(Last week's refrigerator owners)
Our eternal Dooly and Madonna!
It's Byeon Jin-seop and Kim Wan-sun!
We can say, Korea's ballad songs began with Byeon Jin-seop?
The father of ballads?
How come I don't like hearing the word father?
(Back to the 1980's)
(Byeon Jin-seop's special concert)
We'll now begin our cooking battle!
The radish's color is very pretty.
It looks really pretty that way.
Is it ceviche? Is that ceviche?
He's eating the hair-tail. He's eating it in one bite.
This is really good.
- Ceviche! - So, this is what it was.
I kind of have a lot of difficulty deciding.
- She should press the button too. - No, I can't.
The both chose the same chef.
Are you serious?
A weight has lifted off my shoulders.
Who won?
He's written new history on the show by winning seven in a row.
I'm sorry.
No way!
We need to talk with our generation's two top stars.
If Byeon Jin-seop was Korea's first million-seller...
Kim Wan-sun was Korean's first woman to sell a million records.
I'd rather like...
a smiling Pierrot. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was thing song.
I was allowed to go out every Saturday when I was an athlete.
- I loved the Saturday night song. - "A Good Day".
I would sing that song while I was on my way out.
I would work out every day and be allowed to go out once on Saturday.
I would sing this song while I was on my way out.
I was excited since I wasn't allowed to go out.
I think Kim Wan-sun's best song is...
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of the darkness tonight.
The lady next to her would say, "Your eyes are more scary".
It was the talk of the town back then.
- When we talk about the old days, I see pictures affiliated with my songs. - Yes.
I even get scared when I see those pictures and ask what was wrong with me.
I think I looked scary too.
It's fine when you see her normally, but she'll have that look on stage sometimes.
When Kim Wan-sun used to be backstage...
she would always be in the corner quietly by herself.
- I see. - That's why male singers liked her even more.
- You debuted one year before him. - Yes, I did.
Do you remember the first time you saw him?
Of course, I remember Byeon Jin-seop, the singer...
but I don't remember how we met the first time.
He must have not have had a striking image when you first saw him.
We had some great singers back then, like Lee Seung-chul.
- Wasn't Firetruck popular too? - Yes, of course.
- Park Nam-Jung. - Yes, Park Nam-Jung.
I'd be considered top class between those singers.
- I only say the facts. - I see.
Could you not laugh like that?
- Byeon Jin-seop told me this as well. - Yes?
All the female entertainers liked me back then.
Is this true as well?
It was even more true for female actresses.
- Even actresses? - This is true.
It really is the truth.
When we're on a show, actresses would be in the make-up room...
and they would sneak a peak inside his room.
Those beautiful actresses would go through all that to see Byeon Jin-seop.
- To see him? - Yes.
When we were talk amongst ourselves...
we would ask ourselves...
"Why...?".
Why would they go through all that?
Why did they like male singers so much?
- Because, right now... - Can you think before you start talking?
It's not that. Within our generation...
actors are much more popular than they used to be.
During the 1980s up until the late 1990s...
- the most popular entertainers were singers. - Singers used to be the stars.
We see a lot of Korean wave these days but...
to be honest, Kim Wan-sun even states it herself...
but she was the first record Korean wave star.
I said it myself?
- I went to Hong Kong in 1993. - I see.
I released went to Taiwan in 1993, and released my album in 1995.
I was received well over there, but we didn't have the internet back then.
Therefore, people in Korea didn't know I was performing there.
After that, when Clon came to Taiwan to perform...
they were introduced as singers, who were from Kim Wan-sun's country.
- You went there before Clon? - Yes.
- You had already made a living there. - Yes.
That must mean you ate a lot of Hong Kong or Taiwanese food while you were there.
To be honest, it's hard for me to eat a meal without kimchee.
But I couldn't have any kimchee while I was there.
I didn't eat kimchee for four years, while I was there.
I didn't need to think about kimchee since the food there was so delicious.
- There a lot of good food there. - Yes.
Yes, serious. The food was so good there.
- I love Chinese food. - Does the food suit you?
Yes, it does.
Do you still live by yourself?
- Yes. - Don't you get lonely?
I raise six cats.
- At home? - Yes.
- I don't have time to be lonely. - My goodness.
- What do you think, Jin-seop? Wasn't she popular? - Yes.
Why do you think she hasn't married yet?
I think she lost track of time.
When we interviewed him...
he said it was because you still haven't gotten over him.
She's still living alone because of Jin-seop?
But really.
It could be a part of the reason.
He's saying it could be a possibility.
Of course, we don't understand it.
Sure, sure.
We did some other research as well.
There's a person she's had a crush on for many years.
- I heard you liked Lee Min-ho. - Lee Min-ho!
- Lee Min-ho! - She's even watched his dramas over and over again.
That's why I'm kind of jealous of women named Susie. They're so lucky.
- He's recently dating Suzy. - I've been jealous lately.
I thought maybe men just liked...
women, who are named Susie.
Maybe I should change my name to Susie.
Maybe you should change your name to Kim Susie?
Kim Susie.
It's also because Kang Susie is also in a relationship these days.
Maybe my name is too strong.
My parents didn't actually name me.
I was named Wan-sun, so they could have a son after me.
People did that back then.
They told my parents, a son would be born if I was named Wan-sun.
They went along with it, but I have a younger sister.
That's why, they should've named me Susie.
- It's a shame. - You've been around Susie during her relationship, right?
- Yes. - Don't you get jealous?
Yes, I'm very jealous.
Honestly, before they started dating, I saw the two of them together.
The two of them were doing something together...
and I realized they looked great together.
So, I told Susie have an open-mind about having a meal with him.
I told her she looked great with him.
- You assisted them in getting together. - I did.
I helped a lot.
Wasn't there anyone who tried recommending a guy to you?
The people, who come on my show aren't looking for women in my age.
Is it because you are looking for a really young guy for yourself?
No, it's not that.
If they're older than me, then he's...
If you think about it that way, you're right.
- Don't you think so? - Yes.
- Not a little younger, but a lot younger? - I think so.
The younger the better.
Men marry women, who are 12 years younger than them.
Why can't I?
Why can't she do the same?
- Women can marry men, who are younger. - Of course.
Of course.
Aren't you about 12-years younger than Wan-sun, Mihal?
- My Chinese zodiac sign is the dog. - A dog.
- He's 13-years younger than her. - I was born in the beginning of 1982.
- The beginning of 1982. - He seems very Korean.
What do you think Kim Wan-sun's charm is?
It's the first time you've ever met her.
She's very beautiful. I was surprised when I first saw her.
- Really? - I think he saw her in the waiting area.
He asked if she was a guest and I told him she was.
He said, "Wow, fantastic!".
- Were you being serious? - Really?
Thank you very much.
- How do you feel about older women? - I've dated a lot of older women.
He just told her he dated a lot of older women.
I don't mind that.
- I like guys, who have dated around. - Really? - Yes.
- We might have a couple. - I know.
Do you think she would be popular in Bulgaria?
