Do You Cook with Your Feet?

Why Koreans care

The captions explicitly name the technique 족타 (jokta, foot-treading): the dough is placed beneath a mat and repeatedly stepped on, with a turn built into the process.

In the Korean comments

One top comment captures the joke in translation: “He really is doing it with his feet, but he’s working hard.” Another playfully says the dough has received a thorough massage and wonders how its “foot flavor” will taste.

What the words mean

요리를 발로 하나 (yorireul ballo hana, literally “Is he cooking with his feet?”) would ordinarily be a casual, sarcastic jab suggesting someone is cooking badly or carelessly. Here it becomes a visual pun: he genuinely uses his feet to knead the udon dough.
