Cheat day

“Early intervention is crucial for diabetes.” “First, I’ll prescribe some medication, so take it consistently and let’s start losing weight.”

The next day, I went to the hospital.

No matter how much water I drank, my thirst was never quenched, and I frequently needed to urinate.

It is said that the dizziness, frequent fatigue, and sudden weight loss were all due to diabetes.

Hearing the explanation from the doctor made me realize how neglectful I had been towards my body all this time.

“Since you’re young, if you take good care of yourself, you’ll get better soon.” You should also start exercising. If you go outside, I will explain the diet to you.

Since I had already prepared myself to some extent, I was calmer than I expected.

As I stepped outside, the nurse guided me.

You shouldn’t consume simple sugars like sugar. You also need to be careful with salt and cholesterol. Eat plenty of dietary fiber. If you look at the booklet, it is explained in detail.

The booklet I received introduced foods to avoid and foods to be cautious about.

I understand foods like juice, chocolate, and ice cream.

I have to be careful with carbohydrates like rice, bread, and noodles, as well as fatty foods like pork belly—it’s much harsher than I expected.

“Do I have to do this for the rest of my life?”

I asked the nurse.

“It’s up to the patient, but you need to keep managing it.” As the doctor explained, you need to be careful about complications as well.

Thank you.

I got out of the hospital and took the bus to the mart near my house.

I sat down and examined the pamphlet I received from the hospital and the items I bought from the pharmacy.

The blood sugar monitor, the small notebook to record blood sugar, the medication taken every morning before breakfast, and even the diet management manual—it’s all so overwhelming.

Since I’m planning to stop ordering takeout and start cooking for myself right away, I need to check what food I can eat.

When I opened the manual, it stated the reasons for frequently checking blood sugar levels.

It is said that to control blood sugar, one must understand which foods raise blood sugar, how much they raise it, and when they raise it.

As I turned the page, there was a table summarizing what to eat and what to avoid.

“…….”

No matter how much I see it, it’s just infuriating.

I don’t understand what I’m supposed to eat if I can’t even eat fruits, fish, tofu, rice, noodles, and milk freely.

If you only eat things like cabbage, lettuce, and cucumbers, it’s no different from living like a rabbit.

I got off the bus and arrived in front of the supermarket, but I still don’t know what to cook.

I took out my smartphone to ask Jujiseung, who is good at cooking, but it happened to be broadcast time.

“Somehow, it will work out.”

As I entered the supermarket and headed towards the fresh produce section, mushrooms caught my eye.

It seems like it would be good if you grill it and dip it in salt sauce.

I wondered if there were other dishes, so I searched for mushroom recipes and found stir-fried mushrooms.

Mushrooms, garlic, oyster sauce. I don’t think we should add oyster sauce, so let’s leave it out. All you need is sesame oil and salt, right?

Since I have sesame oil and salt at home, it seems like just buying some mushrooms and vegetables would be enough, but it’s too unfair to solve a meal with just this.

It’s a side dish I wouldn’t even glance at on a normal day.

“…….”

I turned my eyes to the meat section I always visited, and an employee was grilling something.

When our eyes meet, they wave with a friendly face.

I tried to pass by, but I was drawn by the subtle fragrance and found myself heading to the meat section without realizing it.

Hello.

“Try this.” It’s so well-made that it melts in your mouth. Melting.”

It definitely looks so tender that it would melt in your mouth.

The thinly sliced red meat, like the red dress of a tango dancer, dances on the grill.

The bubbling oil is just like my heart.

I want to eat.

I want to mix it with scallion salad and savor that abundance in my mouth.

“Try eating it.”

“Ah.”

When the employee picked up a piece of brisket and brought it to his mouth, the subtle aroma of the meat hit his nostrils with a whoosh.

Thick.

I am soda. I am the beef.

One cannot help but be amazed by the strong assertion of being beef in the aroma.

I unknowingly took a bite.

“Uh.”

A healthy Hanwoo leisurely grazing on grass in the highland pasture dances before my eyes.

This brisket is definitely Hanwoo that has grown up loved by a kind-hearted gentleman from Hoengseong, Gangwon Province.

“It’s American-made, but it’s so delicious, right?”

Next to the grill, it says “American beef.”

I enjoyed the meal. But I’m on a diet, so I’ll come next time.

