The project to make better use of the ingredients in your fridge.
Best chefs from all over Korea are here to take care of your fridge.
Premium cooking talk show, Take Good Care of the Fridge!
It's nice to see you guys.
Let me introduce the 8 chefs who make lovely dishes for the guests!
The heat wave is here now.
I bet there are a lot of people who have lost their appetite.
If the chefs could tell us what they like to eat in the summer...
Something they enjoy. Oh! Mihal!
- Barbeque. - Barbeque!
Isn't it too hot for barbeques in the summer?
You can go on a rooftop or outside.
He said rooftop. (He enjoys rooftop barbeques like Koreans)
- He recently moved to a rooftop room. - Oh he did?
- He shows off all the time. - Really?
I sleep there.
- On the rooftop? - Yes.
- He's very adapted to Korean life. - He's well adjusted.
Yes.
Kim Poong, I heard you make a lot of shaved ice at home.
- Yes, often. - I heard you call yourself God of Ice.
- Well... - God of Shaved Ice.
It's just a shortened version. I wasn't saying a bad word.
God of Ice as in God of Shaved Ice.
- You make shaved ice at home? - I make them with milk.
I see. God of Ice.
I was most surprised by it when I came to Korea.
And the foreigners still look for shaved ice when they come here.
It's the most interesting food for us.
- They don't have them in Bulgaria? - We don't eat it like that.
- He used to say Bulgaria has everything. - We finally found one today!
- Bulgaria! - It was shaved ice.
That's why I want to sell shaved ice in Bulgaria.
It sounds like a good idea.
When it's summer, the chefs go to
- a udon shop. - Okay.
They make the most delicious cold udon.
(Smiling brightly for some reason) - The one ran by Mr. Jung?
The chef comes out and dances.
- And he has a round belly. - Yes.
I think I've heard of him before.
All right.
(Got a lot better at dancing and acting)
- When you have lost your appetite in the summer, - Right.
- I think it would be good to know a good restaurant. - Yes.
All right. We'll bring out the owners of the fridges now.
They're true foodies who look like they know what to eat 365 days of the year.
Let's find out who they are. Here are today's guests!
(Today's guest's fridge)
(We have packed all of the ingredients from the fridge and moved them to the studio)
(And another fridge)
(Also moved to the studio as it is)
(We introduce to you the owners of these fridges now!)
(A louder cheer than usual) - Here are our today's guests!
(They are finally here!) - Here are our today's guests!
Comedian Kim Joon-hyun and singer John Park!
Welcome!
(A big welcome) - Hello. - Nice to meet you.
Up first, we have someone who can't control himself in front of delicious food.
The man who is obsessed with nangmyun, John Park!
(Famous for being obsessed with nangmyun)
I'm John Park, a guy who loves all types of food but especially cold noodles.
Nice to meet you.
He's finally here.
He rewrote the history of eating shows in Korea.
He says he's been trained in eating shows from an early age.
An elite in the world of eating shows and god of eating shows.
We have Kim Joon-hyun!
(God of food show, comedian Kim Joon-hyun)
I've wanted to come on this program for a very long time.
- I'm very excited today. - Okay.
I'm Kim Joon-hyun, a professional in the food show world.
- Nice to meet you guys. - You're right.
I can't believe I'm on this show with him.
I feel very honored.
I gained weight because of Joon-hyun.
I feel proud when I hear things like that.
Sometimes there are comments like "I failed at my diet because of you."
It makes me so happy!
John, do you actually eat a lot?
I think I do.
I love eating.
When I get hungry in the middle of the night,
I'll have a chicken burger combo and about 4 double cheeseburgers.
Four?
(Amazing)
- In the middle of the night? - It helps me sleep well.
- When you're full. - Right.
If you eat a lot of gluten, your blood sugar level spikes and you get sleepy.
- He's right. - What a perfect diagnosis.
- You get very sleepy. - It's from a professional's perspective.
What did you eat when you were in the States?
I like it simple.
So in hamburgers, I just like to have the patty, cheese, and some grilled onions.
- And... - It's very American.
- Yes. - And I only like the tomato sauce and cheese on my pizza.
I only like tasting the ingredients.
- He prefers the traditional style. - Yes.
Since we have big foodies here with us,
we'll have a 100 minute debate for a foodie special.
- A 100 minute debate. - Yes, about food.
I really like stuff like this. I love having serious conversations about food.
If I try it at other places, they scold at me for talking about food.
- But we're supposed to talk about food here. - That's right.
I love it.
The topic is, "What is one thing you'll eat before you die?"
- We'll hold a 100 minute debate about this. - Oh...
You're about to die tomorrow.
But you're only able to eat one thing. What would you eat?
We'll have an intensive debate about it.
First debater, Joon-hyun, you're up.
I've thought about this before.
Oh, you have? For real?
What amazing last meal should I have?
I bet the people will be watching.
(The foodies all over the world will be paying attention!)
- So I've thought about it. - Okay.
- It's pork ribs. - Pork ribs.
When I had it for the first time...
I ate it for the first time when I was a kid.
And I was in awe that such food existed.
There were fireworks going off and bells ringing.
It was so good.
Since then, pork ribs have always tasted just as good.
- Cooking it by myself with a good quality charcoal. - Right.
(Well cooked pork ribs in my last moment)
And eat it like that.
I want to just lay down right there and sleep forever.
I don't want to go anywhere and just hold a funeral right there at the restaurant.
Something like that. Having the best meal in my last moment.
- With pork ribs. - Pork ribs.
That's right. You can't forget the food that left a big first impression on you.
Of course.
And you, John?
For me, it's nangmyun.
Oh, nangmyun.
I was shocked when I had nangmyun for the first time.
I didn't understand how this simple taste could be so delicious.
It's charming.
- It's the day before I die. - Right.
I think I'll be happy if I just have a bowl of nangmyun with a bottle of soju.
- I had nangmyun yesterday afternoon. - Okay.
When the server starts cutting the noodles as he's asking if I'd like it...
They're already cut.
They might assume that you'd like them cut.
But when you eat the noodles, you're supposed to drink the soup
when the noodles are still in the soup.
Before the noodles leave the bowl. And while you're drinking the soup,
you have to eat more noodles.
- It's so good when they enter your mouth together. - You're right.
When you have strings of noodles hanging from your mouth,
it's so good when you slurp those in.
