A project to make the better use of those bothersome leftover foods in your fridge.
Best chefs of Korea are here to invade your fridge.
The premium cooking show, Take good care of the fridge!
Welcome everyone.
Let's welcome the eight chefs,
who are as popular as Kpop stars among chef practitioners.
Welcome, guys.
Check out those two bright stars.
On the chest of Chef Choi Hyun-seok and Chef Lee Yeon-bok
are the medals that commemorate their twentieth victories.
[I'm so jealous.]
I don't really know what it is, but I told everyone it's made of 18K gold.
-Chef Choi, did you tell your wife about it? -No I did not.
-She doesn't know anything about it? -I can't leak spoilers of this show.
I consider that as an act of betrayal to JTBC.
[His loyalty to JTBC is even stronger than his affection for his wife.]
He got burned once in the beginning because of the post he put on the social media.
-He learned his lesson. -He was summoned, huh? -That's right.
He was called and got a warning from the producer.
[He's teasing Hyun-seok, reminding him of his mistake.]
What did you do to your hair?
I dyed it.
-Did you? -Yup.
Doesn't it look similar to Mihal's hair color?
-Oh, it does. -The color's similar but...
You look like those actors who pretend to be a foreigner in that TV Show, "Surprise."
-Doesn't he? -He absolutely does.
If you have seen the show, there are those actors with wigs.
Chef Jung, did you practice any new dance moves for us?
No, I just do my best at any given situation.
-Speaking of dancing, we can't forget about Chef Ahn. -Give him a big hand, everyone.
[Show us your moves.]
[He's got some moves.]
I will show you all my moves when we do the end of the year special.
[He makes the other chefs nervous.]
Now, I will reveal to you the guests of today's show.
We have invited two charismatic actors.
[Today's fridge.]
[Take all the ingredients inside the fridge.]
[And go straight to the studio.]
[And there's another fridge.]
[Everything in here too is going to the studio.]
[Let's meet the owners of the fridges now.]
Here comes the owners of today's fridges.
Welcome, guys.
[Even the master's enthusiastic about today's guests.]
[The owners of today's fridges are here!]
Nice to see you guys.
[Lee Sung-jae, Yum Jung-ah.]
He made a debut in 1995 by passing the 24th annual national audition.
Let me tell you few things that happened in 1995.
The biggest hit TV show of that year is Sandglass.
That year, Korea's first Satellite, Mugunhwa was successfully launched.
Put it simply, Mr. Lee Sung-jae is quite old.
Give it up for Mr. Lee Sung-jae, the charismatic actor who never ceases to amaze us.
[Welcome.]
Hello, everyone. It's good to meet you guys.
And, and, and.
Wow, she's been around for long too.
She won at the 1991 Miss Korea.
She's a representative of Korean beauty and a fearless actress,
-Ms. Yum Jeong-ah, everyone. -Welcome.
Hi, everyone. It's nice to meet you. I am a big fan of Take Good Care of the Fridge.
She's beautiful.
Ms. Jeong-ah won Miss Korea in 1991,
and Ms. Lee Hye-won, Jung-hwan's wife, won at 1999 Miss Korea.
Darn, it's been so long.
-Do you find it a little awkward to work with your wife's senior colleague? -Yes.
I need to treat her well so that she will be nice to my wife.
I can understand that.
Are there any particular reasons you two decided to come out on our show together?
We are doing the show called "Mirror of the Witch" together.
Oh, Mirror of the Witch.
We are here to promote the show.
-That's why we are here. -Sure.
So, are you the witch in this show, Ms. Jung-ah?
I am the shaman in the show.
Shouldn't it be "Mirror of the Shaman" then?
Another actress is playing the witch. Ms. Kim Sae-rom comes out as a young princess.
I heard that Ms. Lee Sung-jae worried a lot before coming out of the show.
He didn't think he was the right cast for this show.
My fridge isn't really a good fit for this show.
-I was worried that if the chefs would be able to make something.
We will reveal his fridge now.
You didn't pick up this fridge from the street?
[We are gonna be in trouble today!]
I am not sure if you guys would be able to cook.
We can cook with air and water only.
I think I heard that from somewhere.
He's quite eccentric, isn't he?
[Chef Kim Pung's imitating Chef Choi's affectation.]
Mr. Lee Sung-jae has this philosophy.
He talked about this during a meeting with producers.
He thinks that a variety show must have realism.
What I hate the most is that
if you read the script before, you already know everything but have to fake
as if you heard the question for the first time.
I really hate that.
-I don't read the script either. -That's what I am talking about.
I start reading it only after I sit here.
-Then we will give you some random questions. -That's fine by me.
I heard that your nickname among close friends is the "porn Sung-jae."
This is how we will proceed with the show.
About ten years ago, I went out in this TV show,
and narrated the titles of all the erotic movies made in Korea.
-That's 10 years ago. -Yeah, it's a long time ago.
Experts can get to the scene by fastforwarding the movie with their eyes closed.
Nah, He's an amateur.
These days, we just click on the cursor to make all the scenes appear...
I did that fastforwarding trick though. It was in the old days.
- I guess you still enjoy watching them? -No, I didn't mean that.
Everyone has done this. Once, I stored all the videos in my USB,
I think USBs were not commonly used until after you got married.
You wanna get your ass kicked?
I was talking about those cooking videos. You know when it...
-There's this scene with salt in that cooking video... -We should check his USB.
I bet those artistic erotic movies can inspire your cooking as well.
Those white plates can be compared to white bed sheet...
That's right.
Wow, I knew it. I could sense your artistic sensibility the moment you came out.
You are too kind.
Too kind?...
-So that's where you get your inspiration. -That's the source.
[They are united by their unique artistic sensibility.]
Sung-jae's been living alone in Korea for 6 years while his wife and kids are abroad.
How is it? Living alone while your family is abroad?
- I enjoy my life to the full extent. -Right.
I'm serious.
My wife and kids are doing wonderful in Canada.
They are doing even better in Canada, and everything’s been going well.
