Barefoot Friends
You're not taking care of your diet. You're all overlooking that part.
You have to eat well.
She can cook! Hong Jin Kyung invited us!
Hi! Thank you!
The first impression of you, because you're a supermodel.
Doesn't seem you'd cook well.
I look like a cool city girl right?
- Everything is long. The table is long. - Everything is long and big here.
You have three fridges?
Kimchi refrigerator makes it four.
- Look at these. - They are for water.
They are herbs for water.
My daughter and I drink that, and my husband drinks Cordyceps militaris.
Wow look at that. Are these pieces together?
- It's an art piece. - Look at her porcelain.
She is so neat.
Show us your fridge.
- It's kimchi. - We have six to seven kimchi at home.
Look at that color!
I will pack you some kimchi later.
It's perfect to eat right now.
Show us your pastes.
Twelve year old bean paste.
This is amazing. If I make soup with that...
These are the ingredients for the menu today.
- Let's cook! - I want to see Hong Jin Kyung cook.
Should we start cooking now?
- We do the dishes at the end. - Really?
- Yeah. - Without mouths.
You can just put your dishes back in the cupboard without washing them.
[He puts all the leftovers in one dish.]
- Wow. - Give me a bite.
He's doing the dishes! He's not leaving any behind.
[Ho Dong's style of eating.]
[Done doing dishes!]
Ho Dong is going to finish it. Let's think how we're going to mix it.
I have to look at the ingredients first. I have to see what to mix.
We have to eat lunch today. What are we eating today?
We're going to eat kimchi soup rice for lunch.
Then I'm going to make salted pollack rice.
I've never heard of that.
- That's great with dried seaweed. - Dried seaweed?
Rice with pollock and five different kinds of salted greens.
Three different kinds of kimchi and then the roasted radish greens.
Boiled pork with old kimchi.
Lastly, we're going to finish with cold bucket noodle.
Shouldn't we eat the noodles as the main course?
There are also Korean rolls. I'm not going to add pickled radish.
Instead I'm going to add an old radish instead.
That tastes really good.
It's going to taste like full ripe radish.
I wonder what it tastes like.
Can we eat all this?
- Let's eat one more bite. - Stop eating!
You have to wrap this with this.
Other than fully prepared meals, what do you eat when you just need a quick meal alone?
I always have pickled cucumber in my fridge.
I mix them in spices and put them in rice. Then I'd add an fried egg.
I would add a spoon of pepper paste then add some kimchi, the old ones.
Add salted greens if I have any. Then I will mix them together.
- You eat mixed rice? - Maybe some young radish.
- That sounds really good. - You know I...
My favorite is when you add sliced radish kimchi and some sesame oil to rice.
That sounds good. Let's add that too.
It's incredible.
- You know Gondre (Cirsium setidens). Gondre! - Gondre Rice.
You make rice with Gondre in the rice cooker.
Then you have mackerel kimchi stew.
- Yeah, mackerel kimchi stew. - Salted mackerel.
You have to use the old kimchi.
The mackerel would be soft like the kimchi stew.
Rip the old kimchi and add them on top of the Gondre Rice.
And then overcooked radish.
- Yeah! - The radish can't be crunchy.
Soft.
When you put your spoon on it, the weight of the spoon should be enough to slice it.
- The radish would be like pudding. - What's that?
If the radish is crunchy, that means the soup hasn't soaked in yet.
- Let's eat. I'm about to throw up stomach acids. - I'm hungry.
Let's cook.
- Do we have to make them? - Yeah.
- Here or there? - There.
I'm going to get started.
Talking about the meal before the meal is the best appetizer.
Yeah.
[Roasted radish green] I got green radish dried in the sun.
Then I add a good bean paste. 12-year-old bean paste.
[The biggest challenge for the Barefoot Friends is... to wait.]
Then I add sliced ripe young radish.
Then I will mix them by hand and roast them.
Your own recipe. Did you add the bean paste?
- Yeah, I added the bean paste. - Did you add the 12-year-old one?
Yeah, I also added some olive oil.
I added young radish.
Wow! That's really going to taste good.
The smell of the sesame oil is killing me.
I'm really looking forward to this.
Oh this!
Let all the sauce soak in.
When you don't have an appetite, you can add fish cake in here.
- That would be good too right? - Yeah.
You can add fish cake in here.
We have the radish here.
Stop eating!
[How can he resist?]
What's that?
- You know what that is? - That's bean paste soup.
This is not bean paste soup. This is Kang Bean Paste.
You make Kang Bean Paste with the 12-year-old bean paste and bean powder.
Then pepper powder, orange zest powder, and add a bit of Soju.
Put it in the fridge for a day and then boil it.
You know what's so strange?
It's not salty. It's not salty at all.
It has the deep roasting aroma of bean paste to it.
You can mix rice with a little bit of the Kang Bean Paste.
Then add good kimchi.
Just one bite of that.
I didn't eat breakfast this morning.
I wish we had some rice.
Try this.
- Wow. - This may look salty, but it's not.
It's not supposed to be salty.
I thought it was going to taste really fishy, but it's not fishy at all.
I thought it would be fishy with anchovy in there...
- It's not fishy? - No.
I met Jin Kyung when she had become a super model. She was in high school then.
What year were you the super model?
- 1993. - 1993?
It's been 20 years already.
- 20 years? - 20 years.
It's 2013 this year.
The high school student model is now cooking for us.
She is a housewife now.
These are sweet potato sprouts.
Olive oil.
- Smashed garlic. - Yeah, smashed garlic.
A bit of green onions.
Then a bit of soy sauce.
[Powders!]
[The color and the kind are different.]
[What's that?]
[The powder she put in all of her dishes.]
You use a lot of powder.
[You got me.]