- I see. - That's my style.
I see.
When it comes to me,
I put in the mustard first. I don't put in vinegar
because it can get rid of the deep taste.
And I dip warm pork meat in picked shrimps
and eat it wrapped in noodles.
- In the case of my family, - Yes?
my grandfather came from Pyung-yang.
I'll tell you the correct way to eat Pyung-yang nangmyun.
Okay.
You hold up some noodles and pour a little bit of vinegar on them.
And put a little bit of mustard just on the noodles.
You put that in your mouth. When the strong taste hits you,
you drink the soup with it.
It gets neutralized in your mouth-
The vinegar is an insult to Pyung-yang nangmyun.
- You have to put in the vinegar. - Are the two acting out a skit?
The debate is getting too heated.
Please restrain yourselves.
- This is the traditional way! - What do you know about Pyung-yang?
My grandfather is from Pyung-yang!
Can't we move them to a different room today?
Please turn off both of their mics.
I heard that too. I don't add mustard or vinegar in mine.
I like the soup itself.
- The way it is. - He prefers pure tastes.
John, I heard you do a strange dance when you eat something good.
- I did it on a show. - Okay.
After eating a bowl of nangmyun, I said, "I'm so happy after eating that."
- That's what it was. - No wonder.
- How cute. - Yes.
What I'm afraid of is that when I sing ballads,
people might think the ballads are about nangmyun.
If you sing your new song for us, we'll see if that's the case or not.
I thought of the dance right away!
You should chance the first word of the verse. It goes straight to the dance.
(It's actually a very sentimental ballad song)
I'm so happy that I got to come on this show because
- I'll get to taste the dishes prepared by all of the 8 chefs. - Right.
I can't believe it. I'm so happy.
- Then out of these 8 chefs, - Okay.
who do you want to cook with your fridge for sure? If you could just pick one.
Just one.
- Kim Poong is staring at me so... - Don't stare at him so intently.
But to be honest, I'm most curious about Kim Poong.
-You're curious? - He's the one I'm most curious about.
- But he's not a must, right? - No.
(Hurt)
- He's not a must for you. - Right.
Okay. - I want to eat Chef Lee Yeon-bok's food.
- You want Chef Lee Yeon-bok on your team. - Yes.
All right, we'll look into John's fridge first.
My fridge is attached to the wall so...
Do you live by yourself?
Yes, I do.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
Okay...
We'll find out everything once we look.
I think this is fun. When you find something from a single guy's fridge...
It's funny.
Here is John's fridge!
(What will food lover, John Park's fridge look like?)
Here is John Park's fridge!
(What will food lover, John Park's fridge look like?)
(A single man's neatly organized fridge)
- It really looks like a single man's fridge. - Yes.
- This how they all usually look. - Right.
- They wouldn't be packed full. - Right.
Wow, all single guys have this big container.
Right, they must have a container for kimchi.
I bought kimchi from home-shopping once, but I ordered too much.
It's very old so it's probably very sour.
It really must be old.
- The smell is strong. - If you're going to open it, make it quick.
- Wait. - Why?
I was wondering what this was. There's a glove in here.
It's his glove.
- It also turned orange. - That's amazing. Wow.
It's very sour.
- It could happen to a single guy. - Right.
There's no mold or anything. It's in good condition.
- That's good. - Yes.
- Wow, this must be ginger. - Yes.
- You have ginger at home? - But...
- It's probably very old. - You make good use out of these plastic gloves.
There's one in here too.
- I thought there was a hand in there! - Seriously.
- It's because I'm wearing it. - Oh, on your hand.
- So you just take it off and save it as it is. - Yes, I think so.
- I see. - Since you can put it in if you take off the glove inside out.
Your mother must have given you this. Soup!
Yes, it's beef bone soup.
Beef bone soup!
- Shouldn't you put it in the freezer? - Since it's bone soup,
if can spoil easily.
- Oh, you should keep it in the freezer. - I see.
- And we see some ham here. - Yes, I ate some of it.
You ate a lot.
- This is bacon. - Bacon.
This one is almost near its expiration date too.
Put your kimchi and bacon in your beef bone soup and eat it.
(Ha ha)
Bacon in beef bone soup?
It's okay. It's like pork belly. It's nice.
- That sounds good. - It's good.
We'll go to the second bin. In here, we have soybean paste.
Did you make something with this?
Soybean paste stew.
You know how to make that?
I look up recipes for Korean food online or in the books and make them.
You look at books too?
Yes. I brought some of them.
You have couple of books.
- They were mostly presents. - I see.
- I can tell you're interested in cooking. - That's right.
For my friends or for my ex girlfriend from a long time ago,
A girlfriend.
I'd cook things like steak for them.
I'm confident about my grilling skills.
That means your girlfriend has been to your house before.
- Long time ago. - Long time ago.
Then you must go over to your girlfriend's house these days.
I don't have a girlfriend!
(He got caught!)
Your laugh sounds a lot different.
It sounded like he was laughing to buy some time.
(Genuine laughter)
(Awkward laughter)
He just got caught and laughed.
(Amazed)
You guys are like detectives.
Our show is amazing.
Wait till we see some steak!
We won't be able to cover for you.
Just wait until we see some meat.
We see here some salmon.
Oh! Salmon steak!
- That's salmon steak. - It is?
Steak!
So it was salmon!
We got you!
I don't think he ever said it was beef steak earlier.
He didn't.
He just said steak.
How can two people share that? It only serves one person.
I cook salmon for myself.
Like how?
Inside a foil, I just put in some olive oil, salt, lemon slices, capers,
and rosemary like en papillote.
You know what en papillote is?
A technical term just came out.
- John is a chef. - Papi.. what?
It's called papillote.
You use a sheet or foil to wrap the food and
steam the food using the moisture captured inside.
When you take out the wrapped food out of the oven
and unwrap it in front of a girl...
(Salmon en papillote that brings about love)
(Flustered)
(This is so fun)
I don't have one. I unwrapped it by myself.
- Oh really? - Yes.
The chicken breast looks like it's for steak too.
There are times when I grill the chicken breast or use a similar method as before
to steam it.
- I guess your girlfriend is on a diet these days. - Yes.
(Oh wait!)
We got him!
Good work everyone!
- I didn't hear that part. - He can't help but answer.
You wrote it down, right? You got the confession?
