A project to make the better use of those bothersome leftover foods in your fridge.
Best chefs of Korea are here to invade your fridge!
The premium cooking show, Take Good Care of the Fridge!
The gods of food.
Let me introduce our 8 great chefs!
Welcome.
Today, we are missing our father, Chef Lee Yeon-bok.
He is on his summer vacation.
I heard a rumor that he wore the exact same clothes he wore when Ye Ji-won was here.
Probably he wore one of those money bags as well.
If you see someone with a money bag, it would be our Chef Lee Yeon-bok.
Instead of Chef Lee Yeon-bok who's enjoying his summer vacation,
we have a special chef visiting us today.
So, this happened on June 20th.
Do you all remember?
That's when the members of Twice came with a member of Fiesta.
Chef Sam Kim.
Do you have anyone in your mind?
He's not famous but my dad is also a chef of a Korean food restaurant.
Among our chefs, who do you think will lose when competed with your father?
(Chef Sam Kim )
That was clearly a joke.
This show is really weird.
Whatever I say, they make it come true.
We made it happen.
Today's special chef is..
a chef who's familiar with French, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese.
He has 25 years of experience,
and he is also a father of Jung-yeon from Twice.
Please welcome Chef Yoo Chang-jun!
- Welcome. - Welcome.
(Dedicated 25 years in cooking)
(He has practiced every type of food, from Korean to French!)
(Chef Yoo Chang-jun with basic skills and creativity)
Welcome to our show.
He's father of Jung-yeon from Twice.
He's sitting next to Sam Kim?
Hello.
My name is Yoo Chang-joon, who's famous because of my two daughters.
You prepared very well for the talking part.
You have three daughters, right?
My first daughter is actress Gong Seung-yeon.
I have a middle daughter.
And my third daughter is Jung-yeon from Twice.
How is it to have 3 daughters?
- Very good. - Very good?
Just looking at my daughters make me smile all day. Especially the younger ones.
If Jung-yeon brings her boyfriend to introduce to me,
I might not be able to accept him.
I feel like it would be hard for Jung-yeon to get married later.
Because her father is going to be very strict on him.
Was there anyone being extremely friendly while waiting?
- Not really. - What about Chef Kim Poong?
Oh.. Now that I think about it...
He was the most friendly one.
Right, the moment he walked in to the waiting room.
Just a moment ago, I offered a seat next to me to Chef Yoon.
But Poong ran from all the way over there.
I was just being polite.
Did he call you his future father-in-law?
That didn't happen.
The world is becoming small, and
Korea is becoming a global country.
Hey, you!
It's better when the nationality is the same!
What do you think about a foreigner as your son-in-law?
- I am fine. - Oh, really?
I will tell you as a father of two daughters.
They are not the right men.
Why not?
I wouldn't recommend someone like Kim Poong either.
When Jung-yeon was here, she said that,
"my father will probably win over Chef Sam Kim."
Sam Kim has the most stars so far.
Right, because Yeon-bok's not here today.
That means, if you win over Sam Kim, you become the winner among all 8 chefs.
You are lucky if you win over Sam Kim today.
Right.
There are putting a lot of pressure on my shoulders.
I bet they are.
If Chef Lee Yeon-bok knew about this,
he would have chosen to be here with us today.
He will even throw away the money bag to run.
Because he has a good reputation,
I am really excited for what he will show us today.
Today, we have two most important singer and a comedian.
Who will those two be?
Please come out!
Welcome!
Our guests today are Baek Ji-young and Ji Sang-ryul.
Her songs can make her audiences cry only after the first verse.
She's a queen of ballads on a stage with 17 years of experience.
And she's a wife of the actor Jung Seok-won off the stage.
Let me introduce Baek Ji-young!
Hello.
Thank you for the invite. I'm here to eat some good food.
Let's move on to the next person.
Is that how you introduce your new menu?
Did you just call me "the next person"?
I'm not an object, you know.
A person with creative verbal and naming skills.
#1 out of many Korean celebs who like alcohol.
Let me introduce Comedian Ji Snag-ryul.
I am a big fan of Take Good Care of the Fridge.
I'm happy that I could drag my favorite friend with me today.
You dragged me here? No way.
You are so funny.
I thought you were a puppy Spitz.
Are you saying I am a dog?
I mean, you like pets.
I feel like today's gonna be so fun.
Why isn't Yeon-bok here today?
He's on vacation.
Really?
He must have earned lots of money then.
He has become very successful.
I have another news.
That Sang-ryul has proposed to Ji-young before she married Seok-won.