- I think they'd go crazy. - They'd go crazy. - Really?
I bet Kim Wan-sun will be visiting Europe in the near future.
Is she going to release an album in Bulgaria?
It's also fascinating that Kim wan-sun hasn't changed since we were in school.
Is there a secret to keeping your youth?
- I go get massages. - Massage!
She's honest.
There's a big difference between getting massages and not getting them.
I started getting facial massages in my mid-forty's.
The dermatologist told me...
I started way too late.
But it's never too late to start taking care of yourself.
I heard something else as well.
I heard you've kept your weight the same for the past 20-years.
Yes, I fluctuate between 100 to 102-pounds.
For 20-years?
I eat anything I want and...
I don't think about what is fattening and what isn't fattening.
I eat anything and everything I think is delicious.
But, I only eat a little bit.
- The quantity is very small. - That's really hard.
There are times when I stuff myself.
If I do that, I try to eat very little the next day.
I'll eat ramen when I want to eat something simple.
And honestly, I personally love ramen.
I love it so much, sometimes before I go to sleep...
I'll be excited just thinking about how I'll be able to eat ramen the next day.
- I used to eat ramen as soon as I woke up. - That much?
I'm sure when we look inside her fridge...
we'll see her secrets to keeping her weight down and...
- herself young. - I'm sure there will be.
But before we look at Kim Wan-sun's refrigerator...
we'll see who will be battling one another.
Lee Yeon-bok, Kim Poong, Sam Kim and Mihal.
What kinds of dishes did Kim Wan-sun want?
Show us her wish dish themes.
Kim Wan-sun!
Chefs! Please cook me Chinese-cuisine.
Please Cooke me Chinese-cuisine.
The second theme is, tonight...
I miss vegetables.
The first theme is Chinese-cuisine.
- As I said before, I really enjoy Chinese food. - It suits you.
Anything that's Chinese-cuisine related.
Can you tell us some of your favorite Chinese dishes?
There's too many, but all of their vegetable dishes.
- Anything with vegetables in it. - Sauteed dishes, like sauteed water spinach.
I also like Szechwan-cuisine since I like spicy food.
- You like spicy foods? - Yes, and I eat it very well.
- Spicy food. - Szechwan-cuisine is nice.
Her mouth must be watering again.
Let's take a break for Kim Wan-sun to swallow her saliva before we move on.
We also have, I miss vegetables.
I think I've always liked vegetable dishes over meat dishes.
Vegetables over meat. If there are any chefs...
that would rather use meat in their dish, it should be a side dish.
The vegetables will be the main.
It'd be great if you made a new and innovative vegetarian dish.
It'll be hard for the chefs.
- (Kim Poong vs. Lee Yeon-bok) - (Mihal vs. Sam Kim)
- We'll now start to look at Kim Wan-sun's refrigerator. - Yes.
How long have you lived alone?
About 16-years.
It's already been 16-years.
I believe a lot of people will be curious what's in her refrigerator.
Women would like to know how she's keeping herself young and youthful.
Everyone, get ready to take notes.
It's been a while since I said it, but stay tuned.
Let's go take a look at Kim Wan-sun's refrigerator.
Your fridge isn't too big.
- She lives alone. - It's very simple. - Yes.
I don't have use for a big fridge.
- Really? - Yes.
I'm very curious as to what's inside.
It'll be the first time Kim Wan-sun reveals her fridge on a show!
Here we go! Kim Wan-sun's fridge!
(What the...)
Here we go! Kim Wan-sun's fridge!
Kim Wan-sun!
Your fridge!
- Where did 90-pounds go? - Wait a second.
Your fridge is kind of empty!
There are empty shelves.
It's so empty. Is this your main fridge?
Yes, that's my main fridge but I also have a beverage fridge.
- You have a separate beverage fridge? - Here, it is.
All her beverages are here.
It's fridge for alcohol.
Is alcohol considered a beverage to you?
There's only alcohol in here.
Is alcohol considered a beverage to you?
There's a variety of alcohol here.
I usually have beer when I'm at home.
I like drinking beer.
Do you eat any chasers?
- No, not really. - She uses rhythm.
- Rhythm. - Yes.
She drink beer and uses rhythm as her chaser.
They're being taken care of nicely.
The main refrigerator seems a bit on the empty side.
To be honest, there's a reason why my fridge is so empty.
My mom and my sister live right next to me.
When I'm craving something, I ask them to make it.
When I tell my sister, I'm craving a dish, she'll make it and send it to me.
I see.
I'm able to eat without actually having to cook for myself.
- How nice. - I see.
You're very loved, even by your family.
Let's look through each one. I'm sure we'll find something.
- Sure. - A secret ingredient to keep her weight down.
- I see fruit. - Grapes.
She has grapes.
There's kiwi.
I don't usually eat fruits at home since it attracts fruit flies.
It's also very hard to throw away trash from the fruits.
I don't eat fruit because it produces too much trash.
But it's very easy to eat kiwi.
- You just need to cut it in half and use a spoon. - Yes, all you need is a spoon.
- I bet you don't eat melons or watermelons. - No way.
- This is... - Peanut butter.
The size of your peanut butter is pretty big.
Do you just eat peanut butter with your spoon?
Yes, I'll sometimes take a couple of spoons.
You don't eat it with anything else?
Just dollops? You don't spread it on bread?
That would be tiresome, so I just eat it with a spoon.
I believe peanut butter is very fattening.
- It's very high in calories. - Like I said...
I don't eat a lot of it.
It's because she has a small stomach.
What is this?
What did you put in here?
My sister makes that and delivers it to me whenever I run out.
- It's marinated grapefruit. - Marinated grapefruit.
Those are the kind of items that I can eat with a spoon and close it back up.
And I can eat it at any time.
She doesn't eat a lot. What's this?
- Olives? - Yes, olives.
- Olives. - I just eat those out of the container as well.
- You eat a couple and close the container again. - Yes, that's right.
Her style of eating is almost like astronauts in space.
- That's true. - She's eating like astronauts.
- It's tiresome trying to eat everything formally. - It's tiresome?
I think I'm very lazy with anything that has to do with the kitchen.
The way I see it, she only eat a little bit and dances a lot on stage.
That's her diet.
- A natural diet? - Yes, a natural diet.
Let's move onto the next shelf.
The container says ground perilla seeds.
It's not ground perilla seeds.
It has chili pepper kimchee in there.
These are all chili peppers.
- They're Serrano peppers, but made into kimchee. - Pepper kimchee.
Yes, like pepper kimchee.
I've never seen it look like this.
I bet if Raymond Kim tries a piece of that kimchee...
- He'll die? - He could die.
Is it really spicy?
I don't think I can eat it.
Let's try it.
Kim Wan-sun's mother made it.
- It looks really pretty. - It's spicy, so just take one bite.
We should try just a bite.
- Let's try it. - Let's see how spicy she likes her food.
- Will it really make you die? - It looks really pretty.
- I can't eat peppers very well. - It's not that spicy.