- I'm the one who's on a diet. - Oh really...
- This one is supposed to be just grilled, right? - Yes.
One should be chuck tail flap and the other should be rib eye.
Wow, mozzarella cheese.
- Oh, coriander! - Coriander.
Did you do this yourself?
Yes.
Oh really?
It's hard to believe a man would do this. You really did this?
-Yes I did. - Not your mother?
My mom rarely comes.
Of course. She can't run into her.
I see I see. You must be free to do whatever.
(Wow.. So tired)
John says he's tired.
(He's tired by the rigid investigation)
We're tired of asking questions too. Let's just tell the truth and go.
Just tell them you have a girlfriend.
(But I don't have one..)
Jung-hwan. I glanced over and it looked like a police station or something.
I thought a criminal was being investigated.
(A stubborn suspect?)
Write your name and the affidavit and get this over with.
I've dealt with a lot of you.
(Hilarious)
Who, what, when, where, how?
You sound like an expert.
Wait but hold on. On the bottom
there are so many lemons.
I did the lemon detox recently. That's why there's a lot of them.
Lime and cilantro are for when I make guacamole.
M-make what?
Gu-guacamole?
Yeah. You make it with avocados.
It's kind of like a dip.
Oh I see. These avocados?
Yes yes.
Can you make the avocados for us right now?
Yes.
Can you do it?
Will it take a long time?
-Really? -I can make it in no time.
He can make it in no time.
Avocados.
You know how to use the knife well.
He cuts better than Kim Poong.
He extracts it too.
And the lime. Lime.
He's rolling it.
You have to roll it to extract the juices well.
He's better than Kim Poong.
I think he's better than Chef Choi.
End of peace? A 2nd war?
I did a cooking show with Kim Poong before.
He used to say that he was the only genuine cook there is.
He used to put me down a lot.
This feels good today. I've been holding some grudge.
Of course.
Make him give up that seat sometime soon.
He's just a beginner.
(Wimpering)
(Guacamole is almost done)
Taste it taste it.
He's adding more lime.
Avocado's mild taste is preserved if you add the lime last to test the acidity.
He's just as good as an expert.
And lastly,
Wh-what is he sprinkling?
Wow.
Cayenne pepper.
I put this in earlier too.
It's finished.
(John Park's guacamole!)
Let us try it.
(How will it taste like?)
This looks special.
(Chefs carefully get a taste)
I can get hooked to this.
I think I might crave this sometimes for no reason.
He just made something that's restaurant quality.
You're right.
I wish he'd come often.
Don't you have business trips to go to?
Do you want to just see us on TV?
(They get along really well..)
(Immature chef and a beginner)
Doesn't it feel good that the chefs are saying it's good?
Ninanino ninanino.
(I feel good!)
Alright. Let's check out the freezer.
Aren't these chicken breasts?
- Yeah. They're- - They're all chicken breasts right?
- Yes. - It's Kyung-hwan's brand.
Right.
Oh they are?
Did he give them to you? Or did you buy them?
I bought them.
He gives them to you if you ask.
I heard he has a lot of left-overs.
I'll talk to him.
I'll put in the order.
Food in storage. We found avocados before.
There are noodles.
Buckwheat noodles.
I cook them and dip it in tsuyu sauce.
(Impressive)
Alright.
That was John Park's fridge.
(Worn out)
He looks so tired.
Let him go home now.
(Blanked out)
We have enough.
What kind of dish does John want?
John's ideal meal.
Please show us.
John's ideal meal.
Nangmyun in the mirror.
And Super Star K calorie bomb.
I absolutely love noodles.
And I love nangmyun the most.
Noodles that are chewy and that have good texture.
What about the Super Star K calorie bomb?
I wasn't able to gorge on food for a while
because I was losing weight.
Right.
So just for today I'd like a monster dish that's massive in amount and in calories.
-For once. -Yes.
Today's the day.
Right.
Introducing the chefs
that will fill John's empty stomach.
In seed 1, Chef Lee Yeon-bok with 21 wins.
Chef Lee ends up in John Park's team.
In seed 2, Chef Kim Kim Poong with 15 wins.
(Hello friend)
(Excited)
I'm expecting so much.
In seed 3, Chef Lee Won-il with 14 wins.
Lastly in seed 4, Chef Oh Se-deuk with 9 wins.
The 4 chefs.
Do you like them?
I love them.
I'll have to go with the flour side, nangmyun.
We'll get a delicious dish.
I guess you need some stars now don't you.
I'd normally choose the super calorie side
but today.. I actually really love nangmyun too and
I only eat noodles in the summer.
Are you serious?
I'll go to Nangmyun in the mirror today.
Wow.
Teacher student match for nangmyun.
Chef Lee and Chef Oh will be placed automatically.
I can make food with a little bit of higher calories but
I don't know how to make food with a massive amount of calories.
Why not? It's so easy.
I don't understand.
Alright. Chef Lee and Kim Poong's Nangmyun in the mirror.
We'll begin the competition.
It's a match between a teacher and a student.
It'd be like hitting a rock with an egg.
Yes.
Chef Lee wins every time with noodle dishes.
Jjambbong, stir fry noodles, cabbage carbonara, and "world's best noodles".
He's the best at noodles dishes.
As a teacher, you sometimes want to show them how it's done.
You have to change your ways.
If Kim Poong changes his ways this program will be no fun.
I enjoy watching him.
For the sake of the program.
If it wasn't for the program you would crushed him?
Yes.
Having one person impudent is okay?
(Choosing ingredients)
(Instant beef broth)
(Buckwheat noodles)
Kim Poong isn't taking much.
Are you going to just boil the noodles?
Just putting it in boiling water?
(Kim Kim Poong: buckwheat noodles, pear, instant beef bone soup, eggs)
(Chef Lee: lemon, peanut butter, romaine lettuce, pear, tsuyu sauce, eggs, chicken breast)
The dish I'll make for you today is called
Kim Poong Yang Nangmyun.
Kim Poong Yang Nangmyun
Not Pyung-yang nangmyun but Kim Poong Yang.
My family has a secret recipe.
My grandpa's from Pyung-yang.
Your grandfather?
We'll reveal the secret through this show.
John is quite the Pyung-yang Nangmyun expert.
Of course.
Open your heart
and regard it as Pyung-yang nangmyun it could be.
That's how it'll taste.
