We make unimaginably high quality dishes with your daily ingredients!
The best chefs of this country will dig into your fridge very scrupulously!
High quality cooking battle talk show. Take Good Care Of...
The Fridge!
Welcome, everyone.
It's 2017 now. But as always, our 8 chefs here will take good care of your menu!
Let me introduce them to you now. Here they are!
Very good to have you here.
We're starting a new season.
- And I see lots of new faces here today. - Yes.
A big storm of change.
The last season ended well.
We had the final evaluation for 2014-2016 season.
Chef Lee was the final first place winner.
Starting today, the new 2017 season starts.
We changed our system so that more chefs can come and compete.
So it's a new rotation system.
And we'll still be able to see our original chefs, right?
Yes, we will.
And once the star badges start to accumulate again,
we'll hold championship competitions as well.
And since we have many chefs competing,
we'll do the championship competitions among rank #1-8 chefs.
Chef Choi, you said that in 2017,
you're going to focus on earning star badges.
Starting this season, I'll try to come up with dishes that are easier to follow.
Oh, until now, you've been making lots of challenging dishes.
And also dishes that will get me some star badges as well.
Even if some people may criticize me, calling me Choi Poong, I'll go on this new path.
Alright, he says he's going to focus on earning star badges starting this year.
I expect lots of great things. Like how you and Poong are going to affect each other.
I wonder which of the two will be the first to leave the show.
This time, let me introduce the new chefs who will be joining us this season.
In my opinion, I think our staff picked these chefs based on looks.
- They're like models. - Yes, the three models.
Not only good looking, though. I heard they're very talented.
They are the celebrity look alike chefs.
The celebrity look alike chefs.
He's already quite famous among many people.
But on our show, his real name Kim Duk-yoon might sound more familiar.
It's the chef version of Kim Jo-han. They're so similar looking. It's Chef Raymon Kim!
Welcome.
You guys really look like each other.
Have you ever met him?
Last year, we saw each other quite often.
He owns a restaurant in the same neighborhood.
Oh really? How does it feel to see someone so similar to you?
- Do you think you look like him? - Yes, I really agree.
He actually said I'll have about the same voice and vocal strength as he does.
Because we have similar body features. Like short neck.
And here...our chin and mouth structure look the same.
- So you must be good at singing. - Please sing for us.
Alright, 'Holding onto the Edge of Tonight' sung by Raymon Kim.
Who will sing better? Kim Jo-han or Kim Duk-yoon?
Alright, he's holding the microphone.
One, two, three, four...
My love holding on to the edge of tonight
I'll just end here.
I thought that was good.
Because their mouth structures are similar.
And now this person, he's here too.
After his first time appearing on our show, many female fans have been supporting him.
He owns five restaurants in Seochon.
He's the Prince of Seochon, the chef version of Kwon Sang-woo, it's Chef Lee Jae-hoon!
Welcome!
- The Chef version of Kwon Sang-woo. - Their voices are very similar, too.
Apparently, Chef Jae-hoon said this to our staff.
'In this new season, I'll win against all the original chefs,
and gain popularity'.
- He's very ambitious. - A very ambitious man.
Did you really say that?
Yes, I'm big picture.
- We couldn't hear you. - He says he's looking at the big picture.
Oh, looking at the big picture. Very bold.
What kind of big picture are you dreaming?
Right now, the economy in Seochon isn't that great.
Really? Well, it's bad everywhere right now.
I'm going to work very hard,
so that I can be a good influence to my restaurants and other restaurants in Seochon.
You'll try to heal the economy of Seochon.
Are you interested in becoming a fixed member on our show?
Well, for my big picture...
By the way, no one has taken their shirt off yet during the match, right?
No, it hasn't happened yet.
If Take Good Care Of The Fridge offers me a spot, I will consider...
- Even Kim Poong hasn't done that yet. - I know.
Last time you were here, we said how you're very similar looking to Kwon Sang-woo.
- But in fact, the way you talk... - is quite similar, too.
Have you ever tried to mimic him?
- I think you should have. - No, never.
Come on.
You know how he throws the boomerang and says, 'love comes back!'
That was a bit too much, seriously.
- Are you making fun of him? - No, I was just trying to characterize.
Okay, Chef Jae-hoon will try now.
Love...comes back.
- Come on. - That was a practice.
- You need to be louder. - Again, again.
Okay, let's hear you try one more time!
Love comes back.
- He's very funny. - Hilarious.
We expect a lot from you, Chef Jae-hoon.
And now, the two new chefs that we haven't seen before.
First, this person has 18 years of experience in this field.
He won the gold medal in International Chinese Culinary Arts Competition.
And last year, he won the silver medal in Insect-based food competition.
Insect-based food competition? Is it the one I was in? Yeachon?
- Oh, yes. - Yes, I was in it, too.
Now that you say that, his resume doesn't sound that great now.
- I made fried crickets. - I'll let you speak in a moment. Hold on.
Let's go back to the introduction of our new chef.
He's famous because he looks like Park Seo-joon. His name is Park Gun-yeong.
Welcome.
He's the Chinese cuisine chef version of actor Park Seo-joon.
And should we introduce the person next to him?
So if Chef Park Gun-yeong is like Park Seo-joon,
this chef is like the chef version of Taeyang from Big Bang.
Has 19 years of experience in this field.
He is currently working for the national security convention.
- It's Chef Joo Bae-ahn! - Very handsome.
(Chef Joo Bae-ahn - the head chef at the national security convention)
I thought he kinda looks like Park Seong-woong.
- Park Seong-woong? - Yeah from the movie 'New World'?
It's like him mixed with Bae Seong-woo.
- Park Seong-woong and Bae Seong-woo. - Yeah, he looks like him.
And the reason we're introducing them together is...
they're like the star rookies in Chinese culinary arts industry.
Have you two met before?
- Yes, we have. - Oh, where?
I saw him in various meetings a few times.
And you know, he kinda stands out so...
By 'stand out', you mean like his abilities or like his physical appearance?
- Physical appearance. - So not his abilities?
You think you're better than him skill-wise, huh?
Alright, he stands out because of his appearance. Not his abilities.
- Do you agree? - I guess you'll see in a moment...
Oh, you didn't like what he said, huh?
Two rookies who are following the footsteps of Chef Lee Yeon-bok.
It's Chef Park Gun-yeong against Chef Joo Bae-ahn.
If you win this match, you'll get a chance to compete against Chef Lee Yeon-bok.
- Very soft. It's like he's dancing. - Yes.
- The chef version of Taeyang. - He's quite amazing, too.
Very neat. Very accurate.
Oh, wow.
This is very intense. I can't even talk to them right now.
So intense.
It was a competition right in front of the teacher.
Who will be the winner?
Please show us the result!
I heard that Chef Lee recommended you two.
Yes, I did.
How come? Are they your followers or something?
Yes. And also, they're very good looking. And they're very talented, too.
I thought they'd be perfect for the show.
Because one has to be handsome to be your disciple, right?
Then let's ask your apprentices.
I'm sure that Chef Lee has greatly influenced the Chinese culinary arts industry.
Chef Park, to you, who is Chef Lee Yeon-bok?
If I must compare, he is like Gong Yoo from the drama 'Goblin'.
- Gong Yoo? - Why did you have Ty bring him up?
He's very talented in multi ways. And sometimes he can be really adorable and sweet.