I don't use artificial flavors. I don't use any MSG or seasonings.
- That has taste? - Yeah, I make powders from natural ingredients.
You've been using these natural powders.
She has a secret powder too.
You can see the different kinds of powders that I have.
- Clam powder, kelp powder. - She has shrimp powder!
You make them into powder.
You don't use them in lumps but in powder instead.
I really like salted greens.
They are good for you. Good for bowel movements.
Let's check the pork.
I should cut the pork now.
- That looks good. - We have to let it cool.
It's brittle if I don't let it cool.
I have a personal request.
When you cut the pork, you have to make it look sloppy.
Rather than making it all lined up...
- Yeah, I know what you're talking about. - Yeah.
You know the shape the mothers make at home.
Make them come in all kinds of shapes.
I can't stay there.
It smells so good.
When she took out the pork, I almost died.
[Just thinking about it...]
[In the mean time...]
[It's kimbap.]
That should be good for now. Do we have anything?
I don't know how to be funny.
What's that smell? Is this it? Is it?
- Appetizer. - I love kimbap uncut.
You brought two?
You snuck this?
It's kimbap.
Rock paper scissors!
[Give it!]
[Umm...]
He lost it.
This reminds me. I had an argument with this author.
This is the appetizer.
- That's the appetizer? - What is this?
- It's looks like porridge. - Is this Kimchi Soup Rice?
Kimchi Soup Rice.
- It's a soup, but it's thick. - It's thick.
Pollack broth is important for Kimchi Soup Rice.
Put chopped sour kimchi in the broth.
It's important to drop the anchovy without chopping them.
Then I add shrimp powder and anchovy powder.
Then you boil the soup out.
This is perfect when you have a cold or when you're not feeling so well.
- I thought it was spaghetti. - Risotto.
- Risotto! - It's incredible!
Okay use the spoon.
One spoon of that and a spoon of Dongchimi.
Kang Ho Dong is really good with the spoon.
He has that snap in his wrist. And when he mixes...
When you say something good about him, he would do it about a hundred times.
Ho Dong! Let's taste it.
I think the spinach from the kimbap is still in there.
The smell of this...
- Are you going to eat this? - This has anchovy inside.
- I can smell it! - The combination of sour kimchi and anchovy.
I've never seen anchovy used like this.
This is great.
So we eat this as an appetizer.
I've never seen anchovy used like this.
The spices really bring out your appetite.
I can see the anchovy inside.
- It's spicy right? - Yeah, it's really spicy.
The reason this is an appetizer is because it's really hot.
You know how you get hungry when you eat green chilli with a spoon of rice?
- It's like that. - It's stimulating the mouth?
But it's not really that spicy. Isn't it?
It's the mothers' wisdom.
Kimchi is good for digestion. Spicy food releases endorphins.
It makes you sweat.
I think she really likes anchovy.
She makes everything with anchovy powder and anchovy.
I can see whole anchovy here.
Jin Kyung this is good.
Even though it's spicy, it still tasted graceful.
I thought it was classy.
This is good for cold winter.
This is too hot to eat on a hot day like this.
But I made it because I wanted to show you my family recipe.
When I eat this on a cold day during the winter...
I'd be sweating. This will get my energy back.
Is it the kimchi that's spicy or did you put in green chilli?
I didn't use any chilli. This was all done with kimchi.
Then the kimchi is really spicy.
I will bring the next menu.
- I'm happy. - This is too good.
It's spicy, but it's not unpleasant.
I'll go get it.
- What do we have next? - Why are they so tall?
They are coffee cups.
Do I hold them like this?
Isn't this how you do it?
[A cup of water to get the spiciness out.]
[We try to look classy.]
The cup is a coffee cup. But it's like a wine glass at the bottom.
This makes me do...
It's water.
[The main menu is boiled pork with sour kimchi.]
[Making big cuts as Ho Dong ordered.]
[The cold kimchi!]
[The perfect combination of boiled pork and kimchi.]
[One plateful]
It's here.
I will put it here.
Oh my god.
- Look at the size of the cuts. - The plate looks really good.
Can we get so excited over food?
Look at the size of the cuts. Just one piece of that will be enough.
She likes big cuts.
I like it better when the cuts are not neat.
- So you just eat it with the old kimchi... - Please tell us your secret.
I used water with bean paste.
I'm sure all recipes are alike. I put in Acini di peppe first.
Garlic and green onions.
Then I boiled the meat inside.
How do you get the meat odor out?
Bean paste and Acini di peppe.
- Bean paste does the job. - That's what they are for.
- I haven't seen Ho Dong make that face for a while. - He even has the biggest plate.
Eat the cut as a whole even if it's big.
Look at the size of this.
- Cut some good kimchi. - Just one?
UEE! UEE!
How do I eat this in one bite?
- You can't! - Open wide!
- You can't do it. - You can do it.
You can do it UEE.
- It's what I ate during my prime time. - Prime time!
This is so good! It's like cotton candy!
It's melting in my mouth. The whole thing melts in my mouth.
The kimchi is really good.
- It looks like it's too big for one bite right? - It does fit in one bite.
- It's like cotton candy. - What did you do to the pork?
I never knew that pork was so soft.
Was it a famous pig?
- It's incredible. - It's good.
I really like the boiled pork.
- It's going. - Going in! Going in!
This pork is mysterious.
Right? With the kimchi?
Wow! Look! I'm going to do this, not Ho Dong.
A cut this big...
Isn't that too big?
That was way too big.
I can still chew it.
This is just some other kimchi?
I ate something that's this big.
This pork is amazing.
- It's incredible. - It's so soft.
I personally don't like them too soft. I'd prefer to be able to chew them.
This melts in your mouth right? It's easy to swallow.
These are the salted greens.
