A project where hard to use ingredients in your fridge
find a new identity!
The best Chef army in Korea
will completely empty out your refrigerator.
A sophisticated cooking talk show, Take Good Care
Of the Fridge!
Nice to see everyone.
On a tiring and difficult Monday night,
these are the people who bring healing foods for everyone.
Let me introduce the 8 members of the Chef army!
(The 8 member Chef army who present healing foods)
All of the Chefs
have now been with us for a total of 20 whole months.
-And I thought we were all getting along well but... -Yes, yes.
There are some viewers
who say that some of the relationships seem suspicious.
They want to know if Choi Hyun-seok and Kim Poong don't actually get along.
-There are quite a few people who are curious about this. -Indeed.
He posted it on his social media and got in trouble.
(Exposing each other is a given!)
The dog has gotten quite vicious.
(Enemies that get into fist fights(?))
Is the next one...
Chef Choi Hyun-seok?
(The truth behind their relationship is?)
Inside the waiting room,
they're friendly and joke around with each other.
At least they're good people. They don't find in front of elders.
(The two pretend to be friendly in front of the boss)
I can give you an exact answer.
-Oh really? -Yes.
The two of them...
Have a strictly business relationship.
A strictly business relationship.
(They're not friends but business partners instead?)
Even though they bicker, they still shoot commercials together.
-They also hold lectures together. -You're right. -And they cook together.
-So it's just a strictly business relationship. -Yes.
-He once said this to me before. -Yes?
-Without laughing. -No laughing.
-He said this when we passed by each other in the waiting room. -Yes?
I'm jealous of you.
(Can't hide it)
Did you or did you not say that?
Did you or did you not!!
-Did you say you were jealous or not? -I can agree with that, too.
-He says he wants to get messed up, too. -Of course.
Just out of nowhere...
"I'm jealous of you."
You must really be jealous.
So we've gotten a clearer idea of their relationship now.
So this is how things are.
It is now time for us to meet
the owners of the fridges.
Who will they be?
We will now introduce the fridge owners!
(The fridges of the guests today)
[Transporting it as is to the studio)
(And yet another fridge)
(Also brought as is to the studio)
(Today's fridge owners)
(Will be revealed now)
(Tada)
The owners of the fridges today!
Jang Su-won and Kim Jong-min!
Welcome!
(Kim Jong-min & Jang Su-won)
A group that made tides in the 2000s.
Leader of Koyote,
Known as the pure but idiotic man in variety shows.
The friendly neighborhood robot,
Kim Jong-min!
Nice to meet you.
Did you get a bit tanned?
Oh yes, I've been outdoors quite a bit so I've gotten tanner.
-Filming outdoors must be hard. -So hard. -Yes.
-I've only been eating outside lately. -Yes.
So I'm really excited that I get to eat here today.
-I see, I see. It's good to have you here. -Thank you.
A 1st generation idol who debuted in 1997.
A member of Sechs Kies.
Are you okay...?
You must've been surprised.
Is that how you do it?
That's right.
The man with the robot acting.
-Jang Su-won! -Jang Su-won!
(The robot actor, Jang Su-won)
If you could do it again for the viewers.
Are you okay...?
-You must've been surprised. -Yes, I was very surprised!
That's how it's done.
Hello everyone. I've made a come back as Sechs Kies.
I'm the emotionless robot, Jang Su-won.
(Welcome!)
So the two of you...
have the similarity of being in a dance group
that received lots of loved back in the 2000s.
But how is your relationship in real life?
-It was a little odd, to be honest. -It was odd?
-Because he's my senior in terms of the music industry. -Yes.
But I'm a year older than him.
So he debuted earlier than you but you were born earlier.
I feel like we used formal speech for almost 10 years.
So I feel like Jang Su-won must've made a big deal about debuting first.
Not at all.
I've never done that to Jong-min.
How can you talk informally when he looks at you like that.
So you've always been formal with each other?
-Yes, always until we starting shooting a show together. -Got it.
-So Kim Jong-min. -Yes?
One of the things you told our production crew was
out of the Sechs Kies members,
for dancing there's Jae-jin and Jae-duc.
For singing, there's Kang Sung-hoon.
What is he??
What does Jang Su-won do?
When it comes to not having a role in our groups, you and I are the same.
That's like the pot calling the kettle black.
Do you admit to this?
Well to be honest... I think Su-won's sense of pitch isn't too good.
-Really, really! -His sense of pitch? -Isn't it?
-My bad, my bad... -He has a tendency to sing too flat.
-Oh I see. -So his songs tend to go flat.
-But you don't sing flat, right? -I sing a little too high.
-You end up being too sharp? -Yes, yes.
If one person is flat and the other person sharp,
then with the main melody, the other two
can make an amazing harmony don't you think?
If Sechs and Koyote both don't work out,
I think you two could put out an album together.
-The two of... -The shortened form of Sechs Kies
is Jekki, not Sechs.
Why do you keep calling them Sechs over and over?
-It's Jekki! -Ah okay Jekki, Jekki. I got it. I apologize.
-Jekki, yes. -Jekki, Jekki. Yes!
As for Jang Su-won, we really have to
congratulate him on something.
For the first time in 16 years,
Sechs Kies has come together once again.
A round of applause.
(Sechs Kies get together for the first time in 16 years)
To get together as Jekki...
-I never imagined that would happen. -Yes.
For us to all get together again,
doing the music we enjoy,
and being able to sign a contract with a company we liked.
So I feel like this year has been very great and fruitful.
It does seem that way.
-So when is Koyote getting back together? -What about Koyote?
-Us? -Aren't they together? -We've always been together though?
(We've always been together though?)
(Hahaha)
So you guys have never disbanded officially even once.
Stuck to each other like glue.
We're the one co-ed group that has remained together.
What's the secret behind that?
-Oh man... -Is it because of the leader?
-The leader's role? -No.
No. It's because they keep Shin-ji happy.
He said it's because they keep Shin-ji happy.
-So don't make Shin-ji mad. -Exactly.
Without Shin-ji, we can't sing.
If Shin-ji were to leave Koyote,
-it wouldn't be Koyote. -Oh is that so? -Yes.
-Isn't Kim Jong-min more important though? -Not at all.
Even if I left and someone replaced me, it would still be Koyote.
(Even without Kim Jong-min, it's still Koyote!)
But without Shin-ji, it's not Koyote.
To be real, what do Bbaek Ga and I even do?
You guys have to all be together of course.
Let me ask this question, too.
Kim Jong-min's biggest interest is...
Women? Yes... Is that right?
You're correct.
I think about women 80% of the time.
You mean these days?
Well I'm at the age where I should get married you know?
-I feel like I'm late. -Yes, I see.
And I need to have children, too.
But who should I meet?
-So you're thinking of a marriage partner? -Yes.
If I meet someone without thinking of marriage,
-I would feel bad for the girl. -Oh...
Has that happened a lot?