He has a lot to say before he starts cooking.
He makes a lot of excuses just in case.
The dish I'll make for you today is a
Chinese-style Nangmyun.
Chinese-style nangmyun.
What do you mean Chinese-style nangmyun?
I'll try to imitate a Chinese-style nangmyun.
Chinese-style nangmyun has a nutty taste.
It'll be nutty and cool.
After you eat this, you'll be able to beat the summer.
A Chinese-style nangmyun made by Chef Lee.
Will you be making the noodles from scratch?
Yes I will make the noodles from scratch.
You're not making the noodles. Right Kim Poong?
I can't.
You can't.
- Sorry. It's not that you're not, you just can't. - He's very honest.
We'll begin the competition now.
The student Kim Poong who practices and practices to dream of beating his teacher!
The teacher Chef Lee who always lets him challenge him. It's a match.
Will he be able to go beyond his teacher?
We'll begin the cold noodle match now!
(15-minute cooking match starts!)
15-minute cooking match.
A cold noodle match.
- I'm getting nervous watching it live. - Me too.
They're making it from scratch here.
He's pouring a lot of vinegar.
(Put vinegar, egg, and salt into boiling water)
He put vinegar and salt to boil an egg.
This is the only part that Kim Poong will work the hardest on.
Egg. The egg is it?
He'll probably mix some powder in water for the rest and be done.
-Chef Lee. -Yes yes.
How are you supposed to make the Pyung-yang nangmyun broth?
Usually in a beef or a pork broth, pheasant or chicken is added to make the broth.
But looking at what he's using I'm expecting a beef bone soup.
Just as you said
He's using the instant beef bone soup.
If he's just boiling the beef bone soup and putting the cooked noodles in,
isn't it just the beef bone noodle soup?
(When will he use the family secret?)
What are you saying you're going to do?
He said to open his heart before he began cooking. I think he'll have to open it real wide.
I think you'll have to open all of your heart.
(Chef Lee begins by cutting the vegetables)
(Slice the carrots and onions)
(Beat the egg and add a pinch of salt)
(Pour the egg into the pan, season, and make the ji-dan)
(John stands up to see the cutting skill)
(Slice the ji-dan, and cut the romain lettuce)
Chef Lee is using the only pear there was.
Pear is a must on top of nangmyun.
(Peel the pear and slice it)
(Impressed)
It's cool no matter how many times you see him do that.
Chef Lee always organizes the ingredients first.
(Slice the onions and put them in the beef bone soup to boil)
Kim Poong said that he had a family secret, I'm very curious as to what that is.
His grandfather is from Pyung-yang.
Huh?
What is that?
What is it?
What?
Wait a minute.
(Brown powder in the Roth..)
What? What did he put in there?
What- His grandfather must have given it to him.
We're not allowed to see it.
It's a magical powder.
One more one more.
It's right. That's what that generation's food tastes like.
The MSG that runs down his family.
What's this?
Sugar.
But it's Pyung-yang. It's Pyung-yang.
Just a little bit.
Vinegar too? But it's Pyung-yang!
Either way it's Kim Poong Yang, not Pyung-yang.
We can't confuse them.
It's Kim Poong Yang.
(He tastes the Kim Poong Yang nangmyun broth..)
(Is it that touching?)
What happened to the broth?
The broth is making him cough.
What's wrong? Too much vinegar?
There couldn't have been too much.
Kim Poong where are you going?
Ingredients!
I think he left something!
The fridge! The fridge!
The meat, the meat.
He's using the meat.
What kind of meat was that?
Chuck tail flap.
Kim Poong is very strategic.
Is he?
It's because he has no recipe today.
He did that on purpose to get his time on TV.
Oh he didn't have to put the meat in.
Meat is a must on noodles.
He's cutting them very thinly.
He's cutting them thin.
(Cut the meat thin and cook them in the broth)
He's taking the meat out now.
Kim Poong is using the ready-to-use noodles.
(Cook the noodles in boiling water)
(On the other hand, Chef Lee begins making the noodles!)
(Knead the flour, salt, and water together)
He said he would make his noodles from scratch. He's making them now.
He kneaded the dough himself.
He just kneaded that. Wow.
Yes yes.
He's making the noodles out of the dough he just made. This is a very important step.
(Using the rolling pin to roll then fold, roll then fold. Repeat!)
Chef Lee is making paper.
It's so thin now.
(Cannot keep his mouth closed)
He's not using a machine.
He's making it himself by hand.
Thinly.
You guys are watching one person using ready-to-use noodles and another making his own.
Ready-to-use noodles are great too.
Many scientists put their head together to make this.
Scientists?
Of course.
He's cooking them right away. Right after he cut them, he's cooking them.
Chef Lee looks like he's crushing the ice.
(Put the ice into the mixer and crush them)
(Beginning to make the cold nangmyun broth!)
(Make the nangmyun broth by mixing the crushed ice, water, tsuyu sauce, and lemon)
5 minutes left.
I'll try going out there.
I'll go out to the scene. Poong Yang Nangmyun and Chinese-style nangmyun.
First, it looks like this is going to be the broth.
Tasting the broth.
The broth.
How is it?
This is.. in Japanese cuisine,
the soba noodle in Japanese food.
Soba soba.
Soba. It tastes like the soba broth.
It must be cool.
Kim Poong.
The broth has some vegetables in it.
-Onions. -Onions.
I guess onions play an important role in this broth.
He keeps pouring water in there.
When will it be done?
Should I taste it for you?
No.
Okay. I'll taste it for you.
Why are you rejecting me?
I'm here to taste it.
Sung-joo. Please taste it for us.
It's just a little bit-. It's weird.
The broth. The broth!
This is his family secret recipe.
Kim Poong accidentally said himself that it was weird.
(Shoot..)
Hey. I think you'll need a lot more water.
It's so salty.
It's going to be mixed with ice anyways so
- It's okay? - It's okay.
But it doesn't taste bad.
Really?
It doesn't taste bad.
We have 3 minutes left.
- Wow time goes by so fast. - It flies right?
(Put the ice into the bowl)
(Cool the cooked meat)
He's sifting the broth.
He's putting it in, he's mixing it with ice water.
Chef Lee is busy silently.
Chef Lee. We don't have that much time.
(Mix peanut butter, hot water, salt, wasabi and make the peanut butter sauce)
(Cool the cooked noodles in ice water)
Wow. Those noodles.