[Eggplant]
[Oyster mushroom]
Look at the kimchi!
They are kimchi.
We have more coming up!
Show us Ho Dong!
- Ho Dong! Show us what you can do. - No! No!
I brought all the side dishes. I will bring the rice now.
It's rice with pollack roe.
The roe are still inside.
Pollack roe rice is really easy.
You just add a little bit more water.
Then you add the white pollack roe. Just put it on top of rice and start cooking.
There is pollack roe in the rice.
Mix it in the Kang Bean Paste and then wrap it with seaweed.
- Do we mix them? - Yeah.
- This is roasted seaweed without... - Without seasoning.
Mix Kang Bean Paste and wrap it in seaweed.
Let's try it.
You can just wrap it seaweed.
- Is this right Jin Kyung? - Yeah, just like that.
Like this?
What?
I don't know. It's just...
That's good.
I like it round like this.
When I eat the old fashioned seaweed.
[Is it good?]
[They forgot it's a show again.]
[Talk!]
[They are really eating?]
- Is that good? - Can I bring some of the bean paste with me?
It's really good.
It's good.
- Try it! - Kimbap with young radish.
It has two young radish inside!
There is no pickled radish.
It doesn't have pickled radish.
If you don't finish that, I'm going to mix them together in the end.
- Try dipping them, it's good. - It's really good.
- Try dipping them! - That's it!
Dip them in Kang Bean Paste?
Oh wow.
- I need to go to the front. - I'm so full! My stomach is about to burst.
[Me too]
[Except for her]
You like boiled pork a lot!
That's all she's eating.
You're eating all the pork! They are recording it all.
[Happy to eat meat]
[Do I eat well or what?]
She ate the half of the pork here.
We can't just eat here.
We have to think about what to bring.
The basics of Jin Kyung's cooking is kimchi.
But I think the key to her recipe is her bean paste.
Her bean paste is at the core.
I want to get some of the Kang Bean Paste.
Kang Bean Paste and this. Can I have this to go?
- To go? - To go?
Get me two servings of that.
- The bean paste is really good. - Try that with the pumpkin leaf.
The pumpkin leaf.
You rip them like this.
That's good.
[Hyun Joong is on fire.]
[What's he doing?]
- He eats so well. - Why put so much?
Hyun Joong! Show it to us. That's good.
Look at him.
Mine is not as big as Hyun Joong's, but mine isn't too small either.
[Big! Ouch!]
[It's not for just anyone.]
Did you just take that out from your mouth?
You guys eat well.
[Kids...]
[Let me show you how it's done.]
- Are you done? - Here it comes.
Slowly! Work with me.
Clap with me. Go slow.
Too fast! Slow it down.
Too fast.
Don't you need more rice?
He puts on the fat part. No, he actually used the meaty part.
He uses one whole young radish?
That's where he earns two points. Two points have been added.
Then the pickled cucumber!
That's one serving of a lunchbox.
It's what people pack for their lunch.
- There's the seaweed! - The seaweed!
Normally you would steam the whole thing.
It's not going in the steamer. It's going in his mouth.
You can eat that?
That's way too big.
He already started it.
That's about half of mine.
It's as big as Ho Dong's fist.
- Going in! Going in! - Get the claps together.
His first try.
It's going in! It's going in!
It's like a snake!
You have to swallow it!
You can't use a napkin.
There's a whole piece of a young radish inside.
Is he swallowing it without chewing it?
Incredible.
Please don't try this at home.
It tastes so... Good!
Should I bring the cold bucket noodle?
What Na Woon's place and Jin Kyung have in common is we eat a lot
but we're not getting sick of the food.
- I don't get sick of the food. - Right? Regardless of being full or not.
That's because the ingredients are good.
It must be the fresh ingredients.
Jin Kyung said that her best dish was the cold bucket noodle.
My cold bucket noodles are famous. People who've had it once come over for more.
You know Kyung Gyu praised my noodles. You know how picky he is.
He came over and finished the whole thing.
- Here? - Yeah! He gave me a thumbs up.
She was so sure!
- It's difficult to make cold noodles at home! - Exactly!
I want to know how she does it.
The broth is the same.
It's beef broth. Then I add my secret powder.
Then I add white kimchi water.
Then I finish with some radish greens.
It just melts in your mouth.
- It's heavy. - Is it?
One sec.
- There's meat inside! - The color is different!
It's radish green.
- Try it. - It's her best dish.
It looks homemade.
I took some out.
Jin Kyung!
Wow! It's amazing!
He rarely says that. He rarely says that.
He's a cold bucket noodle expert.
The broth is amazing. The noodle is...
What is this?
- It's better than the ones in restaurants. - Really?
It's not the ordinary cold bucket noodle you've had right?
- It's not sweet and sour. - It's really not.
How did you do this? How did you...
Hold on!
There is something different in there. I can taste it.
- You've added something. - I have.
You put in something for the after taste.
It's a secret.
You can come over to my place if you want some.
- It's... - I think the answer is in the ice.
It comes in soft, then it just leaves.
It leaves the after taste in the mouth right?
- I know! - What is it?
- Isn't it bean? - No.
- It tastes like bean. - No it's not.
How can you be so wrong?
Let's try to guess. You got the broth from beef brisket.
Then you added your fish powders.
Wrong! I don't mix beef and seafood.
They don't go together.
How can I put in seafood when there is beef in there?
I remember having something... I'm not saying that I'm right.
I saw on TV once. He was a master of snack food.
His secret was to add dried shitake mushroom powder.
I think I can taste that.
- Oh! I know! I know! - What is it?
- It's mushroom. - Mushroom?
He got it.
- There's no seafood? - No seafood.
I thought I had it somewhere. I really liked it.
- I'm full. - I'm full too.
I'm full.