I think my family is a success case of this kind of family living arrangement.
Right.
But don't you get lonely sometimes?
Not really.
And we have a high technology of video call.
I talked to them on the phone all the time.
Wait a sec, we're gonna have a pop quiz now.
Mr. Lee Sung-jae, who lives in Hannam-dong by himself,
claims that he never uses these three items at home.
Number one, a microwave.
two, a washing machine.
Three, a sink.
Four, an Iron Man Mask.
Five, a book.
Six, a gas stove.
What's the item that Mr. Lee Sung-jae never uses at home.
-A washing machine. -Correct.
-There's more. -A gas stove?
Yes, that's also correct.
An Iron Man Mask?
You gotta wear that sometimes.
The Iron Man mask is not the right answer. He wears it.
I put on Darth Vader mask all the time.
The answer is a sink.
So the answers are a washing machine, a sink, and a gas stove.
-So you wear the Iron Man mask...? -Because I have it. I put it on sometimes.
I think he's a really pure guy.
Adults who wear masks like that are usually very unpretentious and innocent.
-Do you guys know each other? -No, they met for the first time here.
They became friends while talking about erotic movies. And he calls him innocent.
Ever since I started to live alone, I sorta live as if I were on a business trip.
Oh, so your daily life is like when you are on a business trip.
Yes, like when I go to another country or city to shoot a movie.
I almost always eat out.
Almost always?
I sometimes pick up foods from a convenient store.
-Do you even own a gas stove? -I only use it to roast some dry squid.
-Really? -You know what I am talking about.
That's the only time you turn it on.
I don't think he's really into food.
You're not gluttonous, are you?
You have a chef friend, we hear.
Ah, Aymon.
-Who's Aymon? -Mr. Raymon Kim.
Oh, Raymon Kim. He calls him Aymon.
I've been to his restaurant. I didn't really go crazy for any of his dishes though.
And I tried them all. I tried everything on the menu.
I wanted to say this since I met Chef Lee Yeon-bok today-
I tried one of his ramens about a week ago,
-Wow, it was so tasty. -Oh you liked that? You liked it better?
I didn't know I'd meet him today.
It's a high compliment.
He's like a guy with zero appetite.
Chef Raymon Kim's defeated when he's not even here.
Raymon talked a lot about Chef Lee Yeon-bok.
He said Chef Lee is the best chef he knows. Especially in Chinese cuisine.
We heard that you often give a kiss on the cheek to your male colleagues.
-It's to express my affection. -I still hug and kiss my kids a lot.
He's like Eastern Europeans. We greet each other with kissing even between men.
You have to do it.
You'd be considered impolite if you didn't.
If you find any of the chef's dish particularly good today,
are you willing to express that in a gesture of affection?
I will kiss him on his forehead.
Nice. We'll be looking forward to it.
I guess we can tell how much he likes the food by where he gives his kiss.
It's time for us to look inside the fridge of Mr. Lee Sung-jae.
-That tall one's yours, correct? -It's actually a built-in fridge.
-Ah, so they couldn't get it detached.
[They just took all the stuff inside his "built-in" fridge.]
Now we will reveal the fridge of Lee Sung-jae who lives alone.
[What'd be inside the fridge of the guy with zero appetite.]
Now we will reveal the fridge of Lee Sung-jae who lives alone.
(Empty)
We should be able to see some side dishes.
- (An emergency, we can't find any ingredients) - This is pretty bad.
(Oh my gosh!)
It says "Chef Zone" here.
(Full of cold air)
It's going to be hard to make a main course.
- The shelves on the side look like a pharmacy. - Right.
- I can see some vitamins. - Right.
Since he lives alone.
This is...
That's a suppository...
- A while ago... - This is a suppository!
I had a pimple so I got some medicine.
I don't know what that's-
(Ha ha ha ha)
That's a first.
You've already used some?
I got healed after taking some.
- I see. - It wasn't hemorrhoids or anything like that.
How do you get a pimple there?
It was just a pimple that happened to be there. Why do you keep-
- What? - Let's just let it go.
No let's keep going. We need to keep going at it.
- You don't let go once you bite, huh? - Are there supposed to be 10 here?
(Ugh)
(This is what keeping it real means)
It must've been a big pimple.
They gave me a bunch but I only used 3. And I got healed after that.
What's this cream for? This one is a cream.
You're supposed to put that on before the suppository-
(Oh...)
You're supposed to put this on after the pills.
You're supposed to put it on first. So it goes in easier.
- It slides in. - Right.
(Stop imagining it)
- You're all better now, right? - Of course.
- All of it? - Yes.
(Laughing)
- Are these jellies? - Sunflower seeds?
Oh, these are sunflower seeds!
- There are some with the shells. - Right.
You know the ones that the major league players spit out?
Right! The baseball players!
It feels good.
- It feels good? - When you spit it out. And it's also tastes good.
You're like an Eastern European. We can't watch soccer without sunflower seeds.
Oh, the Eastern Europeans too? - We love them.-
I see.
I guess you like to snack on things.
- There's chocolate. - It was a gift.
Okay. And this.
These breads.
I tried one and the banana flavor was really good, so...
- Banana flavor? - Yes.
So I ordered 2 boxes of it online.
- You happened to try it. - Yes.
- He's really into his snacks. - He is.
And why are the Hardtacks in here?
- That's for the army. - In the fridge.
I ordered them online.
You bought it online.
In the crisper drawer,
there's a fresh apple cookie.
I happened to try it at a convenience store,
- and it was really good. - Oh, this one?
So I bought two boxes including the strawberry flavor.
He has an appetite of a kid.
- So you do savor the taste. - Of course.
- Of course I do. - It's different from what you said before.
He said everything tastes good when he's hungry.
But he still can tell the difference. And he likes cookies.
He eats these and gets pimples on his butt.
(Laughing) - He's not that different from us.
- Of course. - He's not that different.
Wait, this is a dressing.
I use it when I order in food.
Oh, I see. That's what it's for.
There's another one here. - It's similar. I like sesame seed flavors.