(In awe of the fresh noodles)
(11. Cool the boiled egg in cold water.)
(Get the cooked noodles out)
Can you just peel the eggs for me?
Kim Poong is cooling the cooked noodles in cold water.
Chef Jung Ho-young is peeling the eggs for him.
The eggs don't really look good.
-They're undercooked, I think. -He thinks they're undercooked!
-Shouldn't you cook them more? -They're soft-boiled.
They're soft-boiled. Soft-boiled.
-Was that how you intended it? -Of course.
You like soft-boiled eggs in your nangmyun?
-This must be chicken. -Yes. -Chicken breast.
-It's for garnish. -For garnish.
(He drains the water and begins plating)
He's using the noodles and he's beginning his plating.
He's putting the vegetables he cut in there.
There's the pear and the carrot.
Oh, and he's going to add the broth now.
Here comes the broth.
One minute left. One minute.
One minute left.
There's the mustard. Mustard and peanut butter jam mix.
The Chinese dish is done. The Chinese nangmyun is done. Chef Lee is finished.
(Kim Poong begins plating now)
(Put noodles in nangmyun broth and top it with chuck tail flap)
Isn't that too much? Isn't it? Mr. Kim?
Shouldn't you scoop some out? Is this okay?
(He cuts the egg to use as garnish)
(Egg yolk oozing)
Oh, you said that was supposed to be soft-boiled!
That was supposed to be soft-boiled!
Oh, you're going to put the whole egg...
(14. Add boiled(?) egg.)
(What is that?)
He's going to just put that in there.
Get out of the way!
Just like that?
-15 seconds! -15 seconds!
(He grabs the pear right before time)
Okay, ten! Nine!
Get the cucumber!
Eight! Seven! Six!
(15. Add pear to finish.)
Ow, it's hot! It's hot!
(He finishes by taking out(?) some broth as if it was too much)
Don't put your finger in there!
(Exhausted from laughing)
That was spectacular. Wow.
It's a complete mess. It's a mess over here.
-Up close, it looks like... -Yeah?
Someone just put an egg, pear, and meat in a mixed grain drink.
Just by the look. I don't know how it's gonna taste.
He was in a hurry. He didn't have much time. Yes.
(A cold Chinese nangmyun that will chase the heat away)
(Chef Lee Yeon-bok's Chinese Style Nangmyun)
-You'll see a lump of peanut butter. -Right.
If you like nutty, oily flavor, you can dissolve the whole thing.
He's dissolving the whole thing. He must like it.
-I'll just dissolve half of it. -Okay, because you don't know yet.
-Thank you, Chef. -Sure.
-I'll taste the broth first. -The broth.
(John Park first tries the broth)
(Big smile)
(Excited x 10)
He knows how it's done. With the garnish.
(Next he tries the noodles with the garnish)
That sound...
(Big smiles)
He tried it. And he looks happy.
And the broth again. That's his style.
Noodles, and then the broth.
-I'm dissolving the rest of the peanut butter. -All of it.
-I want to try more of it. -More of the nutty flavor.
-It's peanut butter mixed with mustard. -Oh.
-I didn't know how it'd turn out, so I didn't use too much mustard. -Okay.
His mouth is full.
-Wow. -Is it good?
-I have never tasted something like this. -Okay.
I think I'm going to have Chinese nangmyun for the rest of this summer.
-You've had a lot of nangmyun, and you've never tasted this? -No.
-First of all, the peanut butter mustard... -Yes?
-It's nice and nutty, and the mustard complements the oily taste. -Okay.
-The noodles are really good. Maybe because he made them himself. -Yes.
They're thin, but still they're chewy and
there's a good balance with the crisp vegetables.
All right.
It's so good. I could eat two more bowls.
All right.
Mine's getting more and more watery...
(The ice is melting away)
All right.
He's devouring it.
He's finishing a whole bowl of noodles.
(A very simple Pyung-yang Nangmyun with beef bone soup)
(Kim Poong's Poong Yang Nangmyun)
We couldn't cut the egg and pear because we were running out of time.
I'll put the egg over here...
I put it in whole because I didn't want it to mix with the broth.
-Because the egg yolk might mix with it. -Right.
-I was trying to prevent that. -Let's cut it open.
Did you cut it open?
-Yes. The egg white isn't cooked either. -The egg white isn't cooked?
It's rare.
That's amazing.
He put a poached egg in nangmyun.
That's the Korean way.
-I'll try the broth first. -Okay, the broth.
The broth. He's going to taste the broth first.
There's too much broth...
(One sip of the broth, and then another sip?)
It must be good.
Is the broth all right?
(He looks at Poong with a smile)
Is the broth funny?
(He starts laughing like a crazy person)
It must taste funny.
I'm curious.
I mean... It's nangmyun broth.
-It tastes like nangmyun broth. -It tastes like it?
You weren't laughing because it tasted funny?
-I wasn't expecting it. -You weren't expecting it.
He used beef bone soup, MSG, sugar, and vinegar.
And there's kinds of Pyung-yang nangmyun that's sour or sweet.
-And this tastes like that. -Oh, it does?
-This is incredible. -Wow. He made nangmyun broth with beef bone soup.
-Sometimes it looks bad but it tastes good. -Yeah.
Pyung-yang nangmyun noodles are easily cut.
Does it go well with the noodles too?
(How does it taste together with the noodles?)
-It's good. -It's good. It's good.
(Kim Poong's magic again!)
He drinks the broth again.
The broth is really...
hard to explain.
(Taste that's hard to explain?)
It's like... it tastes weird, but it tastes good.
It tastes weird, but it tastes good.
That's Kim Poong's charm.
-I'll try the egg. -Try the egg.
Although both the egg white and egg yolk are undercooked.
-It's good. -It's good? It goes well with it? -No.
It doesn't go well with it.
-It's makes my mouth dry. -It does?
You have to eat it separately.
Okay, let's try it, everyone.
(Mihal gives each of them a bowl of nangmyun)
(Finally, my turn)
(He skips over Joon-hyun)
-None for me? -Right here.
(A special bowl for the eating show champion)
He gave you a big bowl.
(He was sad for a second but now he's very happy)
This has never happened before. That's a first.
Let's try Chef Lee Yeon-bok's Chinese Style Nangmyun.