I barely managed to decline and was looking around for something edible when I spotted the soybean meat.

“Is this for bulgogi?”

These days, it seems like they have beef for bulgogi.

If it’s made with soy meat, it somehow seems healthy, and bulgogi is a dish that can’t possibly be bad.

“Mm.”

The worry didn’t last long.

I put a 500g pack of soy meat for bulgogi in the cart.

Please provide the text you would like to have translated.

I set the table myself for the first time in ages.

I stir-fried shiitake mushrooms and onions together, and marinated the soy meat for bulgogi in soy sauce, minced garlic, and pepper before cooking it.

I prepared instant brown rice instead of white rice, which raises blood sugar levels significantly.

It’s a perfect meal.

Hello. Hello.

When I turned on the broadcast, people started coming in one by one.

Are you feeling okay?

What did the hospital say?

“It’s worse than expected.” My fasting blood sugar is 380, and my HbA1c is 10.9, and they say these are extremely high levels. So from now on, I plan to stop eating delivery food or takeout and prepare my own meals like this. Look.”

I showed the stir-fried mushrooms and bulgogi I made myself.

Why does it look so unappetizing?

It really looks like someone who has never cooked did it

Shiitake mushrooms are delicious, aren’t they?

Isn’t it bulgogi? Can I eat this?

“I tried to avoid putting in as much sugar as possible, and the meat is made from soy.” I went to the store, and they had it. These days, they even have bean curd for bulgogi.

It’s truly a desirable world.

“Then, I will enjoy the meal.”

With brown rice in my mouth, I picked up the stir-fried mushrooms.

The subtle aroma of shiitake mushrooms is not bad.

When I put it in my mouth, I feel a chewy texture beneath the slippery surface. The more you chew, the more the flavor comes out.

It tastes bad.

hahahahahahahahahahaha

Look at that expression, lol

Did you eat shit?

Mushrooms are delicious.

“Uh…….”

I have no idea what to say.

I don’t even know how to deal with all this stir-fried mushrooms, but what’s more despairing is the thought that I might have to eat this kind of food for the rest of my life.

“No.” No.

Let’s not look at it negatively.

You have to think positively.

“It’s all up to how you think about it.” This isn’t bad. Delicious.

When they were supposed to be worried, they laughed and said to the viewers who were giggling.

It’s tasteless~

If you think it’s warm when it’s cold, does it become warm?

self-hypnosis

“Fried and stir-fried food is always delicious, right?” Stir-fried mushrooms are essentially stir-fried. I’m eating a very delicious stir-fry right now.

I cleared my mind and took another bite of the stir-fried mushrooms.

“Spit.”

hahahahahaha

My eyes!

How did you make it so bad that I had to spit it out? LOL

Hypnosis fail lol

You used to eat mushrooms well when you had them with meat. Why did you do that? Haha

“Seriously, it feels like a dog’s turd.” Why is this happening? Is it because of the salt?

└What kind of salt did you use? LOL

Did you use flavored salt?

Did I put in too much salt?

I thought it would taste good because it was herb-flavored salt, so I bought it. Ew, that’s disgusting. If it only smelled like mushrooms, I would eat it, but it smells really weird because it’s mixed with the herb scent.

Looks like herbs don’t suit my taste, haha.

Why did you even put herb-flavored salt in the first place, lol?

If you just follow the real recipe, it will be half done.

Idiot lol

I’m trying my best to eat it somehow, but they are trying to tease me no matter what.

However, I somewhat expected this situation.

My cooking skills will gradually improve over time, but the real issue is whether “Banchan Store” can continue airing.

In this atmosphere, I think we can pull it off even without the existing content.

“I don’t think this will work.” I’ll try the bulgogi. Have you all tried soy meat? It’s my first time.

I was really worried thinking that I might not be able to eat meat in the future, but I’m glad I can still eat it like this.

The viewers are still teasing me, but a show needs a twist.

I’m confident about this bulgogi.

The smell is no joke.

Still, bulgogi would be delicious.

Right? That would be hard to mess up.

Soy meat is surprisingly delicious.

“……Are you saying that bean meat is delicious?”

It’s the first time I’ve ever tasted such dryness.

“This can’t be called meat.” Calling something like this meat is an insult to meat.

If it were the Middle Ages, it would have been brought before the Inquisition.

“What’s the problem?” I put everything you told me to put in, you know?