I heard, too.
I heard that you really thought of Ji-young as a very important person to you.
How did you feel when you heard about Ji-young's marriage?
Our entire family became ill when we heard the news.
Your family?
They thought of her as their daughter-in-law...
Because there was a "commu" between me and my family about Ji-young.
"Commu"? You mean a "conversation"?
I was just making it short.
Do you want the full word? Communication!
How dowdy.
I thought you meant "share" or "conversation."
By the way, where was I?
About how sad your family was.
Oh yeah, we were talking about how Ji-young was as my wife.
That's it.
I have some secrets, too.
Did you like her because of her look?
She is indeed very pretty.
But I saw an old picture of her before she got pretty.
Geez.
She was...cute back then.
Then let's all see the cute picture of Ji-young together.
I know which picture you are talking about.
Here is a picture of our guests' past.
I can't tell who is who.
I can't either.
Sang-ryul, you used to have a long hair in the past.
That was the famous hair style back then.
What else is different other than the glasses?
These pictures make me think that they actually do look alike in real life.
No way.
I put so much money on my face! Don't say we look alike.
What kind of food do you like, Ji-young?
There are not that many that I don't like to eat.
Do you have anything you don't like?
Certainly.
I don't like dairy food and meat.
Those are commonly used ingredients.
What about buttery foods?
I can't eat them.
Oh, and I don't eat sweets either.
Okay, she doesn't like sweets.
I don't eat chocolates, ice creams, or cakes unless I am forced to eat.
Maybe that's how you keep yourself skinny.
You said you don't have that many that you don't like to eat.
Yeah, I just realized too.
Then I will tell you what I like to eat.
Yes, please.
I really love spicy food.
And I love Southeast Asian food.
Southeast Asian food.
They have very strong taste.
Anything specific?
Tom Yam Soup!
I can try anything that is soup-based.
You must love alcohol then.
You have an organic tongue.
I like it.
Did you have any preference of chefs that you wanted to
ask to cook for you with the ingredients in your fridge?
The chef whom I think is able to make the food tastes good without meat and dairies..
I think I would like to ask Chef Sam Kim.
What about Chef Choi?
I tend to forget about someone who's right next to me. Sorry.
I think Chef Choi is also capable..
And I don't think Chef Choi's performances are disgusting.
Not disgusting..
Who said they are disgusting?
(Everyone here said that...)
Who said that? Bring him here!
I know you say that a lot!
Kim Poong's facial expression always says they are disgusting.
- Oh, you were able to read that? - Of course.
He's not falling asleep.
He was and then he woke up.
You sleep during the show?
How could you fall asleep with Ji-young on your side?
- I didn't fall asleep today. - Right?
I think Ji-young's facial expression is saying, "you are disgusting."
Ji-young, you are preparing for your solo concert, right?
Yes, it starts at the end of August.
Are you practicing for a dance cover of Twice's song for the concert?
Yes.
Really? I heard it right then.
Well, I am not going to ask you now but
can you reply with the dance after you eat something good?
Okay.
"Tasty Food, Sha Sha Sha"
Alright, then let us invade the queen of ballads, Baek Ji-young's fridge.
There were quite a few times when we had a chance to look into fridges
of married celebrity couples.
We had Sean's fridge,
Lee Sun-kyun's and Tablo's.
But it's our first time to have the wife as our guest.
I want to tell you before we get started that I didn't have time to clean at all.
It is just how it usually is.
Did you put any labels on the bottles or...
I really didn't have time to.
I wanted to though.
If you do it for the show, it would be too artificial.
That might be better. I am worried that it would be dowdy when you open it.
No, no. It's more natural that way.
A lot of wives feel differently though.
Because the fridge shows how well they take care of household.
The fridge will tell us about how well she takes care of the household.
That's what I am worried about.
It will also tell us what kind of food she makes for her husband.
Seok-won's family is probably watching.
Gosh, I didn't think about that.
She's been married for 3 years, she's not new to this.
So it will sure tell us the" naked face" of her life.
"Naked face?"
- Gosh. - Fine, the truth.
Cut me out on this conversation.
So, this one here is Ji-young's fridge.
I have a built-in fridge at home so I couldn't take it with me.
Alright, with lots of expectations, let us invade Ji-young's fridge for the first time!
Let us invade Ji-young's fridge for the first time!
Looking good.
I see lots of alcohols.
All I see is alcohol bottles.
They are for cooking!
I heard a rumor on Ji-young about what happened when she was drunk.
That she slept at a dog house.
Is that true? If it is, that's something big.
