In a heartwarming kitchen scene, a Korean mother, koreanmomcooks on TikTok, patiently teaches her daughter how to efficiently clean and prepare squid, a skill that comes naturally to her but is eye-opening for her daughter.

Growing up watching her mom cook and savoring her delicious Korean meals daily, the daughter now records these precious moments, capturing her mom’s recipes, tips, and tricks. While the mother finds it surprising that her daughter hasn't already mastered these skills, each lesson strengthens their bond.

I often record videos of my Korean mom in the kitchen because I grew up watching her cook and eating her food every day. She is a master at Korean cooking, and her meals are absolutely delicious. I try my best to capture her recipes, tips, and tricks when it comes to cooking so I can replicate it later. In her eyes, all her knowledge is obvious and comes like second nature to her. But to me, it is really eye-opening and a huge teaching opportunity. We bond in the kitchen when she teaches me things like in this video, how to efficiently prepare and clean a squid. I'm always learning something new while she is surprised that I don't already know it (or learned it in the past). There are generational differences for sure, but we’re always having kitchen conversations and I’m always learning something new.