(Finally the eating champion steps up)
(Wow)
(Oh)
(The sound of slurping the chewy noodles)
(The sound that makes you hungry)
Chef, I think slices of squid would go well with this.
-Right? -Yes, usually there's squid, shrimp, or jellyfish.
-Jellyfish! There you go. -It has a really nice texture.
I think it would taste even better with squid or jellyfish.
(Eating Champion slurps for the 2nd time)
(This is what eating without chewing is like)
He's the star of eating shows. He never cuts the noodles.
(Wow. Hahaha)
-This is really delicious. -Oh.
This has the cleanest taste out of all Chinese nangmyun I've had.
There's peanut butter in it, but it tastes really clean.
I wouldn't have known you put mustard in it if you hadn't told me.
But I think the mustard makes it taste so clean.
There's udon that's called "Inaniwa Udon," which is made with thin noodles.
-The noodles are thin and chewy. -Okay.
But I think he made better noodles than those.
Let us try Kim Poong's "Poong Yang Nangmyun."
(It really tastes like nangmyun broth?)
-Don't I get an egg? -You want an egg?
(Hahahaha)
(Eating Champion tastes the broth)
Without the egg.
(Next he slurps the noodles)
Wow...this is-
(How will he evaluate it?)
The broth is nice. It is amazing. How did he know how to make this?
-Just like John said, -Yeah?
It's a bit weird.
-But it's a familiar taste. -Yeah.
-I can't stop eating it. -I know.
It feels kind of bland, like how Pyung-yang nangmyun usually tastes at first bite.
It's bland but it's flavorful.
This is bland but familiar.
It's a different kind of bland than Pyung-yang nangmyun.
There's different kinds of "bland?"
Pyung-yang nangmyun tastes like something that's not supposed to be there isn't in it.
But this tastes like something that should be in here isn't.
That's the difference. It's subtle.
You're supposed to mix water kimchi with it.
-But because I didn't have it, I used vinegar instead. -Okay.
All right. It's now time for John Park to make his choice.
Number 1 is Kim Poong, and Number 2 is Chef Lee Yeon-bok.
-Who did John Park choose? Did you push it? -Yes.
The battle of nangmyun with Kim Poong and Lee Yeon-bok.
Is it going to be the student or the master that wins?
Reveal the result now! Who won?
It's Chef Lee Yeon-bok!
-Just as expected. -Just as expected.
-Both dishes were good. -Okay.
But Chef Lee's dish was really good.
-Both were good, but one was really good. -Right.
-The other? -Was good. -Just good. -Yes.
23 wins for Chef Lee Yeon-bok! He gets his 23rd star!
-Thank you. -Thank you.
The Chinese Style Nangmyun.
(1. Mix flour, salt, water in a bowl.)
(2. Roll out the dough and cut it to make noodles.)
(3. Boil noodles in water and cool them in ice water.)
(4. Blend ice in a blender and mix with water, tsuyu, lemon juice, and sugar.)

(7. Season egg with salt, fry it and slice it.)
(8. Put noodles and chopped ingredients and add broth and sauce.)
Next is the Superstar Kcal battle.
It's Chef Lee Won-il vs. Chef Oh Se-deuk.
-You wanted something high calorie? -Yes, high calorie.
Do you sometimes eat like that?
-Usually for a night snack. -Night snack? -Yes.
-I order a chicken and a hamburger set. -Okay.
-I eat and sleep. -That makes you feel happiness.
-It's the joy of my life. -Oh.
(Chef Oh: Tortilla, strawberry jam, peanut butter, chocolate jam, bacon, cilantro, avocado,
cayenne pepper, mozzarella cheese, spam, cumin, chicken breast, chipotle hot sauce)
(Chef Lee: Lime, bacon, caper, cilantro, cayenne pepper, seaweed, mozzarella
cheese, cheddar cheese, spam, sirloin, salmon, garlic sauce, chipotle hot sauce)
Chef Oh Se-deuk, what are you making?
-I'm making Calois. -Calois?
There was a track and field athlete named Carl Lewis.
Chef Lee, you should make Ben Johnson then.
(He named his dish after the legendary athlete.)
After you eat this, you would have to run like him.
(Oh...)
That's how high calorie this is.
-A high calorie dish. -Right.
I'm going to be using tortilla, and the enemy of losing weight, chocolate jam.
-Wow. -Chocolate jam and strawberry jam on top of it.
On top of that, there's gonna be spam and bacon.
And top it with another tortilla and guacamole and chicken breast.
And I'll finish it with peanut butter on top.
That's a calorie bomb.
Oh, I forgot to mention cheese.
(Oops)
How many calories is that, do you think?
-About...5,000 kcal? -5,000 kcal?
-5,000? -About that much. -Incredible.
It's really a calorie bomb, because you crave cola when you're eating something like this.
(Plus the calorie from the cola)
-You have to have cola. -Do you have cola?
I think I have one bottle.
We have to give him a glass.
I'm making...
-High Calorie Kimbap. -High Calorie Kimbap.
High Calorie Kimbap for John Park.
But how high calorie can kimbap be?
But the ingredients I'm using are spam, bacon-
-sirloin, salmon... -Oh.
-fried capers and cheese. -Fried capers?
And I'm going to use a lot of rice.
The kimbap's going to be like this big.
Why don't we have an ambulance ready before we start?
Our stomachs might be upset.
How many calories are you looking at?
I'm looking at about.... 5,500 kcal.
500 more than him.
-That's his pride. -He's better than him.
Now, we will begin the battle.
Chef Oh Se-deuk, who uses creamy butter for his high calorie French cuisine,
versus Chef Lee Won-il, who knows what eating show champions want.
Let's begin the high calorie cooking battle!
(15 minute cooking battle begins)
They have 15 minutes.
(Calois 1. Cut bacon and cook it in a dry pan.)
Chef Oh is cutting the spam first.
Cooking spam makes me spam happy.
It makes him spam happy. That was a joke.
(Kimbap 1. Microwave instant rice.)
(2. Cook bacon in a dry pan.)
Right now, Chef Lee Won-il is taking spam out.
They are both using spam in their dish.
(3. Cook spam with bacon.)
Here comes the sirloin.
He took out the sirloin.
Moms would be shocked at the dishes they're making here.
It's John Park's fridge, but I am getting more excited.