Wait, say it clearly. So he's whimsical like a goblin or is he like Gong Yoo?
Is he going to take out his stick when he gets angry?
- What about you, Chef Joo? What do you think of him? - Say it well.
Well, some people have been saying this.
Before Chef Lee started to appear on television,
all these common Chinese cuisine ingredients in the bottommost shelves.
But thanks to him, many people stated using them so they're now in the upper shelves.
You really thought this through. Good job. But you...why didn't you prepare?
Chef Park, what is this insect-based food competition? I've never heard about it.
- Yes, you won the silver medal? - Poong was in it, too?
- I was just a special chef. - You were invited as a special chef?
He was the special chef in the student category. I was in the general category.
So what kind of dishes do you make in that competition?
- I made red bean jelly with crickets. - That sounds delicious.
It's that food from 'Snowpiercer'.
Right. So I used that to make the jelly...
it actually tasted better than I expected.
- Did you cook there, too, Poong? - Yes.
I made stir-fried hot pepper slices with crickets.
And then I made a roll with it.
Oh, I see. So Chef Park won the silver medal,
and you were just visiting there as a special chef.
So chef versions of Kim Jo-han, Kwon Sang-woo, Park Seo-joon,
and Taeyang. I wonder whom they'll be competing against today.
- If we win, we'll get the first star badge of this season. - Right.
You all took off the badges from the last season, right?
It's like starting with a clean plate.
- It feels so light here now. - Right.
It's time to meet the guests for today.
These two people are the big trend right now.
The first guests of the new year! Here they are!
(The refrigerator of today's guest)
(Moving it straight to the studio)
(And also another refrigerator which belongs to the second guest)
(Here are today's refrigerator owners)
Please come on out.
The first guests of the new year!
- They're the hot trend! - Hello.
It's Seol-hyun and Yoo Byung-jae.
With one gesture of her hand, she can captivate a man's heart.
She's the goddess that will make your heart beat very fast. Seol-hyun from AOA!
- Welcome. - Hello, I'm Seol-hyun.
And our second guest...
he might look very pitiful on the outside but...
with his extraordinary language skills, he's become the star among young people.
A very acute speaker, Yoo Byung-jae!
It's Yoo Byung-jae. Welcome.
These two will really revive your energy, they're the hot trend icons.
- Thank you for coming when you must be so busy. - No, it's my pleasure.
- Happy new year. - Happy new year.
- I hope you'll become even more beautiful this year. - Thank you.
Now, say something to Byung-jae, too.
Well, I'm sure he'll be fine on his own.
- Thank you for coming when you must be so busy. - No, I'm not busy at all.
- Happy new year to you, too. - Thank you. Happy new year.
Do you use different tones depending on the guest?
Yeah.
(Oh, okay...)
No, it's not like that. You don't need to get discouraged.
So you guys are like the hot trend icons right now.
But before the filming, the news articles already got out.
About how you'll be on our show.
I looked through the comments. The best comment was...
'Why Seol-hyun and Yoo Byung-jae?', 'What is this combination?'...
Do you guys know each other? Any acquaintances?
- We go to the same hair salon. - Oh, really?
Yes. So I told your staff very boldly that I know Seol-hyun.
Have you seen him in the salon?
No, I haven't. But I heard about him from my hair stylist.
So they're meeting each other for the firs time today.
- You've never ran into each other in the salon? - No.
Then why did you say you know her?
- I was just trying to look cool. - Good job.
- Have you met her, MC Ahn? - No, it's my first time.
Do you know AOA?
- Yes. Of course. - You do? How many members are in AOA?
- Six? - My gosh. There are seven members.
I counted her out because she's here.
I meant, except Seol-hyun, there are 6 more members.
This is basic stuff. You need to know the number of members at least.
- How is Choa doing? - Yes, very well.
- What about Chanmi? - She's doing well, too.
Choa is the oldest one and Chanmi is the youngest one.
Yes, right.
Doesn't Chanmi's mother own a hair salon?
How did you know that?
He is a crazy fan of AOA.
I thought Seol-hyun looked the most beautiful and amazing when...
she was singing 'Heart Attack', there's this dance she does at the end.
My heart is going to....and then she moves like this.
This move, this one.
- And then...heart attack. - You know so well.
- I'm doing this correctly, right? - Yes.
This is basic knowledge.
You guys will have a comeback stage soon, right?
Yes, we'll be releasing our first official album since our debut
which was 6 years ago.
The air date for this episode, January 2nd, is the release date.
- So it'll be released today? - Can I show you just parts of it?
- Oh, shall we? - Sure.
It has two title songs. So I prepared two songs...
Oh, two songs?
(First title song - 'Bing Bing')
Breathtakingly, bing bing. In my head, bing bing
(Knock down)
(Just a single gesture is enough to show her charm)
Sweetly, kiss me.
(The second title song ' 'Excuse Me')
(This time it's Sexy + Cute)
(Captivating dance move)
(He's just happy)
Sung-joo's having a good time.
(Finishing it with a catwalk)
Wow, amazing.
It's all guys here. But you were still very brave. Thank you so much.
Thank you.
I think I like 'Excuse Me' better. The dance, isn't it easier to follow?
My gosh. You should excuse yourself.
Excuse me, excuse me.
(His smile was his judgment)
Was it really that funny? You even spitted.
Seol-hyun, you're so popular these days.
You're loved by so many. What do you think is the reason?
I guess that unphotoshopped picture on the banner....
- was the biggest reason. - Right, it was very famous.
It was that one where you're standing facing the back.
In my neighborhood, both pictures of you advertising phone service
- and contacts lens... - Oh, right.
are hung side by side.
I usually take a walk with my daughter in the evenings. She's 2 years old.
She always stops right in front of your picture.
- And then she like points at it. - I don't think that's it.
Isn't it you who always stops by her pictures, not your daughter?
Are you telling us that your 2-year old daughter stops to look at them?
- I can't believe this one. - This one's fishy.
- I'll really send the video. - Alright.
(And he really sent us the video!)
(She really stopped!)
(Why do you suddenly want to go back?)
Luha, what are you...
Put her down. She's going to touch the mirror one, too.
She always punches this one. Take her over there.
(Sorry, we accused you, Chef Duk-yoon...)
You're like the queen of commercials, Seol-hyun.
You're chosen as the 2nd best commercial model of 2016 by the consumers.
3rd place went to Yuna Kim.
And 1st place was Song Joong-ki.
How many commercials did you do last year?
I'm not sure exactly but I think over 20.
- Twenty? - Yes.
By the way, Byung-jae did lots of commercials, too.
Yes, he's the star of commercials, too.
- He did many. - How many did you do?
- I think around 10 or 20. - 10 or 20?
There's too much gap between the two numbers.
So I'd say between 10-20.
- Less than 20. - Yes.
Then why do you always say you don't have any money?
I'm not sure if I can talk about this here
but the final amount that comes into my account isn't that big.
It's like small profit and quick return system.
So when you got paid, how did you use that paycheck?
I wasn't really earning a lot the past 3 years.
So I really wasn't sure how to spend that much amount of money.
I bought an a/c for my parents.
And some nice bags and purses for them.
The rest, I didn't touch.
You didn't spend it for yourself?
My hobby is collecting tumblers.
- Tumblers? - Yes, I collect them so I bought some.
But other than that, I don't really spend much money.
- You're a good daughter. - I know.
In a moment,
we'll be doing cooking competitions using the ingredients from your refrigerators.
