- Korea's top chefs
will empty out your fridge.
- High quality cooking show Chef & My Fridge!
- We introduce our legion consisted of 8
chefs who know how to rock in the kitchen.
Welcome.
- Welcome.
- They're showing much care in their looks.
- All of you look handsome today.
- Their hairstyles are almost...
Chef Hyun-seok you’ve put a lot of care to your hair.
- I tried to look like Kim Poong.
It was impossible.
It's not an easy job.
- That's Choi Poong for sure.
- By the way, among the chefs today we can see chefs with 2 stars.
Choi Hyun-seok, Lee Yeon-bok, Lee Jae-hoon Kim Poong.
All four of them are in first position.
The fact that there is Kim Poong amongst them
shows that there are many twists in the new year's Chef & My Fridge!
- It's amazing.
- Yes it is. Yes it is.
On the other hand, we have chefs who have rested for a long time.
Chef Sam Kim who stayed home after two losses
and practiced cooking only. How have you been?
- I have been well off.
After a long time of resting, I've realized
that this was a very thankful place.
Every coffee I drank and every conversation
I had with the people were so precious.
- Yes.
- You've got nothing on your chest
- I just realized it today.
Just by seeing it...
- Nothing.
Chef Kim Poong has two stars,
if he wins today he's going to have 3 stars.
What do you think?
- That's even more amazing.
- Amazing?
- After such a long time...
- Now, let's call out our owners of the fridge.
Two people have visited us today who
lives alone and tired of eating alone.
Introducing the guests of today.
Today's owner of the fridge.
Today's lonely eating owners.
Yoon Du-jun, Lee Si-un.
Welcome.
Nice to meet you.
- It's a pleasure.
- Come on in.
First, the person next to me.
Sports idol because he's a good athlete, gourmet idol because he eats well, boyfriend idol because he's good looking.
The one who moves women's emotions. Stealer of women's hearts.
Mr. Yoon Du-jun who calls himself an athlete.
- Du-jun, Du-jun.
- Oh, Yoon Du-jun.
- Hello.
I'm Yoon Du-jun, an athlete.
It's a pleasure.
- He's very good in sports.
- Now, this person.
From 'Reply 1997' to 'W'
he showed his crazy existence in dramas. Now a scene stealer
with an easy going personality who oversees entertainment programs.
Mr. Lee Si-un.
- Mr. Lee Si-un. Mr. Lee Si-un.
Your eyebrows are fantastic.
- I drew them.
- Oh you drew them?
- They are attractive.
- Thank you.
- But in fact, we have introduced two people who are living alone.
Are you living independently?
- Yes. It's been a while, about 4~5 years.
About 4~5 years.
- 4~5 years?
- Yes, since I've started living alone.
- How long have Mr. Lee Si-un been living alone?
- About 12 years.
12 years?
That's a while.
- I lived by myself since college.
- Is your original home Seoul?
- It's Busan.
The purpose of this show is to make good
dish with limited amount of ingredients.
I have very few to use.
I would be very happy to see a good dish made by them.
When we watch cooking programs in the past, everyone has beef tenderloin and.
- Yes.
- basil, easily available anywhere...
- Nonsense.
- I think it's inappropriate.
- Those are unrealistic?
- Nonsense.
Where do I get Basil.
- This show is realistic.
Mr. Yoon Du-jun is well known for gourmet idol.
He eats very well.
You ate very well when you made an appearance at 'Let's Eat'.
- I've never eaten alone before.
It's not easy
and as a group, we can't eat alone.
- Do you eat at home??
- I eat alone when in home.
- You would rather simply eat at home than eating outside lonely?
- Not simply, I always try to eat well when I am in my home.
- Well prepared.
- I don't think I tend to eat
simply even when I order foods.
- Aren't you lonely when you eat alone?
- It is.
That is why I have a habit of
watching cooking show while eating.
I can't eat if there is no food on the screen no matter how
fun the TV is. I've come that far.
- Oh, cooking.
A cooking show?
- I always watch cooking show too.
when I eat.
I watch TV shows like 'Natural Person'.
- 'Natural Person'.
- That's the best one.
- Like 'Table of Korean Dish'
'Table of Korean Dish'
- 'Korean Dish Battle'.
What about this show?
- I sometimes do. The reason I don't
see is that there are more talks.
- Oh, should we lessen our talks?
- That's not what I meant.
- 'Korean Dish Battle' has dishes from the start to the end..
It feels as if we actually tried the dishes.
- There could be many people who are
curious of how men living alone live.
Mr. Yoon Du-jun is all about soccer.
He is a famous soccer fan.
- I like soccer.
- You play soccer when you are alone too?
- Yes. It is true.
- There used to be a mini goal post when you lived in your lodge? Is that true?
- Yes, I had a mini goal post.
I'll leave that in my home and go out with my members and managers...
- I've almost envied your house
because I thought it was big.
Oh, You'll leave your goal post at home
and go out.
Now that we have that out tell us your favorite soccer player
or used to be your favorite.
- Used to...
- I have retired.
- Most of the people would agree.
To choose the top 5 players. Jung-hwan is obviously in the list!
For me...
- Jung-hwan in the list if there has to be 5....
- No.
He is a legend who has filled my heart.
- He never says he is the first.
- He is!
There are 5 people in the first.
- Never the first.
- If I were to divide my heart to 5 parts,
he is filling one of them.
- Which part of it am I in?
- The one slightly on the right...
- I'm not in a very visible position.
I should be in the middle.
- It could be reduced to 3 people.
- Actually the first in my heart is coach Choi Yong-su.
- Really?