Many times~
(So hilarious)
I feel so sorry.
Because you feel bad.
But wow, Jong-min is really honest.
That's the type of person he is.
If I ask him any more, I think he'll tell me everything.
So I'll stop questioning him now.
Are you greedy when it comes to food?
Yes I do get a bit greedy.
I'll be looking at something else even while I'm eating.
So you're eating already but you're like I need to eat that, too?
I need to eat this and then that next?
Yes, that's exactly how I am.
He's the type to eat really well though.
I really hate not having enough to eat.
Anything you like in particular?
I particularly like ramen.
Ramen?
-It's to the extent where people will even call me Kim Jong-men. -Yes.
I like noodles that much.
-It's to that extent? -Yes, I eat ramen at least once a day.
-Do you eat it more than once sometimes? -Of course!
-So you just need noodles. -Yes, I love noodles.
Ah, he likes noodles.
Alright then, first.
We will completely empty out
the friendly neighborhood robot, Kim Jong-min's fridge.
-That over there is your fridge? -Yes, that's right.
How long have you lived by yourself?
Wow... I think it's been over 10 years since I've lived alone.
-Really? -Yes. -That's quite awhile.
I think 13 years?
When did you start using this fridge?
-I think I've used it for 10 years. -10 years? -Yes.
I bought it used.
-Oh so it was used from the start? -Yes.
-I guess you'll have to get married to change it. -Yes.
-Yes, so change it when you get married. -To one where ice comes out.
Is it okay to go through this even if there are traces of women?
Let us know beforehand. You said you bought this 10 years ago?
-That sounds about right. -How many women have you dated in 10 years?
2? ... 3?
So there might be someone who has never come to your house?
No... No?
They've all come over?
Yes they have.
-So they've all come over... -Oh goodness Jong-min.
Well let's see what traces might have been left.
Kim Jong-min's fridge
will now revealed for the first time on TV!
(What does Kim Jong-min's fridge look like?)
Kim Jong-min's fridge
will now be revealed for the first time on TV!
(Oh what)
Oh there's a lot of stuff.
Be revealed!
Tada!
Oh there's a lot of stuff.
There's actually quite a bit of stuff here.
Yes, yes.
-I thought since you said you were living alone. -Yes?
I thought there wouldn't be a lot of stuff and empty.
The light doesn't work here?
It's broken.
You didn't fix it even though you knew it was broken?
I don't know where to get it fixed.
Oh... This is broken.
Alright so.
-We've temporarily... -Oh yes.
-Attached a light. -Oh that looks nice. -Yes, yes.
It's nice, right? This is how it's supposed to look when you open the door.
Well the beer has caught my eyes first.
He has 8 cans of beer in here.
And there's beer over here as well.
-You must like beer a lot? -Yes, it's because I have a weak kidney.
A weak kidney?
So I need to drink some beer.
You need to drink a lot of beer for a weak kidney?
Oh are you supposed to drink beer?
-They said that barley is good for me. -Ah barley...
I believe that foods with cold energy are supposed to be good for them.
How did you find that out?
I found out recently.
So I researched some things about it.
I'm sure they didn't tell you to eat barley like that though?
(Beer is barley, too...)
It's still barley!
There are things I don't eat because of that.
-Nothing with honey. - Is that bad for you?
-Anything like garlic. -Oh...
I need to eat more pork over chicken also.
-Because of a weak kidney. -Yes, exactly.
My goodness.
This is... cherry.
-And mango. -For when you drink?
Did you buy this for your kidney?
Ah yes. Since mango are from hot countries, I put them in the fridge.
-You're just guessing, right? -Yes, I'm just guessing.
I thought you said you looked this up?
-There are also lemons here. -Yes.
Are lemons good for you, too?
Yes, of course. Since it's cool...
-And sour. -How do you eat the lemon?
-Exactly... -That... What is that?
In the gin and tonic.
-In the gin and tonic. -So for alcohol.
-Oh I like it. -It sounds refreshing.
(You should try it)
He has a lot of soybean paste sauce.
-My old place used to be on the roof. -Yes?
So I used to grill a lot of meat.
-Like pork belly? -The expiration date on this...
-They're all expired. -All expired. -All of them?
This one is from 2013.
And these are from 2015 and 2015.
If it's this bad, you'd probably get sick.
Did you eat this recently?
I recently opened it to eat it,
but it was too hard so I couldn't.
It looks like you've eaten quite a lot of chili peppers as well.
Half of this is all peppers.
I think this is going to grow soon.
The peppers will grow like this.
Since you sowed the seeds.
He sowed the seeds in there.
This sauce is from February for 2013...
Then your ex-girlfriend must've eaten this with you.
(Just keep laughing)
She must've left because her stomach hurt.
Why didn't you buy her a new one?
That's not why she left.
So your ex-girlfriend dipped her meat in this, too?
-Must've eaten together a lot. -No, just with my friends and seniors.
Only his ex? I'm sure his ex-ex ate some.
His ex-ex, too?
I know this person, right?
-Who? -I know who this is.
I saw you guys.
You saw us?
I saw you walking together with your arms linked.
-I was linking my arms with her? -Yes.
If you were linking arms, I'm sure it was your girlfriend.
Am I wrong?
I'm not sure...
Did that person eat this with you?
Yes, it seems that way.
Alright then. Let's go onto the next rack.
-Soy bean paste. -Isn't this soy bean paste?
My mother... must've given that to me.
Must've given it to you?
By any chance...
Does your ex-girlfriend know your door passcode?
-You didn't change it? -He might've changed it.
-No way. -You didn't change it, right?
Did you change it or did you not? Not, right?
-I don't think I've changed it since then... -Oh...
Then you don't actually cook for yourself at home?
-I've cooked that before. -This one? -Yes. -The soy bean paste?
You seem to really like pastes.
It's traditional!
It's traditional soy bean paste.
I really like traditional soy bean paste.
So I've tried following recipes online before...
-I see, I see. -But it was...
-So you tried cooking on your own. -Yes.
-But it didn't work out well. -So I gave up.
I see...
Have you found anything? Oh!
Oh!
Record that! Record that!
-What is it? -Record it!
(What is it?)
-Oh! Is it dyed hair? -It's dyed hair?
We have discovered his ex-girlfriend's hair.
Why would her hair be there?
Indeed.
-That's what we want to ask you. -There's no way.
How would there be hair there. Did she put her head inside?
-This is... -No way. That's ridiculous.
Hmm... It seems like the hair has been bleached before.
-It's been dyed, right? -It's not a man's hair. -Look at the end.
They dyed their hair in Gangnam somewhere.
Wow this is no joke.
We'll get it tested.
Let's get it tested.
Please tell us the results ASAP.
When did this hair get here?
We'll see as the results come out.
You know when the results come out,
we'll see their name and date of birth, too.
Kim Jong-min. Make sure to be on your toes.
But I can see over here.
You must also like noodles?