That was good.
Why did you take back the Kang Bean Paste?
- There's more. - Give me that bowl.
- Are you going to use kimbap? - Yes.
He's going to use the leftovers.
I'm really looking forward to it. I really am.
- Kimbap? - I never thought that he would use that.
It's only possible because there is no pickled radish in there.
Because the pickled radish won't be good in there.
How is he going to mix the rolls?
I just keep on staring at the bowl.
I couldn't even imagine that he would use the rolls.
I'm not doing anything particularly weird.
It's just what we did in my family, while I was growing up.
It's a blender!
- This is good. - It smells so good here.
We're going overtime.
- It's good. - The seaweed makes it better.
I'm not going to leave any behind.
The seaweed is going to make it better.
There are rolls in there. But he's wrapping them again with seaweed.
[He gets up with his spoon.]
It's a little...
I'm going to see what the heck he's eating.
Be honest with us.
Please note that Kang Ho Dong had already finished his meal.
This isn't before his meal. It's after his meal.
- How do I... - It's good.
Come on try it! It's good!
It's good right?
- It's okay. - It's okay right?
- It's not bad. - Not bad?
- It's good. - It's good.
It's good.
- The dishes. - We have to decide on the Rice Craver.
The best Rice Craver among Hong Jin Kyung's dishes is...
Bean paste is at the heart of her cooking.
I'd like to pick the bean paste.
- But that's just an ingredient. - Her Kang Bean Paste is the best dish.
- I vote for Kang Bean Paste. - I agree with you.
- Kang Bean Paste! - Kang Bean Paste!
- Me too. - Me too.
That's it? We have all agreed to Kang Bean Paste!
Jin Kyung has to tell us how she made Kang Bean Paste.
For Kang Bean Paste, I used three-year-old bean paste. It has to be old bean paste.
Then I added a spoon of anchovy powder.
A spoon of shrimp powder.
Two spoons of clam powder.
One spoon of mushroom powder.
And Soju. Then I mixed them together.
Then I let it sit in the fridge for a day.
After that, I boil it. I add some water as I boil it.
When it becomes runny, I'd add some onions.
Then I add some chilli.
Then I drop some hand-ripped anchovy.
I boil them after that, and it's done.
I packed Kang Bean Paste, pumpkin leaves, anchovy powder, and kelp powder.
I packed you some young radish powder too.
- They are your secrets? - Yeah.
- Thank you! - Thank you!
- I know this place. - You do?
- I'm a close friend! - You are?
Yeah, I'm a close friend!
- He's an actor? Then he must be good looking. - He is.
Hello?
- Hey! - Who is it?
It's Shi Yoon! Can you open the door?
[Actor Kim Ji Hoon]
[He is currently working on his role as a star prosecutor.]
Can't you focus on me?
I'm asking you to marry me! The Wednesday after next at three!
Let's take a look at Kim Ji Hoon first! Let's sit down.
My place isn't much.
He has his picture up to show us.
Isn't this too much?
- Ji Hoon! - Yeah?
You knew that we were coming and you left underwear out?
I don't know where to place my eyes!
Come on!
- You knew that UEE was coming! - They are not dry yet!
They are not dry yet!
That sounded so natural. I like it!
He's not normally like this.
I normally don't turn on the AC. So my laundry does not dry well.
Wow, you're likable.
[A typical bachelor's room.]
[What about his kitchen?]
Look at this. This is what happens when you live alone.
- They are growing mold. - He didn't finish them on time.
- Look at the peach. - This is how Ji Hoon lives.
- Where did you get this? - From your fridge!
Really? Where?
You like vintage?
- People who live alone have this. - Canned food.
Look at this. They are all instant food.
It's just like Tony's place last week.
- It's just like Tony's place. - Not too different.
I like cooking, but...
When I start filming, I don't have the time to cook.
So I bought these.
We can tell what your diet is like.
Vitamins for his health.
They are absolutely necessary for the people who live alone.
They are protein supplements for my workouts.
I can't work out much because of filming. So I needed the protein supplements.
They are necessary for actors.
He lives alone.
His fridge is filled with chicken breasts.
That's all chicken?
They are mostly chicken breasts, sweet potato, vegetables, and fruits.
- You don't eat any carbs? - Mostly chicken.
That steak was popular on TV.
Where did you buy this?
Internet.
You buy grocery on Internet?
You can find everything online nowadays.
Did you get your kitchen tools online? It's not even open yet.
- Did you get this online too? - That was on special sale.
What was the price before the sale?
This was originally about 40,000 Won
I got it for about 10,000?
I just had to click 'Add to Cart' when I saw this.
You had to?
You know once you get used to it, you will never even bother going outside.
- All of these came in today? - Let's unwrap them.
[Revealing the real Kim Ji Hoon!]
What food do you miss the most?
I heard that you make homemade meals like the food my mom cooked for me.
We brought them all.
How long has it been since you moved out?
It's been more than five years. About six to seven years.
Which one of your mother's cooking do you miss the most?
Her short-rib stew.
Short-rib stew?
- Why do you want hot food on a hot day? - I want it!
- You scared me.
I thought that the food we brought here would be enough.
He's not falling for the trick.
- Let's make it for him! It's nothing! - Short-rib stew? Okay.
We will ask your mother for her recipe over the phone.
Do we have to follow his mother's recipe?
[What's he going to say?]
I'm really good at making short-rib stew.
He's our savior.
- Short-rib stew is hard. - I can make it with Coke.
- Coke short-rib stew? - It's really good.
It's like short-rib teriyaki.
What is Coke short-rib stew?
How do you make it?
You mix Coke and soy sauce 9:1 ratio. Then you just boil it.
- With rib inside? - Yeah.
Nine to one Coke ratio is going to dissolve the bones.