Seol-hyun, is there a special reason you came out on our show today?
At our residence, I don't really cook much.
I usually eat outside or deliver food.
You don't cook at all?
- Almost never. - Other members as well?
No. We don't really cook.
When you guys live together like that,
don't you usually go outside secretly and get food?
Like go buy something like pig feet?
Right now, the agency doesn't really care if we eat a lot.
But when we were still trainees, I think we did that quite often.
Because the agency tells us not to eat much and watch our diet,
we usually ate when we were at school.
- At school? - Yes, we ate like secretly at school.
- Like in the bathroom. - In the bathroom?
They don't let us eat snacks. So we hid it and ate it in the bathroom.
It's like an army.
So I really wanted to try the delicious food chefs make.
Any chefs in particular? That you're most excited about?
- Chef Lee Yeon-bok's cooking. - I see.
When I told my friends that I'm going to be on this show,
they told me that I must try his dish.
- So I'm very excited. - Alright.
Alright, we'll be looking at Seol-hyun's fridge in a moment.
To be more exact, it's AOA's fridge.
You said you guys live separately in two different places?
Yes, it was divided according to our lifestyles.
People who need private alone time, and people who like to hang out more together.
The members I'm living together, we're the people who prefer private alone time.
Choa, Yuna, Chanmi and me.
So you spend a lot of time inside your own room?
Then what do you do when you're alone?
When I don't have any schedule, I just stay in my room and do nothing.
- I just don't do anything. Nothing. - Really?
Other members are like that, too?
Yes. When we're in our rooms, you can't even tell whether or not we're there.
- In our dormitory, it's like that. - Isn't it because you guys don't get along?
No, no. It's not like that.
It's a very sensitive issue.
Maybe you guys don't get along?
The members I'm living together have a lot of individual schedule,
so our lifestyles are very different.
We try to be considerate of each other.
Anything we need to watch out when we're looking at your fridge?
There's really not much so that's what I'm worried about.
- Oh, is that so? - I'm not sure if you can make anything with what's inside.
And I'm worried that there might be some expired food in it.
Alright, this is the very first fridge of the new year. This is Seol-hyun's fridge.
It's the one in AOA dormitory. Here we go!
So this is AOA's refrigerator.
Hold on...
So this is AOA's refrigerator.
My gosh.
You said 4 people are sharing this...
It's so empty.
There's nothing in here. And nothing here, either.
- I see lots of empty spots. - Nothing to use as main ingredients...
Nothing in here.
Over here, I see some cheese.
So this's how girl groups eat it...you dropped something in it.
- I think it's soup. - My goodness.
- Like stew. - What were you guys eating?
- One red dot in the cheese. - Yes.
- I think I was eating it with some jam. - Oh, jam...that could be it.
Which member likes cheese?
I actually like cheese.
So I guess you're the culprit?
I apologize to other members but if something weird
comes out of the fridge, I'm going to blame other members.
- And this is... - Margarine.
There are something in this one, too.
I guess you only use one spoon when you're cooking?
- He's right, huh? - Yes...
Do you like food that has a lot of margarine in it?
Yes, I put it in when I eat bibimbap and sometimes I mix it with soy sauce, too.
- I really love rice. - Oh, is that so?
- Rice over noodles? - Yes, rice. Always.
Okay, that's what she likes.
And this is sweet corn.
One time, I made corn cheese for the members.
- For the first time? - Yes.
How did they like it?
I put a lot of sugar so it had to be good.
So you like sweet food?
Sweet and salty.
- Sweet and salty? - Sweet, salty. Yes.
Alright.
There's some cream soup powder. Something you can make very quick.
Do you do grocery shopping? At all?
Yes, I do but I usually buy instant food.
- You don't go to the market, right? You just shop at convenience store? - Yes.
So this is all from inconvenience store?
Green tea flavor eggs,.
Choa likes eggs. So I think it's hers.
Right, so Choa likes eggs.
Yes, she likes eggs and vegetables.
How about you Seol-hyun?
- I don't like vegetables. - You don't?
- You like meat? - Yes, I like meat.
- Alright. - You don't eat any vegetable?
No, I do eat sometimes. But I usually buy like packed salad.
Our naturalistic style cooking chef is very flustered right now.
- He's like a dead corpse without vegetables. - Right.
- I'm in trouble. - Oh, Chef Sam.
And there's milk. Plum concentrate.
Apples packed individually. In the back, there are strawberries.
And some mini tomatoes.
- Do you like fruits? - Yes, I love all fruits.
- Which one do you like the most? - Watermelon.
- But you don't have it here in your fridge right now. - No...
- After watermelon? - Strawberries.
Alright, Seol-hyun likes strawberries.
And this is hot pepper paste. For noodles.
Do you like spicy food?
I can't eat it very well but I like chicken feet.
- Oh, you don't like spicy food but you... - Do you like hot peppers?
No, I don't really eat them.
Isn't because you like chicken feet so much you don't care if it's spicy?
- Yes, right. - So you like chicken feet that much?
Because she loves it so much, she tries to endure it even though it's very spicy.
So if it's just spicy, you don't eat it.
And sweet pumpkin.
Tomatoes. Lots of sweet potatoes.
7 of them.
- Do you like sweet potatoes? - Yes.
How many sweet potatoes can you eat at once?
- One. - I see.
And that's enough?
Yes.
Seol-hyun, how do you do your diet?
I don't really refrain myself from eating that much.
I eat everything I want to eat but only a little.
- Oh, small portions. - Yes.
Then what do you do to watch your weight? One thing that you have to do?
I usually skip breakfast, rather than not eating in the evenings.
Skip breakfast?
You're supposed to eat more in the morning and only a little in the evenings.
But even though I eat a lot for breakfast, I still eat a lot for dinner, too.
So it's better to eat less for breakfast and eat more for dinner.
That's an important tip.
If you can't refrain yourself from eating during the evenings,
you need to eat less in the morning. It's very true.
You said you've tried all kinds of diet plans.
Yes, since I was very young. I tried lemon detox diet.
And Denmark diet meal plan...I basically tried everything I can.
Like drinking detox juices as well.
Which one was actually effective?
None.
They weren't very effective. I guess they really weren't for me.
For me, I have to eat everything I want to eat. That's when I lose weight.
Because I'm less stressed out.
Oh, not stressing yourself out is how you watch you lose weight.
But you exercise, right?
Yes, whenever I have time.
I do P.T. and Pilates.
I see. Alright.
And you have some mushrooms as well.
And paprika.
Sliced green onions. Three of them. This side looks very neat.
Chanmi is the one who cooks most often.
And what is this?
Salt.
Oh, this looks bad.
- Oh, this. - Wow...oh, gosh.
What is it?
Do you like soondae?
I do but that's not mine.
She likes soondae but she says it's not hers.
- It's really not mine. - Oh, really?
It must be green tea flavored soondae. It's green.
I thought it was an abalone because it looked so green.
Even the plastic bag is all moldy.
But Seol-hyun says it's not hers.
- Are you absolutely sure? - Yes.
Other members might disagree but she's very adamant that it's not hers.
We'll look at the freezer now.
What are all these plastic bags?
She didn't even take them out. There's this one.
And dumplings.
- Oh, dumplings. - Kimchi dumplings.
And this is pork. About this much.
And inside...
- Ice cream. - What is this?
The combination of these three...