-I love noodles. -Thin noodles? -Yes.
So you just like all noodles.
But I can't make it well and that's why that's in the freezer.
Then you should've given up the ramen and made the noodles with the ramen soup base.
Oh!
(This is how Chefs think)
-I never thought of that! Just veggies or whatever.
I really never thought of that.
So you just need to switch out the ramen noodles for these.
But you didn't know how to cook it so you just bought it.
-This looks like the crisper drawer. -Yes. -The crisper drawer!
The crisper drawer has a lot of stuff.
Pak choi.
Look at all of the organized vegetables.
Yes, we have sausage here.
Rice cakes.
Do you put bacon in ramen, too?
-Yes, I do put it in ramen. -So this bacon is for ramen.
What's the pak choi for?
-To put in ramen. -The pak choi is for ramen, too?
So you add a lot of stuff to ramen.
Yes because just ramen by itself
seems lacking in nutrients.
And also, there is a lot of kimchi.
-Yes, kimchi. -There's a variety of kimchi.
-Since you can't have ramen without kimchi.And you love ramen. -Oh for ramen?
-For the ramen. -Kimchi is a must.
So there are different kinds of kimchi.
Wow but this is...
Oh, look at this mold.
There was so much, I was surprised!
But I've never seen the mold like this...
Does it normally grow like this?
-I've never seen it like this. -The mold is a bit...
There's a little too much.
-Not too long ago, Eun Ji-won... -Yes, yes?
Was selling kimchi and told me to buy some.
And so I did but there was too much so I put it away in the fridge.
That was around a month ago?
One month?
Eun Ji-won didn't give you any kimchi, Jang Su-won?
If someone who normally doesn't give me stuff, gives me something,
I would find that suspicious.
(Su-won~ Want some kimchi?)
I'm sure he would've given me one with lots of mold as well.
Oh... Well this is quite...
The salinity must be very low.
And the temperature in the fridge seems inconsistent.
You should change the rubber gasket.
It only costs 20,000 to 30,000 won to change it.
Yes, that. You need to get rid of that.
Oh he needs to switch out this gasket.
No wonder. The fridge kept making weird noises.
Wow.
-Thank you Mihal for the good advice. -I didn't know I could fix that.
In the next drawer.
Oh no...
-Is something there? -Wow this...
-Potato. -Potato.
From 2013.
-2013? -Yes.
A potato from 2013?
It's a potato from 2013.
-Wow... -It looks like it's been fermenting.
(After carefully taking it out)
(He tries splitting it in half...)
It's black.
-It's black? -It's black?
Oh what is that?
(Oh my goodness)
(Sounds of disgust bursting out from everyone)
Isn't that oil? That's gotta be oil.
You didn't see this in here?
I just never opened that drawer up before.
Let's take a look at the freezer now.
Is this fermented soy bean paste?
-Oh what is that? -It's frozen winter in here. Yes...
I feel like a penguin might come out.
-Look at this. -A penguin probably lives here.
I think I want to poke our flag in here.
All of the ingredients so far
have been dried up and dying like Kim Jong-min's heart.
Here is a semi-dried squid.
It's not even opened.
Wow take a look at this.
It looks like some green onions you chopped up.
Wow this is just...
What exactly can you make with the ingredients you've found so far?
This is my first time seeing a fridge like this.
Let's look at the cabinet ingredients now.
There is quite a lot of ramen here.
Do you eat different ones?
-Yes, I always switch off. -You don't only eat one kind? -Never.
-So you always switch off. -Always switch off.
So if you had a tip for how to make really delicious ramen...
Yes. You need to control the taste with the soup base.
The amount of soup base is key.
-You don't put in the whole packet? -I do.
(What in the world...)
-How does that work? -Don't you need to adjust the water?
-Yes, you have to adjust the water. -I see.
Chefs, for ramen,
do you have your own tips for making delicious ramen?
-Tell us. -That's what I came to learn.
-Tell us anything. -I put octopus and clams in my ramen.
-Yes. -Octopus and clams.
It's good if you pair it with the ramen soup base.
Oh...
It's also good if you have shrimp.
Any type is fine and on top of that.
If you add vinegar and lemon, you can make tom yum soup.
Just with ramen.
And it helps to add kimchi liquid.
Yes, since you do live by yourself.
-There's instant seaweed soup at the store. -Yes.
If you make that with the ramen noodles,
it's really good. The ramen has a very clean taste because of the soup.
Okay, I'll try that out.
Ahn Jung-hwan, you've also made seaweed soup before.
I add about half of the soup base.
Yes, yes.
I like eating ramen with a bit of soybean paste sauce added to it.
-Oh... -The soup gets richer and delicious.
-Like a miso ramen? -Yes.
Everyone watching this show right now is probably
-all making ramen right now. -I'm sure they are.
All bubbly and hot.
We have just taken a look inside the fridge of Kim Jong-min
who loves ramen very much.
All of the ingredients,
seemed like they were meant to be used for ramen.
That's the feeling I got.
In the past 13-14 years,
I've probably only had ramen 3-4 times.
For the past 14 years?
-You've only had it 3-4 times? -So this match seems hard for me.
(Mihal doesn't feel good about this fridge)
So you'd have a hard time cooking with this fridge.
Alright then.
Kim Jong-min's desired dishes are revealed!
Show us!
So Mister Ramen King.
Dish that will go well with beer.
In the case of Ramen King, I love ramen so much,
I end up eating it every day.
So I want to try something new.
What about dish that will go well with beer?
Since I have a weak kidney,
something that'll go
really well with beer.
Food that someone with a weak kidney would like.
So that's what you meant.
It's time to reveal the members of the Chef army
who will be cooking with Kim Jong-min's fridge.
First. The 1st seed.
With 20 wins, Lee Yeon-bok.
2nd seed.
With 14 wins, Kim Poong.
3rd seed.
With 9 wins, Oh Se-deuk.
And the 4th seed.
With 4 wins, Chef Jeong Ho-young. Yes.
So it'll be these 4 Chefs.
Yes, I...
I think it will be fun to make a dish that goes well with beer.
You think it will be fun?
For a weak kidney.
So the Chef with the 20 wins is going with the dish for beer.
-With the feeling of getting tested by the master -Oh...
I'll try cooking the same thing.
So you want to see how much you've grown.
He's going to cook a dish that goes well with beer.
That means Oh Se-deuk,
And Chef Jeong Ho-young,
will end up having a match with ramen.
Since I'm running a noodle specialty store.
Oh right!
I'm pretty confident when it comes to noodles.
Alright so the matches have been decided.
And now we'll have a moment with Seong-joo
and Jung-hwan.
Walking into the world.
It's time to promote our #3388.
All the way from San Francisco.
Let's go together!
Cha-cha-cha-cha-cha!
We are in America right now.
There's something I want to tell you.
If you ask me
where I am,
this is the Golden Gate Bridge.
Golden Gate Bridge.