This one is chili sauce.
Unfortunately, he only has three types of sauces.
The chefs are going to have to make a good use out of them.
There are just three apples.
And these are...
They must be chestnuts.
- What's this? - Pickled Myungee herbs.
- I like Myungee herbs. - We got one.
This is precious.
I think it's 6 months old.
It's been 6 months?
- You eat this when you order food in? - Right.
He didn't use it to cook something.
- He uses it as a side dish when he orders in. - Right.
Let's go down to the freezer.
From here on down, it's the freezer.
(It's full of instant fried rice...)
Were you, by any chance, a model for this brand?
- No. - You didn't, right?
There's shrimp fried rice, Chinese fried rice...
Those are good when I'm in a hurry.
- Are they? - They're light.
Chicken breasts for when you're watching your figure.
I think the chefs will be done in 5 minutes.
Three minutes to cook, and two minutes for plating.
You're right. This is very worrisome.
Lee Sung-jae's fridge is just full of cookies and processed foods.
Kim Pung might be at an advantage here. Right?
There are so many things I can make. I can't choose.
Really? With those?
Of course.
We took a look at Lee Sung-jae's fridge.
The situation seems critical.
He usually buys food at the convenience store and eats it then and there.
Or heats it up later.
So we talked to his close friend,
and gathered some foods that he eats frequently.
- We bought them? - We did.
The owner of the convenience store changed recently.
Your close friend was your manager.
(Oh.) - Please confirm them for us.
These are the foods Lee Sung-jae likes to have from the convenience store.
(Foods that Lee Sung-jae likes to have in real life)
They're close to what you like to have, right?
- We'll make these available to the chefs. - Okay.
Good.
It's been a while since we saw a fridge from hell.
It's about time that the chefs get a little nervous.
Lee Sung-jae's desired menu is...
None.
(What?)
(Ha ha...)
Are we skipping him?
When we asked him for his desired menu, he said he has none.
- He doesn't have one. - I'll enjoy whatever you guys make.
Right. In order to cope with this emergency,
we received urgent help from those who know him well.
Let me introduce the desired menu that will save Lee Sung-jae's appetite!
Foods that don't require a stove.
And foods that will revive his appetite.
Your close friends all agreed on these menu.
Foods that don't require a stove.
- Because he's too lazy to touch the stove or the sink, - Right.
the menu is to help him cook something with a microwave or other tools.
- Since I have to able to make it? - Yes.
It could be eaten raw. The chefs are going to have a hard time.
Right.
The second one is foods that will revive his appetite.
Since he has low stamina and appetite,
they wanted to show him the amount of happiness delicious food can bring.
I'll announce the list of chefs who will overcome this crisis.
The first chef is Lee Yeon-bok.
(First chef for Lee Sung-jae's fridge: Lee Yeon-bok)
And Kim Pung who has won 14 matches.
(Second chef for Lee Sung-jae's fridge: Author Kim Pung)
Winner of 8 matches, Oh Sae-deuk.
And the last chef, winner of 7 matches, Lee Chan-ho.
- They'll make it possible. - Right.
- It will be enough. - You're right.
First, Chef Lee.
Food that will quickly revive his appetite.
Is it that hard to not use the stove?
I'm also curious to see what they'll make for that menu.
Right.
If you're a real chef, shouldn't you choose the road not taken?
(Laughs)
I'll go with foods that don't require a stove.
- You won't use fire. - Right.
Kim Pung is taking the path untaken!
I'll show you a miracle.
He's going to show us a miracle.
I need to follow after Bok. (Challenging Lee Yeon-bok again)
- It will be another big match. - Big match?
If Bok goes, Deuk must follow. Is that it?
You don't care at all about the person after you.
Because I need to survive too.
Then the 4th chef, Lee Chan-ho, automatically ends in the no-stove criteria.
You can't use fire. Will you be okay?
I'm not sure since the opponent is Kim Pung. I think he'll be a strong opponent.
The line ups have been set.
This time, Ahn Jung-hwan and I filmed a video from abroad for the viewers' event.
- Sawadikap - Sawadikap.
- We're here at Khaosan Road in Bangkok, Thailand. - Khaosan Road.
- Many people are receiving massages here. - Right.
- Shall we meet one of them? - Shall we?
He looks familiar.
Where are you from?
- Korea. - Oh, Korea?
- He looks a lot like this chef I know. - You're right.
Let me explain #3388 from here in Thailand.
(Trying to sound Thai)
The viewers can text during the broadcast.
If you text the name or number of the chef you think is going to win to #3388,
we'll draw one from those who got it right and send a gift-
Via express shipping.
Right. Why don't we shout out the number together?
One, two, three!
- #3388! (#3388 to pick the winning chef and receive a gift!)
Thank you.
First, we'll use the ingredients from Lee Sung-jae's fridge
- to make foods that don't require a stove. - Right.
First of all, the stove in front of you guys are taped off by a police line.
You're banned from approaching it.
The moment you turn it on, you'll be disqualified.
You got that? Alright.
If you think about it as a soccer game,
it's like being handed a tennis ball instead of a soccer ball.
Trying to play soccer with a tennis ball? What a good comparison.
A match between Lee Chan-ho and Kim Pung.
Oh, there have been 3 so far.
Kim Pung has been beating him by 2 wins and 1 loss.
- You looks very confident. - Of course.
- Since we can't use the stove... - Right.
No matter how good a professional Go player is at playing Go,
I might be able to beat him in a game of tic-tac-toe. Right?
You're right.
So I'm feeling a bit confident since we can't use the stove today.
But Lee Chan-ho has won twice in a row.
At this rate, I think he'll be able to beat Kim Pung as well.
(Choosing the ingredients) - What are you going to make?
(Pung picked the apple first) - Apple? Just one? - Just one.
(Sharing the ingredients since there aren't many)
- Hardtacks? You too?
I'm using them too.
You guys are taking similar ingredients.
- Apples and hardtacks. - They're the same.
There isn't much we can take.