She's very hard to understand.
And there's some meat. Various types of pork meat.
Some pork...
AOA is the advertisement model for Woori Pork.
- So they sent it to us. - I see.
Thankfully, there is some meat.
Alright, that was her refrigerator.
And now pantry ingredients.
One box of soy milk.
Instant black bean sauce and instant curry sauce.
Do you like these?
I really lover rice but it's hard to cook at our residence.
So I usually eat instant rice and instant food like those.
- Oh, because you're so busy. - Yes, yes.
She's so active on stage and loved my so many.
But in reality, you're so busy that you can't even eat properly.
Very sad.
But today, we'll prepare some special dishes for you.
So that was Seol-hyun's fridge.
It's the start of the new season,
but it's already so difficult for the chefs.
Let's, look at the menu requests that Seol-hyun brought today.
Here they are!
She wants...'Completely Fell In Love with Rice' dish.
And 'Night Snack that Won't Too Feel Heavy in the Morning'.
Can you make snacks with those ingredients?
'Completely Fell in Love with Rice'. It's the song lyrics, right?
How do you sing it?
'Completely Fell in Love with Rice'
I love rice and Korean food.
But I only can eat rice as instant rice these days.
So I'd love to eat dish with rice in it.
But I'm not sure if you can make anything like that with the ingredients...
But I'd be really grateful if I can eat delicious meal today.
I see. Because you like rice so much...
And then the next one, 'Night Snack that Won't Feel Too Heavy', how do you sing it?
- 'Night Snack that Won't Feel Too Heavy'.
Oh, right. 'Night Snack that Won't Feel Too Heavy'.
I love night snacks.
But I'm afraid that might face will swell in the morning.
So I'd love to eat something that won't make my face swell in the morning.
That's a difficult one.
But isn't this more of a medical issue? Something that won't make your face swell up?
So we'll have to get rid of all the sodium and carbs.
So if you gave him the star badge but found that your face swelled up the next day,
you should send him a proof.
Yes, if your face swells up, then we'll make him turn in the star badge.
- Oh, alright. - That should be interesting.
So now, which chefs will be cooking with the ingredients from Seol-hyun's fridge?
First,
Chef Lee Yeon-bok.
Chef Sam Kim.
- Oh, difficult. - And Chef Raymon Kim.
Lastly, Chef Lee Jae-hoon.
Chef Lee, Chef Sam, Chef Raymon and Chef Jae-hoon.
It's going to be very intense.
- It's going to be very difficult. - Very intense match ups.
In the last season, they were the ranking #1 and #2.
And we already know how talented they are, Chef Jae-hoon and Chef Raymon.
We'll let Che Jae-hoon choose first.
I'd like to do, 'Completely Fell in Love with Rice' theme.
Alright, Chef Jae-hoon chose 'Completely Fell in Love with Rice' theme.
And up next, Chef Raymon's turn to choose.
- I'll do the night snack one. - Alright. You have to sing, too.
'That Won't Feel Too Heavy'...
- That kind of night snack. - 'Like a Cat'.
You have to sing and we'll let you compete.
Chef Sam should compete against Chef Raymon one more time.
Alright, Chef Sam and Chef Lee need to choose now.
Since Chef Sam was ranking #2, you can choose first this time.
Competing against Raymon would be a bit too pressuring.
Then?
I'll do 'Completely Fell in Love with Rice' theme.
'Completely Fell in Love with Rice'. Alright.
He'll be competing against Chef Lee Jae-hoon.
So automatically, Chef Lee Yeon-bok will be doing...
'Night Snack that Won't Feel Too Heavy'...
Yes! That's it!
- 'Night Snack that Won't Feel Too Heavy'... - No wonder he was the champion.
Then Chef Raymon will be competing against Chef Lee Yeon-bok.
He tried to avoid Chef Jae-hoon but now he has to compete against Chef Lee Yeon-bok.
First match of the new year. Using the ingredients from Seol-hyun's fridge.
It will be the opening match of 2017.
It's Chef Lee Jae-hoon vs. Chef Sam Kim.
The first match is very important.
I think it's good to compete against someone
whom I've never competed against before.
What if Chef Lee takes his shirt off while doing the match?
I'll use that time to focus more on the cooking.
What if he's like shirtless and making tempuras next to you?
Hot, hot, hot!
You don't think he's a strong opponent?
- He was on our show a few episodes ago. - Yes.
Very calm.
He doesn't look nervous at all. How can he be so calm?
- It's so intense right there. - They're both very serious.
- There's the butterfly! - So that becomes the butterfly.
- I see now. - When there's only 14 seconds left.
So that's how he was going to make a butterfly.
In Chef Lee Jae-hoon,
- I kinda see similarities...he's like the little Chef Choi. - Me, too.
His gestures and his stare.
He's like hiding his claws.
Last time, he was quite bold, too.
But he lost to Chef Choi.
How do you like Chef Sam as your opponent?
It's an honor to compete against him.
But I won't make a mistake like last time.
So the reason I won is because he made a mistake last time?
Is that how we're supposed to interpret it?
He's very ambitious. He doesn't acknowledge his defeat.
You guys are very similar.
Chef Choi, who do you think will win in this competition?
Well...it doesn't...
- I can't tell. - All the chefs today...
Maybe because it's the first episode of the new year. They're very careful.
They like avoid making statements.
I think Chef Sam will win.
- What? - Chef Sam will win.
Yes, we want that kind of answer.
Chef Jae-hoon is too ambitious.
Alright.
And when one is too ambitious, he or she is bound to make mistakes.
He is going to lose.
- He's right. - Chef Choi thinks Chef Sam will win.
What do you think, Chef Raymon?
I hope Chef Sam wins.
What do you mean?
If he just wins against him on his first try,
I'd be so humiliated because I lost to him.
- If Chef Jae-hoon wins on his first try. - Everyone's situation is a bit different.
I'm sorry, Chef Jae-hoon.
So nobody is on Chef Jae-hoon's side?
It's better that way. I feel less burdened.
(Chef Sam: pork, paprika, mushroom, plum concentrate, etc.)
(Chef Jae-hoon: pork, soy milk, paprika, tomatoes, yuzu)
Chef Jae-hoon, what are you going to make today?
The title of my dish is...
'Rice Pizza Heart Attack'.
So it's pizza?
I'll use instant rice to make a dough.
On top, I'll add soy milk and wasabi to make the sauce.
I'll be mixing yuzu and soy paste,
then mix that with pork.
On top of that, I'll put a beautiful flower.
But there was no flower?
Last time, he made that butterfly.
I guess he'll be using something to make a flower.
You're not going to do this at the end by any chance, right?
Seol-hyun's birthday is January 3rd.
Which is the next day.
So it's a birthday present.
You researched it beforehand.
- Very ambitious. - Yes, it's because I'm a bit ambitious..
I'm looking at the big picture.
Today, I'm gong to make...
'Bulyang Gogi'.
'Bulyang Gogi'?
I'll cook bulgogi in western cooking style.
- That's why it's Bulyang. - She said she likes rice.
I'll be using tomatoes to make some rice.
And I want to show her how delicious vegetables can be.
- So I'll be using some vegetables as well. - Of course.
What do you think by just hearing it?
When I just hear the ingredient lists...
I can't imagine how soy milk and wasabi will taste like together...
And also I'm not sure how tomatoes and rice will taste.
I'm very curious but at the same time I'm thinking, 'will it taste good?'