(John Park's rib-eye has fired up the god of eating show.)
Right.
(Oh Se-deuk's Calois: mince the onion and placed it in a bowl.)
Ah, as we speak, he's pouring the mayonnaise.
Oh Se-deuk!
(Chef Oh is scooping out the avocado flesh.)
He looks so cool. He looks really cool when he cooks.
He does. Men who can cook are very charming.
(Mix in the avocado flesh with onion and mayo.)
(Put pepper, salt, and chipotle hot sauce on top of the avocado.)
He's grilling the meat.
(He's smashing garlic powerfully with his bare hands.)
I love those gestures.
(I will show you too.)
(Pound the smoked chicken in the plastic bag.)
With his fist!
-One guy uses his palm and the other uses his fist. -That's right.
(Makes guacamole by mixing chicken and pepper with seasoned avocado.)
-It looks too healthy, no? -It's okay. It has lots of mayo.
(His mouth is wide open.)
Here comes salmon.
He's slicing the salmon.
His kimbap has so many things inside.
(Chopped salmon is mixed with garlic sauce, lime juice, salt, mayo, and pepper.)
He puts mayo here too.
-Salmon is also healthy food. -That's true. Darn it.
Salmon is very fatty though.
It has good fat. Like omega-3.
We aren't trying to make unhealthy food.
If it's delicious but has high calories and is unhealthy, that's Kim Poong's signature dish.
-I will be watching you. -See me after the show.
I am busy today.
He needs to go home asap.
(Roasting cumin on a pan.)
(cumin seeds are from the east Mediterranean and have a biting bitter taste.)
(Mix the roasted cumin with guacamole.)
Why is he roasting cumin?
I don't know.
It enhances the aroma. Also, roasting boosts the nutty taste of seeds.
He's getting the rice.
That's the rice that will be used in kimbap.
It'd be nice to add butter in that rice.
-How did you know? -Is he put in butter?
(Added butter in the pan where the rib-eye and garlic are being grilled.)
(Add butter to rice too.)
I am so happy now.
I love both.
(Season the buttered rice with salt, mashed sesame, and sesame oil.)
He hasn't done that for a while.
(He's mashing the sesame seeds bare-handedly.)
That's it. I love that.
(It's more fun to watch the chefs' skill in person.)
(Toast the tortilla on pan.)
(Spread chocolate jam on the toasted tortilla.)
-That's devil's jam. -It's irresistible.
Wow, chocolate jam.
(Place the bacon bits on the tortilla.)
Do chocolate jam and bacon go well together?
There’s bacon chocolate too.
Oh really?
It means they go well together. (Put mozzarella cheese on top of the tortilla.)
-It's like making a pizza. -Oh Se-deuk. Is that jam you're putting now?
-It's strawberry jam. -It's got lots of jam.
Yes, it's very jammy. (Jammy means fun in Korean.)
Jam is going right in now. Strawberry jam.
It's getting very jammy now. (Korean pun.) -We're having much jammy.
(Not funny.)
Wow, so much jam.
(Spread strawberry jam on the other tortilla and cover it like a lid.)
(Frying capers in oil.)
He's frying the capers?
The capers bloom like flower when fried.
It gets crunch. You can eat them like that.
-Many people enjoy them like that. -Wow, it's true! I didn't know this.
By the way Kim Poong is looking at it, I can tell that he will imitate later.
(We will soon meet Kim Poong's fried capers.)
(Place coriander in a bowl and mix with chipotle hot sauce, lime juice, salt and mayo.)
He's adding mayo. Nice.
You can't skip mayo.
The layering is not done yet. He's adding guacamole now.
(He's shocked.)
(Put salt, chipotle hot sauce, cayenne pepper, mozzarella cheese on top of guacamole.)
(Spread peanut butter on the other tortilla.)
-There goes peanut butter. -Put more.
-You like peanut butter? -I do.
-How about this? -That's too much.
The moment he added more peanut butter, he gave up the dignity of chef.
It's unacceptable.
Too much peanut butter will make your mouth dry.
-Are you adding chocolate on top of it? -Yes.
There goes more chocolate.
(The heavyweight tortilla sandwich impresses even the god of eating show.)
We have four minutes and 30 seconds to go. Mr. Ahn, go there and see how it's going.
(Thinly slice the grilled rib-eye.)
(Place rice, rib-eye, ham, bacon on the seaweed paper and roll it.)
He put the ham too.
This is way too thick.
(The meat roll is finished!)
He's making another roll.
That's the second one with salmon.
Fried capers are going in.
(Salmon roll is finished.)
We have two different rolls.
He's making another roll. A new one.
It's an assorted set of rolls.
He's slicing the tortilla sandwich.
Chef Oh is almost done with his dish.
(Place the sliced tortilla sandwich on a plate.)
Can I use your coke?
Oh, sure.
Pour in the cup.
(Skipping lively.)
Does the dish come with coke?
It will be perfect.
(With the addition of coke)
(Chef Oh's Calois is ready!)
Chef Oh is done.
Two more minutes.
He's putting cheese on the rice.
I don't know about rice and cheese..
-You don't like that combination? -No.
He says he doesn't like it.
-Take it out. -It's already gone in.
You can't turn turn back. You have to keep going.
-What is this? -It's cayenne pepper.
He's making another roll.
(Making one gigantic roll with the small rolls.)
(Oh my gosh.)
(It's hard to wrap everything with single seaweed paper.)
(He's adding another one!)
(The god of eating show is delighted.)
This is extreme.
Will he be able to roll those rolls together?
-Time's ticking. He's got only one minute! -This is nerve-racking.
He can't let the roll break. Is he gonna do it?
He succeeded!
Hold on, hold on.
It's three layers of rolls. He made it!
How can we eat that?
You can't eat that in one bite. One slice will be as thick as steak.
He made another roll with two rolls inside.
He's slicing them up.
-Will it break or not? -It looks very pretty.
It has so many pretty colors.
This is so crazy.
I didn't know you could make kimbap like that.
We have 20 seconds to go.
Oh my gosh.
You can eat all the rolls at once.
(Intimidating appearance.)
This is awesome.
(Place the kimbap on a plate and sprinkle sesame seeds.)
Six, five.
(Chef Lee's High Calorie Kimbap is ready!)
The match is over.
The high calorie kimbap is finished as well.
(The calorie bomb is hidden between tortillas.)