(Kim Pung picked apple, butter cookie, chestnuts, and hardtacks)
(Lee Chan-ho picked apple, pig feet, potato salad, string cheese, sunflower seeds,)
(garlic dipping sauce, sweet chili sauce, spicy potato chips, hardtacks)
What do you think, Chef Lee?
The ingredients and the opponent don't call for a traditional menu.
- Right. - It's not going to be easy.
-It won't be easy. -I'm...
I'm gonna try doing what I learned from watching Pung.
Instinctively Pig Feet
-What you learned? -Yes.
You should do what you learned in Paris.
-I have some data collected so far. -Okay.
So the name of my dish is
-Instinctively Pig Feet. -Instinctively Pig Feet!
-Yes. -Is there gonna be pig feet in it?
There's potato salad-
And I'm gonna put some chopped pig feet in it.
And to give it crispy texture,
I'm going to add some crushed cookie in there.
And then I'm going to make a salad with apples and cheese,
and a sauce with chili sauce and dipping sauce.
I won't use the microwave.
-Wow. -Oh, yeah.
So there's nothing hot in it.
Nothing at all.
-The name of my dish is... -Yes.
Apple-ly Cake.
Apple-ly Cake. Is it a dessert?
It's like a dessert. It is, but actually-
Since I don't have baking powder,
if I beat meringue enough, I can raise it as much as possible.
And if I add some crushed crackers in it,
and microwave it, you get the texture of a cake in a short amount of time.
-Oh. -That's how I'm going to make the cake.
From what I see in your fridge, I can see what you like.
It's gonna be something more delicious than apple cookies.
If you grate apple and heat it with flour and sugar, you can make apple compote.
-Okay. -And I can make it quickly with a microwave.
-All right. -An apple cupcake.
It's quite advanced.
He was talking about compote and meringue and things.
You can beat a professional Go player in a game of tic-tac-toe, but
just because you won a few tic-tac-toe games, doesn't mean you can beat him in Go.
-There's no chance. -Right.
You could humiliate yourself if you take it too far.
Let the battle begin.
Kim Pung, the expert of instant food who's stronger when there's fewer ingredients.
Lee Chan-oh, who's been on a winning streak recently.
Obviously, Kim Pung is at an advantage, but
we cannot ignore the power of a professional chef.
Now, let the no-stove cooking battle begin!
They are not allowed to use fire.
They cannot go near the stove today.
They're not allowed to go near the stove.
(Pung washes the apple)
-You know, old habits die hard. -Right.
-He's trying to play Go. -Oh.
He didn't have to wash the apple, but he did.
-Oh, he did? -Yes.
It's the habit of a chef.
Oh. Wow.
(1. Peel the apple and cut it into pieces)
(2. Blend apple, sugar, flour, water in a blender)
Apple, sugar, a little bit of flour, and I'm going to blend it.
-You're going to blend it? -Yes.
-And water too? -A little bit of water.
A little bit of water.
Sung-jae could easily make this too.
-It's a very simple recipe. -Oh, of course.
You know how there's not enough jam in the apple cookies?
This is how you can make jam quickly.
That's how you make jam?
I don't think it's going to blend well.
(Sh...shake)
It's not blending well. Is everything okay back there?
-Is it working? -Yes, it's working.
-Oh, yeah, it's working. -It is working.
All right.
Now he's taking the blended apple out of the blender.
-It should be sweet since there's sugar in it. -It is sweet.
-You're putting it in the microwave? -Yes.
-Why? -I'm going to boil it down now.
-Boiling it down. -You're making jam?
Rather than jam, it's more like compote.
And because I had to do it quickly, I added flour for thickness.
He's really nice in the beginning and he explains everything.
This is phase 1. Kim Pung phase 1.
-Right. -He's acting like a professional chef.
And later on he gets anxious, and he starts yelling.
And he gets frantic and throws things.
(Chef Lee prepares the apple first)
Both of them are working with apples from the beginning.
It looks like apples are their main ingredient.
(2. Put pulled string cheese and apples in a bowl.)
(Sunflower seeds to add a nutty flavor)
Chef Lee is adding lemon juice to the apples.
-Wow. -Lemon juice.
(3. Mix sunflower seeds, lemon zest, lemon juice, pepper, salt, and olive oil)
About 5 minutes have passed.
He breaks an egg. What's the reason you're separating the yolk from the white?
-I need to make meringue. -Oh, to make the meringue.
(4. Put the white and sugar in a bowl and make meringue)
-Have you started? -Yes.
Making meringue is not easy.
He used to have a very hard time doing it.
-I failed the first time. -Yes. -I remember.
-That's a fail. -A fail!
(He tosses it as soon as he hears "fail")
Mr. Kim knows when to give up fast.
He cares so much about other people's opinions.
When was that?
It's all a good memory now.
-It is. -That was a long time ago.
-I thought I was having a heart attack. -I know.
Kim Pung Phase 1 seems longer than usual today.
Yes, he's relaxed. Oh, there he goes!
He has the skills now.
Forget the past!
I am Chef Kim Pung!
How will the meringue turn out?
(Meringue making going well)
(But soon he starts to change)
-Is it done? -No. -It's not done.
-I want to use my energy wisely... -Oh?
-Aren't you supposed to keep going? -No, it can wait a little.
-Are you sure? -Of course.
-Okay. -Nobody takes a break in the middle of beating meringue.
-Nobody takes a break in the middle. -Right.
In the bowl... the amount...
-The amount becomes... -Oh he's back.
As soon as Chef Choi says something, he's back on it.
-It's flat now. -The other chefs are worried.
Ow, it's hot.
(Hahaha)
-It's coming. -He said "Ow, it's hot." The facade of a chef is almost gone now.
It has to be hard.
It has to be hard? He's been working on the meringue for 3 minutes now.
-Is it good? -It's good.
-It's good. -Oh, he's good.
(Wow)
It is perfect.
Now he picked up crackers.
The crackers...
(Puts them in a zip lock bag)
(5. Put the crackers in a zip lock bag and crush them)
(A loud performance that might result in vandalism)
It's a kind of performance.