You're slightly worried.
I wonder who'll get their first badge of the new year.
The saint chef, Chef Sam Kim, who never forgets to smile.
But today, he's determined to be the winner.
And we have a new, very bold chef who's thinking of the big picture.
Chef Lee Jae-hoon is the opponent.
Who will be able to get the first star badge?
We'll start the first cooking match right now!
Alright.
It's exactly 15 minutes. Please keep that in mind.
When the time is up, you have to stop cooking.
Are you making a pizza??
It looks like nurungji.
I guess he's going to add toppings on there.
- Are you going to drizzle it? - I'm going to boil it with wasabi.
- ...and make a sauce. - But will they go well together?
That's what Seol-hyun's worried about.
He put lots of yuzu sauce on pork.
Pork and yuzu?
(4. Add garlic, ginger, soy paste, cooking wine and sesame oil to #3.)
He just added soy bean paste and cooking wine to the mixture.
What are you working on in the back?
He's marinating it in the back.
- Why are you hiding? - He says he's ambitious but...
he's missing out on a chance to appear more on TV.
Maybe it's part of his big picture.
Yes, he needs to show it. He's hiding a lot.
Chef Jae-hoon is preparing meat right now.
And Chef Sam is preparing vegetables.
(#1. Grill chopped onions, paprika and mushrooms.)
But Seol-hyun said she doesn't really like vegetables.
You're using mushrooms paprika...will it be okay?,
To be honest, I'm a bit worried but...
she said it's not like she hates all vegetables.
I don't like raw vegetables but if they're grilled, I will be okay with them.
- That's a relief. - It will taste like western food.
Is that the sauce for bulgogi?
Yes, correct.
Using soy sauce...
It's been a while since we saw Chef Sam using soy sauce.
- Right. - He doesn't use soy sauce that often.
I guess he really wants to win today.
Yes, you're not going to make your signature broth?
- I changed a bit. - You did?
It's bulgogi soy sauce.
He's marinating it.
Oh, the back leg part?
Usually, beef bulgogi soy sauce is marinated soy sauce.
- He used pork but cooked it like beef bulgogi. - They go well together.
Yes, he doesn't have much professional knowledge...
But they will taste excellent together.
That's what I was gonna say.
I think you're an overly ambitious chef.
(5. Put olive oil, salt, pepper on tomatoes.)
What is he going to do with the tomatoes?
Are you saying that that's rice?
I think he's going to add oil and mix them.
Why are you guys arguing so much when it's the start of the new year?
Chef Sam looks slightly upset.
(5. Slice green onions and put them in ice water.)
(Chopping paprika and green onions)
(6. Mix olive oil, lemon juice and pepper to make a dressing)
He's making a dressing.
I will drizzle it slightly on the top.
- Since it's pizza and he's making it very sweet... - Right, it could be too much.
Right now, it just looks like nurungji.
- So far, it's just nurungji. - Hope he doesn’t just add water and call it done.
Then it will be just nurungji rice.
Yes, he might just do that.
(7. Mix garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, sugar and olive oil to make a dressing.)
- What are you making? - A dressing.
He's mixing oil and things that taste a bit acidic.
With 1:2 or 1:3 proportions.
This is a very useful tip that Kim Poong cannot offer.
Very intense competition going on between you two right now.
(8. Stir-fry bulgogi on an oiled pan.)
(Preparing tomatoes...)
He's slicing them into thin pieces.
I think he's going to make the flower with the tomato slices.
- Oh, I see. - That flower he's going to give to Seol-hyun.
- He's going to use tomatoes. - I saw it on the Internet.
I saw it .You have to wrap it very carefully.
It's a technique that requires lots of details!
- There's the flower. - Oh, there it is!
- The flower. - He made a flower with tomatoes.
Chef Sam didn't know it was her birthday.
Chef Sam is making the tomato rice.
Finally, it's coming out.
He's putting the tomato on top.
And he's adding olive oil.
And then he's going to microwave it.
- It's going to be that simple? - No way.
- I'm sure that's not it. - Of course not.
- 5 minutes left. - Time just flew by.
- Maybe because it's the opening match. - Very fast.
I'm very curious about this tomato rice.
- Oh, he's grilling them. - Why?
To make it sweeter.
- Oh, if you grill them, they become sweeter? - Why not just add sugar?
I just don't understand.
If you grill them with a torch, it brings out its natural sweet flavor.
Just like how cooked sweet potatoes are sweeter.
This time, it's Chef Sam's bulgogi.
How does it taste?
- It's too salty. - Is it?
- It's too salty? - He usually doesn't make that kind of mistake.
Wouldn't it be okay if you eat it with rice?
And the next one?
This one's...even more salty.
Why are they making them too salty?
If you want to bring out the flavors of meat in a short amount of time,
- The sauce has to be salty. - Oh, is that so?
I think the nurungji dough is complete.
On the outside, it kinda looks like Gorgonzola pizza.
That by itself will be good, too.
(Starts to season the microwaved tomato rice)
(11. Add olive oil, grilled tomatoes, and bulgogi sauce.)
(12. Put the rice, the grilled vegetables and the dressing)
He put the onions in cold water to get rid of spicy taste.
I see.
(12. Put the pork, tomato rose, oil dressing, pepper and wasabi sauce in this order.)
Only 1 minute left.
Only about 1 minute left now.
Use the stronger stove on the left.
Chef Jae-hoon is done.
- He finished it. - It's very pretty.
The plating itself is an art.
Look at those tomatoes.
Chef Sam is adding the dressing.
- No soup part. - You just eat them altogether.
10 seconds left now.
Six, five, four, three, two...
He's done, too.
2 seconds left and Chef Sam finished his dish.
- Oh, wow. - Amazing.
(Nurungji dough, soy milk wasabi sauce and rice pizza)
(Chef Jae-hoon's 'Rice Pizza Heart Attack')
I'll try this one first.
Starting with the tomato slices. The flower.
(Yum)
(Carefully tasting it...)
How do they taste?
He added some sauce here
so I was curious about the taste.
But I think it just tastes like ordinary tomatoes.
Even though he added some sauce...
Didn't have much effect.
- I'll eat this now. - Does she need to wrap it?
It's very hard to eat for the our lady.
- It's like dripping. - The onions...they're falling.
It's nurungji in a pizza shape.
Isn't rice too stiff?
She did say she likes crispy rice.
I wonder if it really tastes like a pizza.
How is it?
It's really delicious.
- Is it really? - Yes.
It doesn't really taste like a pizza to be honest.
Maybe because the soy bean paste sauce is in it, it's really good.
You said it was salty earlier but it's not salty. Not at all.
I guess you didn't add any salt to rice?
Yes, it was all thought out.
- I'm sure. - Of course.
They're so similar.
And onions...
I think they're too spicy and bitter if you eat them raw.
But since it has other ingredients, it's very good.
- You liked it? - Yes.
Wasn't nurungji too stiff?
No, not at all.
- It's kinda chewy? - Yes.
It's perfectly crispy.
- Can I eat more? - Of course, you can eat it all.
It's all yours.
It's your ingredients.
I want to ask, why did you make the soy milk wasabi sauce?
It will reduce the spicy taste of onions and the overall spicy taste.
And it will help to create a balance between the ingredients.
So that it will be more savory.
And when the spicy tastes of onions and wasabi are mixed together,
- it will create a well balanced dish overall. - To make it more savory.