It's not spicy? Yes, it is. Do you see the inside?
- Yes. - I had some of that and it's really spicy.
(Fire)
It's only good if you eat the kimchee's filling.
- It is really spicy but... - How's Sam Kim doing?
(The spicier it becomes as time passes)
Raymond and Sam Kim!
- I got the hiccups. - What are we going to do?
Isn't it spicy, Kim Poong?
- You sound like Lee Gyeung-young. - It's very spicy.
(Lee Gyeung-young automatically comes out)
It's been a while since we heard that voice.
Would you like to hear Lee Gyeung-young's voice?
What would Lee Gyeung-young say after eating that kimchee?
Tell us how the chili pepper tastes.
It's very spicy.
He's really good.
- Did you have some, Mihal? - Yes, it's my style.
What's your style? Wan-sun is?
He keeps saying she's her style on the show.
Kim Wan-sun is smiling while she eats it right now.
- It's nothing to her. - It's a bit on the spicy side.
- You're good with it? - I still think it's good.
- It's really good with cup ramen. - With cup ramen? - Yes.
- It's spicier when you eat it with something hot. - Of course, it's spicier.
I'll jump and down because it's so spicy, but I'll still eat it.
That's another secret to her diet.
I really do think that liking spicy foods...
does help me with my diet.
- Eating spicy? - Yes, spicy food.
Please take note of it.
Let's move onto the side shelves. Isn't this a Chinese sauce?
- I really like that sauce. - You really like it?
Sriracha sauce.
Don't you put that in Vietnamese rice noodles?
I really like rice noodles.
I'll put that all over my soup when I eat it.
- Your dishes should be spicy. - Yes, it's point we need to consider.
She loves all sorts of spicy foods.
- The drawers. - Yes, the drawers.
It's the fresh drawers.
Tomato’s! You must like tomato’s.
I sometimes eat it with sliced mozzarella cheese.
- It's a simple dish to make and eat. - Yes, it's a simple dish.
I eat it like that sometimes.
It doesn't produce a lot of trash either.
Sam and Mihal should pay close attention to the vegetables.
We have mushrooms.
- Enoki mushrooms. - Enoki mushrooms!
We have perilla leaves and radish.
- We have radish and Chinese yams. - Yes, Chinese yams.
I have radish and Chinese yams.
She has radish and Chinese yams.
- Mamamoo? - Radish and Chinese yams.
- Mamamoo? - Mamamoo!
Mamamoo!
You guys really are old geezers.
- Why is this so fun? - Things like this are fun.
How do you eat Enoki mushrooms?
I just put it in my ramen.
- Ramen! - Or I'll blanch it and dip it in soy sauce.
Can you eat a whole ramen?
I don't eat all of it if it's the package type.
Sometimes I'll make one ramen and keep the left-overs.
If I have it in the morning, there's usually no soup left at night.
- I'll take the left-over and mix it again. - Ramen? - Yes.
Then, it becomes like new ramen to me.
- It's no longer ramen, but mixed noodles. - Yes, that's right.
Doesn't the noodle get too soggy?
But I like soggy noodles.
- Some might think it doesn't make sense, but I think it would taste good. - It is.
It's especially good with that spicy kimchee.
When you hear her situation, you'd want someone taking care of her.
Let's take a look at the freezer.
This says "CN".
What's this? It says "MJ".
Oh, those!
I recently went to Boracay.
I brought back jam from there. It's the devil's jam.
- The devil's jam? - The devil's jam?
- What is it? - Something edible?
- It's really good. - What is it? - Coconut jam.
- It says, "MJ" on it. - Can you eat it and put it on your face too?
No, no. You just eat it.
- It's edible and you can put it on your face? - There's nothing like that.
Everyone needs to taste what Kim Wan-sun thinks is really delicious.
What kind of tastes does she like?
- The devil's jam? - There's coconut bits in here too. - It's not spicy.
It's really delicious if you put some on crackers and eat it.
- Next, what's this? - Fish.
She has fish in here!
My sister bought those for me to eat whenever I need protein...
or feel tired from not having enough protein.
- I can cook it and eat it with soy sauce. - I see.
- There's meat in here! - We have beef!
I can cook each roll for myself.
They're packaged separately for me to eat when I need protein.
She has beef rib meat when she needs protein.
We've seen all of her fridge, but I see some drawers here.
What is this?
- She must really like ramen. - Yes.
Is this the cup ramen size you like?
- About this size? - Yes.
- She doesn't eat a lot. - No.
- She also has ground Serrano peppers as well. - Ground Serrano peppers!
Ground Serrano peppers and regular chili pepper.
- That's crazy. Why do you like so much spicy food? - You can't leave out spice.
We've verified Kim Wan-sun enjoys eating dishes that are spicy.
She's still eating dollops of coconut jam while we're talking.
This isn't spicy, but I still like this.
Great. That concludes our introduction of Kim Wan-sun's refrigerator.
- (Kim Poong vs. Lee Yeon-bok) - (Mihal vs. Sam Kim)
We'll now start our cooking battle with ingredients from Kim Wan-sun's fridge.
Chefs! Please make me Chinese-cuisine.
Please make me Chinese-cuisine.
That's the dish we're looking for.
Our first battle will be Korea's top Chinese-cuisine chef, Lee Yeon-bok...
against the best thief of cooking-techniques.
Kim Poong is standing in front of us now.
What do you think about Kim Poong's Chinese-cooking technique?
These days, he's not Kim Poong but King Poong.
- He's King Poong? - Yes, King Poong.
- He's King Poong? - Yes.
His knowledge of Chinese-cooking is crazy.
I can no longer lose to Kim Poong.
So, I'll try my very best today.
Raymond Kim has seven wins, right now.
- You're right. - I need to surpass him and go for 8 wins.
- I need to break his record. - You're going to start as well.
He has a new objective, doesn't he?
- He has competition. - Yes.
Any which way, we have a problem right now.
It's Kim Poong.
Last season, his consecutive losing streak was...
six losses in a row.
It'll be six losses in a row if he loses again today.
- Kim Poong will reset his losing streak again. He's very depressed. - Oh, no.
How will this end?
She's already having a hard time.
You don't need to worry about their records.
I'm not telling you this, so you can be burdened by it, Wan-sun!
One side has six wins and needs their seventh win.
The other side has six losses in a row and can't lose anymore.
- What am I going to do? - You don't need to think about that.
You just need to choose the dish.
We'll take care of their record.
(Kim Poong's ingredients: cod and Enoki mushrooms)
(Chef Lee Yeon-bok's ingredients: cod, beef, kiwi...
mushrooms, oyster sauce ramen, Sriracha sauce)
What dish will you be making, Kim Poong?
The title of my dish today is...
- "Kim Wan-sum". - "Kim Wan-sum"?
I like the title.
What kind of dish is it?
There's a dim-sum dish in China called Chang-fen.
- Chang-fen? - Yes, it's a dim-sum that looks similar to beef intestines.
- Chang-fen? - Yes, the outside is made with rice flour and plain flour.