Choi Yong-su.
He says the first is coach Choi Yong-su.
- He doesn't know soccer that much!
- He doesn't know artistic soccer.
The first is coach Choi Yong-su.
- When I was about 7~8 years old,
he was so famous that
when we asked their favorite soccer player,
they all answered Choi Yong-su.
That's why he is in the middle.
- He has a strong position, in the center.
An eagle.
- Isn't it too much to leave Choi Yong-su there in the middle?
- It's cool.
Only if he didn't fell off the board.
He did the wrong ceremony.
- He started talking slowly and
shoots were weak
due to dull judgment. Now he is a pigeon.
Before he was an eagle but now a pigeon...
He can't fly.
Can't go far.
- Is it OK?
- We're in the same situation...
- He could come from China.
- Oh, tell him to.
- Anyways, coach Choi Yong-su who has filled Yoon Du-jun's heart.
Does Mr. Si-un also like soccer?
- He visited our soccer team in high school.
- Oh, a high school soccer team?
- Yes he visited our team.
Our students did not call him with respect.
Ahn Jung-hwan.
Ahn Jung-hwan, Put your hands up!
- Hey look here
He hates them.
- He seemed to be frustrated.
He really would have been.
- He was. But no further details.
- He swore right? Swore?
Oh, there is a story here.
He did not let it slide.
You should've refrained yourself.
You seem to have beaten up a few.
The air for today is 13th of February.
The most lonely days for people who live alone could be these anniversaries.
Tomorrow is the Valentine's Day.
Do you have any special plans?
- Did your girlfriend say she's coming over?
- It's the busy days.
- Your girlfriend is busy?
- He's staring at me I don't know what to say.
- It seems there was a talk?
- There are a lot but I'll keep it to myself.
- I hate those anniversaries.
It's all part of selling things.
Like Pepero day or giving chocolates or candies, they are all part of selling.
- They are inappropriate?
- They're inappropriate.
But you would have had a girlfriend before.
- Yes I did.
- Didn't you get any?
- I did not back then...
I did not back then.
- Do you have any memories of Valentine's Day?
- I don't have any as long as I can remember. All the way back from kindergarten.
Really.
- You've got a lot of chocolates?
- Yes I did.
- You would've got a lot when you were young.
- I got more than I thought when I was young.
With the graduation pictures in the
internet, it is hard to understand
I still think it's surprising but I got more than I thought.
- Oh really?
- Are you bragging?
- Yes.
- We have prepared his graduation pictures
because he said he got a lot.
- We have to see.
- Here are pictures of middle school.
- Isn't he cute?
- He looks like a kid with good grades.
- He might be bluffing because we can't verify it.
- My acquaintances know.
- Is this you?
- Yes it is.
- It's like Mr. Song Kang-ho's young picture.
- You resemble Mr. Song Kang-ho when you were young.
- Isn't it a good thing?
- They look alike.
- You were a little chubby.
We have also prepared the
pictures of Mr. Lee Si-un.
- I think he would have been handsome.
- Yes, we have prepared them.
- When I was a senior in high school...
- The one who never got chocolates.
- Yes. Never.
- Mr. Lee Si-un who never got chocolates.
Here is the picture of high school
- It was in my senior at graduation day.
- By looking at it, this would have gotten more
and this would have gotten none.
It's weird.
- Chef Lee Jae-Hoon. Have you gotten any chocolates?
- He seems to have a lot.
- I agree.
- Yes. I've got a lot in church.
When we go for camping in church
we post pictures of it on the wall.
And the girls fought for the pictures....
- They are both alike.
- Right? Right?
Chef Choi Hyun-seok, has anyone
fought over your pictures?
- When I was in church.
With the pictures taken in camping,
they would print more of them to keep it for themselves...
- They are both very alike. Really.
The pride for them...
Chef Jeong Ho-young would have gotten a lot.
- He was handsome.
- There were too much for me.
- Really?
- The reason I don't lose weight is that it was too tiring before.
- On purpose...
To prevent them
- It becomes too much.
Oh, there are these kinds of people.
Chef Yoo also have your
hair grown to prevent them?
- I can't say I didn't...
- Oh, this really is.
We would take a look at fridges of the owners who live alone.
We are quite afraid of fridges of men idols.
- Because of Sung-kyu's...
- Yes.
- The chefs should be nervous today
because they were all trembling back then.
It's not as bad as his right?
- It's very clean.
- Do you make your own dish at home?
- I am not good enough to serve others.
I do this...
But it is fun.
The process and dish washing is fun.
- Does your members or girlfriend visit often?
- My members don't visit much.
- If there are evidences of your girlfriend's visit, should we keep it a secret?
- I don't have them.
You can do whatever you want.
- She never came?
Yes yes.
No women have touched except your mother?
- OK
Alright then. Here is Yoon Du-jun's fridge.
It's clean.
- It's more embarrassing then I thought.
- There aren't so much...
Not so much.
It is clean.
- It is clean.
- He lives very cleanly.
How is it Mr. Lee Si-un?
- It is well arranged and good looking.
- This is clean?
- It is clean.
There is no sign of drooling soup. It's clean.
- It's almost always like this.
- It looks good. Now we will take a
look at the fridge to see the ingredients.
It's written fresh zone here.
- That's the fresh zone?
- It's written fresh zone.
- I didn't know.
I didn't have any reason to read it.
-You'll have to put fresh ingredients here. There are cheese and nuts.
What is this?
Beans?
- Oh those are ginkgo nuts.
- Oh this is honey?
- You have pickled it in honey?
- It's because I have asthma. It was very bad when I was young.
