’s been a while since I had kimbap, but how long has it been since I’ve had real rice like this?” … .”
Even though the kimbap was refrigerated,
It was an impressive enough bite for me.
That’s because he always missed Korean food on the Drango continent.
I could have made it myself, but the texture and taste of local ingredients could never be imitated.
“Kukuk..! “Do you remember that you went to elementary school with me for a while?”
“huh? suddenly?”
“okay! Do you remember back then? “When we went on a picnic with the class, you said our kimbap was much more delicious, so you ate a lot of mine.”
“I-I…” … ?”
“What do you really remember about me?”
“As for the fact that you like tteokbokki… … .”
“joy! That’s it! Anyway, I have to stop eating this for the last time. “I ate too many carbohydrates at once.”
ㅡCow!
With those words, Jeon So-rim dips a lot of gimbap into the Rabokki soup.
The plate in front of her was already empty. It wasn’t widely spread in the first place.
“… Haap!”
It was like washing dishes with kimbap, when I wiped the sauce off the plate and ate it in one bite.