-We are currently in San Francisco right now. -San Francisco.
And standing by the Golden Gate Bridge.
What is #3388?
Oh! Are you from Korea?
-You must be a viewer of our show! -Yes, yes.
Nice to meet you! What is #3388?
This is a way for our show to connect with our viewers.
Our show is called "Take Good Care of the Fridge".
Yes, I've been watching it!
Isn't it where the Chefs come out and have matches?
-Yes that's correct! -So while watching our show,
if you send a message to #3388,
and correctly guess the Chef who ends up winning.
Then we send you presents.
-#3388! -Yes, yes. -#3388.
#3388!
-#3388. -There's a person here
who is going on a frenzy!
So now, using Kim Jong-min's fridge
we will begin the match for Mister Ramen King.
We're not the only ones who are curious about what kind of ramen we'll see.
I'm sure tons of students all living by themselves,
and the people who love ramen,
are watching with their eyes wide open.
But I want to mention that
this is the first time these two have been matched up.
They've never gone up against each other before.
-Yes, that's true. -This is their first match-up.
But oddly enough, Chef Jeong Ho-young,
has a low win-rate with noodle dishes.
It's very surprising.
1 win, 2 losses.
But his opponent on the other hand is amazing.
He has a 100% win rate with noodle dishes.
Yes, Chef Oh Se-deuk.
Let us know if there's anything you want to let us know.
The noodles... I like... Not...
I don't like overcooked noodles.
You like it undercooked.
Yes, I like it undercooked and kind of firm.
-Ah you like it firm? -Yes, firm. There needs to be texture.
(Chef Jeong Ho-young's Ingredients)
(Spicy seafood ramen, pak choi, cabbage, milk)
(Sea snails, bacon, sausage, fish cake, Gouda cheese)
(Chef Oh Se-Deuk's Ingredients)
(Ox-bone soup ramen, spicy seafood ramen, pak choi)
(chicken breast, bacon, octopus, seaweed)
First off. Chef Jeong Ho-young. What will you be making?
Yes, the dish that I will be making today is...
Seafood Soup's Innocence.
The Seafood Soup's Innocence! Wow...
-What kind of dish is it? -Whoa oh oh~ Hey!
(The origin of the horse dance)
(Koyote's "Innocence")
(The dancing machine Chef explains his dish with a dance)
Oh so the innocence is from that.
The song "Innocence."
Just like Koyote,
I'm trying to make a cream sauce spicy seafood soup
that is white and refreshing.
I'll be stir-frying bacon and sausage together.
Something smooth but also spicy.
So I'll try to make a cream sauce spicy seafood noodle soup that's not too oily.
-Wow... -Yes.
A new type of spicy seafood soup.
What I'll be making today is.
Oh Chicken Mania Noodles.
Not a Japanese word?
Oh Chicken Mania Noodles.
What kind of dish is this?
Along with some squid,
I found a can of chicken breast.
So I'm going to mix the two,
and make a broth.
You'll have to blow on the noodles while eating them.
Wow...
On that note, I actually...
-Made "Chappaguri" a few years back. -Yes, yes you did.
-It got pretty popular. -It was a big deal.
-I can make that in about 5 minutes. -Of course.
It only takes 5 minutes to make but my kids loved it.
-I've tried it before, too. -Yes, yes. -I think it took 4.5 minutes to make.
Of course.
Hopefully the Chefs make something better than "Chappaguri".
Okay then. Using the ingredients in Kim Jong-min's fridge,
we will begin the cooking match for Mister Ramen King.
Oh. I'm getting nervous.
With or without having what he needs.
Always being able to cook in any situation like a mother.
A "Oh mom" of Chefs.
Chef Oh Se-deuk versus...
Having studied in Japan,
the land of ramen and udon.
The hidden master of noodles.
Chef Jeong Ho-young.
Which of the Chefs will capture
the tastebuds of Kim Jong-min?
Starting now,
the match for Mister Ramen King
will now begin!
(The 15 minute cooking match starts!)
Make sure to manage your time wisely!
And the ramen noodles must not get soggy!
They're starting to boil their water first.
It's important for the water to boil quickly.
-Oh what is he putting in the water? -Vinegar?
-Oh it's vinegar. -Is that his secret?
Oh... And he's boiling the eggs in that water?
-Ahh... You're boiling the eggs in that? -Yes.
(1. Boil eggs in water with salt and vinegar)
Oh is that vinegar?
Are you copying Chef Oh?
-No, if you put in salt and vinegar. It really helps. -Salt and vinegar.
-For boiling eggs. -It makes it easier to peel as well.
-It makes it easier to peel the egg and also for the noodles -Yes?
If you add vinegar,
the noodles stay firm longer.
Oh I never knew that.
-Yes, wasn't that a good tip? -Yes, it was a good tip.
It seems like we're all very interested in this right now.
Chef Jeong is neatly chopping.
Almost like when your mother cooks.
He's very delicate.
-Normally, when the other Chefs chop things, they make loud noises. -Yes?
But Chef Jeong chops very quietly.
-Very delicately. -Exactly.
Instead of the hard wood sound, it's very soft.
Yes, indeed. It really feels like your mother is cooking for you.
(4. Thinly slice the cabbage)
To be honest,
my teacher used to scold me if I chopped things too loudly.
-Oh did he? -Yes.
-But this is a show, right? -Yes.
The producers like it if you chop loudly like that.
(Half just noise, the other half actual chopping!)
What you see isn't my normal self.
But for the viewers,
-I'm doing it on purpose. -Is that so?
What's that bird... in the Korean? The one that makes that pecking sound?
-Woodpecker. -Woodpecker.
-Oh the woodpecker bird? -Yes, woodpecker Chef.
Oh woodpecker Chef?
(Peck peck peck peck peck peck peck peck ~)
(Bulgarian representative woodpecker Mihal)
-People would get yelled? -Don't make that woodpecking noise!
Oh I see...
-Are you a woodpecker? -Yes, exactly.
Why do you tell you not to make sounds?
If you chop too roughly,
the blade of the knife might get damaged.
Is that how it is? I see...
(Ho-yeong mom even protects his knife's blade)
(5. Chop pak choi, green peppers, leek, bacon, and sausage into smaller pieces)
He's putting in ham. Ham!
It kind of looks like he's making" army stew."
-Some fish cake, too. -It does seem quite similar to "army stew."
What is that?
-Cheese. -It's cheese. -You're adding cheese?
-It's Gouda cheese. -Yes, I'm thinking of adding Gouda cheese to the broth.
Do you like cheese in your ramen?
-To be honest I don't really eat it too much. -You don't really like it.
(Flustered)
He doesn't really like eating food with cheese!
Don't you also not really like creamy foods?
I don't eat it that often... I do eat it. Just not very often.
But since he is being creative.
Yes, he is being very creative.