I still have it, people say that ginkgo
nuts are good for asthma....
That's why I have been eating since I was young.
- It's good for asthma because it's good
for bronchial tubes and lungs. But it's not good to eat a lot
because they are a little poisonous.
- Oh they are poisonous.
- Next one.
It's tofu.
For stews.
- I don't eat too late so I just wanted to scoop it in when I'm too hungry.
- Oh you scoop them in?
You think you'd get fat when you eat late?
- Yes.
After 8~9 o' clock I always.
It's been like this since I was young.
It's like a rule for the house so
it has been in me until now.
- Is it good enough by just scooping this?
- Yes it is good just by scooping it with a spoon after draining it.
- It's even better when it is microwaved.
Warmly.
He seems to know a lot.
- You are speaking a lot after winning two stars?
- I'll have to act as one.
- He couldn't speak well before.
- Chef Sam Kim shook his head this very moment.
He doesn't even want to look at him.
- It's OK. You can say whatever you want.
We can see some side dishes on the third column.
- I only eat the two in the left. I love them so much.
Only those two.
It's very good.
- Oh, this one?
It looks like white radish?
- Pickled young radish?
- It looks like whole radish kimchi?
- I went to a restaurant with my mom last
year and that came out as side dish.
I asked my mom how to make this and she somehow found out and
keeps making me these ever since.
- Is it the same taste?
- Yes I love them and I always eat them.
- The young radish...
- This is sliced as rice cakes are sliced.
- Let's try these ones.
This is very amazing.
- It's very unusual to share the
foods that I ate by myself.
- This is a very important process
to understand the taste of the fridge owner.
- The chefs can cook after understanding them.
- They are side dishes just right for me.
-Yes.
- Is your mother's home Chungcheong?
- Yes, yes.
- This is just the taste of Chungcheong kimchi,
- not strong nor weak. It's just in the middle
that gives a cool taste.
- It's easy to make, just need sugar, vinegar, soy sauce and water.
And just leave them as they are.
- I actually make them using this method.
It's very simple
For kimchi, we have to salt and season them which is complicated.
The taste blends in well.
She seems to have learned cooking well.
- Yes.
- She has a cook certificate.
- I knew it....
- No wonder...
- Your mother is a very good cook.
- She is..
I didn't know when I was young. But I realized it when I started living alone.
- The mother who also has a cook certificate.
In the fresh column we have 2 apples, cabbage
Oh, and sweet potatoes?
Now to the side column. The side column.
There are sauces in this column..
Oh steak sauce.
- Sometimes when I have beef steak I use them.
I like eating meat.
- This is salted anchovies salt?
- Whenever I grill pork belly I boil salted anchovies salt
and pepper powder and garlic and dip the meat.
- Oh for dipping?
- It's called meljeot?
- They dip it in salted anchovies salt called meljeot in Jejudo
- I wanted to make it as similar as
possible and it was not bad.
- He has a good insight right?
He has a sense for foods.
This is chicken stock.
This works on all kinds of foods.
119 of cooking.
With a drop of this.
- When we make dumpling soup at home
we only put dumplings.
But with that we can fulfill the slightly inadequate taste.
- It's for emergency.
- Aren't there too little main ingredients?
- There should be some meat in the freezer.
- Where?
- The freezer.
- The freezer, Let's check it out.
The freezer
Not plenty.
There are dumpling, dumplings.
Crab meat.
Seaweed powder.
And! Finally! Sirloin steak.
A second graded Korean sirloin steak.
There are not much.
There could be fierce competition over the ingredients..
And there are pork belly.
Only this much of them.
- That's a....
That's a lot.
- Oh this much.
The owner
The owner is like that's a lot.
- I like it just by eating them grilled.
With the skills of the chefs, I'm happy just by imagining it.
- The turns of the chefs being assigned to
Mr. Yoon Du-jun's fridge would be very...
- There are so little ingredients.
- There are not much for main dish.
There is pasta in this side.
Parsley and Parmesan and this is seasoning
- That's awesome.
Wherever you use this sauce it becomes delicious.
You use this and it's already being swallowed.
It's like ramen sauce.
- We have seen the fridge of Mr. Yoon Du-jun.
Here is the preferred dish of Mr. Yoon Du-jun!
A Dish That Makes My Heart Beat With Mom's Kimchi!
The kimchi that his mother made.
It was good.
- It's a dish related to that.
- Yes.
I can eat only with kimchi but as I am here with the chefs
I would politely want to ask for a dish that
suits that category.
- A dish that could make my mom's kimchi stand out.
- You can use it to cook or you can garnish them.
- What is One Meal A Day?
- When I don't have schedule, I stay home all day,
I'm too lazy to cook and I only eat one meal a day.
- Do you eat your meal in the afternoon? Or in the evening?
- Late afternoon.
Around 2 to 3.
A meal that can be delicious and plentiful....
That kind of dish. - Then let's see which chef
has been assigned to your fridge.
First seed.
Choi Hyun-seok with 2 wins and a loss.
Second seed. Lee Jae-hoon, with also 2 wins and a loss.
Alongside..
Third seed.
Mihal with a win.
Third seed.
Fourth seed. Yoo Hyun-soo.
Four chefs
Choi Hyun-seok, Lee Jae-hoon, Mihal and Yoo Hyun-soo.
Yoo Hyun-soo will choose the preferred category he wants to cook.
- I was impressed with the kimchi
so I'll go with the kimchi.
- The Korean dish chef is going with the kimchi.
This is...
- He's going with the one he is confident with.
- It means he's going for the star.
- Well if a Korean chef meets Kimchi....