Can't you just trust me?
If you don't like it, then I'll let you slap my face.
When we go buy the ribs, we can buy some for your recipe and his mother's.
- Make it for one serving. - Yeah, let's just try it.
Let's move it.
What is this?
This is my dress room.
You have your hats.
Sunglasses and other stuff...
- Are these the parcels? - They all arrived today?
Let's open them and see what they are.
Are they his workout tools?
Whenever I see something I like, I just add them to the cart.
- Let's open them. - There's so many!
- Let him open them! - Oh yeah! I'm sorry.
Why open someone else's boxes?
Let's see.
What do the bachelor celebrities shop for?
I love opening boxes.
Another pair of shoes?
You already have so many shoes!
- What's your size? - 270.
- They look small! - They are a bit small.
I sometimes get the wrong sizes.
Hey! This is perfect for me.
- Do they fit? - They are perfect.
I feel a bit uncomfortable.
I get wrong sizes sometimes.
Then I just become generous to my friends.
- Really? - Really.
This happens a lot when I'm with him.
- Let's open other boxes. - Yeah, we got the sneakers.
One, two, three, four....
This is... What is this? Oh lemonade!
Lemonade?
- This is... - Why do you even buy this?
- There's so much. - This is...
You've seen the blue lemonade right? This is for the blue lemonade.
That's not good for you. It must have artificial coloring.
Artificial dye additive, carbon dioxide...
- Let's open them all. - There are so many.
This must be clothes.
- New York Yankees hat. - This is the must-have item.
Two sodas at once.
- Another pair of shoes? - They are vintage.
- I think that was a good choice. - This was sold the third of its original price.
Kim Ji Hoon's shopping list is doing all the work for us.
I finished the entire outfit.
Okay, let's call your mother now.
We have to find out about her recipe. What do you remember?
Her stew is very thick.
It's sweet.
You just have to use Coke.
His mother's recipe and the Coke recipe.
Short-rib stew is good, but it's better when you mix the leftover with rice.
Short-rib stew.
- Hello? - Hello?
- Yes? - Mom, it's me.
I didn't... okay, what?
Why don't you talk to Kang Ho Dong first?
Kang Ho Dong? Okay.
Why are you breathing funny Mom?
Hi! I'm Kang Ho Dong on behalf of Barefoot Friends!
Hi.
We visited because Ji Hoon lives alone. We asked which dish he missed the most.
He said that he missed your short-rib stew the most.
- Yeah, he likes short-rib stew. - Oh you like meat.
Do you have a special recipe for short-rib stew?
- It's easy to make short-rib stew. - Okay.
You don't have to add a lot of ingredients. Just add a lot of onions.
[Her recipe: Short-rib, onions, garlic, green onions, peppers, mushrooms, chestnut, jujube, ginko, soy sauce]
What's the ratio of the meat and the onions?
For 1 kg of beef add 1 kg of onions.
- About one to one ratio? - Yes.
Okay, then we will call you again if we get stuck at a step.
- Okay thank you! - Thank you!
Thank you!
Our objective here is to eat with the bachelor celebrities.
It's good to share.
Can you call someone that you want to eat with?
- You know it's better when you eat with friends. - Yes, then I'll first call...
- An actor? - An actor.
- Do you know Lee Ki Woo? - Oh Ki Woo!
- But he's... - Variety, variety.
- He's a good actor. - But he's like me.
- He's like you? - He's really serious.
What if he becomes a food critic?
- Yo, yo. - Yo!
- Yo. - Yo?
- Yo?
- He's like me. - Yo yo.
Hey! Where are you?
I was working.
Are you about to be done?
Yeah, I'm done soon.
- You want to eat dinner with us then? - Okay.
I have a lot to eat at my place.
You went to a wedding today?
- Wedding... - Wedding!
He normally packs food from weddings.
One sec, there is a customer.
- I will call you back later. - Okay.
Who else should I call?
- You know any girls? - Girls?
Girls? Who? Who do you like?
You can get anyone?
I could know the person you have in mind. Just in case.
Okay then. Right now Clara is...
Clara?
[Clara?]
Where else can you see Clara and UEE together?
Are we going to raise the viewership? Are we doing it?
- UEE and Clara? - I'm going to go change then.
If Clara is coming, then I'm going to go change.
- Even UEE gets jealous. - Huh? I'm not jealous.
It's a girl versus girl thing.
It's Clara.
Calling...
Look at her ringtone.
- Hello! - Hello?
Hi, Ji Hoon.
- Hi Clara. - Hi, what are you doing?
I'm about to eat dinner.
- Her voice is... - I'm jealous. What are you eating?
You didn't eat yet?
No, I'm hungry.
- You want to eat at my place then? - She has so much Aegyo.
- So that's what the boys like. - Your place? Where do you live?
- Kang Ho Dong and his friends. - Yes, Barefoot Friends.
- Kang Ho Dong is there? - Yeah.
- Really? I miss Kang Ho Dong. - I'm here too.
Who?
- Me! We're close! - Huh?
- Don't you know who I am? - Yoon Jong Shin?
If you have time, come eat with us.
I'll go after shooting around 1 AM.
Okay! I think everyone is staying.
Do you know UEE or is she younger than you?
I'm younger!
Yeah, she lost to me at the race.
What do you think about UEE? UEE got nervous when she heard that you were coming.
I'm the one losing.
Who do you think has the hotter physique? You or UEE?
I have more curves?
- Hi Clara. - Hi UEE.
- Do you remember me? - Yeah, I remember you. Aren't you busy?
I've been working really hard.
So you can't make it today?
I really want to go, but I finish at 1 AM.
Yeah, you're busy. Good luck with that!
- Call me next time. - Thank you Clara.
- Thank you! - Thank you!
