Dialogue

요리를 시작하기 전에 재료와 대체할 수 있는 재료를 확인해 봅시다.

YOH-ree-reul shi-JAH-kah-gee juh-neh JEH-ryoh-wah deh-CHEH-hal soo inn-neun JEH-ryoh-reul hwa-GEEN-hae bop-SEE-dah. Before we start cooking, let's check the ingredients and any substitutions.

이 레시피에는 호두가 들어가는데, 손님 한 명이 견과류 알레르기가 있어요.

ee REH-shee-pee-eh-neun HOH-doo-gah duh-roo-gah-neun-deh, SOHN-neem han MYUNG-ee gyun-gwah-ryoo ahl-leh-reu-gee-gah iss-uh-yo. The recipe calls for walnuts, and one guest has a nut allergy.

그럼 호두는 완전히 빼야겠어요.

geu-reom HOH-doo-neun wan-JUN-hee ppae-ya-GEH-ssuh-yo. Then we should leave the walnuts out completely.

구운 씨앗을 넣어도 요리에 아삭한 식감을 더할 수 있어요.

goo-oon sshee-ah-seul nuh-uh-do YOH-ree-eh ah-sah-kan shik-KKAHM-eul duh-hal soo iss-uh-yo. Toasted seeds would still give the dish some crunch.

대신 씨앗을 사용하고, 요리하는 동안 알레르기 표시를 잘 보이게 둡시다.

deh-SHEEN sshee-ah-seul soo-YONG-ha-go, YOH-ree-ha-neun dong-an ahl-leh-reu-gee pyo-SHEE-reul jal boh-ee-geh doop-SEE-dah. Let's use seeds instead, and keep the allergy note visible while we cook.

이건 구워서 만드는 요리니까, 그래도 분량을 정확히 지켜야 해요.

ee-guhn goo-wuh-suh man-deu-neun YOH-ree-nee-kka, geu-rae-do boon-YANG-eul jung-HWAH-kee jee-KYUH-ya hae-yo. Since this is a baked dish, we should still follow the measurements closely.

우유가 충분히 있나요, 아니면 제가 더 사 올까요?

oo-YOO-gah choong-BOON-hee inn-na-yo, ah-nee-myuhn JEH-gah duh sah ohl-KKAH-yo? Do we have enough milk, or should I buy more?

충분히 있지만, 사용하기 전에 날짜를 확인해 보세요.

choong-BOON-hee it-jjee-man, soo-YONG-ha-gee juh-neh NAL-jjah-reul hwa-GEEN-hae boh-SEH-yo. We have enough, but check the date before using it.

이제 재료가 안전하고 바로 사용할 수 있어 보여요.

ee-JEH JEH-ryoh-gah ahn-JUN-ha-go pah-roh soo-YONG-hal soo iss-uh boh-YUH-yo. The ingredients look safe and ready now.

이렇게 확인하면 알레르기 위험을 피하고 요리의 맛도 제대로 유지하는 데 도움이 될 거예요.

ee-ruh-keh hwa-GEEN-ha-myun ahl-leh-reu-gee wee-HUH-meul pee-ha-go YOH-ree-e mat-tto jeh-deh-roh yoo-JEE-ha-neun deh doh-OO-mee dwel guh-yeh-yo. This check should help us avoid allergy risks and keep the dish tasting right.