- I really want to try this one, too. - Oh, you do?
Now, she'll try 'Bulyang Gogi'.
(Pork bulgogi served with tomato rice and grilled vegetables)
(Chef Sam's 'Bulyang Gogi')
- With rice. - I'm a bit worried about the rice part.
You are?
Because it has tomatoes in it. I'm not sure if it'll taste good.
I know...
With mushrooms and onions...and meat.
- If the meat smells, it's over. - Of course. It's done for.
Then it's really bulryang (means 'something is nor right')
Alright, it's Seol-hyun who really likes rice!
One big spoonful.
- Chewing, chewing. - Tasting it.
This one is really god, too.
- Oh, she thinks this one's good too. - This is difficult.
I was a bit worried about the tomatoes.
When I smelled it, I kinda didn't like it.
But when I tried them together with other ingredients, it tasted really good.
It didn't taste too weird and unfamiliar?
No, not at all.
If you just eat rice, it might taste like that.
But I think it has the perfect amount of seasoning.
The mushroom and onions taste really great.
- You prefer them grilled. - Yes.
I don't really eat lots of vegetables usually.
You prefer grilled onion over raw onion?
- Yes. - Okay. Alright.
She said she doesn't really like vegetables. She's trying it one more time.
Just rice.
- You need to eat it with meat? - Yes, with meat.
With just rice, it's a bit too weird. So try with the meat.
- I guess the meat's really good. - Yes. It's delicious.
I've never tasted something this good.
It kinda looks a bit too stiff. Maybe you should've made some soup as well.
Seol-hyun says it's fine. Why is everyone...
Just by looking at it, I feel like that.
I really love meat.
But they both used meat in their dishes. So it's really hard to choose.
They're both so good.
- Both have good meat qualities. - Yes.
Everyone will try now.
First, Chef Jae-hoon's 'Rice Pizza Heart Attack'.
We'll try that one first.
It's very pretty.
- I can definitely taste the soy bean paste. - Yes.
Very savory.
I just love how crispy this nurungji is.
It's chewy and crispy at the same time.
The combination of soy bean paste and pork is simply amazing.
It sounds so weird but they go well together.
- You don't think they would. - Right, but overall, it's really good.
But the nurungji gets stuck to your teeth.
- Yes, it does. - I guess that's the one downside of it.
I really enjoyed it. He's young, that's why he can come up with this kind of new idea.
Because he's young.
When you're over 40, you can't think of any new ideas.
It speaks like he's going to retire soon.
As if he's complimenting a person much younger than him.
This time, we'll try Chef Sam's dish.
Tomato rice, bulgogi and vegetables.
Vegetables taste so good.
Every time he cooks with vegetables...it's just...perfect.
Seriously.
- What do you think, Byung-jae? - It's so good.
Before, the visual was a bit...maybe because of the plate.
It looks like food they serve on airplanes. For economy seats.
Not that I wasn't excited to try it but...
I was more curious about the taste.
Firstly, the rice is so soft.
And the meat, it has a very strong taste. That's the first thing you'll taste.
And then the tomatoes add freshness.
It has lots of ingredients. And the vegetables are grilled just the right amount.
They were so crisp. The sauce is very good, too.
- The sauce is well soaked in. - This is better for people who are in their 50's?
Yes, very true.
Chef Jae-hoon's dish...
it tasted like it was well thought out. But this one is very straightforward.
As soon as you put it in your mouth, you go 'it's delicious!'
And I think the most important factor was the tomato.
It's kinda salty but it's so juicy.
It added this fresh flavor to the overall taste.
I guess Chef Sam really is the master of taste.
Yes. Chef Sam...I think he's more focusing on getting star badges now.
- I think that's what he's after. - 'I'll be the star badge guy'.
He was the 2nd place winner last season.
When I text Chef Sam,
I always call him a fox.
He looks like a bear but when we talk about food and flavors, he's so clever.
He put just a tiny bit of sesame oil because he had to.
But that he covered that taste with olive oil.
- You put sesame oil? - Yes, he did.
Because he used meat.
And he strongly suggested to eat rice with the tomatoes.
To make the overall taste fresh and juicy.
He's very detailed and clever.
- I think he's hiding his tail. - Alright, Chef Sam is like a fox.
Alright, it's time to choose now.
Seol-hyun, the owner of the fridge, has to choose today.
Number 1 is Chef Jae-hoon's dish.
Number 2 is Chef Sam's dish.
Based on this decision,
we'll find out who will take the very first star badge of the new year.
- Did you press it? - Yes, I did.
- Alright she did. - They both look so nervous.
Let's find out which one Seol-hun chose. Please show us!
'Completely Fell In Love With Rice' cooking battle?
Which one captivated your heart?
Is it Chef Sam Kim or Chef Lee Jae-hoon? Let's check the result.
Which one captivated your heart?
Is it Chef Sam Kim or Chef Lee Jae-hoon? Let's check the result.
The first star badge of 2017! Which one?
(Chef Lee Jae-hoon - Winner)
Chef Jae-hoon!
Chef Jae-hoon won.
First of all, I just loved the meat.
I could taste the soy bean, so it tasted somewhat familiar.
But it went so well with chewy nurungji.
I thought it was really delicious.
So Chef Sam's bulgogi was too...
- No, it was good. - It was too familiar?
No, it wasn't too cliche.
- Something you've tasted before? - Umm...
Like airplane food?
- No, no. - Something that only old people will like?
No, it's not that.
I think Chef Jae-hoon's dish was more...unique and new to me.
Chef Jae-hoon became the receiver
of the very first badge in 2017 season.
Please tell us how you feel.
I don't think you expected to win.
I wasn't expecting it. So I'm still a bit shocked.
But I'm very happy right now.
Yes, he's very happy. As a very ambitious man, he tried very hard.
Chef Sam is a very strong championship candidate of this season.
It's the very first match, but he got defeated by the rookie.
It's really hard to guess how this season will go.
- This season is not going to be easy. - I agree.
I thought Chef Sam was going to win for sure.
The chef version of Kwon Sang-woo. 'Star badge comes back!'
- Chef Lee Jae-hoon! - Congratulations.
('Rice Pizza Heart Attack' - Winner)

(Chef Lee Jae-hoon's 'Rice Pizza Heart Attack' Full Recipe)
We'll move on to 'Night Snack That Won't Feel Light in the Morning'
cooking battle now.
It's not just night snack.
You need to understand Seol-hyun's personal preferences and...
it has to be something that won't make her face
swell up in the morning. So it's a very hard topic.
- And Chef Raymon. - Chef Duk-yoon.
He's also known as Chef Kim Duk-yoon.
He has to win to become Raymon Kim again.
Today, they're opponents.
- Look at that. - Look at his skill.
(But lost to Chef Sam!)
He looks very disappointed.
Duk-yoon! We have to call him Chef Duk-yoon now.
I don't think it's a bad idea to just go by Chef Duk-yoon.
(Chef Duk-yoon's revenge match)
(Cornering Sam Kim...)
(Raymon Kim - Winner!)
(His first victory as Chef Duk-yoon)
(Will he be able to escape from this identity confusion?)
He's looking for a chance to go back to Raymon Kim.
But today, Chef Lee Yeon-bok is his first opponent.
He was the first place winner
of 2014 - 2016 final evaluation match.
But I feel less burdened because I think I'll have to regain my name next time.
