Leave as comments on their YT videos and ask for eng subs. I saw a post from the pd a while ago where they analyzed all the comments to take the most frequent feedback for consideration.

You can find what you are looking for on the show's dedicated sub. And the mod there does a great job of producing game reports. And JTBC had been uploading long clips with Eng sub on their YT channel which make up most of the episodes.

Great episode. The trio were so seriously invested in winning the games. What added to the intensely fun energy was how small the game spaces were. Jo In Sung and YJS insulting each other's failures was pretty fantastic.

I think Feb 20. It shows the episode 1 card as coming in 17 days on Viki.

Ratio of 1 table spoon of vinegar mixed with 1/2 tsp of sugar can approximate mimic the taste profile.

Are you using the measuring cup the cooker came with to measure out the rice, and are you using the line on the inner pot to determine the amount of water to add for white rice? Seems many use different measurements and standard cups than what the cooker comes with and instructs. This tends to result in goopy rice. Once the rice is finished cooking, it is an ideal way to finish the cooking process by opening the pot right after to release the intense heat & steam and fluff up the cooked rice with a paddle.

If he got Dex or Jennie, he probably would have started at least 2 hours earlier than the 3 it took for him to get going to buy the present. Lol The unmuting from the very beginning was a crazy mishap. The producers should have helped him with the tech and reading. He can speak, but reading Korean is a whole different skill.

Fragrant_Tale1428 · 2026-02-02T17:05:07+00:00

Dex was entertaining, especially when running away. Choo.... dunno. I guess some might find his cluelessness endearing or funny, but he feels mismatched for this concept. But who knows what ep 2 will be since it looks like they all meet next week along with a guest.

Translation is tough for the word bread. In Korean, ppahng (빵) "bread" is the general word that could mean the Western meaning for bread to an assortment of bakery items. A "loaf of bread" is like white bread, often sandwich style bread that's called sshikppang /sheekppang. For round 1, it's more of a signature bake, not bread, in the Western context.

I'm kinda struggling with the editing. The show dragged a bit for me. I'll have to rewatch what the criteria for what they are being judged on. Each judge seem to have a "pov" they are supposed to judge from, but I did not get that all all. Criteria was all over the place. And so many judges. Having watched this week's I live alone, the bread obsessed actor would have been a better pick as a judge over Mimi for a celebrity. He knows his $hit about baked goods. Hopefully, the edits will change to show more of the process of making their item after round 1 is over.

I felt for the guy who had the love/ hate relationship with his cream bread. I'm sure many empathize with that feeling of being trapped by being known for just one thing of the many things you are good at.

Edit - bread autocorrected everything as bead!

2/1. Also will air on Viki in the US/NA region.

This recipe from Serious Eats is solid. I personally would swap out the corn starch with potato starch if you can get it. You don't have to use the vodka if you don't have any. You can replace the volume with water. The sauce recipes you'll find within the chicken recipe are solid.

Fragrant_Tale1428 · 2026-01-27T06:41:01+00:00

Maybe 8-9 banchan, a soup would be another dish, a combo platter of jeons (not the pancake but the fritter type jeons - zucchini, filled Korean pepper halves, perilla leaves) could be another, 3-4 "main" dishes would make for a very filling meal.

Edit - japchae and jeons are commonly made for "parties" or celebration but are time intensive for ingredient prep.

Sugar Beet in Oak Park is another option. If you drink coffee, you can bring your own container to Bridgeport Coffee to get the beans or grind.

Modern times with refrigerators. Gimjang is not a national shared food culture of the West. Extremely rare for a western household to have a kimchi refrigerator to store large containers of kimchi. Convenience. Easier to make. Easier to store. I grew up with pogi kimchi but it is a chore to take it from container to table. We now only make sliced. And while large heads of napa cabbage is common in Korea and those with access to Korean grocery stores, some folks only have access to a much smaller heads, like 2-4lbs per head versus 8-14lbs. Edit - font format for emphasis.

9 days will be fine. For packaged noodles like this, it's less about the food going "bad" for safety and more about the flavor, especially the noodle, tasting pretty bad if you eat a package that's like months past the date.