(Chef Oh's Calois.)
Is that one serving?
It's an appetizer.
He doesn't count in serving.
Chocolate, bacon, spam, cheese, avocado, chicken breast, and peanut butter..
Just one slice of that has tremendous amount of calories.
Thank you.
Chef Oh's Calois!
(He takes a bite of the bomb carefully.)
(Laughter escapes his mouth the moment he takes a bite.)
(What does it taste like?)
It's delicious.
He says it's delicious.
It has so many kinds of flavor.
There's saltiness, sweetness,
bitterness of cumin,
and spiciness from the hot sauce he put earlier.
It's really interesting.
So many things happen with that one bite in my mouth.
But avocado is....
it's a bit...
It doesn't go well with other ingredients.
I had to put avocado, because otherwise it would have been very dry.
Chocolate jam is very sticky,
and so is peanut butter,
so I had to put avocado to give some juiciness.
I see. It's really good.
-Can I have one more? -Of course.
Are you not worried about calories?
I don't usually worry about calories.
If I am gonna eat anyways, I am just gonna eat and work out later.
Does this dish call for coke?
I think it tastes just fine without a coke.
(Super size kimbap that will take your breath away.)
(Chef Lee's High Calorie Kimbap.)
How many serving is it?
For me, it would be one serving.
-You can finish it by yourself? -Of course.
I think it's precisely one serving.
-Precisely one serving? -Yes.
-Can I eat with my hand? -No problem.
The ends are the best part. At home, even dads get it only sometimes.
Thank you.
It's looking really pretty.
Our High Calorie Kimbap!
He ate the best part.
(Watching someone else eating is the most difficult thing to do.)
-He has lots to chew. -It seems like he's struggling.
It's way too big.
You'll die from choking not from high calories.
It's too much.
It's perfect.
(He's satisfied just by listening.)
I feel very fulfilled.
I think you should...
put on a menu and sell.
It's really delicious.
-You would pay for it? -Yes.
About 10 dollars?
It should be more expensive. It has so many ingredients.
More than anything, it has rib-eye.
Oh yeah.
-It has salmon, too. -Right.
$18?
How much would you pay?
I think it should be at least $15.
$15. Because it has rib-eye.
Salmon and coriander, right?
Yes. Salmon, coriander and fried capers.
Oh capers! That's what that flavor comes from.
A bit of sour flavor from the fired capers
and the spiciness of hot sauce and refreshing coriander
go well with heavy meaty flavor that can be a bit greasy.
I loved it.
How about we change the name from High Calorie Kimbap
to ninaninyo kimbap?
(John Park is known to sing ninyninyo song when he's happy after eating good food.)
Ninaninyo~♫
(Delicious kimbap makes John Park sing ninaninyo!)
Shall we try?
First, let's try Chef Oh Se-deuk's Calois! Calois!
Calois!
You have to eat with you hand.
(The god of eating show takes a bite.)
I forgot all about calories.
I don't eat sweets as much as you might think.
At first, the sweetness overpowers me, so I flinched a bit-
then it's actually very pleasing sweetness.
Avocado here kind of works like a bridge between different flavors.
The flavor of roasted cumin comes in the end,
and it has amazing aroma that disperses nicely in your nose.
It's so true.
It has a taste of my childhood.
Remember there was a place called "Earth Village" in Jayeon amusement park?
-Earth village? -I even know the song they played.
We go round in round the world
There, you can experience all kinds of different culture of the world.
It's just like that.
I think someone would be selling this somewhere in Itaewon.
It's delicious.
Now we will try Chef Lee's High Calorie Kimbap.
It's mouthful.
You don't give the ends of kimbap to anyone.
(GIgantic kimbap goes easily into his mouth.)
It's way too big.
It'd have been perfect if he put pickled radish.
Gosh, it would have been so good.
Actually, I couldn't find any ingredients that could substitute pickled radish.
That's why I made fried capers.
You know when there are lots of side dishes,
but there are many people at the table,
so you take everything to your plate and put them in your mouth and chew.
Like when you are being greedy.
That's the impression I got.
Considering all the ingredients that went in here, it didn't feel too heavy at all.
It wouldn't be bad to make it bigger.
( I want to eat like this.)
John Park will make a decision.
It's time to choose.
Pick number one for Chef Oh.
Chef Oh is number one.
Cute.
And pick number 2 for Chef Lee.
Nice.
(My score is...)
He's struggling to make a decision.
Superstar K Calorie bomb match.
Who's gonna win this one? Let us see the result!
Superstar K Calorie bomb match.
Who's gonna win this one? Let us see the result!
Oh Se-deuk!
(Calois wins!)
(Unbelievable!)
(Chef Oh Se-deuk is the final winner of Superstar K Calorie match!)
I think Chef Oh Se-deuk's dish left a stronger impression
of being a true calorie bomb.
I think the ingredients of this dish had much higher calories.
And it was delicious.
Chef Oh finally received his fifth star. It took him a year.
Congratulations. Chef Oh.
(Chef Oh's Calois Wins!)
(Cook bacon and span in a pan.)
(Spread chocolate jam on the toasted tortilla and place cooked bacon and spam on top.)
(Add mozzarella cheese and strawberry jam on the tortilla and cover it with the other tortilla.)
(Place minced onion, mayo, avocado flesh in a bowl and
season with pepper, salt, and chipotle hot sauce.)
(Pulled the pounded chicken breast and put it in the avocado mix with coriander.)
(Roast cumin in a dry pan, mash it, and add to guacamole.)
(Spread guacamole on the tortilla and add salt, chipotle sauce, cayenne pepper, and mozzarella cheese.)
(Spread peanut butter and chocolate jam on another tortilla and layer it on top.)
(Slice the tortilla sandwich and put it on a plate and serve with coke.)
For years, I have been doing lots of eating shows...
(But!)
(What he has been looking for all these years...)
(He found it here at Take Good Care of the Fridge!)
(The "Real" eating show is beginning...)
-You can't go there! -You can't taste it yet.
I'd love to take this aroma with me.
(A boy who can pocket aroma has come to the show!)
(His eating is on another level.)
(Fascinated.)
-It must be really good. -It really is.
He's making me hungry.
I want to cover my ears.
They should pay to watch this.
(The true king of eating show is here!)
(Take Good Care of the Fridge.)
I should share this with someone.