(7. Strain out the sea snails using a strainer)
(Chef Oh Se-deuk prepares ingredients for the broth)
(2. Cut the bacon and put in pot)
Starting with the leeks.
He's chopping up the leeks.
-Most ramen have green onions, right? -Yes.
Yes, ramen needs green onions for that rich taste.
(Next comes the cleaning of the semi-dried squid)
(4. Slice the semi-dried squid and put in the pot to stir-fry it all together)
(5. Add hot water and ox-bone soup base to the pot)
-Did Chef Oh add his ramen soup base? -Yes.
-He added in the ramen soup base! -He added the one that tastes like ox-bone soup.
He added the ox-bone soup base.
(6. Add soy sauce and canned chicken breast to the pot and boil it all together)
It looked like he just added chicken. Chicken breast?
I thought chicken wasn't good for people with weak kidneys.
-Yes, I did actually say that earlier. -Oh yes...
You should've been paying attention to stuff like that!
He's got a weak kidney!
-After you go and get an actual physical exam. -Yes?
I'll remake it for you then.
-You don't know for sure yet, right? -Yes, I don't.
You're not sure?
But man, I'm very curious about what the broth is going to taste like.
Wow that ramen broth...
Well right now, Chef Oh is making his ramen broth.
And Chef Jeong has yet to bring his water to a boil.
I wonder if it's the A/C. The water isn't boiling.
It's not boiling at all.
-That's as big as you can get it. -But why isn't it...
Oh why is he taking water out?
-It's taking a really long time to boil. -The water isn't boiling?
Chef Jeong Ho-young is having a hard time boiling his water.
-Can I put my noodles in here, too? -Yes.
Put it in together.
You need to cook the noodles.
Since his water isn't boiling.
So you're letting him cook his noodles with yours?
Chef Oh, you're okay with letting him cook his noodles with yours?
Did you give him your permission?
I mean it's just the ramen...
-Wow that's very nice of him. -Yes.
-That fair play. -They don't even have a lot of room right now.
(Chef Jeong is focused on making his broth)
(9. In an oiled pan, add chili flakes, soy sauce, green peppers)
(And spicy seafood soup base to the cut up ingredients and stir-fry them)
Oh he just added in the milk! The milk is going in!
-He's pouring in the milk right now! -Why is he pouring so much?
He's added the milk as if it was the soup broth.
From what I know,
Kim Jong-min seems to like traditional tasting foods...
So will he like this type of ramen?
Chef Lee Yeon-bok is exactly right.
-I like traditional style foods. -You do? -Yes...
Then it's bad for the ramen to have milk in it...
You guys need to pay more attention during the talk show part...
-All the answers come out then? -Yes, they do.
This might not be good...
(11. Add black pepper, sea snail, and salt to the soup and bring to a boil)
There's 5 minutes left.
-There's only 5 minutes left. -Oh!
There's only 5 minutes left!
Ahn Jung-hwan, if you would!
The time goes by so quickly.
This ramen is...
The taste of the broth is what's important!
-How is Chef Oh's broth? -This...
-Is this okay? -How will it taste?
He's trying Chef Oh's broth first!
The ramen broth...
How is it?
-It must not be good. -Maybe it's bland?
-Is it greasy? -This doesn't taste good or bad.
(Ambiguous)
I only taste the bacon and nothing else really...
Ah that's very disappointed Chef Oh!
There isn't a lot of time left!
I feel like Chefs...
Because of their pride,
They give up on using MSG in their foods.
So they don't use the soup base.
But you have to add the soup base in!
(Adds in the soup base right away!)
I was going to put it in.
It was lacking some soup base.
- You're adding more too? Come on. - That's right!
- You're adding more too? - They're the flakes.
Why aren't you adding in the cheese?
- A little later... - Are you contemplating?
He added in the cheese! He added it.
- He listens to me. - Right.
Let's try the soup.
Chef Jeong's seafood soup.
I wonder how it's going to taste!
- I think it's going to be unique. - It has to taste rich!
How is it?
It tastes like pizza.
(He created pizza ramen?)
It tastes like pizza?
When you order pizza with a lot of bell peppers, is it called bulgogi pizza?
Yes.
- It tastes like that. - It's very western.
(10. Slice the white part of the leek very thinly)
(11. Cut up the pak choi in smaller pieces)
(12. Put salt in boiling water and boil the pak choi)
(13. Peel the hard boiled eggs and cool them in ice water)
Check on the noodles.
You guys should check on the noodles. He likes it firm. Right now...
The noodles got mixed together.
Chef Oh took the noodles out first.
You can't separate them now! The noodles are all mixed up!
(14. Rinse the noodles in ice water)
They're in a hurry now.
He's washing the noodles right now.
He's in a hurry now.
(MC Kim Seong-joo rushes over with the camera)
He's taking the noodles out.
(15. Parboil the noodles.)
He's in a hurry!
He's dividing it. It's quite hectic.
(Unusual 1 Pot 2 Noodles System)
They're sharing the noodles.
(14. Cool the noodles in the ice water) (15. Put the noodles in a bowl.)
(15. Get rid of the eggshell. Cut it in half.)
Success! Soft-boiled egg!
(16. Put the noodles in a bowl.)
So this tastes like pizza?
- Really? Pizza? - Try it.
(Does it taste like pizza?)
It does~ It really tastes like pizza.
(17. Put the cream spicy seafood soup on top of the noodles.)
(17. Put the ramen soup over the noodles.)
- Okay, Chef Oh is putting the soup in.
(18. Put pak choi and egg on top to finish it.)
Chef Oh finished!
Now that some time have passed, it actually tastes good.
I think it'll be alright. Are you done, too? He's done.
Chef Jeong is done as well.
Good work, everybody.
I am so curious.
These are amazing.
They look so good.
(Soup base made with squid and chicken)
(Chef Oh Se-deuk's 'Oh Chicken Mania Noodles')
It looks very high-quality.
Wow, this..
This is amazing.
So first, he'll try Chef Oh's 'Oh Chicken Mania Noodles'.
I wanted it to taste like it was fried.
So he used squid and chicken breast.
(How will he react?)
He looks happy.
(He's tasting it...)
(Not sure)
(Flustered)
What is he gonna do? His reaction is unsure!
He's thinking, "what kind of taste is this?"
(Transparent Brain - His face shows his every thought)
(Laughing)
What kind of face is that?
Oh, what's gonna happen now...
Oh~!
- How is it? - Wow~
- Hmmm... - Hmm?
It's not so good? - No, no.
- It's good?
- How is it? - At the end, you can taste the seafood.
(After an evaluation, he eats one more spoonful)
Did you put vinegar in, by any chance?
Just a little. When I was boiling the noodles.
It kinda tastes sour.
It's very unique.
- You wish it didn't have that sour taste? - Right.
(We knew it.)
He's like, "Did you put in vinegar?" We can so tell.
Try both of them. Then we'll evaluate.