Bye.
I should have learned her Aegyo.
- Hey! She does this! Hey! - Hello? Hello?
I'm hungry!
UEE is like an athlete.
- This is not good. - Clara is so perky.
She melts with just, 'I'm hungry.'
Let me call someone who is not so busy these days.
He used to be busy. But he's not so busy anymore.
Who is he?
- Yeah. - Hi.
- Aren't you working? - Oh, I'm working.
Did you have dinner yet?
- I didn't have dinner yet. - You want to have dinner with me then?
I made some short-rib stew at home today, but I think I have too much.
You sound like you're on TV.
Why else would you make short-rib stew?
- I was kind of bored. - I've never seen you cook for ten years.
I can't fool Tak Jae Hoon.
- You know I... - Jae Hoon!
- Who is this? - It's Jong Shin.
- Jong Shin! - Yeah, it's been a long time.
- I missed you. How are you? - Good.
We had to call a close friend, but no one could make it. We ended up calling you.
- Can I be natural or... - You can be natural. Natural.
Do I have to wear a suit?
If you don't have anything to do, come join us for short-rib stew.
Okay! I'll call Ji Hoon.
Thank you!
Ji Hoon, come here!
This is from a home that is completely the opposite of yours.
They are from Hong Jin Kyung's family. They are Rice Cravers.
This is Kang Bean Paste.
Try dipping in this. It's a pumpkin leaf.
Wow! I want some rice with that.
Try dipping the leaf.
- Wow this is... - It's really good right?
- It's really good. - This is good even when it's cold.
I think I can eat two bowls of rice with this and pumpkin leaves.
- How about this? - What's that?
It's boiled pork.
She packed us boiled pork?
Wow, that's thick.
It's good.
This smells good.
Let's get started.
Coke short-rib stew on one side. Traditional short-rib stew on the other.
You have to put in a lot of onions.
For 1 kg of short-ribs, you need 1kg of onions.
[Chop onions, garlic, green onions, peppers, mushrooms, chestnuts, jujube, and gingko.]
[Then add them to the short-ribs.]
Add a bit of soy sauce and then add about a cup of water.
I think that's going to be good.
[What about Ji Won's Coke short-rib stew?]
You just need Coke.
Nine to one ratio of Coke and soy sauce.
There will be bubbles. You just need to take them out.
It's a bit of hassle.
I'm actually looking forward to that.
It's really easy.
You just need to keep on watching and take out the bubbles as they come up.
- Ji Won! - Yeah?
I'm going to make rice in a pot.
I love rice cooked in pots.
You have to try the pot rice. It's the old fashioned way.
Are you boiling Coke?
I'm doing well.
Here comes the secret powder.
Look at the color. It's good huh?
[The winner of the two extreme short-rib stew is?]
- No, no. - Don't overcook it.
[Tak Jae Hoon is here.]
- Hi! - Hi!
- Hi Jae Hoon. - How are you?
- What are you doing? - Cooking.
We're doing the homemade food project.
Bring something!
- You invited me. - We can eat the short-rib stew now.
I think it's ready.
- Hey! Your friend is here. - Who is it?
- Yo yo. - Yo, yo, you're here!
You've gotten taller!
My friend is here!
- You look so small now. - Make him sit. Hurry!
- Go sit. - It's nice.
Come sit here. Here.
- Come here. - I don't have much fat on my cheeks.
You don't have fat there?
Are you a close friend with Ki Woo?
We got really close recently.
He likes camping a lot.
I've been wanting to go. So we planned on going this year.
- Do you know Ki Woo, Jae Hoon? - No.
- Nice to meet you. - Yes sir.
People don't recognize me on the streets as a celebrity.
I could barely recognize UEE.
- Are we ready for rice? - Bring the rice!
I smell the rice burning.
Rice has to burn if you make them in a pot.
Look! One, two, three!
The pot was too thin.
Go scoop your rice.
[Mom's recipe short-rib stew]
[Kang Bean Paste, Cabbage Kimchi, Young Radish Kimchi, Pumpkin Leaves]
[Ji Won's Coke short-rib stew]
We're using our spoons.
- What are you taking out? - I'm trying to get the spoon.
- He brought his own spoon! - He owns a camping store.
- Oh yeah, I heard. - He brought his own spoon.
He brought his own spoon.
I will first try the Coke short-rib stew and the healthy short-rib stew.
Compare them!
[He's trying the Coke version first.]
You said that you liked them sweet.
Did you really make this with Coke?
Yeah.
I think this is going to start trending.
You're a genius.
Wow! It's good even when I taste it.
I'm thinking about opening a restaurant. I'm going to name it, 'M.S.G.'
Can I try that one too?
It's good.
- Kang Bean Paste? - Yeah, add that to the rice.
I like the Coke one too, but this one has the depth to it.
Right? It's good right?
It's your mother's recipe.
I can smell the country side here.
We brought the Kang Bean Paste from Jin Kyung's place.
He's going to eat the spoon soon.
- Try it! It's really good! - I've been eating!
- Hey try this! - Ki Woo! Try this.
I like the rice.
- The rice is good. - It's addictive.
It's good!
I have about 3000 recipes.
I can feel currents in my body.
Revealing her storage!
Shi Yoon and I always talked about eating together.
I wanted to eat with Jae Hoon too.
- You eat with Jae Hoon often? - I eat with him quite often.
I see him often. He calls me when he's not shooting.
He asks what I'm doing, and I just say I'm working when I'm not.
I'm sure all of you know this. If you hang out with boring friends, you get boring too.
So that's...
That's why he's been avoiding my calls.
I thought I made it pretty obvious.
Ji Hoon must have gotten some of your comedy because he was funny.
I think Jae Hoon is here to end his friendship with Ji Hoon for good.
