What a beautiful story. I don't think this chef makes much profit at all, even with his small shop and minimal food wastage. It's like some of the videos posted previously...just doing it for the masses.

I remember this thread has quite a few mentaiko lovers so here's a Japanese street stall that specialises in using mentaiko. Enjoy!

Never knew mentaiko can be so versatile but kinda makes sense I guess it's a useful ingredient if you wanna add an umami rush to anything.

Lol be sure to change audio track to Korean for original sound. I was wondering why they were speaking in English.

HAHA I watched about 30 seconds and was wondering why the video sounded so odd. Thanks for the heads up!

I love Lanzhou beef noodles so this dry version appeals to me quite a bit too.