- I'm foreigner but confident with kimchi.
- Really?
- And the kimchi is similar
to the one my father makes....
- Yes, so?
- The kimchi dish.
- He plans to run a Korean restaurant....
- in Bulgaria.
Mihal.
- Goes for Korean dish.
One Meal A Day, automatically.
Chef Choi Hyun-seok and Little Choi Hyun-seok!
- Finally! The time has come.
I really wanted to see this.
- Are you changing seats again if you lose? How about that?
- Change seats. Change seats.
- OK then.
- Your voice is not that big.
- What if he wins?
- Champions keeping their titles are the same as winning.
- Then if I win, I have a request.
To turn that chair around...
- Lee Jae-hoon has taken a good
chance to come to the front seat.
The first match with Yoon Du-jun's ingredients
The first time they compete each other in our show.
Mihal versus Yoo Hyun-soo.
It's a match between a Korean dish chef and Bulgarian chef.
The topic might be too good for the Korean dish chef.
I think chef Yoo Hyun-soo might be quite comfortable.
- Chef Mihal has lived quite long in Korea hasn't he?
- 15 years.
- 15 years, I've had Korean food for 40 years.
I think I would be more advantageous.
- We think chef Yoo Hyun-soo is going to win.
We saw chef Mihal's data and
With the the southern province dish topic...
This is the topic for Korean Dish Battle.
He won the southern province dish match.
He actually won the kimchi match by competing with
Ripened Kimchi on Earthen Pot.
When done with Korean ingredients
This might not be easy.
- If you lose, this is a big blow.
- Chef Yoo Hyun-soo.
- He already has a loss, you know?
- He is Korean chef with one Michelin star..
- This is not even against a Korean chef. He's Bulgarian.
- We're pretty much throwing him a win.
It's all for him.
He just got to get his feet on..
- There is no goalkeeper in the goal post..
- Korea never won Bulgaria in a soccer match yet.
- According to the data?
- Oh really?
- Never won against Bulgaria.
Since we haven't won them in soccer, if we can't win with kimchi
soccer fans would hate chef Yoo Hyun-soo.
Both soccer and cooking are one the risk.
- They are giving him too much pressure.
- This is how we do it.
Korean dish researchers like
Shim Young-sun might be watching this show.
- You are representing Korean dish so
this is going to be a really important match.
What kind of dish are you going to cook? - It is called "I Ate Honey".
- "I Ate Honey".
- Ssam for rolls.
- Sam is for pork belly.
- Oh pork belly.
- When I tasted kimchi I thought that if I cook with pork belly,
it would be good.There were some sweet potatoes.
With kimchi, pork and sweet potato
steamed and baked sweet potatoes came to my mind.
So I decided baked ones.
- How are...
- How are you going to bake them?
- There are only 15 minutes.
- I'm going to fry it once to cook it quickly
and grill it to add some fire taste to it.
- Fry...
- I'm going Bulgarian style again. "Gourmet Omelet"
- "Gourmet Omelet"?
- It's called "Gourmet Omelet".
- You can think of
it as fried pork.
But mixed with omelet.
We need a little of milk for omelet
but since there is no milk, I'll use tofu.
- Oh, tofu.
- And if there is time
I will fry some tofu.
- If there is time?
- What is the kimchi used for?
- I'm just going to leave the kimchi beside it to eat it with a spoon.
The kimchi is delicious already so
I don't want to change it's taste by cooking it.
Just eat is at it is...
- As it is.
It seems like he's using it for side dish
and Yoo Hyun-soo seems like using it directly.
Now, we are going to start the match with Yoon Du-jun's ingredients
The first match.
There is no borderlines nor age when it comes to taste.
Chef Mihal, who knows
Korean foods better than Koreans.
Versus Chef Yoo Hyun-soo, who
says that he will show dignity of Korean food.
Will it be Mihal's second consecutive win or Chef Yoo Hyun-soo's first win?.
The first cooking match begins.
Here there is a Korean-style chef and a Bulgarian chef in a kimchi dish match!
A 15 minutes cooking match.
- He fries it right on!
- Oh, the sweet potato first.
- He fries it.
- In water, the temperature is 100 degrees.
In oil, it goes up to 180~200 degrees.
It will cook faster with more heat.
- To give a word of relief to chef Yoo Hyun- soo. Choi Hyun-seok is also an Italian chef
but his pasta's winning rate is not high.
- Reduce the burden.
Korean dish chef too.
- Yes.
- The eggs that you are cooking right now
is the one mixed with tofu and eggs right?
- It's mixed with tofu?
- Yoo Hyun-soo carefully cutting pork belly.
- It will blend in well
into the cuts.
- It will look unusual when cooked.
- They have different point of views.
- Fun and professionalism.
- Professionalism.
- We are an eternal combination!.
- It's giving a bee hive shape..
- Chef Yoo Hyun-soo is cutting to make
it look like grilled back ribs.
- Yes.
- He even shows off.
- It shows that Kim Poong has made a mistake as it is not seasoned but fried.
My expectations were right.
- It seems like he is feeling a little rivalry from me.
I'll do better now.
- You guys are leading together.
I'll do better now..
- It's ginger syrup, oyster sauce and coffee.
Dutch coffee.
- It's my favorite one..
- Coffee takes care of the pig smell.
- Gets rid of the pig smell.
- He puts apple and starts grinding it.
- The apple is ground?
- A combination between apple and pork is the combination used a lot in Europe.
- You are being too cautious Sam Kim. You can talk freely.
- Everyone is talking freely, you can do it too.
- The voice tone is low.
- I'm not sure if it would be heard.