It's just loud.
(Chef Lee also puts chips and crackers in a zip lock bag)
(4. Put potato chips and crackers in a zip lock bag and crush them)
Chef Lee is doing what Kim Pung did with the-
He's using a tool, and Kim Pung used his hands.
-What happened? -So...
-Using a tool like that makes it look graceful. -Right.
It's different from this.
-That's professionalism. -Of course.
This- This is a butter cookie.
If you have this, you don't need to add butter.
You're using butter cookies instead of butter?
There's butter in them. So...
So you don't need to add butter.
(6. Add butter cookies to the crushed crackers and crush them)
(7. Blend the crushed cookies in a blender)
Now you mix this with the meringue.
-The crumbs? -Yes.
-Mix it with the meringue? -That's right.
(9. Put dough in a cup and microwave it to make bread)
Sung-jae isn't even looking in Kim Pung's direction.
He's only looking at Chef Lee.
(5. Spread the crumbs on a plate)
(6. Put potato salad in a bowl)
(The main ingredient, pig feet from a convenience store!)
-Chef Lee is chopping pig feet! -He's chopping pig feet.
Are you sure you don't want to heat it up?
Yes, this is fine.
Because pig feet smells when you microwave it.
Oh. I guess that's true.
(8. Coat little balls of the salad with crushed crackers and sprinkle sunflower seeds)
(Making the sauce to go with it)
(10. Mix garlic dip, sweet chilli sauce, pepper, and salt to make sauce)
-Five minutes left. -Okay.
-You have to go out there. -Oh, five minutes left?
There's really not much to see.
Instinctively Pig Feet and Apple-ly Cake. Wow.
Since they're not using fire, it's very clean and quiet.
Oh, it really does look like a croquette.
-You added pig feet to the potato salad? -Yes.
Should I try some? Pig feet and potato salad...
(Well...?)
How is it?
It's just what you get in convenience stores.
The salad. The salad.
Oh, no. I'm disappointed. Wait, the salad?
-Are you going to put them together? -Yes.
-How's the salad? -It's just sour.
-It's just sour. -It's sour?
Oh, no. Let me see what Kim Pung made.
The apple blended with sugar.
- It's kinda warm. - (Curious)
This one's actually good.
(No Way)
(Wait, really?)
(Can't believe it. Has to check himself)
(He tastes one spoonful.)
(Can't deny it.)
- It's true. - That one's much better.
He could be the chef.
(French chef is losing to the fake(?) chef)
Wow, this person...
This is simple.
When he lacks ingredients, that's when he really stands out.
On the other hand, this chef looks quite lost.
Really? Really?
Of course really, you think I'm lying?
But everyone is expecting more from you, French Chef.
(Making Different Version of Compote with Chestnut)
(10. Put chestnuts, sugar, milk and flour in the mixer and grind them)
(Check the bread cooked in the microwave)
Only two minutes left!
Only two minutes!
(The bread made with no baking powder - how will it taste?)
Is it like bread?
It's bread!
Yes, it's bread!
- It's really bread! Really! Really! - That's awesome.
How is this even possible?
This is nothing!
(So Awesome)
(Good Feeling About Apple-ly Cake)
Every bite is just amazing.
(10. Put chestnuts, sugar, milk, and flour into a mixer and grind them)
(11. Put them in a cup, cook it in a microwave)
(Chef Oh started his plating.)
(11. Put the apple cheese Salad on the plate and then the pig feet potato croquette)
Oh, the shape! Chef Oh stepping up!
Something's probably special about the sauce.
(12. Put the sauce separately.)
(13. Complete it with the cooked apple on the bread)
40 seconds is up? Is it done?
- Yes. - It's done?
Oh, it's done!
It's done.
(Appe-ly Cake is complete!)
(Super simple bread is complete)
Chestnut - I'll do it if it's possible.
Alright.
Wait, you're not done yet.
I'm done. But this compote is just an extra.
- So he just needs to taste that, right? - Right. - Okay, it's done then.
Both dishes were prepared without using the stove.
(Super simple apple cupcake that ignored all the knowledge about baking)
(Kim Pung's Apple-ly Cake)
I just had some extra time so I made this chestnut compote. If you want to try it...
If I like this one, I'll try that one too.
(Trying to see if it's safe to eat first...)
Do I eat it at once?
Yes, with the bread on the bottom.
When I tried it one by one, they were really good.
(How does it taste?)
It's just...
(It's just?)
It's just like...baby food.
- (Happy/Sad) - Baby food...
(tastes like baby food from a local grocery market?)
It tasted fine when I tried it.
This hot apple jam like thingy...I don't like that part.
So that's why you put that apple cookie in the fridge...to make it cold, huh?
I guess Kim didn't see that.
- So you don't like hot pies? - No.
(He doesn't like apple pies)
Chef Kim didn't know that.
But the bread is fine. Bread by itself is great.
It's because of the hot apple jam.
That was the only thing...
Then I'll try this compote with the bread.
I think they will go along.
So he likes chestnuts better than the apple jam.
Okay, he's trying it with the chestnuts.
So it's like chestnut custard.
Oh, this is much better.
So he should have used chestnuts instead of apple.
You should have switched the two.
I really like chestnut bread.
Oh, I see.
He doesn't like hot jams.
A chef needs to know the client's taste.
- I like it this way. - Yeah, he's eating the chestnut instead of apple jam.
- You like that? - Yup.
This is really good.
I have a long way to go.
But it's amazing that you were able to make a bread without the oven.
(Super simple pig feet potato croquette and apple cheese salad)
(Chef Lee Chan-oh's Instinctively Pig Feet)
He's eating without any hesitation.
(What does he think?)
- How is it? - This is really good.
(Thank goodness!/Oh no...)
But back then it was tasted a bit weird.
By itself - it's still great.
Very clean taste.
- So it has pig feet and potatoes? - Right.
So you like this one?
- It's really good. - I guess he likes that kind of texture.
He has a very unique taste.
- You really like that one? - Yup.