You steam that to make the skin.
You can either put shrimp or pork on it.
She must know this dish.
- I love this dish. - She loves the dish!
You picked the right dish!
Yes, but the problem is the time.
- Isn't the skin a very loose and soft? - Yes, the skin is loose.
Her mouth is already starting to water.
It looks like you're going to end your losing streak.
My dish's title today is, "Wan-sun Ate This and Smiled".
It's no longer Pierrot that's smiling.
"Wan-sun Ate This and Smiled".
Yes, yes, yes.
Taiwan's representative dish would be a beef broth soup with noodles.
I'm going to marinade the beef and braise the beef to make the dish.
I'll cook the beef and pour broth into it.
Hong Kong and Cantonese's representative dish is steamed fish.
I saw cod in her fridge, so I'll make steamed cod.
I'll use Sriracha sauce to make a more stronger sauce.
I'll prepare beef soup with noodles and steamed fish for her to eat together.
He has no thought of going easy on Kim Poong today.
He's trying to totally destroy him by making two dishes.
He's throwing two punches.
We'll now begin our Chinese-cuisine cooking battle.
It's Chef Lee Yeon-bok, who will make you question...
if it's real as soon as you take a bite...
versus Kim Poong, who is also know to us as King Poong and hopes to...
show us a high-quality meal.
Will there be a Chinese dish that makes Kim Wan-sun dance?
We'll now begin our 15-minute cooking battle!
Chef Lee Yeon-bok needs to make two dishes.
Kim Poong only needs to make one dish.
I believe Kim Poong will stay alert for about 7-minutes.
About seven minutes?
He'll start to lose it after the 8th minute.
He's very alert right now.
Is it difficult making Chang-fen?
It is since you need to mix it well and steam it precisely.
I'm afraid she might be get Chang rice cakes instead.
(1. In a blender, mix soaked rice, flour, starch and water to make wonton skin)
(We see a slightly nervous King Poong)
Yes, Kim Poong.
Would it be a turn of events if Kim Poong wins?
It would be a big turn of events, but Kim Poong does lead 2-1 in battles.
- Really? - In the beginning when he was good.
His idea of food and his cartoons are very similar.
- He's very tuned to cooking. - I wonder what kind of dish he'll make.
(Chef Lee Yeon-bok begins to prep his beef)
(1. Cut beef into bite-sized pieces)
I think he's putting kiwi into the beef.
- He's really putting kiwi in. - Kiwi!
- It helps tenderize the meat faster. - To tenderize it.
- Yes, I'm going to grind the kiwi. - Kiwi can do that as well?
- People tenderize meat by marinating it in ground kiwi. - I see.
Really?
(He now begins to marinade the beef)
(3. Mix blended kiwi, large green onions, ginger juice...
soy sauce, sugar, mushrooms, pepper and cooking wine with beef)
- Chef Lee Yeon-bok was the head chef for the Taiwan embassy. - Really?
Yes, that's why he would know how to cater to Taiwanese taste buds.
My mouth is already watering from watching them cook.
(Up until now, King Poong is still keeping his calm)
One side is Hong Kong-style cuisine and the other is Taiwan-style cuisine.
- It's Hong Kong versus Taiwan. - Yes, Hong Kong versus Taiwan.
Yes.
What are you burning in the frying pan?
- He's frying soy sauce. - You can fry soy sauce?
More of the soy sauce flavors come out when you fry it.
- When you fry soy sauce... - Yes?
the sauce has more depth than we can imagine.
- Like balsamic? - Yes, that's right.
He's putting water in it again.
He needs to make it into a sauce again.
You made that soy sauce.
I bet it's delicious.
He's bringing out the cod. The cod is out.
(Make knife marks on the cod)
The cod could become tough if Chef Lee Yeon-bok steams it right away.
That's why he's pouring hot water on the cod first.
(He adds ginger extract and cooking wine to get rid of the fishy smell)
(6. Sprinkle ginger extract, cooking wine and salt to cod and place into steamer)
When I first went to Hong Kong...
that steamed fish dish was the first dish I fell in love with.
- It has soy sauce with it. - Yes, soy sauce.
You take the fish and eat it on top of rice.
- Yes, it's delicious. - I bet it brings back memories. - Yes.
(He adds spice by adding Serrano peppers)
He's trying to make it spicy.
(6. Add finely diced Serrano peppers...
large green onions and minced garlic to soy sauce)
(He tries to cater to Wan-sun's preference to spicy food)
(7. Cut cod into appropriate size)
Raymond.
Raymond! Raymond! Do you have gloves?
Can I get a pair of gloves?
- What's wrong Kim Poong? - Did you hurt your hand?
I cut my pinky, but it's okay.
Your pinky? Yes, it's best to wear gloves.
Take your time.
- Just as I thought, it's past 7-minutes. - It's starting to get hard for him.
(6. In an oiled pan, add cod, salt, pepper, ginger and minced garlic)
Kim Poong is still trying his best even though he has an injury.
- Are you using Enoki mushrooms? - Yes.
Wow, Enoki mushrooms.
Kim Wan-sun said she eats Enoki mushrooms with her ramen.
(On the other hand, Chef Lee Yeon-bok is...)
(8. Cook ramen noodles)
(9. Slice large green onions)
(He begins to make his sauce)
(10. Make sauce by mixing soy sauce with sugar)
- Where are you going to use that sauce? - In the steamed cod.
- In the steamed cod? - Yes.
(11. Make another sauce with Sriracha, soy sauce and vinegar)
That's the sauce that will go on top of the cod.
- What was that red sauce? - Sukiyaki?
No, it's Sriracha.
Sriracha. Sriracha.
I'm surprised you didn't say, "Eurachacha".
He's starting to take out the noodles.
- He's catering to your taste since you like ramen. - Yes.
(13. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce and soy bean paste...
to the water that was boiling the ramen)
Are you adding MSG to your dish, Chef Lee Yeon-bok?
I needed oyster sauce and that ramen package had oyster sauce.
- I don't have oyster sauce. - He's making it since she didn't have it.
(Chef Lee Yeon-bok begins to prep his Serrano peppers)
(14. Finely mince peppers in a hand blender)
(15. Add finely minced peppers into the oyster sauce)
(King Poong begins to make his dim-sum)
(10. Add dim-sum skin batter into pan and close lid)
What's the ratio for your batter with rice flour?
One cup of rice flour with 2/3 cup flour...
2/3 cups starch and water...
- 2 cups. - You have 5-minutes left.
Could you go out there and tell us what Kim Poong is trying to say?
- Should I go? - I'm getting hot.
Kim Wan-sun is standing up.
This is the rice wonton skin you made?
He's putting in Enoki mushrooms and rolling it together.
- It's good! I did it. - Do you dip this? He's done it!
- I did it. - Wow!
- It looks like he's succeeded. - It burst.
- It burst! It's opened on the side. - It's okay.
Are you sure it's okay? This one is kind of open on the side.
What's he going to do?
I have to cook it this way but you're supposed to steam it.