- Oh, he is grilling the pork belly.
My expectations were right.
- Oh he is marinading it.
It is going to be well marinaded.
That's why he made the cutting..
- Yes.
- In this case, I'll admit Kim Poong.
- Is he going to grill it again with marinading?
- Wouldn’t it be better if grilled with torch?
- He is going to roast it with fire.
- I'll grill it on the pan.
- Chef Mihal has put a lot of seasoning
I like in the meat he is grilling.
- Really?
Mr. Yoon Du-jun loves them.
- His heart is beating.
- He sprinkled seasoning.
The powder is out.
- With nuts.
- Nuts.
- Parmesan cheese.
- It's a little bit western.
He is using a torch.
Won't it catch on fire because of the oil? Is it OK?
If he does that it is going to feel like baked sweet potato. Really.
- That makes the skin come out really easy.
Five minutes left.
- Five minutes left?
Let's see if it's like baked sweet potato.
He had some.
Does it taste like it?
- It's a baked sweet potato.
- In such a short time?
- In ten minutes?
- It's even very munchy..
- That's awesome.
- Well made baked sweet potato..
Mihal's pork dish.
Oh what is he putting on?
- Parsley powder.
- Parsley.
- I'll try this one..
- It looks really good. Will it taste good?
How is it?
Is it heart beating?
- It does!
It's good..
Why is the Bulgarian chef so good at Korean food?
- Does it taste like Korean food?
- It's like a less spicier Korean style meat stir-fry.
- Korean style meat stir-fry.
- Oh he is grinding them?
- Grinding?
- Cutting by hand, mincing or grinding
all taste totally different.
- Really?
Yoo Hyun-soo is taking out the cabbage.
- Are you wrapping it up with this?
Wow this is amazing.
- As I'm speaking, Mihal is frying something.
The remaining time is one and a half minutes. One and a half minutes.
Mihal starts with his plating.
- The one wrapped and steamed is out.
- He wrapped it with cabbage.
- This is fantastic.
- It's so amazing with sweet potato in it.
- I can't even imagine. I can't imagine what the taste would be.
- Indeed.
- This is very amazing.
- Is this meat?
- Honey pork is used.
- Honey pork
- Kimchi....
- He's just putting kimchi, right on
- 50 seconds, 50 seconds.
- We're running out of time..
It's time to finish.
You have to be working on plating.
Oh, Mihal.
Mihal is done.
Mihal is finished.
Yoo Hyun-soo left.
10 seconds.
He's putting it on again.
-6, 5, 4, 3, 2, It's done.
Yoo Hyun-soo is done too.
- It's wonderful.
- All guests who come here always say the same thing.
I didn't know such dish could be made with the ingredients.
I thought it was nonsense.
As I see with my own eyes I'd say this is real!
- Absolutely.
- This is great.
- Can we just eat?
- It's tender to be an egg. Because there was a lot of tofu in it
- He tries it.
- He eats very well.
- One more time.
- Can I have another spoon?
- Of course. Of course.
- I don't usually take a long time eating.
I just swallow it
without chewing.
But this time is too precious to waste.
- It's precious. It's precious.
- There are fried tofu next to it.
Eat it with tofu and kimchi.
- Tofu with kimchi?
Fried tofu?
- Yes because it could be greasy because of the cheese.
- Really?
Oh the time...
- He eats well.
- Would it suit with mom's kimchi?
He wants to give a round of applause first.
We are very curious about the taste.
- It's all very soft
This egg might seem hard but not at all when chewed.
It's my first time eating fried tofu.
It fits very well with kimchi.
I thought that the meat would have a Korean dish taste
but was more to it of western.
My first dish
Good.
- Good?
- Put sauce
- Put sauce?
- and young radish kimchi a little bit and
eat with pork and cabbage roll.
- In one bite.
- The smell is so good.
- Good?
He tries them.
With his eyes wide open.
And kimchi.
- He should try kimchi.
- It has to suit well with mom's kimchi.
- Does it fit well with kimchi?
I'm curious of the pork.
It's with honey.
That honey pork.
- Can I try the pork separately?
- Only with the meat.
- The slightly burnt part.
The middle part looks good.
- He did it before.
- Only the meat.
- You were like a zombie.
- I thought that the sauce would be strong but the balance was great.
- Actually the sauce is made by his mom
because I used the pickled young radish.
- Oh, it's mixed?
- The residuals...
They are the ground ones.
- He instinctively felt his mom's taste.
Where did the sweet potato go?
- Inside.
- In the roll.
- In the roll?
- You can feel the sweet taste
of sweet potato while chewing.
- How should I explain this.
- Is there a way to explain it?
- There are too few words to explain.
- Good..
OK. Let us try the dishes too.
First is Chef Mihal's Gourmet Omelet.
- Gourmet Omelet.
- It does look dry right?
- Yes. They are thick.
- We really need kimchi.
- The smell of meat.
He completely got rid of the meat smell.
- I didn't want to use sugar for the sweet
taste so I added apple.
- Apple?
- How is this made by a Bulgarian chef.
This has to be made by a Korean chef.
- The omelet and kimchi makes a fine match.
- It has to be eaten like that.
- It would have been dangerous if it was not for the kimchi.
The fried tofu is good just by itself.
- It's good..
- It's good?
- Yes, for sure..
It's amazing.
- It's amazing?
What part of it is amazing?
- I never tasted something like this before.
- Really?
- It's really amazi...
It's amazing.
- It's a kind of dish that can't be found in common restaurants.
- Yes.
The texture of the eggs were amazing.
I was amazed by the eggs.