Look at the difference in his facial expressions.
(Complain -> Satisfaction)
- This one's really good. - You like that one?
He obviously likes this one better. What do you like about it?
It has this crispy texture. I really like it.
- It is his style, I guess. - You could eat this instead of rice.
- Instead of rice, huh? - Very good potatoes.
- They're potatoes, right? -Yes, right.
He keeps eating it. He says he can eat it instead of rice.
So it suits his taste.
Doesn't need the stove or sink. It's very simple to make.
You could easily make this at home.
We should try too. Let's see if there really is a difference between the two dishes.
He said that he liked this bread with the chestnuts better than with the apple jam.
(How will everyone else evaluate this dish?)
This time, I'll try it with chestnuts.
Yes, it goes better with chestnuts.
I like the apple jam, too.
When Chef Kim Pung made that apple jam, you could do it that way
if you really don't have time.
This method is not very well-known. I wonder how he knew this...
I've been meaning to ask.
While being on this show, I kept learning from other chefs.
And I thought - maybe this could work.
Being able to do this means that he really is stepping up. He's upgrading his skills.
I am quite amazed too that he was able to make this.
But my one suggestion would be when he was layering it,
if he had put more layers of bread and jam, it would've been better.
So maybe put the jam on the bottom and put the bread on the top.
Then that good texture of the bread would have lasted a bit longer.
Chef Sam always compliments Chef Kim Pung.
He has his respect for Chef Kim Pung.
I'm just really proud of him that he managed to do this.
Yes, he didn't even use the oven.
Now, let's try Chef Lee Chan-oh's dish - Instinctively Pig Feet.
Let's try it now.
(Very serious)
- Is it good? No? - It's good.
Eating them together - it's really good.
Pig Feet was the bomb.
Wow, the pig feet.
It's very chewy.
Pig feet could smell a bit but the apple and lemon are balancing it out.
Yeah, I saw how he put lots of lemon when he was making it.
The seasoning is perfect.
It has an aroma too. And it is right at the perfect level. Everything's so balanced.
I really like it.
(The actress likes his dish too)
You know how you didn't microwave the pig feet?
If you had, it would have lost its firm texture and might have tasted too oily,
It's a good thing that you didn't microwave it. It has this good texture.
First of all, it has a good balance.
Chewy pig feet and the crispy snack part.
Plus chewy cheese and the crisp apple.
It's a perfect balance.
Lots of complements, more than I expected.
You can't make conclusions while it's still in progress.
Once you taste the finished food,
you'll see what the chef was trying to do.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have made those kinds of comments even before you were done.
But back there, Chef Kim Pung's dish tasted really good.
I thought you might lose, so I was just worried.
But I didn't know you were gonna come up with this. Now it's time to choose.
Number 1, Chef Lee Chan-oh's Instinctively Pig Feet.
Number 2, Chef Kim Pung's Apple-ly Cake.
He pressed it.
By the way, Mr. Lee will give his kiss to the winner of this battle.
- He likes physical contact. - On their head? - Yes.
They were supposed to come up with a dish that doesn't require the oven.
Who is Mr. Lee going to choose? Chef Lee Chan-oh? Or Chef Kim Pung? Please show us!
Chef Lee Chan-oh is the winner!
(Chef Lee Chan-oh's Instinctively Pig Feet!)
(Chef Lee Chan-oh's dish mesmerized Sung-jae)
Chef Lee Chan-oh won three times in a row.
It was so crispy, I felt so refreshed when I ate it.
And it was delicious, too.
And he used ingredients you could buy from a convenience store. Even our audience
could easily make this.
Right, right.
Who do you want to share this moment of victory with?
With Kim Pung.
Oh, why?
I learned a lot from him, you know...about convenience stores.
- Give him a kiss! - (The Conferment of the Star Badge)
Chef Lee Chan-oh, is he going to kiss him?
Congratulations.
(Chef Lee Chan-oh's Instinctively Pig Feet - Winner)

We'll continue our Appetite CPR Battle. - (Chef Lee Yeon-bok vs. Chef Oh Sae-deuk)
(Behind the Fridge Tower)
(Doctor Oh Sae-deuk from Misters Hospital)
(Doctor Lee Yeon-bok from Mandarin Hospital)
Code Blue, Code Blue! It's an emergency. Our guest is losing his appetite.
At this rate, his appetite will disappear forever!
We need to perform the Appetite CPR immediately!
Dr. Oh and Dr. Lee, will you be able to revive his appetite?
Can you?
Can we save him?
We must. I'm a doctor now. I have no choice.
I'll try.
They look like those ladies who work at kimchi factories.
Well, we wanted to make them look like doctors...
Yes, he is the kimchi factory manager.
Alright.
(Chef Lee: fishcake, apple, string cheese, pickled vegetables,
instant spicy chicken fried rice, sweet chili sauce, sesame dressing)
(Chef Oh: smoked chicken breast)
Dr. Oh, what are you going to make?
I'm going to make 'Became Chicken'
'Became Chicken'?
I want chicken.
I'll use soy paste and mustard to make the sauce for this chicken breast.
And also mix them with green onions.
(Fumbling)
What I'm going to prepare today is
'I Rolled Them All'.
'I Rolled Them All'!
I'll make a big crepe with flour.
And then put some fried rice and fishcake.
Then I'll roll it and fry it on the pan.
I'll have to manage my time well.
So you are going to use processed food as your main ingredients?
He only has processed food.
He's been a Chinese food chef for 44 years.
But today, he'll be using processed food.
Before you go into the surgery, how bad is our guest's illness?
He doesn't have much time left.
(His Appetite Might be Gone Forever)
But I'll save him.
So the golden time is 15 minutes.
Yes, a very good expression - the golden time.
Our two chefs are putting their reputation on this battle.
So they prepared gifts for our audience.
If I win, I'll offer my knife.
Alright. I'll accept that one and then put mine down too.
Chef Lee, too! The knife has his name engraved on it.
Dial #3388.
Alright, #3388.
If you guess the winner correctly, you might win the knife.