(He's more meticulous making his second wonton skin)
Chef Lee Yeon-bok is starting to work on his ramen.
(16. Rinse noodles in cold water and add back into broth)
The noodles are going in for the beef broth noodles.
(17. Add beef and mushroom sautee to 16 with...
vegetables, oyster sauce to make beef broth noodles)
Chef Lee Yeon-bok has finished his Taiwanese beef broth noodles.
- He's done with one. - Yes, he is.
(13. Strain chili oil through a sieve)
(He adds cod and Enoki mushrooms again)
(One you start to roll it, it begins to look like intestines)
It's supposed to look like intestines.
Wow! Look at that.
- You have one-minute left, Kim Poong. - One more.
He's cooking one more. One more.
You only have one-minute left!
(At that time, Chef Lee Yeon-bok takes the lid off the steamed cod)
Chef Lee Yeon-bok is taking out the steamed cod!
You have less than 40-seconds.
The steamed cod! The steamed cod is finished.
(19. Add hot oil to 18 to cook)
The steamed cod looks delicious.
That looks good.
He's adding the Sriracha sauce to it now! Sriracha sauce!
You now have 30-seconds left.
30-seconds left.
It ripped open again! It's ripped again.
Give up on that!
20-seconds left!
You can serve just two of them!
He's putting on the soy sauce.
You have 7-seconds left. Chef Lee Yeon-bok is finished!
Five!
Four! Three!
Two!
One! The battle is over!
Kim Poong is finished as well.
That was a great battle.
- Kim Poong is finished. - It was a tight battle.
- I'm dizzy from it. - He's succeeded in making the dish.
- Kim Poong went crazy. - It really felt like a war.
(A spicy beef broth noodle and steamed cod with special sauce)
(Chef Lee Yeon-bok's "Wan-sun Ate This and Smiled".
- I can already... - The smell?
This is Taiwanese-style. You should try it first.
She's going to try the Taiwanese-style beef broth noodle.
(Wow)
Can you taste Taiwan?
It does?
Yes, and the spice level is spot on.
Kim Wan-sun loves noodles. She's trying it now.
The queen of noodles.
How are the noodles?
Is it cooked to your preference?
Could you try the beef and tell us what you think?
- It'll be bad if it's tough. - Of course.
- Don't you think it'll be good? - I haven't tried it yet.
Kim Wan-sun stated she didn't really prefer meat.
Can you tell us how the beef is in Chinese?
Well, it's tender.
- It means it's very soft. - Tender.
(She tries the broth again)
The broth must be very flavorful.
She's eating the noodles very well.
Am I taking too long to eat this?
- No, take your time. - Take your time.
- It's now time for the steamed cod. - So suddenly?
- The sauce is important. - I'll eat it with the sauce. - Sriracha sauce!
- I was really curious as to what this would taste like. - I see.
Now, it was the very first dish she was surprised by...
when she went to Hong Kong and had steamed fish.
Does it taste like you remember it?
This cod was frozen, so it's a bit more tough...
than the fish I had back when I first had it.
- She's being honest. - But the sauce itself...
make me feel like I'm back in Taiwan.
It's as good as the first time she ate steamed fish in Taiwan.
It has the original unique smooth taste of deep soy sauce flavors plus...
the spicy flavors are very apparent.
It turns up your taste buds since it's also very spicy.
That's great.
(A soft dim-sum filled with cod and Enoki mushrooms)
(Kim Poong's "Kim Wan-sum")
The dish was made with Hong Kong's Chang-fen in mind.
It's also the dish Kim Wan-sun stated she liked the best from dim-sums.
When I go eat dim-sum, this is the only thing I eat.
- That much? - Isn't the sauce supposed to be soy sauce?
- Yes. - But the sauce is very red.
Yes, I mixed some chili oil in there.
- Usually it doesn't have chili oil in it. - It's because she likes spicy food.
I know you like spicy food.
- She's going to try "Kim Wan-sum". - "Kim Wan-sum"!
Sum.
(Kim Wan-sun anticipates her "Kim Wan-sum")
(How will it taste?)
How will it...
taste?
We don't see a reaction from her yet.
Will we not make it to Hong Kong?
She tried flying to Hong Kong, but got stuck on an island named "Kim Wan-sum".
I'm actually very surprised by this dish.
I don't know how he was able to make this dish.
He made it nicely and it's also very soft.
- Is the wonton wrap very soft? - Yes.
To be honest, I've never tried eating this with any kind of spicy sauce.
When they serve it, it always has soy sauce on it.
It might be a similar dish...
but it feels like he made a new kind of Chang-fen dish.
- An upgraded Chang-fen? - It's delicious.
It really feels like I'm trying a new-style of dim-sum.
- Let's try it for ourselves. - Yes!
(They take a break before they start to eat)
(She sits in the same spot and keeps on eating)
She keeps on eating. She hasn't stopped eating.
It must be really good.
Stop eating. You still have another dish to eat.
I just want one more bite.
That's the strange thing about Kim Poong's dishes.
You keep eating it since it's the first time you've tasted something like that.
The first dish is Chef Lee Yeon-bok's "Wan-sun Ate This and Smiled".
Can we get two bowls?
Will we be smiling at the end?
There's noodles in here too.
- The broth is deep. - I like the broth.
- Wouldn't it be great for hangovers? - Yeah, this is great for hangovers.
(Slurping)
He made it spicy for Kim Wan-sun.
Steamed cod.
This is nice too.
The steamed cod is amazing. Wow.
Wow.
Could you take it easy on the ooh's and ahh's?
I'd like to say it too. Wow!
(Proud)
- The cod is a bit tough since it was frozen. - Right?
- But the sauce... - Covers for all of that.
You know the sauce you put over it?
I would love to keep it somewhere for myself.
That sauce would've made anything taste good.
- That sauce would make any fish taste good. - It doesn't have to be cod.
- This beef broth with noodles. - Yes, the noodles with beef broth.
The noodles with beef broth almost taste like a Korean dish.
- It had a familiar taste to me. - It would be good for Koreans? - Yes.
The broth is very delicious.
- I really enjoyed the cod. - I see.
You can't change the texture...
since it was frozen.
- He accentuated the taste of the fish, even though it was frozen. - I know.
It was delicious.
(Thankful)
- Let's now try Kim Poong's "Kim Wan-sum". - Yes, "Kim Wan-sum".
- This is Hong Kong's... - Chang-fen! - Yes, Chang-fen.
It's a dim-sum dish enjoyed in Hong Kong.
- It's good. - Isn't it really good? - Yes.
It's my first time trying Chang-fen.
- It's good. - He says it's good.
- I especially like the sauce. - Chili oil!
It feels like a real Chinese dish because of the soy sauce and chili oil.
- The flavors spread everywhere. - Yes.
- Koreans would like the wonton skin since it's like rice cakes. - You're right.
- It has the texture of rice cakes. - Yes, it does.
You did a good job of catering to Korean taste buds as well.
The Enoki mushrooms gave it the taste of Yoosanseul.