- It's good, I think this is the Korean dish that Mihal understands.
With the omelet, it's hard for Koreans to think of
but he expressed it well enough.
It was good.
- Good.
OK. Now, this time is I Ate Honey.
It's with baked sweet potato.
- It was unusual.
With a single bite?
- All of it.
- It's completely different.
- I think that this sauce is absolutely fantastic.
- You like it?
- There is ginger right?
I hate gingers..
People say that they like the smell of it
but I always disagreed.
This smell is really good.
Now I realized that ginger smells are good.
It is the first I have ever tasted.
- Many are loving it. It's amazing.
- The process was amazing. I think it's surprising
to bake sweet potatoes in 15 minutes.
With the combination of ginger and apple
there was another taste like pineapple.
I think that this dish gives me
inspiration for ideas to dishes like this.
Indeed.
- What about Kim Poong?
How is it??
- I was surprised by how similar his thoughts were to mine.
Chefs are chefs.
- I realized that all chefs have the same thoughts.
It's marvelous
- The dish was very dramatic.
The combination of sour, sweet, salty tastes gave
different tastes as I chewed through.
I realized that Michelin mistakenly awarded him star...
No, they had all the reasons.
- Mistakenly gave him?
- Is this is actual thoughts?
- We should hear it out.
Now is time for decision.
Number 1 is chef Yoo Hyun-soo. Number 2 is chef Mihal.
- Yes.
- He pressed the button.
Which one would he choose.
Is it Yoo Hyun-soo to keep his pride of Korean dish?.
Or is it Mihal going for 2 wins in a row!
The decision of Yoon Du-jun! Who is it?
The results.
How is it?
Mihal.
Oh, Mihal.
- It's a twist of plot.
- Oh my god.
Mihal.
It's a twist of plot.
You've pressed properly right?
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry..
This makes me very sorry.
- Mihal is very strong with kimchi.
He won with kimchi again.
He only looks like Bulgarian but very strong with kimchi.
- My tongue is not the one to determine the better chef.
It's a result based merely on preference.
It was a little bit strong.
I think I liked it where it reminded me of my mom's kimchi with the first bite.
- Yoo Hyun-soo dish was really good.
It was so good that it felt like 'Should I add kimchi or not?'
It felt like the taste of the
dish would change with kimchi.
- Anyway, Yoo Hyun-soo has a big blow now.
- Before Lee Jae-Hoon said
that the star was mistakenly awarded.
- Should it be given?
- Did Michelin mistakenly award a star?
- This show is not easy.
- Because it's the preference of the owner of the fridge.
- And although the time limit is 15 minutes, I made it without
any big mistakes. I believe I have made a satisfactory dish.
- It was so good.
- It was very delicious..
- The taste was.
- 2 consecutive victory!
With the star.
Mihal with 2 wins.
Award him the star.
Congratulations.
Wow~ He won the Korean dish chef.
- He won with kimchi.
- With kimchi.
He won the Korean dish chef.
- Chicken stock.
- Are you using the chicken stock?
Such an ambitious person.
- I have to win.
- That's why I have 2.
- You'll need 2 to be ambitious.
- Now with Yoon Du-jun's fridge ingredients.
Here goes the second cooking contest.
Finally, this is the first time that these
two chefs compete in this season.
Original bragger Choi Hyun-seok and Lee Jae-hoon,
the little ambitious man who wants overcome Choi Hyun-seok.
They have competed each other last season.
Back then, chef Choi Hyun-seok
won without much difficulties.
However, Lee Jae-hoon is now coming up
to the top from the very end.
- It's not like "Whispering Corridors", but he is coming up slowly.
- Coveting chef Choi's seat.
I wonder if he can take the seat or not..
- First, in order to draw a big picture,
I believe it is Choi Hyun-seok's next problem that he has to solve.
- Yes it is. Yes it is.
It's the problem that I have to solve anyway.
- Lee Jae-hoon draws a big picture but I have also pictured.
- What is that picture?
- It is the picture of the guests' taste.
- Oh, you have pictured that taste?
- I am thinking of the taste that will satisfy Mr. Du-jun.
- It's a bit burdensome. - He's drawing.
- He's drawing?
The reason why this is a big match is
because both of the chefs have two stars.
The winner will be the first to get three stars! This is that kind of match.
- It will be in top ranking.
- Yes, I am looking forward to this match.
- The dish that I am making today is called The Meatball (wanza) In The Forest?
- The Meatball (wanza) In The Forest?
Is it because you cannot pronounce the word?
- No.
The Meatball (wanza) In The Forest.
- The Meatball (wanza) In The Forest.
It's not prince right?
- It's not a prince, it is meatball (wanza).
- The Meatball (wanza) In The Forest.
- Using ham and spaghetti noodles I'll make ham noodle soup.
After making noodle soup, I will fry tofu and dumplings
to make fried(wanza) and I'm going to garnish with peanut sauce.
In English speaking country, they call it Chicken Noodle Soup.
There is this soup that makes your soul calm so
today, using chicken stock I will make Mr. Du-jun's soul calm and soothe.
- You are using chicken stock?
- Yes..
- The dish that I will make today is called
Everyday I Steak.
- Everyday I Steak?
A little bit like um......
It looks like this.
- That's it.
- There is no Hyun-seok.
- Everyone here is on the same side except for me.
Using one simple tip, I'm going to
give you a recipe that anyone can easily make.
Rice bowls with steak on it,
another one is a soup,
A dish that even if you eat alone, you will feel full.
Actually, the soup only takes 3 minutes..
- It is done in 3 minutes?
- Yes.