I'll just live as Kim Duk-yoon until then.
But you don't know when that next time will come. Maybe it will never happen.
You could just change your restaurant name to 'Chef Duk-yoon's'.
How are you feeling, Chef Lee? It's not an easy opponent.
I've been here for a long time so this feels like 'our home'.
And I think that...I should protect our home.
So Raymon is a foreigner.
An alien. That's how it feels like?
(Chef Raymon Kim's Ingredient Choice)
(Chef Lee Yeon-bok's Ingredient Choice)
Chef Raymon, what are you going to make today?
I'm going to make 'The Cinderella Pizza'.
- Pizza? - Pizza?
She just had a rice pizza. You're going to make it again?
Since last time, we keep overlapping. Me and Chef Jae-hoon.
We both made risotto and today, we're both pizzas.
Didn't you just decide on it because he won with the pizza?
It influenced it a little.
Okay, so you're going to make 'The Cinderella Pizza'.
Eating night snacks but face not swelling up and not gaining weight... it's impossible.
If you eat, every human will kind of swell up at least by 1g.
But I'm going to prevent that from happening at the best of my abilities.
I'll be using tomatoes, mushrooms...
I'll try to reduce potassium as much as possible.
Okay, so it's 'The Cinderella Pizza'.
Today, I'm going to make 'The Revenge Pancake'.
'The Revenge Pancake'.
Last time, Chef Sam lost.
So today, I'm going to revenge for him.
This will be a good welcoming ceremony for Chef Raymon.
'It's not easy to be here on this show'.
In Chinese cuisine, there's this dish called sugar glazed corn.
Oh, that dish is really delicious.
It's her birthday soon so I'll make that for her today.
Do you think you'll have enough time?
- I must try. - All right.
He's determined to show Chef Raymon what kind of place this is.
All right, we'll go ahead and get started with this cooking battle.
He's ready to go for the championship of this season again.
The legendary Chinese cuisine chef, Chef Lee Yeon-bok.
It's him against Chef Raymon, a macho man, who is determined
to change the legend and write a new history.
Who will be able to accommodate Seol-hyun's requests? And win the first victory?
Let's start the 2nd cooking battle!
It's Lee Yeon-bok against Raymon Kim.
It's Raymon Kim against Lee Yeon-bok.
This is going to be a famous match.
(1. Sift canned corn.)
(2. Mix with egg, cooking wine and salt.)
- You're going to use corn for the pancake as well? - Yes.
Since it's revenge match...the corns, do they represent 'teeth'?
- Punched and teeth falling out. - He got punched.
Chef Lee's one strong punch.
At least three teeth falling out.
(Slice onions and put them in the corn water)
Chef Lee is pouring the mixture in the middle of an onion ring.
- He's focusing a lot on the decoration. - It's so pretty.
- Quite unbelievable. - He's not going to lose to a younger person.
In the onion mold...
He just added a smaller onion ring.
Egg is very expensive these days.
Caring about both taste and visual.
I think that shows his determination to win.
(Chef Raymon is preparing the sweet pumpkin first.)
(1. Slice the inner part of sweet pumpkin.)
(2. Add instant rice and mix.)
(That will be the dough)
He's making a different type of dough.
Yes, it's different from the one Chef Jae-hoon made.
His was a thin one like napoli pizza.
This one is American style, a thicker dough.
So Chef Jae-hoon was like European style.
This one's American style.
Oh, on the bottom...
I think he's going to maintain that rough shape.
To make them hold together.
And now chopping pork belly.
(5. Add salt in boiling water)
He didn't put the salt directly on the meat. He put it in the water.
The pork will get seasoned, too.
It won't be too salty. It will be just right.
He added salt to the oil.
- Is this Chinese cooking method? - Yes.
Oh, wow...Chef Raymon. Now even utilizing Chinese cuisine method.
They're switched. The methods they're using.
Chef Lee is using the American style method.
And Chef Raymon is using Chinese method.
(Preparing tomatoes for the sauce)
(5. Blanch tomato. Peel and chop it.)
You're going to put tomatoes as well?
It's for the sauce.
(6. Chop onion, garlic, green onion. Stir-fry with tomatoes.)
(Peel an apple
and slice it)
(7. Then mince it with a blender)
(8. Stir-fry the apple with other ingredients)
- Oh, lemon. - Yes.
So it's more of American cuisine rather than Chinese.
- Is that sauce Chinese cuisine style? - Yes.
All right.
(Flipping over the pancake...)
- Isn't it burnt? - Is it?
You have to burn it slightly.
It's called 'glazing'. It's a technique.
All right, Chef Lee is using the glazing technique.
(6. Get rid of extra oil from the fried pork belly.)
(Chef Raymon is making salad)
(7. Dice a tomato and an apple.)
Poong, could you please get about three strawberries from the fridge?
- You have to go yourself. - Oh, I do?
Yes, you need to run. Go get 3 strawberries.
He was about to ask Poong but...
Looking for 3 strawberries.
The clock is ticking.
- He's very fast. - You should've gotten it earlier.
Usually, you'd just take the whole pack since the time is limited.
But he actually picked out 3 strawberries.
Yes, he could've just brought the whole box.
He's very honest.
I guess that's why his name has character 'duk(morality)' in it.
(9. Mix the tomato, apple, strawberry, salt, cereal and yogurt)
(The fruit salad that will be served with the pizza is ready!)
(Chef Lee is gong to make the sugar-glazed corn now)
(10. Mix corns and starch to make the dough.)
He's making his famous wontons.
Oh, his wontons.
He's showing lots of techniques since the beginning of the new year.
I've tried his sugar-glazed corn before.
- It's delicious. - It's insanely good.
It's going to have a huge impact. Everyone is very excited.
- I'll go over there and check it out. - All right.
A very intense match between Chef Raymon and Chef Lee.
(10. Stir-fry hot pepper, mushroom, and canned corns.)
It's Raymon Kim vs. Lee Yeon-bok.
He's making the pizza...whoa!
- It fell. - You can't eat the wrapper.
He's very calm. Like nothing happened.
And now, he's adding water.
And what is this for?
- It's the sauce. - Oh, the sauce.
I was going to use cheese but she didn't have it.
Can I try this sauce?
I don't think it's ready yet.
There won't be enough time.
About 3 minutes and 10 seconds left.
It's 'The Cinderella Pizza'.
How is it?
It's too salty!
It's too salty.
It's very salty.
I'm positive that her face will swell up like crazy the next day.
You might not be able to recognize her.
So he keeps adding water.
That's why I asked you to try later.
Because I was gong to add some water and stir it.
This time, I'll try Chef Lee's sauce that will go with the pancake.
The one with the apple and the tomato?
All right.
Is it refreshing?
It's very light!
She'll feel very light the next morning.
All right. It's Chef Lee of course.
It's slightly sour and it definitely does taste like Chinese sauce.
(12. Get rid of extra oil from fried corn wontons.)
Oh, melting sugar.
I'll be using sugar only.
So that her face doesn't swell up in the morning.
So I'm not going to use oil.
He's going to try his best to accommodate Seol-hyun's needs.
- This is an art itself. - 1 minute and 40 seconds left now.
He's putting them on a plate.
Oh, it fell!
We can give that one to Poong.
That's for Poong.
(12. Put the dough on a plate.)
(13. Grill sliced tomatoes.)
(13. Add the cream sauce, grilled tomatoes,)
(and then the cream sauce again.)