- We usually dip Yoosanseul in chili oil. - Yes, we do.
It kind of tastes like that and it tastes very Chinese.
I was surprised. You can't tell what his dishes are like until you taste it.
It's not time for you to decide.
Number one is Kim Poong.
Number two is Lee Yeon-bok.
You don't have to think about anything else.
Don't be distressed.
I'm very...
very sorry to one person.
- Okay. Did you press a button? - We really do feel bad.
Yes. Did you press a button?
- Yes. - She did.
I'm afraid the person, who wasn't chosen, will get their feelings very hurt.
- They made such great dishes. - Why are you doing this?
How can you differentiate the dishes? How can you judge, who was better?
- Excuse me! - One person even cut their hand cooking too.
It's impossible to choose unless you're very cold-hearted.
- I wonder who was chosen by her. - Yes.
Let's verify Kim Wan-sun's choice!
Show us!
Chef! Please make me Chinese-cuisine!
Will the master of Chinese-cuisine, Chef Lee Yeon-bok win...
or the master of fake cooking, Kim Poong, win?
He might break his title for longest losing streak.
Will he be able to break free from his losing streak?
Did Chef Lee Yeon-bok stop him from winning?
Who did she choose?
(Winner: Lee Yeon-bok)
Lee Yeon-bok!
She chose Chef Lee Yeon-bok!
Kim Wan-sun has given another consecutive loss to Kim Poong.
Is it okay if I go home? I feel so bad.
- I'm sorry. - Why did she keep eating it?
Yes, she kept eating it. She acted like she was going to pick Kim Poong.
- Yes, you're right. - No, all of the dishes tasted really good.
- Yes. - I felt like the one side had...
just a bit more Chinese-feel to it. Just by a hair.
(It's okay)
It's unfortunate, but Kim Poong has recorded his 6th consecutive loss.
It's been two months since his last win.
- He even cut his hands today. - He's crying now.
He's crying now.
Does this mean I have to start crying?
With his win, he's the second person to have wins in the two-digit range.
He's won his tenth cooking battle.
Please make me Chinese-cuisine.
Chef Lee Yeon-bok finally has his tenth win!
- Congratulations. - He's won a star from Kim Wan-sun.
Yes, congratulations.
This will be our second battle with ingredients from Kim Wan-sun's fridge.
Tonight... Tonight...
I miss vegetables.
Our show's two naturalist chefs.
They love vegetables.
- The first-place naturalist will be born today. - Of course.
When I take a look at our previous battle...
there's no need to seek any sympathy.
She's very cold-hearted.
- I never knew she was so cold-hearted. - I know.
She'll choose the more tastier dish, even if you're bleeding.
- She doesn't waver on any sympathy. - No, she doesn't.
- How is your finger? - Thank you for asking, it's fine.
- You got cut in two places? - I thought I saw him writing your name in blood.
Kim Wan-sun.
He needs those fingers to draw his cartoons, too.
Have you figured out Kim Wan-sun's taste, Sam Kim?
I'm not too sure yet.
She seems like a naturalist when I see her taste but...
she also seems to enjoy salty and spicy foods as well.
You've figured out her personality, haven't you?
Yes, I've figured out her personality.
- She's very cold. - Yes.
- She takes no prisoners. - Serious?
- Isn't there anything to throw here? - You see?
- You see? - Can I throw this? - Did you see that?
Our last battle is between naturalists.
I'm curious what kind of dishes you're making.
(Mihal's ingredients: oyster mushrooms, tomato, shitake mushrooms, black olives...
pepper kimchee, mozzarella cheese, perilla leaves, cucumber kimchee)
(Sam Kim's ingredients: oyster mushrooms, tomato, Enoki mushrooms...
black olives, coconut jam, Chinese yam, cucumber kimchee)
Chef Mihal!
The dish I would like to make...
- I heard her nickname was Dancing Queen. - Yes!
- "Vegetable Queen". - "Vegetable Queen!".
You're still the queen.
I heard she enjoyed eating tomato and fresh mozzarella cheese.
- Yes. - This time, I'll cook it instead of serving it raw.
I'm going to stuff tomatoes with stir-fried vegetables and kimchee and...
I'll simply finish it off in the oven.
- The dish I'll be preparing is... - Yes?
"Wrap My Vegetables Up".
- What was that? - One more time!
What kind of dish are you making?
The dish I'll be preparing is...
"Wrap My Vegetables Up".
"Wrap My Vegetables Up"
Wrapped vegetables.
I'll make a simple pasta and wrap it around...
vegetables, so she can eat it like a salad.
- I also know you like coconut jam. - Yes.
I'll make a salad using tomatoes, Chinese yams and coconut jam.
That sounds delicious.
- I'm looking forward to it. - Yes, she's looking forward to it.
Now, we'll being our vegetable cooking battle.
It's Chef Sam Kim, who wants to earn his third win with a savory vegetable dish...
versus Chef Mihal, who wants to earn the Dancing Queen's...
heart and soul with his elegant vegetable dish.
In the end, will a dish be created to satisfy Kim Wan-sun's wishes for vegetables?
We will now begin our second cooking battle!
It's a battle against the two naturalist chefs with vegetables.
The chef, who wins today, will be the best natural chef.
Of course, of course.
He has flour and eggs out.
- Is he making pasta? - He said he would.
He's making pasta?
- Are you making pasta, right now? - Yes.
Oh, my god.
(1. In a hand blender, mix flour and eggs to make pasta dough)
(I'll be waiting here)
(Chef Mihal starts by putting a spoonful of butter in a pan)
While Sam Kim is making pasta... - Mihal is starting to cook mushrooms in butter.
Mushroom. Kim Wan-sun likes mushrooms.
He has oyster and shitake mushrooms.
- I like all vegetables. - Yes, she likes all vegetables.
(Soy sauce)
(2. Cut the tops off tomatoes and hallow out the middle)
- He's taking out the seeds. - Why are you putting a hole in it?
I think he's going to fill the tomatoes.
He's not throwing away the insides.
- No, he's going to use it as well. - I see.
He's being very inventive. Brilliant.
(Chef Sam Kim begins getting his lemon sauce ready)
(2. Make lemon sauce with lemon juice, sugar and olive oil)
- Sam Kim is using tomatoes too! - Are you just slicing them? - Yes.
- Sam Kim is using tomatoes too! - You're only using the outside?
- Yes, I only need the outside. - You're throwing out the insides.
It's hard to put the insides in since it could get watery.
- It'll make the salad too watery. - The juices will come out.
(Olives, olives)
I think Sam Kim is also making some sort of pesto with his olive oil.
Coconut.
- Coconut? - Yes, that will be the dressing.
- Olives and coconut? - They go well together. - They do?
(Garlic, garlic)
(4. Add garlic and sugar to the olive oil and coconut jam)
(Olive-coconut sauce is finished)
Sam Kim is cutting circles from the Chinese yam. I think he'll use that in the salad.
(Use a circle mold to cut out round disks from the Chinese yam)
(5. Make salad by slicing tomatoes and adding it to the olive-coconut sauce)
That's just like Sam Kim's style.