(Spicy cream seafood noodles made with milk and cheese)
(Chef Jeong Ho-young's 'Seafood Soup's Innocence')
Lots of ingredients in here.
The soup tasted like pizza. It was a little spicy.
(Slurp)
(He's tasting it very carefully...)
Does it take like vinegar, too?
(Huh?)
- (Very shrewd reaction) - His face doesn't look good.
- One more time? - He has only one facial expression, too.
What are we gonna do?
Wow, it's very spicy.
He's like a ramen Sommelier.
What did he put in here?
(He's trying it one more time.)
How does it taste?
Stop chewing. He keeps eating it.
This kind of has the western taste.
- Like Americanized noodles? - Yes.
Okay, he's trying Chef Oh's dish again.
And this one tastes like Japanese ramen.
This one tastes like American one.
It's supposed to be opposite.
The guy who made Japanese one is French food chef.
The one who made American one is Japanese food chef.
- Chef Oh's dish tastes familiar. - Something you've tried before.
I usually put a lot of squid in my ramen.
- How are the noodles? - Yes, very tangy.
The noodles, yes, very good. Since you're a pro...lo..
- It's loose? - No, no. He's a pro.
How should I explain it?
I think Chef Oh's dish is better but...
- Chef Jeong's dish is very unique and special. - So you can't decide?
Oh, I see.
But one important fact is that...
Our guest Mr. Kim Jong-min hasn't said 'delicious' not even once.
He keeps exclaiming but...
didn't say delicious.
It's because it's a battle.
At this point, I should be careful about using that word.
Right, that's important.
Both dishes are very delicious.
I don't want to hurt them.
Alright. Now, everyone will taste the food.
- Anybody who doesn't have this ramen? - Nope.
Wait, here.
Soo-won's bowl is empty.
It's empty. He's got none.
(Everyone must've thought he was a robot)
He's our guest and we forgot about him.
Are you okay? You were shocked, huh?
I was very shocked.
Okay first, we'll try Chef Oh's 'Oh Chicken Mania Noodles'.
Lots of squid.
If you eat it with the seaweed, it's really good.
- Ehmm.... - (Nodding)
This is really good.
It's very good.
- The soup is amazing. - Yes.
This salty taste, it's really good. With the squid.
Should we try the other one right after?
Before the noodles get all loose?
This time, 'Seafood Soup's Innocence'.
We'll try that.
Very well cooked.
It has whelk.
- Tastes like pizza. - Hmm, spicy.
It's actually more spicy than I thought. The end taste...
- Yes. - Chef Oh's dish tastes like how I expected it to taste like.
On the other hand, Chef Jeong's dish is very unique. First, it tastes very soft.
At the end, though, you can taste the pepper. So it's a very good combination.
I can't stop myself from trying more of this dish.
Yes, Chef Jeong's 'Seafood Soup's Innocence'.
It has this familiar taste.
Tastes like squid white radish soup.
Yes, right.
I was actually more excited about this dish.
When you smell it, it smells like pizza. But the actual taste is a total surprise.
It's very aromatic. But the end taste is very spicy.
It's one dish but has lots of different tastes.
- Right. - Both of them are really delicious.
I really liked both of them too.
- You really liked them? - Yes, this is perfect for your hangover soup in the morning.
Chef Oh's dish, it's perfect when you're actually drinking.
To eat it while you're drinking.
Now, you must choose one.
- It's hard? - It's so hard because..
I can't really say that one dish is really like..really good...
So they're both just mediocre?
(No, that's not what I meant.)
(Both of them somehow lost)
(No...I mean..)
Nothing really stands out?
(In simple words, both of them were too good)
I don't think one was outstandingly better than another.
- They taste very different. - So they're both good?
Yes, so it depends on the standard I'll use.
If I ask myself, which one am I going to make tomorrow?
Oh, so that will be your standard?
I don't know if I should use that or...
Which one is more unique and special?
I see.
You thought both of them were mediocre. But you're having this much dilemma?
No, it's because both of them are really good.
Both of them really don't like...stand out...
(Somehow lost twice.)
Stop hurting their feelings! Why do you keep saying that?
He thinks nothing really stands out, huh?
Which one are you going to make for your girlfriend?
(Good idea)
Good tip.
Number 1 Jeong Ho-young. Number 2 Oh Se-deuk.
He's looking at them...he pressed it.
Oh, this is driving me crazy.
Oh no.
I'm really curious.
Will Chef Oh get his 10th victory?
Or will Chef Jeong get his fifth victory?
Who did Kim Jong-min, the ramen maniac, choose?
(Chef Jeong Ho-young - Winner)
(Seafood Soup's Innocence - Winner)
He chose Chef Jeong Ho-young's dish!
It wasn't that delicious. It didn't stand out that much. Didn't have many ingredients.
But he still thought Chef Jeong's dish was better.
I chose him because this was the one I wanted to make for my girlfriend.
In fact, I was gonna choose Chef Oh's dish. I really like this traditional taste.
But if I were to make it for my girlfriend,
eating it with the seaweed, it could be a bit messy.
So he chose more innovative and unique one.
- The title was innovative. - (Actually, it wasn't...it was Mr. Ramen King.)
Alright.
I should have made it more delicious.
- But I was too hurt. (Received more pain than honor)
Even though he won, he got the star badge, he doesn't feel that happy.
His fifth victory, Chef Jeong Ho-young!
Congratulations!
Mr. Ramen King!

(Chef Jeong's 'Seafood Soup's Innocence' Full Recipe)
Okay, the next battle is to make snack or an appetizer
that could go well with beer.
It's been 6 months since their last competition.
Chef Lee Yeon-bok against Chef Kim Poong.
So your task is to make something that goes well with beer.
According to our history, Chef Kim Poong have always won when the battle involved
alcoholic beverages.
He always won.
So what do you think, Chef Lee? As his teacher? Has he improved?
Yes, compared to the past, he has improved so much.
He's now a threat to all of us.
When you were giving him your knife, he was like a little chick.
But now, his skills have improved quite a lot.
Now that I'm standing next to my teacher..
I can't really act arrogantly even though that's how I normally act. I'm very nervous.
I wonder if I can really show everything I can do.
(Kim Jong-min's Fridge)
(Kim Poong's Choice: noodles, pak choi, canned ham, bacon)
(Lee Yeon-bok's Choice: noodles, asparagus, canned ham, squid, mango, cherry)
Today, I'm going to make, 'Poong's Spicy Rolled Noodles'
Poong's Spicy Rolled Noodles.
So kinda like spicy rice cake?
There is an easy way to make spicy rice cake.
Since you said that you like noodles,
I will fry the noodles.
And the sauce will be like Chinese style sauce.
I will wrap the noodles around the ham.
Then I'll fry them.
I'm not sure if I can finish everything in time,
- He can't? - If I can't, then it will just be Poong Spicy Rice Cake.
(Fisherman Poong uses two baits)
If I can do it, then it will be Poong's Spicy Rolled Noodles.