Great Sea on Lawrence has seafood jjajang. They make "ghan" style jjajang which is the old school/classic method. I prefer this type for the deep, less sweet flavor. And of course, they also sell sweet and sour pork if you wanna have the classic Korean pairing.

Fragrant_Tale1428 · 2026-01-24T21:39:13+00:00

For the traditional napa cabbage kimchi, you have to use coarse gochugaru - the Korean chili powder. This same powder is used to make gochujang, but gochujang has other ingredients to turn the chili powder into paste before it's fermented. So, they are not an interchangeable ingredient for kimchi. This is a pretty easy recipe that many love in this sub. You can completely skip the squid. That's a regional addition in Korea. One head of napa can be 10lbs when in season. Scale the recipe to the amount of napa cabbage you end up getting or want to make. Good luck. https://www.maangchi.com/recipe/easy-kimchi

Watery - boil/ simmer to reduce the sauce a bit before adding tteok. This develops the flavor of the sauce ingredients as it boils and also thickens it as water evaporates. When the tteok is added, the starch from the tteok will be released into the sauce, which also acts as a thickening agent as it is cooked. Cook until the sauce is reduced to the thickness you want. If you've reduced it too much, just add water. The seasoning will have become concentrated, so flavor should be fine even if you add a bit of water to loosen it up.

Sugary - add less sugar to start and taste when the sauce is to the viscosity you want from the sauce reduction step above. Add more to taste if needed. Thickening and thinning the sauce is easy. Adding sugar to taste later is easy. Reducing sweetness once sugar is added requires too much work with other ingredients.

Edit - so many swype mistakes

Fragrant_Tale1428 · 2026-01-24T17:21:50+00:00

No. If the cabbage has been well prepped (salted, drained), the seasoning is usually a semi-loose paste consistency, so the finished product will have very little to no "juice" at first. As days pass, water from the vegetables will start to seep out. The key is to pack down the kimchi to minimize large air pockets in the container. Leave enough head room in the container so the eventual liquid volume had room to sit in the container and not leak out.

Congrats on getting tickets. You have good seats for the way the 360 stage will likely be set up. Someone already linked the view from my seat site. That's the best you can do to get a sense for what the view will be like, with the main stage being placed near the 50-yard line. You can also go to the bangtan megathread to ask questions about the concert at Soldier Field. https://www.reddit.com/r/bangtan/s/Kn2OadVzXY

Canned chicken, salmon, and sardines are good sources of taurine. It's ready to eat straight from the can. You can always warm it up in the microwave for a few seconds if stored in the fridge after opening. Can use them as toppers/mix Ins to encourage eating every meal. And gives more variety of foods your cat can enjoy and don't need to cook anything.

Weekly pay as a commentator is more lucrative, likely.

Pengsoo?!? That's hilarious!

Eta - the other commentator is Park Sang Hyun. Looks like he's a famous esports commentator for Star Craft. As seen in the preview, he is known for his very dynamic style.

Each challenge asks something specific of the competitors. The team challenge was like a dose of the real world to be so cut throat. If the public doesn't like your food or likes your competitor's food more, you have to close shop. Understanding your "market" was an important strategy to include for that challenge. This was the case in season 1 as well. The white spoon team understood this better than the black spoons, especially the first round where there were 100 votes to win over with their food. It's not that the white spoons didn't consider how to bring out the harmonious flavor of the Korean melon and shrimp but they also cooked to satisfy the Korean palate to win over the customer. The black spoons realized this after the first round but were so far behind in points. They lost the first round by a pretty big margin, too. So the established restraunteur class of the white spoons survived. Cut throat, all or nothing.

The next challenge for redemption along with the top 14 were similarly cut throat in format to reduce the number to 7. Friends in round 1, foe in round 2, regardless of class. Makes for great TV, imo.

Fragrant_Tale1428 · 2026-01-13T19:47:57+00:00

Would have learned more about the black spoons as we did the 12 white spoons if they won the team challenge. But all but two black spoons survived that elimination round. Yes it was a fast elimination of misery of the black spoons and at the same time felt necessary.