- And I also came because of you two. - Really?
I had a lot to ask you.
What did you want to ask?
What's your first question?
I want to know how you manage to stay on the shows without ever stopping.
You want to know if it's your fault or if you have been unlucky?
That's what I want to know because mine are all over.
I really want to know how you do it. You never stop.
- Why did you quit then? - Hmm?
It wasn't my choice.
I can quit smoking and drinking.
I didn't quit working.
Then why do you think you lost your shows?
I'm leaving.
Jae Hoon. Let me treat you with bean paste ramen.
- Sounds good. Bean paste ramen? - Yeah.
It's made with 12-year-old bean paste.
That sounds good. Let's eat it.
- That sounds good. - That sounds really good.
- Do you eat at home often? - Yeah.
- I like eating at home. - Two or more meals per day?
Yeah. I'm good with just kimchi stew.
- You don't eat much? - I don't eat much. Burnt rice is enough.
I can eat just that.
We will visit your place as the third bachelor celebrity.
He's not a bachelor.
You think I'm a lonely old man?
- Lonely celebrity. - How could you?
- Kang Bean Paste would be better. - No.
- It has anchovy and... - Not Kang Bean Paste.
You have to make it with raw bean paste.
I'm going to boil the noodle here and get the fat out then put it in here.
I think that's good enough.
That's hot. Hurry up. Give me your honest opinion.
[No.]
It's bad?
[It can't be bad.]
[It's terrible.]
My last shot at this.
Look at the color. It looks good right?
The color looks good.
Challenge!
It's going to get soggy!
One, two! I'm opening it!
Try it.
It looks good.
Try the soup.
- It's made with 12-year-old bean paste. - Can I try it?
I will try it first.
He's taking a lot.
This is healthy, because I took the fat from the noodle and put them in the soup.
Isn't ramen supposed to be curly?
Why is it so straight and soggy...
He whines a lot.
You know Jae Hoon is the type of guy who never gets invited for dinner.
I'll just eat at home then.
Is it good?
It smells really good.
- Wow! I like it. - You do?
Is it really good?
I like it.
Kang Ho Dong is an expert when it comes to ramen.
So this was the main entree.
What does homemade food mean to Tak Jae Hoon?
First thing I said to my mother when I got home was, 'Give me food.'
I would throw my backpack and say, 'Mom, I'm hungry.'
I think my mother always called me in for food after I moved out.
That's what I think.
I think it's an opportunity for us to get closer.
I think this is something I can remember for the rest of my life. Thank you.
You're making all the right comments today!
[A few days later]
[The Barefoot Friends have been invited to Gwacheon for homemade food.]
Say hi! Eun Ji is visiting us today!
Eun Ji! You live in the neighborhood?
- No. - Then what are you doing here?
UEE had to go to a concert. So I'm subbing for her.
- UEE left overseas for her concert. - Yes.
I haven't been back home in Busan for a long time.
- Oh wow! - That's true.
When is the last time you had your mother's cooking in Busan?
About a half of a year ago?
You have to eat a lot, because UEE really eats a lot.
I eat a lot. I'm the only one who orders food late at night in my team.
- I can tell that you ate last night. - Yeah.
- You look puffy. - Yeah, I had chicken gizzards.
Gizzards.
- I like it. - But you don't just eat gizzards.
I also ordered chicken foot skin.
Who are we visiting today?
The person who invited us today is...
She is a culinary specialist.
Is it Ha Sun Jung?
Are we here for fish sauce?
Big Mama Lee Hye Jung invited us today.
I mixed them in potato.
[What is the culinary specialist going to show us?]
She is the final boss!
We saw her cooking on TV. But we haven't seen what she eats at home.
I'm really looking forward to it.
The bachelor celebrity we're visiting today is the luckiest.
Really? Oh you're right.
Because her specialty is cooking.
You just made the biggest eyes ever.
I like the neighborhood.
Her front gate is huge.
I have something to tell you. This is Lee Hye Jung's place.
The building is the color of bean paste.
- It looks yummy. - Do we dip pork belly in that?
We painted her house with the color of pepper paste.
- Hi! - Hi!
- We're the Barefoot Friends. - Welcome! You must be Ho Dong!
Hi!
- Hi! - Hi!
- Nice to meet you. - We've met at the salon remember?
- Come on in. - Thank you for inviting us.
- You're welcome. - Hi.
- He's Yoon Shi Yoon. - UEE is so pretty!
- I'm not UEE. I'm Jun Eun Ji. - Really?
Isn't it normally UEE?
- UEE didn't come today. - Oh no.
- Hi. - She's greeting without her heart.
Hi, I'm Eun Ji from A-Pink.
- She has the most boy fans in Korea. - Really?
- She's a singer? - My husband only knows UEE and Suzy.
- I will... - I will tell him that there's also Eun Ji.
Your house looks so yummy!
[The beautiful house surrounded by green nature.]
- It looks like a hot dog right? - A hot dog?
- I said that it looks like pepper paste. - Did you?
We're at the heart.
The heart of the culinary specialist.
Her heart. It's beating here.
You have to eat the food right where it's made.
I'm in trouble.
This is the oasis of cooking.
We can eat the royal cuisine here today.
Should I get a terrapin today then?
A terrapin?
I can't make you royal cuisine.
But I will show you my treasures today.
- You have a yard here. - Yes, come in.
- It's so cozy. - It's graceful.
He's excited.
- You invited us today. - Yes.
What are you going to feed us today?
I know you eat a lot. And Jong Shin is known to be a food critic.
- I'm not. - I'm really nervous about your critiques.
We can't cook, but we can eat.
He is so picky.
He will show you a eating stunt.
I made some bean paste stew for energy.
I made some steamed back rib.