(Bite Poong's bait!)
(Today's Pancake)
Oh, Today's fried pancake.
Pancake that you want to keep eating today and tomorrow.
How do you like pancakes with your beer?
Wow, pancakes and beer? Isn't it...a bit weird?
I'd understand if you're drinking rice wine but..
Well, chefs are supposed to challenge the guests' taste preferences.
- (Stole the statement that Chef Choi always uses) - I did well, right?
It's like Chef Choi's Arrogance Virus is spreading.
When he said that he has weak kidneys,
I got all the ingredients that are good for him.
Cherry and mango. I heard that chicken is not so good.
So I left it out even though I originally was going to use it.
Instead I'll use pork - so ham and mushrooms.
So Chef Lee chose ingredients that are good for a person who has weak kidneys.
Okay, the battle will start now.
The first chef who achieved 20th victory.
He's an appetite hunter.
Teacher - Chef Lee Yeon-bok against
his student, who frankly copies his teacher's techniques -
Kim Poong, the Copy machine.
Will Kim Poong be able to win against the original?
Let's start this cooking battle!
15 minute cooking battle!
A battle between a teacher and his student.
(1. Mix flour, starch, egg and water to make the dough.)
So Chef Lee just put in the egg?
- Yes, for the dough. - Right.
I heard that flour is good for people who have weak kidneys.
Flour?
- It's $14. - Very expensive.
He brought all the cherries.
For his kidney.
Yes, in my opinion, I think I have weak kidneys.
But all these fruits for a fried pancake?
I'm not sure. I don't know what he's gonna do.
Let's keep watching. He's first making the dough.
(1. Chop onions and the white part of the green onions.)
(2. Slice bacon, stir fry them.)
This is the secret behind making the spicy rice cake. It's bacon.
Oh, bacon.
If you use bacon, you won't fail.
But you have to use this leftover oil from the bacon, too.
Oh, dried noodle.
(Making people laugh during his cooking)
(3. Boil the dried noodle.)
A chef who is afraid of fire. That's Kim Poong.
It's like a soccer player who's afraid of the soccer ball.
Chef Kim Poong still has a lot to overcome.
- Oh, what is that? - Is that squid?
Yes, it's dried squid.
- Oh, dried squid! - (2. Put the sliced squid in the dough.)
Yes, right.
(3. Chop the green onions. Add them to the dough.)
Oh, so he's going to use ham for the pancake?
(4. Chop the canned ham, add to the dough.)
(5. Chop the asparagus, add to the dough.)
(Mix the dough well)
(And straight to the pan)
Oh, so he's cooking the pancake.
(6. Put some cooking oil on the pan and fry it.)
And then add 1 spoon of red pepper paste.
In fact, stir fry the pepper paste with the oil first.
(5. Add red pepper taste and soy sauce. Stir.)
Red pepper paste and bacon? It looks spicy and salty.
For rice cake? It's fine.
(6. Add the onions, green onions and water. Boil the mixture.)
- I want to know what it tastes like. - Oh, what is that?
Oh, starch syrup. To make it a bit sticky.
(8. Add sugar.)
He doesn't even bother measuring it.
- What is that? - Sugar.
- He's trusting his intuition. - If it's too sweet, then I can just add water!
Too salty? Then again, add water!
(Poong thinks water can solve everything.)
Jong-min, what do you usually eat when you drink beer?
Almonds or other nuts.
What about spicy rice cake?
I usually don't...eat...spicy rice cake.
Because it's so spicy. If you drink beer with it, I feel like I'm going to swell up.
(9. Wash the cooked noodles.)
He already took the noodles out?
There're still 9 minutes left. Isn't it too early?
(He takes out the noodles)
- Oh, he's frying them now! - It's the technique Chef Oh Se-deuk used.
Oh, so you fry the noodles like that?
He's the copy machine. He copied Chef Oh.
Copy means you get the exact same result.
- I call it plagiarism. (10. Spread the noodles flat. Fry them.)
(7. Shred the noodles. Fry them.)
Chef Lee is also frying the noodles.
Oh, he's frying them too?
(8. Get rid of the oil from the fried noodles.)
(This fried noodle makes us very curious and excited)
He's now preparing the mangos.
Yes, Chef Lee is going to use mangos to make his pancake.
Is he going to grind them?
Oh, he's going to use it for the sauce.
He needs a sauce to make a pancake?
Now, he's gonna add the cherries.
Yes, all these fruits are good for those who have weak kidneys.
(11. Grind the mangos and the cherries with the hand blender.)
(12. Add mayo and lemon juice to make the fruit sauce.)
(10. Slice the canned ham.)
Now, you roll the noodles.
Oh, he's like banding them together.
You roll it like this.
It'll come undone when you drop it in the oil.
That's why you add the starch.
Oh, very smart!
With the starch, they will stay together.
It's going in!
(Will it still hold?)
- Will it be okay? - It's still together.
Oh, that's good. He's fine.
This is the technique I used before.
- Oh again, he plagiarized Mihal. - Oh, is that right?
So he's like the copy machine.
But it's like he's mixing a lot of songs, not just one song.
So you can't really tell, huh?
As if I could pull that off!
He's using the techniques that Chef Oh Se-deuk and Mihal used.
Not a lot of time left, now.
The spicy rice cake looks very good. Can I taste the soup part?
Okay, I'll try Chef Poong's dish.
How does it taste?
- It's too sweet. I think you put too much sugar in.
(Appearance of fried noodles)
Oh, what is this?
Chef Kim Poong is getting it together!
- It actually looks quite good. - (Flipping the pancake)
Oh, he's adding a big chunk of butter in it.
I've never seen him do that before.
- He's adding a lot of butter. - He really wants to win against his student.
Butter will make it crispy.
(Skillfully flipping the pancake)
It looks so good.
(12. Add pak choi to the sauce.)
The flour from your hand are dripping.
Oh, really? He's so messy.
Look how dirty his apron is.
(To Kim Poong, hygiene doesn't really matter.)
On the other hand, Chef Lee Yeon-bok is so neat and clean.
He's spending a lot of time on the pancake.
He's flipping it multiple times.
The noodles, they're gonna burn.
It's not burnt? Is it okay?
It's okay. It's low heat.
Only 1 min 45 secs left.
The gas on the back side, it's out.
- Oh, the teacher flips it for him. - (The teacher's generous helping hand)
He flipped it for him. He's like 'it's getting burned, you idiot!'
Oh, the teacher, even when he was working on his own dish.
(13. Add starch water to get the right density.)
(He takes out the pancake.)
Isn't it hot?
So hot! So hot!
Oh, goodness. Oh, he's getting rid of the oil.
(14. Get rid of the excess oil from the pancake and put it on a plate)
(Chef Lee's pancake is finally done)
(14. Slice the pancake. Put them on the dish.)
Only about 10 seconds left!
(15. Add the rolled fried ball on the pancake.)
