Taehyung was getting proud of his cooking and even if they were simple Korean dishes, he was getting more confident. The cooking lessons had clearly paid off as well as watching Seokjin in the kitchen and then his personal cooking lessons with Grace before he had left for Mexico.
Right now he was making what Grace called an essential meal for everyone - a casserole. She had grown up in England and had lived on homemade food, including casseroles, and that followed her to South Korea where she would cook food for the rest of bangtan and sometimes their crew so now Taehyung was repaying the favour for Jinny's kitchen.
She had made Mexican chicken casserole as a lesson before Taehyung had left and together they had followed the recipe, though she let Taehyung do most of it so he left confident enough to do it on his own.
He glanced up from where he was cooking onion, jalapeno and garlic then added the already pre-cooked chicken with black beans, corn, a bit of salt, chilli powder, cumin and ground black pepper and he cooked that, stirring occasionally.
Realising he had been quiet from what he was doing, Taehyung adjusted the mask he was wearing and leaned away from the skillet in which he was stirring. "Noona taught me how to make this to make for everyone while we were quiet and right now we're not open yet so I wanted to make this casserole for everyone to enjoy," he explained as he added tomatoes and a can of cream chicken soup.
"It looks a bit odd right now, but it was amazing when I cooked this back home with noona. She made me do everything so I felt confident but she always there in case I was unsure. I'm going to ask her to teach me how to bake when I go back," he added as he stirred before grabbing the dish Grace had sent along.
He spread half of the chicken mixture on the bottom, then he topped it with half of the crushed tortilla chips, cheddar cheese and another type of cheese. He then repeated it until he skillet was empty then popped the casserole in the oven.
"I can't wait to send Noona a photo of this," he said as he turned to wash the dishes he had used. The camera soon cut to the casserole being pulled out of the oven and the subtitles over the screen read, 'Thank you Grace-noona for your food. From everyone at Jinny's kitchen. Please come out and feed us next season.'
In return, Grace uploaded the recipe to weverse for everyone to enjoy.