Even if the stir-fried mushrooms had an odd smell because of the herb-flavored salt, the bean sprouts were made with the right ingredients.

“Is the meat always this dry?”

You’ve probably tried meat made from soybeans, right? The stuff that goes into Wangttoek or Jjajangbeomjeok is bean meat.

The texture is different from meat, though.

It’s different from real meat, but it’s not that tasteless.

If the meat in the ramen is made from soybeans, it can’t possibly taste this bad.

After gulping down the cup noodle broth, the small bits of chewy noodles left in my mouth were a delicacy.

However, the texture of the bean sprouts I made is so dry that it crumbles.

How did you make it?

Did you put the ingredients in weirdly again?

“No.” I only put in exactly what you told me to. Soy sauce, minced garlic, and pepper were added properly, right?

I brought the ingredients I used for cooking and showed them.

What are you doing using soup soy sauce, you idiot?

If you just add that, it probably won’t taste good, right?

Even if we can’t add sugar, we should at least add ginger or cooking wine.

Soy sauce is a problem too, but was it a disadvantage?

“Then what soy sauce do you use?”

While waiting for the chat, everyone replied that they should use regular soy sauce.

“And I have to be called?” “Do you eat this after soaking it?”

I have nothing to say.

So you just marinated it and grilled it as is??

So it’s not tasty, lol. You soak it in water, then dry it off before eating.

“Hey, why does everyone know so much about this?” “Was I the only one who didn’t know?”

Only you don’t know.

I didn’t know either, lol.

It should be written on the packaging, right?

The typical trait of people who can’t cook. Doesn’t do as told.

For real, they don’t do what they’re told and always put in substitutes according to their own whims.

Even if I write down how to eat it, they won’t look at it.

You only know how to eat, you don’t know anything else, haha.

“No, don’t say anything.” As a mukbang YouTuber, isn’t it enough to eat well? Do I really have to cook well too? If that were the case, I would have become a cooking YouTuber!

LOL

Right, it’s a mukbang, so as long as I eat well, it’s fine, right?

I saw something while editing yesterday, so I said well done, right?

“I’m already sensitive, so don’t mess with me.” Got it?

Because I’ve been pushed to the limit yesterday and today, I have no peace of mind.

I got angry as usual, but just then the dishwasher finished its cycle, and the alarm went off, bringing me back to my senses.

“But did I really do something that wrong?” Wait a minute. I’ll show you how I made it.

To accurately show how I cooked, I switched the screen with a portable camera.

When I went to the kitchen, the dishwasher beeped again. If I leave it as it is, it will keep making noise, so I opened the door to let out the steam.

“Huh?”

I’m checking inside the dishwasher, and the cutting board looks strange.

“Why is this happening…?”

The cutting board is split in half.

I was so shocked that I took out the cutting board from the dishwasher, shone the camera inside, and placed it on the table.

“Everyone, does this normally split like this?”

What is this again? LOL

What did you do to break the cutting board in half? LOL

They cut the cutting board and put it in to make me laugh.

Crazy, lol.

“Why would I cut a perfectly good cutting board?” Even if I try to cut it, how can I cut it so neatly like this?

For real, lol. The cross-section is so neat, lol.

Why would you put something made of wood in the dishwasher? LOL

It cracks when you boil it in hot water.

“Did I really get cursed this year? “Why does everything you do turn out like this?”

The viewers laugh without knowing what others are going through.

I was so taken aback that I kept watching the chat, but then I thought it wasn’t such a bad thing after all.

“Actually, it’s better.” It would work well as an intro.

I’m going crazy, Why is this guy like this today.

Broadcasting genius

Doma knows about the broadcast.

I should learn a bit about housework from the uncle. If things keep going like this, it feels like we’ll lose everything and starve to death.

Okay. There are a lot of cooking videos, right? Learn by watching.

Advertisements

You said you watched it a lot while editing. This guy isn’t just bad at following along; he’s just really terrible.

hahahahahahahahah

“Should I?”

Surely, this won’t do.

You can always buy a new cutting board, but eating tasteless food is unacceptable.

Eating is the last remaining pleasure in this harsh world.

“I can’t do it.” I guess I’ll have to use a cheat code.

What cheat code?

I called Joo Ji-seung, a cooking YouTuber with 8 years of cooking experience and 570,000 subscribers.