- Four, three, two... - (And add the sauce on the top.)
(15. Put the fruit sauce over the pancake. Add the fried noodles.)
Two, one!
Chef Lee is done!
(Kim Poong's Poong's Spicy Rolled Noodles Complete)
Let him clean up a little.
He can't show it to the guest like this.
Is that a fish stew?
(A dramatic cooking battle between teacher and student comes to a close)
(An unusual combination of the pancake and the fruit sauce)
(Chef Lee Yeon-bok's 'Today's Pancake')
- Can I try it? - Yes, go ahead.
Look at the sauce. I'll dip it in.
(Yum)
(How does it taste?)
How is it?
Wow.
It's so delicious.
It's so delicious?
It's so good. It gave me goosebumps.
- Really. Right here. - Because it's sour?
(Huh?)
Because it's sour?
(Cracks up)
(A robot that can read the human mind)
Oh, he put the margarine.
Not margarine. Butter.
It's a fantastic combination of sour and butter.
- I thought a pancake wouldn't go well with a fruit sauce. - Me, too.
I can't believe it either.
I feel like this combination shouldn’t work.
Actually, a pancake may taste too oily.
Right but the fruit sauce balances it out.
- Perfectly. - Do you think it will go well with beer?
Yes, perfect with beer.
Didn't know something like this could be made with the ingredients from my fridge.
(Fried noodles with spicy rice cake sauce)
(Poong's Spicy Rolled Noodles)
This time, Chef Poong's dish.
He's walking over here with his knife.
Why is he bringing his knife? Why?
- Is he going to threaten the guest? - No, to cut it for him.
Oh, he'll cult it for the guest himself.
Oh, right. He had that fried noodles on the bottom.
Yes, I fried them. This is the Chef's special service.
(Chef Poong's knife service)
Okay, he'll taste it now. Poong's Spicy Rolled Noodles.
Oh, the smell.
(One mouthful)
That crispy sound. Sounds good.
The sound you make when you're eating fried ramen.
Wow.
(Poong's magic again?)
I thought it wasn't gonna be that good.
But it's good.
Chef Poong does that.
- Does it taste good? - Yes.
(Now, the ham and fried noodle ball)
He's trying the fried noodle ball. And the ham is in the middle.
- Right? - Yes, the ham's inside.
- Is it okay? - Yes.
When I saw him cooking, it looked like he was making mistakes.
So I thought I was gonna choose Chef Lee's dish without any dilemma.
- Is it spicy? - No, it's not spicy.
- It looks like it's spicy. - Yes, but it's not spicy at all.
Wow, this is very surprising.
And I really like bacon.
So, he's trying it with the bacon.
It looks really good.
- Do you want some beer? - Yes, beer.
(Waiter Ann on the move)
- (Excited drinker Mihal) - The one on the door.
The one on the door.
The door.
Now with the beer.
We'll pour out the beer for you.
Oh, this is black beer.
Wow.
It's not coke.
He looks so happy.
Enjoy.
He has to choose the dish that goes well with beer.
So one sip of beer. And now one spoon of the dish.
How is it? Good?
Is it perfect?
- It's fantastic. (He drinks another sip of beer)
Perfect with beer.
Now with Chef Poong's dish.
- Oh, this is good, too. - He likes that too.
Usually, something like Poong's dish is served with alcoholic beverages.
Yes, it's very popular and common.
Everyone would like it. Even the kids.
So Chef Lee's dish is not so popular?
I feel like this is going to be a very expeeeensive menu.
(Expeeensive)
Not just expensive. But expeeensive.
Yes, it looks like an exotic food. Looks expeeensive.
- I've decided. - Already?
This time, you decided very easily.
- You were able to decide now that you've tried them with beer? - Yes.
Okay, before you press the button, everyone will try some.
First, Chef Lee's 'Today's Pancake'.
So the sauce is that good?
A mixture of mango and cherry.
In one bite...
Right, right, right?
Wow, a pancake actually goes well with fruit sauce!
We usually think of soy sauce when you say pancakes.
But fruit sauce is just perfect, too.
And every time I chew, I can feel the crispiness.
- The fried noodles.- The texture is very interesting.
It kind of tastes like Japanese okonomiyaki with mayo dressing.
But because this one has the fruit taste, it doesn't feel too oily.
This time, we'll try Poong's Spicy Rolled Noodles.
I'm very curious about this one.
I hear the crispy sound.
You should be a chef.
It's like spicy rice cake skewer.
Yes. Like the one you can buy in front of your school.
But instead of the rice cake, he replaced it with the fried noodles.
That made it very unique and interesting.
I thought he was just an amateur.
You could be paid to teach people how to make this.
- You can so sell this. - Right?
It's very good. Do you have more?
With this, you can drink like...
10,000 cc of beer.
Wow...this...
Which dish will Jong-min choose?
Is it harder than the last time?
But again, this is a different option.
I thought I was going to choose this but what I thought is not that.
(What are you trying to say?)
So you thought it was going to be this one, but then...
- after you tasted it, you realized it won't be. - Yes.
Why did you have to make it sound so complicated?
- I'm the most confused. - (Koreans can't really understand him...)
- I couldn't understand. - It's confusing, huh? - It's fine, though.
Go ahead and press the button.
Number 1 Chef Kim Poong. Number 2 Chef Lee Yeon-bok.
Please press the button now.
(Which one will Jong-min choose?)
Ohh...
- What number was it? - Number 1 is Chef Kim Poong.
- I pressed it. - Alright.
Was there a big difference?
Not really a difference. But I meant to choose this one dish but...
(Please stop now...)
I thought if I could make this at home
then I would eat it a lot but the other one
completely surpassed my anticipation.
This one? This one is this one?
But this one is...
So you chose the one that surpassed it?
Yes.
A battle of teacher and student. To make a dish that goes well with beer!
Who will be the winner? Teacher Lee Yeon-bok or Student Kim Poong?
Please show us Jong-min's decision!
A battle of teacher and student. To make a dish that goes well with beer!
Who will be the winner? Teacher Lee Yeon-bok or Student Kim Poong?
Please show us Jong-min's decision!
(Chef Lee Yeon-bok- Winner)
Chef Lee Yeon-bok!
The teacher won!
- It was incredible. - I see.
We knew your decision already.
You were surprised that we knew, huh?
You thought Chef Poong's dish was going to be better?
Yes, because it was perfect with beer. It really could suit beer better.
But this pancake, whether or not it goes well with beer didn't matter.
Beer was there to supplement the dish.
Oh, it was that good?
Normally, people only think of onions and soy sauce when they eat pancakes.
But we're chefs. We always have to strive for something new.
And it's good for Jong-min's body type.
Chef Lee Yeon-bok's 21st victory. He's on the top.

He doesn’t really react to anything. I heard that sales went down like crazy.
It was my first time making food for a robot.
Robotic reaction.
Are you okay? Weren't you shocked?