That's Sam Kim's style?
(Sam Kim's style is refreshing and tangy)
(Chef Mihal also adds garlic to his dish)
(Serrano pepper kimchee)
(4. Mince Serrano pepper kimchee and stir-fry with other ingredients)
- He's using the juice! - Yes, it's the kimchee juice.
- Pepper kimchee juice. - That's got to be spicy.
- I know. - He put peppers in there as well.
He's adding rice.
Instant rice.
- Aren't those olives? - Yes, olives.
He's using everything that Kim Wan-sun likes.
(5. Make fried-rice by adding instant rice...
black olives and mozzarella cheese to the cooked vegetables)
- He's trying the fried-rice! Fried-rice! - Fantastic.
He's saying it's good. It must be good.
- It looks good. - It almost looks like kimchee fried-rice.
Yes, it does.
- You can easily follow Mihal's recipes. - It's very easy.
- He's almost finished. - Yes, it's finished.
- He's almost finished. - Wow. - He just needs to put it in the oven.
(8. Top off stuffed tomatoes with mozzarella cheese and place in oven)
He must be finished.
He's putting it in the oven!
- The oven is cooking for him. - He even put cheese on it.
That was very quick.
He finished with 9-minutes left.
- He finished in 5-minutes and the oven cooked it for him. - Yes.
All we need to do is wait.
I think my ears might be bleeding.
Were you trying to be funny?
Mihal is starting to clean.
He's getting ready to leave work.
Sam Kim is the only one busy here. The only one.
(Flour)
(He tries to roll out his dough that has been resting but...)
- It looks like your dough is sticky. - Yes.
- It's a bit watery. - Is it too wet? - Yes.
- It keeps on sticking. - That's like gum!
- He's rolling out gum! - It'll be fine if he adds more flour.
The dough is killing Sam Kim.
(There's blood coming from my ears)
What? It's true.
(Smacks her lips)
(The dough is easier to work with after adding more flour)
(6. Roll dough into thin large piece and begin to boil)
His pasta kind of looks like lasagna.
He made it look like lasagna and he's cooking it now.
This...
Yes?
I'm going to make kisses out of these.
Oh, kisses?
You mean, lips!
- He made the lips kiss. - He's plating his dishes.
Kisses!
- Whose lips are those? - What do you mean by those?
I don't know.
- That's when he doesn't know Korean. - He's being too obvious.
He made two lips instead of one.
(He adds cucumber kimchee to the plate as well)
(This time, he uses black olives)
Mihal is making black rabbits with olives.
He's paying attention to decorating his plate for fun.
(His decorations are finished when he adds diced cheese to the plate)
(Chef Sam Kim begins prepping vegetables he'll use to stuff the pasta)
He's seasoning the carrots as well.
(8 Add sesame oil and soy sauce to carrots and set aside to cool)
(9. In an oiled-pan, saute add oyster mushroom...
Enoki mushrooms, minced garlic, butter, salt, lemon juice and pepper)
I believe that's the pasta dough he boiled.
- He'll roll it with a bit of butter. - He's just cooking with the vegetables.
No, it's because I don't have time.
He cooked it together since he's running out of time.
- That has to be hot. - Be careful with your hands!
- Don't try to get any sympathy. - I know, I know.
She doesn't have any sympathy!
- Remember how I cut my hand. - It's your loss if you burn your hand.
Just put on gloves.
(10. Open the cooked pasta and begin filling with sauteed vegetables)
- He rolled it. - Yes, he finished rolling it.
It's nicely wrapped.
We have 5:45 on the clock. Will you go see, Ahn Jung-hwan?
This is his Chinese yam and tomato salad.
Chinese yam has great texture.
This looks delicious.
Could you taste the sauce? I'd like to know how that tastes.
A bit of the sauce.
Let's verify how the sauce tastes.
How does it taste?
Is it very natural?
- It's bit on the greasy side. - The greasy side?
- It's just greasy. - No way.
Doesn't it taste greasy?
- It's because you ate it this way. - I see. - Try some of this.
(How will the lemon-oil sauce taste?)
Is it refreshing? How is it?
This tastes just like this one.
- Try it! - He says it's greasy.
(Tastes it)
Try it again.
- I don't have much time. - He doesn't have much time. - You're not helping!
- What is it? - This is nice and tangy.
- It's good. - Why did it change?
I took a bit from the top and that was just oil.
- I can taste the tanginess after I mixed it together. - Really?
Do you have any fried-rice, Mihal?
- Yes, I do. - Try some of Mihal's fried-rice.
How does it taste, Mario?
How does the fried-rice taste?
- The fried-rice! - This is delicious.
Mario!
- What? - It's still spicy.
- It's very spicy. - I only put in 1 pepper.
I think Kim Wan-sun will enjoy this if it's this spicy.
I can't eat spicy food very well. Each side is totally different.
This side is spicy and this side is more natural because it's a bit tangy.
(It's now time to open the oven)
(9. Torch cheese after taking the tomatoes out of the oven)
- He took it out. What are you doing? - He's torching the cheese.
- Yes, we'll taste the char-broil on it!
(Chef Sam Kim begins to finish his dish as well)
(11. Top the salad and vegetables with the olive-coconut dressing...
first. Next finish off with lemon-oil dressing, lemon juice and pepper)
- Looks like Sam Kim is finished. - Yes, Sam Kim is finished!
Sam Kim finished before Mihal.
- First... - 20-seconds, Mihal!
He has about 20-seconds left.
- Mihal is trying to grill the cheese. - That looks good.
He's finally putting it on the plate.
- It's visually pleasing. - You have 10-seconds left.
Nine, eight!
Seven, six!
Five!
Four!
Three!
Two!
- One! - We're all finished. We're all done.
It's very pretty, Mihal.
It's very pretty.
(Al dente pasta with crispy Chinese yams and tomato salad)
(Chef Sam Kim's "Wrap My Vegetables Up")
Wrap my vegetables up!
She's trying Sam Kim's dish first.
Her shoulders are moving up and down.
I'm afraid the vegetables will all fall out.
You can eat it with Chinese yams, tomato and the portion you just sliced.
She's trying it.
- She eats well. - Yes, she does.
(Nervous)
It kind of looks like there is a bit too much oil on the dish.
- Isn't it greasy? - Not at all.
It tastes very clean.
- It tastes clean? - Yes, and I especially like Chinese yams.
The Chinese yams are crispy and it goes well with the pasta.
The two go very well together.
The pasta was a bit moist, is it okay now?
Yes.
- Isn't pasta more tender if the dough is a bit watery? - Yes.
- She's eating it very well. - Yes.
(The pasta is Al dente and is performing a show on its own)
- You ate all the oil. - How do you like it?
- She has her thumb up. - Is it the best?
(I know what this tastes like)
- I can taste the devil's jam. - You taste the devil's jam?
- Coconut? - Didn't he put in a little? - Yes.
- It's almost aromatic. - You can subtly taste it.