- Good.
That is nice. Let's have One Meal A Day.
Let's begin the cooking contest.
The skills are outstanding..
Choi Hyun-seok, who wants to win a way younger chef to win his first 3 star.
Versus. The one who believes in big pictures.
Lee Jae-hoon, who wants to run until there is no higher place.
So, which chef will be the one to get the first 3 stars in 2017 season?
So now, the 15 minutes of food contest will start.
Choi Hyun-seok and Little Choi Hyun-seok.
- First, marinading. To put it simply 1 soy sauce.
- 1 soy sauce?
And 1 spoon of Japanese rice wine,
refined rice wine 1.
Isn't it easy?
1:1:1.
0.8 of sugar.
- 0.8.
- It's easy to think of it as a seasoning.
- With the kind explanation.
- There's nothing hard.
It is just meat and with this, all you have to do is wait.
- He is saying this to emphasize that this recipe is easy.
- Yes. Yes.
- Anyone could make this.
- You should also talk. Make it while speaking.
- Today, I will make a
soup that Mr.Du-jun
can easily make.
There are lots of onions, carrots and welsh onions
in our home.
- A soup that only takes 3 minutes!
- He was speaking..
- I am worried that Mr.Du-jun will miss it.
It's really easy to make a good taste.
A little bit of anchovy sauce!
- Anchovy sauce will make little rich flavor.
Is chicken stock already in?
- Yeah, if you put a lot it will be fishy.
- Just put a little.
Anyone can do it.
- He's kind.
- It's easy to do those two.,
Chicken stock and anchovy sauce a little.
- Now, Lee Jae-hoon starting to cut canned ham.
Ah, this is important for people who are living alone.
The parsley...
- Choi Hyun-seok using crab meat.
Why are you using crab meat?
- There's got to be some ingredients inside the soup. This can be difficult,
so you can just rub it with your hand and put it in.
- Oh. It's easy.
It's easy.
- Right?
You can make it like a crab soup in Chinese restaurants.
And in here, you can put eggs in.
- You have to be good. You have to be good.
- Oh, you just pour it in?
- No..
The eggs will spread when you stir it and that can make the soup thick..
- You should just pour it.
Not even with chopsticks and if it's done,
- put a little bit of water with starch in it...
That's how you make it.
That is easy.
- Because the dumpling is watery, I'm only going to use the ingredients inside.
I has removed the water from the dumplings.
- Detail, detail.
The reason why Lee Jae-hoon is a good chef is because he has ground
the tofu and ingredients of dumplings, and it easily became meatball.
Meatball by dumpling ingredients.
- He's going to fry it?
- I think he'll use starch powder to fry..
- It's a match between meatball and steak..
The meatball is looking good!
- It's white.
- The meatball's shape looks pretty!
It looks so pretty
- I will fry it first
and when the temperature rises, I will fry it again.
- When you first fry it, the oil is pushed by the coldness of the air,
and is hard to get inside.
So when you take it out, the coldness will come out.
And you can fry it again.
- He is doing great..
Lee Jae-Hoon...
- It would be bitter to only use olive oil so I will mix with cooking oil.
- What are you going to do?
- I'm going to grill meat.
- Oh you are going to grill steak.
- You can just slice the onions thickly.
- Thickly.
Is there onions first?
- Grill onions first.
We pour a little to make the taste...
- Oh boiling it down.
- Yes.
- There is eastern taste with soy sauce.
- Yes, yes.
- Oh the apple...
- Look at him cutting apples.
- With such big hands.
- If you go to nightclubs,
You can commonly see it in the kitchen.
- Oh is it?
Is this a nightclub background?
- If you look closely, the apple's skin is cut out a lot.
- The apple's skin is cut out a lot.
- He is yelled here and there....
- He'll get punished in nightclubs.
If he cuts apples like that.
- Let's see it again.
With slow motion..
Isn't his speed slowing down as he is puts more care to the apple?
Thinking about the apple's flesh.
With a slow screen.
- And just mix apple and rice.
- There is rice too?
- Apple and rice?
- That is strange, apple and the rice.?
- Sounds strange.
But try them.
- I've never seen the apple with rice
- Indeed.
- I saw pineapple rice, but it is the first time to see an apple with rice .
- You got five minutes. Five minutes.
- I'll go take a look.
Crab soup! Let's taste the crab soup.
- Yes we should..
- Shark's fin.
- Does it taste like crab soup?
- It's a bit flat..
- Is it flat?
- I think it's a bit thin, in my opinion.
It's a little light.
He is listening to my words.
I think it is a good choice.
Cooking with the fire.
Choi Hyun-seok is cooking with the fire.
- That must be good.
That makes it delicious. Like a charcoal grill (barbeque).
- Put a little cream cheese on top.
- Oh, cream cheese.
Oh, it's not finished yet..
Chef Lee Jae-hoon... this one...
- Yes, try it.
- Is this going to serve as a soup? - Yes, it is.
- Lee Jae-hoon's soup.
How's the taste of the soup.
- Is the taste light?
- It has several tastes.
- Really?
- It slightly taste like sausage stew.
- From there?
- It has slightly of a Turkish style, Asian style and European style.
He's done. He's done.
Chef Choi Hyun-seok is done.
- He's done with 1 minute left..
Ah, he has made it like a rice bowl.
40 seconds left.
He puts on the soup..
That's how you put meatballs.
It's over. It's over.
It's done.
So that was the end of
the One Meal A Day dishes.
This is the one seasoned with lemon and.
- Is that rice made with apple?
- Yeah. It feels fresh with the munch.
- The taste...
The taste will gradually fill your mouth.
