Fish, the national side dish that often appears on our dinner table! The production site of the super-easy Rice Thief boneless grilled fish, which can be enjoyed simply by heating it in the microwave without frying it separately, has been revealed to the public today. This boneless grilled fish factory located in Jung-gu, Incheon, was established in 2016 and is said to be steadily loved. Thanks to word of mouth online, the number of consumers looking for boneless grilled fish has increased, and it has now recorded annual sales of 1.5 billion won. A whopping 6,000 pieces of boneless grilled fish are produced per day! The thorns are removed three times using a knife and by hand. Also, the key is to steam it for 15 minutes at a temperature of about 100 degrees or higher using a steam steamer. Only then will you achieve soft boneless grilled fish that is not dry. The advantage is that it is made from 100% fish with no salt, no additives, and no preservatives, so everyone from infants to the elderly can eat it without burden. CEO Jang Jin-hyuk began development in earnest by directly cutting and feeding fish flesh to a child who had been hospitalized for a long time due to poor health. Now, let’s visit the manufacturing site of boneless grilled fish, which has been made with unchanging sincerity and effort over a long period of time.
◆ [할매 식당] A bowl of warm porridge from Mokpo Grandma, a 47-year tradition
The main character of this week’s Grandmother’s Restaurant is Bae Ok (70 years old), who has been running a porridge restaurant in Mokpo for 47 years, following her mother-in-law. A grandmother who met and married her current husband at the age of 23. I started a business for the first time in my life by helping my parents-in-law, who were running a rice cake shop at the time. In fact, my grandmother was said to have always been scolded by her mother-in-law because she had never learned how to cook properly before she got married… One day, as she was learning to work while being scolded, her parents-in-law suddenly passed away a year after she got married, and her husband and I took over the restaurant. I had to go. The grandmother said she made a series of mistakes trying to run a business without the help of her parents-in-law. However, he raised his children while running a business, and this restaurant is a place he is thankful for as it allowed his family to make a living. What has changed in the restaurant between 72 years ago when my parents-in-law started the business and now is the main menu. When my parents-in-law were alive, they mainly made and sold rice cakes rather than porridge, but after my grandmother took over, they started making and selling more Dongji red bean porridge and pumpkin porridge. They only use domestically produced red beans, and they also use pumpkins sourced from their brother-in-law’s farm, so the ingredients are authentic. In particular, pumpkins are used in heavy and large pieces. Peeling off all the skin and boiling it for an hour is a method I learned from my mother-in-law. A grandmother who devoted her youth and time to the restaurant for 47 years. Her husband, who always worked with her, is now sick and aging, so she only helps out briefly in the morning and comes home from work, so now it’s up to her to take care of the store and cook the food. Grandma’s Dongji red bean porridge and pumpkin porridge have become quite famous, so much so that tourists come from far away to eat them. Granny Restaurant’s unique service is to make guests feel good with their cheerful remarks! Today, let’s go together to Mokpo Grandmother’s Restaurant, where delicious food is prepared with care and waiting for customers.