It comes out subtly.
- It's not apparent? - No, it just comes at you very subtly.
- Like natural aromas? - Yes.
It just feels like it's up in the air.
(Oven-grilled tomatoes stuffed with vegetable fried-rice)
(Chef Mihal's "Vegetable Queen")
She's cutting it carefully.
You can take off some of the tomato peel with your knife as well.
"Vegetable Queen".
The Dancing Queen is eating the "Vegetable Queen".
- I'm the Vegetable Queen. - "Vegetable Queen".
(Chewing)
Her expression doesn't look good.
- Yum. - The tomatoes? - Does it come late?
Does the flavors come slowly?
- How does it taste? - Like roasted vegetables.
- I see. - It also has rice and flavors of the spicy peppers and vegetables.
All the flavors seem to come together after you chew it for a while.
- Does the tomato go well with the fried-rice? - Yes.
- I like it. - Really? - Yes.
Is it a bit spicy? Is it on the spicy side?
- It should be spicy. - He put peppers in it.
He put the kimchee juice in as well.
I can't say it's spicy...
but it tastes like there's a variety of spices.
I think it's just the right amount.
I don't think any of the flavors are too over-whelming.
I really believe vegetarian dishes are great simple dishes...
since everything comes together very well.
- Let's try it for ourselves. - Yes!
Let's try Sam Kim's dish first. "Wrap My Vegetables Up".
- "Wrap My Vegetables Up". - Wrap it up!
I'm curious how this Chinese yam will taste separately.
- It's good. - Wow, this is good. - It's very refreshing.
The sauce is delicious.
I understand why he made the pasta and wrapped everything inside it.
- The texture is great too. - Isn't it?
I think the different textures played a big role in this dish.
The pasta was Al dente but we also had crispness from the Chinese yams.
It also had the tomato's unique flavors as well.
I felt very comfortable after eating this.
I feel like an Italian monk might have made this dish...
if you took out the garlic and eggs from the pasta.
- I think it's great that the dish makes you feel serene. - Yes, very true.
Let's try Mihal's "Vegetable Queen" now. "Vegetable Queen".
You should eat it in one bite, right?
I can taste the spices in the back.
The whole dish is very moist.
This is as if a Bulgarian monk made this dish.
You're right.
When I taste both of the dishes...
it feels like it would be a remedy for impatient people.
The dishes makes the eater feel very serene.
The dish is like a remedy.
- That's the power of natural ingredients. - Yes.
I'm very calm.
If you were to compare the dishes to music, they would both be ballad songs.
They're both like that, but Mihal's dish has a climax at the end.
The spiciness gives the dish a climax.
- There's a climax. - Yes, there's a big climax at the end.
Yes, it's very comfortable but...
if you were compare the dishes to Byeon Jin-seop's songs...
Sam Kim's dish is sort of like "Wish List".
Mihal's dish is more like "Back to You, Again".
It starts off slowly, but there's a big climax and it comes back to being serene.
I think it's been a long time since we saw dishes...
that yelled out, "I'm Mihal" and "I'm Sam Kim" from each dish.
It was the standard of natural ingredient dishes.
When you ate the dishes, the flavor was subtle and very comforting.
The dishes really made you feel good.
It's now time for you to decide.
There's nowhere to hide. No mouse hole for you to run and hide.
Do you think it'll be okay for me to go home?
Why would you go home?
You need to decide before you go. How can you just leave after eating?
- You can't leave. - I didn't see you as that kind of person.
Eat and leave?
- Are you leaving after eating? - You need to decide before going.
- I'd rather just leave. - You can't do that.
- You can't leave. - You can't leave since our audience also votes as well.
You must make a decision before you leave.
- Yes. - Any which way, the loser today...
will never be allowed to say they're a naturalist.
(Total burden)
- Don't burden her. - But still!
Both of them say they're naturalists.
- This is a problem. - One person needs to give up their title.
Someone will become artificial.
- A chef that prefers artificial ingredients. - Artificial person.
Yes, that's true.
Please carefully make your decision.
Number one is Mihal.
Number two is Sam Kim.
A great battle between naturalist chefs.
Please decide and press a button!
Wait a second!
- You scared me. - Wait a second.
- She hasn't decided yet. - You haven't? - I can't.
What are you going to do?
This is driving me crazy!
I think she'll choose a winner tomorrow morning.
Tonight... Tonight...
I'm afraid of the button.
This is going to give her nightmares.
(Screaming)
Did you press the button? Did you? She pressed a button.
I wonder who, Kim Wan-sun finally chose.
Let's reveal her decision!
Show us!
A battle between Sam Kim and Mihal!
A battle between two naturalist chefs!
If Sam Kim wins, it's 3 in a row!
If Mihal wins, he'll have the same number of wins as Sam Kim.
What was Kim Wan-sun's decision?
Show us!
What was Kim Wan-sun's decision?
I miss the result!
Sam Kim wins!
Sam Kim!
Mihal couldn't persuade her decision.
I'm sorry, Mihal!
Mihal said his dish was fantastic, too!
None of that mattered.
- He even said age didn't matter. - She's cold-hearted.
- She really is cold. - Yes, she voted for Sam Kim.
I really couldn't decide until the very end. It was very hard.
I thought about it and these dishes are very similar, but polar opposites.
One dish was full of crispy textures from all the different vegetables.
While the other dish had many components that went very well together.
That's why I think, I might have figured out that I prefer vegetable dishes...
that are full of different textures and each ingredient is separate.
Sam gets his third consecutive win and eight wins in total.
Sam Kim is putting his gears on since we're headed into Fall.
- He has endurance. - Yes, he's talented. - He has endurance.
What kind of dish did you make, Sam Kim?
The dish I made today was, "Wrap My Vegetables Up".
- Congratulations, Sam Kim! - Congratulations!
He has eight wins in the record books.
- He's in third place by himself! - Yes, he's in third by all by himself.
Flower street brothers, Jung Sang-hoon and Kim Saeng-min!
- When did you two first meet? - When Sung-hoon was a freshman in college.
Saeng-min gave talks on comedy back then.
(A mentor that used to put importance on theory?)
I didn't know if it was a class on Japanese.
- Let him tell it. - What did you learn?
(A Japanese language gag he learned back then)
(Totally proud)
(He even shows off his polished Chinese gags as well)
(Let's stop while we're ahead now)
We'll reveal Jung Sang-hoon's refrigerator.
He's very good at cooking.
I'd like to learn cooking from them.
- Did you make these? - Yes.
- You made this too? - Yes.
He makes his own homemade sauces.
- Did you make this too? - Yes, I made it for my kids but I'm eating it.
- It's his great heart of a parent. - Great heart of a parent!
- Big framework stupid. - Big framework stupid!
Which chef will be acknowledged as his mentor?
Wow, that looks delicious.
The dish looks very fresh.
Jung Sang-hoon is licking his plate clean.
(How... did he make this dish?)
(Every Monday night at 9:30)
- This isn't a taste I can replicate. - Is that right?