It should be well seasoned on the meat..
- Yes.
- The meat should not be tough.
The meat probably should be chewed gently, with rice.
Crab soup.
My advice must've been effective.
- Yes.
- In my opinion, it was a bit light..
There is a wow.
Probably not bad?
- Is it well seasoned?
- It is just right..
-You see. I was right.
I told you.
It could've went bad,
I saved you all.
The taste was almost too light.
Ah, he is eating the rice a lot..
- He might need vinegar?
- Is it OK?
- Is it better without vinegar?
Is it OK?
Wants us to try.
- Is there the smell of apples?
- A little.
Enough to make
you feel good.
The cream cheese in the middle is awesome.
- That's the magic that made the food good.
The cream cheese.
- Wow.
- I can't even talk.
- Is the sauce in the meat well seasoned?
- Yes, it's not like the meat was done in such a short time.
The meat is great.?
- Wasn't the meat tough?
- No, it's very good.
- OK.
- It's like it went from Europe to the Middle East.
- Did I say that again?
- Yes, there was another one.
- Zombie of gourmets.
- He tries the meatball.
With the sauce.
That sauce is amazing.
Is the meatball good?
He's a zombie, he's going to bite.
- This is tofu and...
- Tofu, dumpling ingredients and lemon...
- The reason I asked him is that
it doesn't taste like tofu and dumplings.
Maybe it's the sauce, but it is very soft and warm.
- That is right. With the soup.
- The sour taste really gives a little of England.
- I have added lemon at the end...
- I told you, that soup went all the way there.
- He eats well.
- If it was too western style, it might not be good,
but it was just right.
- Is the meal enough for a day??
- Yes it is.
- Is it okay?
- It's good.
- I love it.
- We'll try it.
So first of all, let's try Choi Hyun-seok's
"Everyday I Steak".
Choi Hyun-seok's "Everyday I Steak".
- Crab soup.
- Yes.
I don’t think you'd know with your eyes closed.
- It's crab soup.
- It's so good..
- He eats well too.
- Is it so good?
- It's so good.
Ah, this apple rice is so delicious.
We normally don't eat the
rice if the toppings are gone
- Yes. Yes.
- But I do not think so.
Apple rice is really a culture shock.
- Lee Yeon-bok also makes a lot of crab soup for his Chinese dishes.
- I think by just giving the crab soup
to the customers, they won't notice..
It was really like a crab soup. I was surprised.
- It was like a steak bowl rice that
is popular in Japan these days.
He has been a jobless person. It seems he is following the trend.
- He studied a lot.
Sure. Because he has to follow the trend.
- The hair style is also a trend nowadays.
- Good.
Okay, good. So this time, lets see Lee Jae-hoon's Meatball In The Forest.
Meatball In The Forest.
- Why does it have so many tastes?
- Right.
- I have never had
this taste before. Really.
- You experienced a lot today.
- I can't understand no matter how much I eat...It's like 'Have I had this before?'
I have never tried it before.
- It is like Italian mixed with some Southeast Asian cooking style..
- Yes. Yes.
That's right.
- But it also has that healthy taste.
- It has a lot of flavors..
- Both have the base of chicken stocks
but completely different.
- Parsley powder...
It has the smell and that exotic taste,
I think it is really mixed up.
- Here I think Mr. Du-jun's personal
preferences might apply again.
Number 1, Lee Jae-hoon's Meatball In The Forest.
Number 2, Choi Hyun-seok's Everyday I Steak.
He pressed it.
And a big sigh.
The winner...
- Is there change in seats based on the results?
- Yes, of course
If Lee Jae-hoon wins, Choi Hyun-Seok will have to switch.
If Choi Hyun-seok wins, Kim Poong will sit turning his back.
- Oh right! No!
- Yes.
No!
I was on the bet.
- Because we made a promise,
we will proceed as it is..
Who will be the winner?
Let's see Yoon Du-jun's choice.
- The result.
Who is it?
Choi Hyun-seok.
Choi Hyun-seok won.
He gets the star!
Of course, It's Choi Hyun-seok.
- Indeed..
At the most critical time.
Poong turn around, now.
I don't even want to see your face.
Turn around Poong.
He would be turning around for a while.
- I think it's the meat that made him winner.
Because, when I eat first meal,
I usually eat chicken. I love chicken.
It was that perfect combination of meat,
cream cheese, and apple rice.
I was stunned..
- Choi Hyun-seok showed his skills.
He's the first to win 3 wins.
- 3 stars.
- Yeah. Let's listen to what he wants to say.
- Rather than being stubborn of my dishes, I tried to follow the taste of our guest
and now I have the power to turn that chair.
I want to go back to my seat quickly.
- He wants to go back to his seat.
How do you feel cartoonist Kim Poong?
It feels like being
- punished in school after a long time.
- Oh, really?
We will allow you to turn back around for the next episode
so for now you should stay as you are.
Congratulations! Chef Choi Hyun-seok for the first to have 3 stars.
- Anyone has beef tenderloin..
Anyone has Basil..
It's a fridge of a true self living man.
- I don't want to take this out..
- I've haven't cleaned it for
4~5 years.
From the lighting director's wife, From the mother of the representative of my enterprise...
From the mother of my friend living in Tongyeong....
You can't use knife when you live alone.
You only have to use scissors.
You have to make within 10 minutes. You only have to use scissors.
- I like cutting vegetables but I can't.
- This is advantageous for Kim Poong.
Sam Kim prepares with vegetables.
- It's all possible.
There is nothing impossible.
- Is it Kim Poong?
Is it Sam Kim?