1 minute and 10 seconds left.
1 minute and 10 seconds left. Oh, look!
He's using a torch.
Chef Raymon is going to torch it.
And then putting the salad on the side.
It's made with apple, tomato and yogurt.
(15. Put starch water, salt and pepper into the tomato apple sauce.)
(Starts his plating right away)
(16. Put the sauce and then put the corn pancake on the top.)
Not much time left now. He's putting the wontons on a plate.
- He looks busy. - Very busy.
Is Chef Lee done?
Chef Lee finished!
(17. Add fried pork belly to finish it up.)
And now Raymon Kim. He's done, too.
About 30 seconds were left.
They both finished in time.
(Refreshing corn onion pancake that won't be too heavy)
(Chef Lee Yeon-bok's 'The Revenge Pancake')
So it's a pancake. He used western style cooking method.
It's my first time seeing him using that kind of technique.
With the sauce.
(Nervous)
- It's very good. - Is it?
Is it okay if I keep saying that everything's delicious?
But they're really good.
Are they really?
The previous dishes were so good, too.
I kinda wish it had more corns in it.
Just a little more.
Something that you can chew on more.
I thought this pancake was gonna be good...
but I'm really excited about this one, too.
There's a reason I made this sugar-glazed corn today.
In Chinese, it's called 'Basi'.
So it's like...
'Happy Basi-day to Seol-hyun'.
'Happy Basi-day'.
- 'Happy Basi-day'. - I see.
I guess he really wants the star badge.
Put it in the cold water first and then try it.
It will be more crispy.
The water wont' get through.
- It won't. - Because it's coated.
'Happy Basi-day'. She's trying it now.
Well, this one is...
Oh, the sound.
It was actually like a bonus dish on the side.
Personally, I like this one more.
But the title is 'The Revenge Pancake'.
But she likes the basi more.
Well, they're a set.
- They're together. They're one plate. - All right, it's a combination menu.
Not separate.
Because Chinese cuisine has lots of course meals.
Good thing that he made that basi.
But this sauce is really refreshing.
I don't think it will make my face swell up.
- Oh, it's not salty? - No.
It's not salty. It's spicy and sweet. It's something I want to try making.
It's very good.
If you only have to choose one between the pancake and the basi?
All right, 'Happy Basi-day!'
(Night snack pizza with refreshing fruits)
(Chef Raymon's 'The Cinderella Pizza')
'The Cinderella Pizza' after the rice pizza.
He actually used rice in this one, too.
Yes, she's trying the pizza part first.
With some meat.
When I tried it earlier, I thought it was a bit salty.
She's like eating her hair, too.
She gently puts it behind her ear.
It's delicious.
All right, so far so good.
But...
it tastes like something....that will make you gain weight.
I mean it's really delicious.
It's really good but I think it will make my face swell up.
- But it's really good. - It's still really good.
You put a big piece of tomato in there.
Yes, because that will help with the swelling.
So you have to eat it together.
Trying one more time with the tomato.
It might have tasted too oily without it.
How will that make a difference?
Will it still taste like it's fattening?
It's good with tomatoes, too.
Personally, I think it better with the tomatoes.
So the calories you burn by chewing is higher than the calories of a tomato.
So you can think of it as a minus calorie.
Because it has little calories, chewing is enough to burn them all.
- By just chewing? - It's really true.
She keeps eating it.
She really enjoys the food when she eats.
- Yes. - She looks very joyful.
So now, it's very difficult to say which one's better.
Everyone will try now.
First, Chef Lee's 'The Revenge Pancake'.
Alright, trying the pancake.
This is not a Chinese cuisine.
Basi is really good.
It just makes me smile because it's so good.
The pancake, it kinda tastes like okonomiyaki.
But that one uses soy sauce as a base.
This one goes really well with the tomato apple sauce.
- I'd love to try some more. - All right.
Like mentioned, it really tastes like western food.
Kinda like omelet with tomato sauce.
And basi is like the dessert. It's like a course meal.
It's so amazing...because Seol-hyun wanted something that won't make her swell.
When he was melting sugar, I thought he didn't have enough time.
If he added oil, it would've melted faster.
But he didn't. He kept stirring it.
I respect him.
If it has too much oil in it, I thought it will make her face swell.
All right. This time, we'll try 'The Cinderella Pizza'.
The colors are so beautiful.
(Wow...)
By just appearance, I was more attracted to Chef Lee's.
But when I smelled this one, it smelled so good.
It has like different smells depending on where you smell it.
Two different aroma from the fruits and the pizza.
I thought it was really good. But one unfortunate fact is that...
I didn't know but the pizza Chef Jae-hoon made...
parts of it are still stuck in my teeth. So the taste got mixed.
It got mixed up?
For us, it gets stuck easily.
Too much gap between the teeth.
They're both nighttime snacks. But when you try Chef Lee's dish,
you will think that
I should stop eating now...
But if you try this one, this will taste like an appetizer.
You’ll be craving more food.
- Didn't you crave beer? - Yes.
You guys are not helping.
I'm just saying that it's that good.
All right, it's time to choose now.
Number 1 is Chef Raymon's dish. Number 2 is Chef Lee's dish.
'That Won't Feel To Heavy In The Morning...'
Which night time snack? She's pressing it!
One of the two won't be able to wake up tomorrow morning.
Yes, one cannot go home straight tonight.
Let's see which one Seol-hyun chose.
Night time snack that won't feel too heavy in the next day!
Is it Chef Lee or Chef Raymon?
Show us the result!
Is it Chef Lee or Chef Raymon?
Show us the result!
Who is it? Chef Lee Yeon-bok!
('The Revenge Pancake' - Winner)
Chef Lee won.
Seol-hyun chose Chef Lee's dish.
He was really considerate of my request.
So that's why I was very touched.
And basi was just so amazing.
I really put a lot of effort to make it less fattening.
So it ended up a bit differently than I expected.
But I'm still happy because I won.
Oh, Chef Raymon.
- It's Chef Duk-yoon. - Oh, right.
- Hasn't regained his name yet. - Thank you.
It was really good.
I'm not surprised by the result.
Because next time, I'll have a chance to win.
So think of today as a preliminary experience.
There will be more opportunities in the future.
Chef Lee! Starting off well!
His first victory. His first star badge. Congratulations.
(Chef Lee Yeon-bok's 'The Revenge Pancake' - Winner)
He gives very shrewd advices.
"If you're sick, it means you're sick. Why do you call it 'romantic'?"
I crave attention from people.
- You know GD well? - You should call him right here.
Yes, one day...I'm going to use my acquaintance with GD to...
I'm sorry, but I don't think today's the day.
Very shrewd.
We'll start the match between the two new chefs who are very handsome.
They're the next generation Chinese cuisine chefs.
It's Chef Park Gun-yeong against Chef Joo Bae-ahn.
- I think I'm stronger. - I think I look younger.
- I'm not sure about that. - Oh, intimidation.
If you win, you'll get an opportunity to compete against the master,
Chef Lee Yeon-bok.
Very soft.
It's as if he's dancing.
- And over here... - Chef Park Gun-yeong.
- Very neat. - Making no mistake.
(Utilizing all the fancy techniques)
I've never seen that.
- I can't even talk to them right now. - Very intense.
Who will get to compete against the teacher?
- It's actually... - Yes?
- even saltier than I thought. - Is it?