Alright, the surgery will begin now.
Appetite Warrior Dr. Oh Sae-deuk.
Against Taste Strategist Dr. Lee Yeon-bok
Who will be able to revive Sung-jae's appetite?
The CPR Battle(?) will start now!
15 minutes of golden time!
There's not much time!
(1. Put flour, salt and hot water into a big bowl.)
He's mixing the dough with hot water.
So you're using noodles?
He's using hot water to make the dough.
He's not making noodles but he's trying to make like flat dough.
(2. Cover it with a wet towel and let it sit.)
(1. Put soy sauce into water and put sliced big green onions.)
(2. Crush hot pepper and garlic.)
(3. Stir the crushed hot pepper and garlic.)
When you cook it, you can get rid of the smell of the soy paste.
Can one of the cameras film Mr. Lee's neck?
We need to see if he's swallowing saliva.
If you catch him, please tell us.
So it's like his pulses being revived.
Because right now, we don't see any pulse. His Adam’s apple isn't moving.
We need to make him crave the food.
(3. Chop the green onion.)
When you hear this kind of sound, you normally get hungry.
But our Mr. Lee isn't reacting to that sound at all.
(4. Put the onion and green onion in the pan.)
- But I like that chopping sound. - Oh, you do?
Now, Chef Lee is preparing the fishcake.
Yes, fishcake attack!
There aren't that many ingredients to work with. And there's the egg.
Next is instant fried rice.
(6. Stir the fried rice with ketchup.)
I mean, he doesn't even have rice at home.
So it's like - not a lot of medicine that doctors can use.
Not a whole lot of options.
But they're going to use their talents to complete this surgery.
(4. Put the egg yolk and soy sauce in a bowl.)
(5. Mix the soy paste with water. Put only the liquid in a bowl.)
He's also using mustard for the sauce.
That looks so good.
- It's a new method, actually. - (Use lemon and sugar to complete the sauce.)
Soy paste hollandaise sauce.
Yes, soy paste hollandaise sauce. I've never seen that before.
So this is like a clinical trial.
Oh, this is kinda risky.
Well, he has to though. He's trying to come up with new medicine.
Mr. Lee uvula still isn't moving.
(7. Put flour on the cutting board. Work through the dough.)
Being able to make this dough in this amount of time? It's like Johns Hopkins level.
Yes, only possible at Johns Hopkins!
(8. Separate the dough into two piles and press them flat.)
(9. Drizzle sesame oil and overlay them.)
Oh, he's putting sesame oil. It looks really yummy.
(10. Roll out the dough.) - So it's like a pancake.
This will revive many people.
Chef Lee is an expert at this. This is 100% possibility.
Chef Lee looks very focused. He's determined to save the patient.
He thinks he's a real doctor.
Look at his face. His like a real doctor.
(11. Bake the dough in a dry pan.)
(9. Cool the green onions in ice water.)
(10. Beat the smoked chicken breast and shred it.)
He's shredding it right now.
How do you usually cook chicken breast, Mr. Lee?
I just microwave it.
I usually eat them with nuts.
This is the first time I've seen Chef Lee using cheese.
He's using cheese?
This is a big change! He's using cheese.
This technique that passed the clinical trial?
Right. The one he wrote his Johns Hopkins research paper on.
The one that was on TIME Magazine?
One of the top 10 Clinical Trials! It's that technique. He brought it to Korea.
It's amazing.
(Takes the crepe out )
(Slam!)
He's gonna separate them into two pieces, right?
(Deep breath)
Two pieces! Very neat!
Our patient just clapped too.
Way to go, Chef Lee!
And he's putting cheese inside.
And then the fried rice, Mr. Lee's favorite.
(He's rolling the crepe.)
Wow, this is amazing. Chef Lee normally doesn't use cheese.
Nurse, could you please go over there next to our doctors and tell us the details?
Less than 5 minutes left now.
Will they be able to revive him?
I'll try this rice.
The stirred instant spicy chicken fried rice, right?
How does it taste?
My tongue is reacting!
Oh Goodness!
But Mr. Lee always liked that fried rice anyway.
- Really? - Yes.
(Overreacted for Nothing)
(Put lemon peels into the soy hollandaise sauce.)
The sauce is the only thing he's making...
Chef Oh's sauce! How will that taste?
How is it? Does it stimulate your taste buds?
I don't think this will work.
He might not be able to save the patient.
It's a bit too salty.
It's okay because the chicken breast is unseasoned.
But by itself, the sauce is too salty. Might not work.
- Should we prepare surgical suction? - Yes, yes.
(16. Chop green onions and put them in a bowl.)
(17. Add chopped apple.)
He's now preparing pickled vegetables.
Oh, picked vegetables. But that was the only side dish in Mr. Lee's fridge.
Yeah, he only had that. Well, but our patient likes picked vegetables.
He added a dressing for his salad.
A sesame dressing.
(20. Put sweet chili sauce and mix one more time.)
(All his favorite ingredients put together. He looks shaken.)
The crepe has to be cooked all the way through. It might not be.
How does it look? Oh!
(Wow)
It looks so delicious.
(12. Chop the green onions and put them into a bowl with the chicken breast.)
(13. Mix it with the soy hollandaise sauce.)
(Now onto the plating!)
Chef Oh is on his plating stage.
He got done early today.
He's already done? Really?
His 'Became Chicken' is done!
- Chef Oh is done. - He tried so hard to save the patient. He's sweating like crazy.
His face is like drenched.
- He tried his best. Yes, he did.
Now, 1 minute and 45 secs left.
If we add this, I'm sure we can save our patient.
He's about to cut it, huh?
About 1 minute left now.
(Overflowing Cheese)
The cheese is coming out.
(Shaken/It Looks So Good!)
- This has to work! - Yes, it has to work.
His mouth is slightly opening!
I see it opening.
His uvula is moving.
I think he wants to eat it.
He just swallowed! He just swallowed!
(His Appetite Is Back!)