Then I made some salted small octopus.
Salted small octopus.
We have to find the Rice Craver today.
We have to tell her. The food that looks good tastes good most of the times.
But we have to tell her that it tastes bad if it tastes bad.
- We can't always say that it's good. - No.
Are you going to start from my place?
You can start criticizing somewhere else.
- Starting from today. - Whatever we get.
We're food critics starting from today.
- Let's take a look at Lee Hye Jung's house. - I'm in trouble!
[All of the plants are edible]
Look at this. They are radish for kimchi.
I started sprouting.
Radish?
- I thought that they were clovers. - No, they are radish.
- I was wondering why there are so many clovers? - So when they sprout...
- Are these edible too? - They are mint.
I cut them three times a year and make tea.
Use them as food ingredients. I dry them and use them for all year round.
- They are all edible. - We're surrounded by food!
What is this? Is this edible too?
That's groundsel. The leaves are big.
I planted some there, and they sprout up every year.
- You have to be careful for the groundsel. - Why?
There are poisonous plants that look just like the groundsel.
If you eat the wrong one...
You planted so much here.
- This is 20-to-30-year-old deoduk. - What?
My father planted this when I had a child.
- Deoduk is at the roots? - Yes, they are at the roots.
I've never seen a deoduk tree.
I've never seen it either.
That's older than Eun Ji, Shi Yoon, and Hyun Joong.
- It is! - Yeah.
It's older than me by two years.
It's older than you.
It's going to bloom in a week. You can see the flower buds.
They are flowers.
- Deoduk have flowers? - They do.
Even pumpkins have flowers, why wouldn't deoduk?
- Are the leaves edible? - Yes when they are soft.
Right when they sprout up during spring, you can eat them.
Do you have to take the whole plant out for deoduk roots?
Can we eat some deoduk today?
We can't take that out.
I'm going to take it out on the day my son gets married.
The son is going to have a hard time getting married.
His wife is going to feel pressure.
Don't say that, you're going to scare them away.
I'm going to do everything.
Even if you make everything, that's a lot of pressure.
She needs to feel the pressure.
The ground is beautiful and full of edible plants.
- It's full of edible plants. - Yes.
Should we go see what's there?
You see the blue one and the orange one?
This is wild aster I got from the mountain.
Bugs ate it.
They are chives.
They are good to be cut right now, and it's going to grow once more this season.
- They are chives. - What are they?
- That's lettuce. - Lettuce?
Lettuce looks like that?
I can see your efforts here.
It's a butterfly.
It's welcoming the guests.
What's that flower?
- That's the pumpkin flower. - Pumpkin flower.
It has a bee inside.
- You have pumpkins here? - I do.
It's getting the nectar from inside.
- The pumpkin is hanging. - It is.
Wow! Is that?
It becomes red when it pops. It's called a balsam apple.
That's edible? I didn't know that.
- Oh no, one of it already popped. - Do we eat that?
The red seeds inside. They are the medicine.
How do we eat that?
You just eat the seed. You can fry the fruit.
- You can eat the shell? - Of course.
Yes, these are the balsam apples.
- Can I eat this? - Of course, try it. It's ripe.
How can this be inside of this?
It's good right?
It tastes like ripe persimmon seeds.
It tastes like jam.
Jam.
You can even eat the shell?
You can fry them and eat them.
- There are crocks. - Yes.
Her secrets lie inside of these.
What are inside of these crocks?
- Bean paste and pepper paste? - Bean paste, pepper paste, and my special fish sauce.
Anchovy sauce.
- You make them all? - Of course.
- All the pastes? - Of course.
I have to make them myself.
Most people buy the anchovy sauce.
- Which one is the anchovy sauce? - I have two kinds.
This one was made three years ago.
You can see that it's all fermented. It's fully fermented.
- That's three years old. - Try smelling this! It really smells.
Oh this. I'm not sure if I'm right.
I heard you can boil this with Soju and use it as a dipping sauce for barbecue.
Yes, yes, you're absolutely right.
That's three years old, it's ready now.
I made this this year.
You can see that it's still red.
Look at this. The color is different.
- It also smells different. - What is this?
This is also anchovy sauce.
This smells really rich.
You can't eat this right now?
Oh yes you can. They are not fully fermented yet, but you can eat them.
You can rip them and then eat them.Try it.
- It's salty. - It's salty.
Salty.
They are fully ripe.
- What do you put in there? - Anchovy, salt, and enzymes.
This is called jibjang. It's made like makjang.
- Have you heard of sigeumjang? - Sigeumjang?
- They are made with rice chaff. - Rice chaff.
Give us a little! Just a little!
- This has gotten really dark. - Let me try this.
Stay tuned!
[Runningman versus SHINHWA The last battle]
The inevitable fate. The curse of the mud flat.
Your treasure is cursed.
These are scary people!
[Pirates of Yellow Sea Shortly in Running Man]
Just give us a little. Just a little.
- It's gotten really dark. - Let me try that.
Try it.
Oh!
- This tastes like bean paste. - I have something to dip in this.
Try it. I know a good food for this.
This will be good with cabbage.
Yeah.
I've had this before.
- This will be good with onions. - This is good for dipping.
- This is for dipping. - Bean paste soup tastes like this.
- The dark bean paste soup. - In Gangwon province!
Yeah! They are from Gangwon province!
- That's it. - Wow you're amazing. You make all this?
My real treasures are hidden inside.
- You haven't showed us your treasure yet? - Not yet. You have to come inside.
- Come on in. - Okay.
Introducing the treasure house of the culinary specialist, Lee Hye Jung!
- Are these your treasures? - Yes!
I can feel the current going through my body.
My secrets lie here.
I have about 3000 recipes.
- Show us your recipe. - Okay, I will show you them all.