(Pulse is back)
(Appetite Revival Mission Accomplished)
(Suddenly Depressed)
Hurry up! Only 30 seconds left!
Mr. Lee's uvula is moving again. Hurry now!
He's done!
(Deeply Touched)
That was the Appetite Revival Battle.
I'm so thankful because before Chef Lee was even done,
Mr. Lee's uvula came back to life.
(Before/After Surgery)
(Trio of Chicken Breast, Soy Paste and Mustard)
(Chef Oh's Became Chicken)
So a harmony of chicken breast, soy paste, and mustard. Please take your time.
(Big Spoonful)
I hope his appetite is really back.
(Looking very serious)
-It's good! -It is?
Can you describe it to us?
I usually microwave the chicken so it's always a bit stiff.
But this is so soft.
The texture is really nice.
Is your mouth filled with saliva?
It's really good.
And the sauce has very unique taste.
Is it because of the soy paste?
So it's like Japanese soy paste.
But it has that distinctive smell.
So I stirred it with hot pepper to get rid of it.
- And I also put lemon juice and sugar. - Yes, I can taste the lemon, too.
And the green onions, it's very creative.
- The big green onions, right? - Right.
The fact that he was able to taste the green onions,
it means his taste buds are back to life.
It's really good. But!
But?
Something is missing.
Something is missing...
If it had a strong salty taste or maybe strong spicy taste...
So the taste is too weak, huh?
I understand, though. There weren't that many ingredients.
Yes, limited amount of medicine they were able to use. So it must've been hard.
But still, this is great.
(Convineince Store Instant Food Transformed Into A Mandarin Crepe)
(Chef Lee's I Rolled It All)
He's grabbing it with his hand. He's eating without any hesitation.
'I Rolled It All' - will it revive his appetite?
Will it work?
(Enjoying it without saying anything)
And the salad on the side.
(Yum)
(Nodding)
The salad is really good.
So that's the first thing he says - the salad.
He likes the salad. But that's not the main dish.
Well, it's good though that he likes the salad.
So it's like rice and side dish.
These two together, they're perfect.
By itself, it's a bit weak.
Mr. Lee usually doesn't eat much but he's having another bite.
It doesn't happen very often.
He's looking at the content, too.
One bite of the crepe, and then the salad.
- It's really good. - It's good?
- The salad is amazing. - What does it taste like?
It's really...
Is it kind of sour?
It's very unique.
The dressing can taste a bit oily. But because I put the pickled vegetables,
so it has that salty taste to cover it.
- Is your appetite back? - Yes.
Both dishes together, they did it.
That's good. I'm glad to hear that.
Okay, let's try Chef Oh's dish first.
It's 'Became Chicken'.
Chicken, soy paste and mustard.
Yes, 'Became Chicken'...
This should revive any patient.
This is amazing.
(Fake Chef Pung is getting some more)
It's so delicious. Not too salty.
And just like how he said, the chicken breast is very soft.
But the onions are so crispy.
And I don't think it's too salty. I really like this kind of seasoning.
Oh, you like it that way.
Japanese food uses a lot of mustard usually, right?
Yes, they have this soy paste with mustard in it.
I think he took it from that.
I like the taste of the onions and it also has this sweet taste, too. I like it.
I wish you had used more mustard.
If it was just a bit more stronger...
- Yes, like how I said about being salty or spicy. - Right, right.
You should have used more medicine for our patient.
You have to try new ways, Dr. Oh.
Well... we, who are not the patient, really liked it anyways.
My tongue's reacting.
Okay, now we'll try Chef Lee's 'I Rolled It All'.
(How will they evaluate it?)
My taste buds are going crazy here.
He only had those pickled vegetables.
He managed to incorporate it like this.
It's delicious.
Doesn't even need the main dish. The salad by itself is great.
- Just the salad by itself? - Yes.
You know, they sell Cole slaw at fast food restaurants.
The one with mayo, right?
Usually, you have to soak them for a while.
This dish is like American fast food with Cole slaw on the side.
I really like this one.
This is not Chinese, definitely.
Okay, dial #3388 and guess who the winner is.
We'll give you the winner's knife as a gift through a lottery.
Only the winner chef can give his knife.
Time to choose, Mr. Lee.
Number 1. Chef Oh's Became Chicken.
Number 2. Chef Lee's I Rolled It All.
Which one revived your appetite more?
He pressed it.
Mrs. Yum, who do you think he chose?
I think he was really enjoying the salad with the pickled vegetables.
So probably...
- Number 2? - If you were to choose?
Probably number 2, as well.
She's very honest. She chose Number 2.
Yes, Number 2.
Please show us the result!
The Appetite Revival Battle. Dr. Lee Yeon-bok against
Dr. Oh Sae-deuk. Who won the battle?
Please show us the result!
The Appetite Revival Battle. Dr. Lee Yeon-bok against
Dr. Oh Sae-deuk. Who won the battle?
Please show us the result!
(Chef Oh Sae-deuk - Winner)
(Disbelief)
(Unlike Everyone's Expectation)
(A Twist in the Ending!)
- He almost gave up though! - I'm getting goosebumps.
They were both so great. It was really hard to choose.
One thing about Chef Lee's dish was that...
you know this instant fried rice, it's really good when you just microwave it.
So he's sticking to the original taste of this instant fried rice.
That's why he chose Chef Oh's dish.
Chef Oh won against Chef Lee.
- It's his first time, right? - Oh, really?
Thank you so much.
I was just talking to the producers that I was gonna take a break if I lose again.
But Mr. Lee helped me out.
So I saved him!
Yes, he saved me.
So they saved each other.
The most important fact is that Mr. Lee's appetite came back!
I'm so glad.
- Now, you can explore this vast world of taste. - Yes, when it's completely back,
I guess I'll go to actual restaurants and dine.
If you would wait in line, that'd be perfect.
If you spot Mr. Lee waiting in line at a restaurant,
It means that restaurant is really good.
please take a picture of him and send it to us.
We'll send you 20kg of rice as a gift.
So to wrap it up, our Chef Oh is the winner today. Congratulations!