The indoor one or the outdoor one?
The outdoor one.
How did you even fit in there?
It is a really big dog.
Isn't it something very serious?
It only happened once.
This level requires a guardian to watch over.
Right, a guardian who can keep her safe when she's drunk.
I bet Seok-won can't drink at all.
Because if he does, then an accident might happen.
Let's start from the top.
You really didn't have time to clean up, did you?
We have this suspicious thing. What is it?
Geez, what is it?
- What is this? - Red chili-pepper paste with vinegar.
Red chili-pepper paste with vinegar.
It is humane, I guess.
I do the same!
Wait, I have another one over here.
There are many sauce cups in the fridge.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
There are 6 sauce cups.
I make all sauces ahead of time to make cooking easier and faster.
That's actually a good way.
You know how our mothers do that and they are good at keeping household?
She's just like them! A prepared cook.
She's a good wife!
There are many tomato sauces.
I don't like them but I bought them for my husband and they end up like that.
Is this from a foreign country?
Probably from Thailand or Vietnam.
You have prepared some ingredients, it seems like.
- These are fresh seafood. - They look good.
They are picked cucumbers.
Pickled cucumbers.
She makes pickled cucumbers herself.
Here we have some heavenly peaches.
And lots of fresh vegetables.
Wait, I thought you don't eat dairy foods.
It's almond milk.
- Are these okay? - Yes.
I found some cream cheese. Are they for your husband also?
Yes, and they were gifts actually.
If you look at it, I barely ate it.
I couldn’t throw it away...
Geez. What do I do?
No!
It went moldy, didn't it?
I bet it went moldy.
If you say you have to look, I am going to eat it all before you do that.
Let me see.
I'm gonna throw it away myself.
- Dear Seok-won's mother... - Come here, Come here!
I said come here!
Why are you looking in the trash can?
Because I am a beggar.
- I'm a beggar, so what? - Please don't do this to me, please.
That really represents Udumbara from Buddhism philosophy.
You debate whether or not to look but you end up not looking until you die.
I feel like I can even pray to that thing.
Let's move on to the freezer now.
- The freezer is... - It's like a battlefield.
I don't know where to start.
Look how it's mouth is showing.
I think he's saying something to us.
Let's hear him out.
Oh, you were there for a while?
- He's asking us to take him out. - Let's do so.
What is this one that's wrapped with paper towel?
- What is this? - It's just regular paper towel.
- Oh, it's fried fish. I cooked it and...
For the first time, we had a fried fish from the freezer.
It's already cooked.
- The fish is very unfortunate. - Indeed.
Maybe that's why this fish was trying to tell us.
- What is this? - It's coriander.
I can't eat the whole thing by itself but when it gets shattered,
I put them on my food.
Are these crabs?
Yes, for Miso stew.
- Crabs? - Crabs.
There is a frozen broth.
And here is another one.
Do you know what it is?
I do, I do.
We might use this to make soups.
They are seafood broth so it should be fine.
That's a banana.
Let's throw it away.
- It's been picked. - Throw it away.
- Ummm.. - What is that?
Finally, we have something like this.
It must be hard to peel.
Please throw it away for me.
Why don't you pass it down to your offspring?
Let's look at some room temperature ingredients.
You really like southeast Asian food, don't you?
That's it for Ji-young's fridge.
It was a lot of fun.
I didn't think you would look this closely.
- Let's take a 5 minute break. - 5 minute break everyone.
(Ji-young's waiting room) Are they all gonna be on air?
Are you really?
I don't get to determine, Ji-young.
Are you really going to use picked bananas and moldy cream cheese?
These are what Ji-young is asking to our chefs!
These are what she wants!
Southeast Asian Soup, with the perfect amount of salt!
Can you sing this with your voice?
Southeast Asian Soup, with the perfect amount of salt!
Gosh, so good!
The sauce in my mouth..
How do I sing this?
I will show you on the stage.
No, let's just do it here.
- The sauce in my mouth.. - (I love you in Chinese)
Are they as special as me?
Oh, it was this song.
He kept blowing air into my neck.
It's been a long time since...
He felt down because he was so excited.
What is this one like?
I like both soups and Southeast Asian food.
I wanted to ask the chefs to make tasty Southeast Asian soups
that are perfect for my taste.
The amount of salt is the key to win for this battle.
This one..
I want something that has a special sauce that's good for fish or meat.
Something that I can make at home, too.
I will introduce 4 chefs who will be competing this battle.
#1 is Sam Kim with 23 wins.
#2 is Choi Hyun-suk with 22 wins.
#3 is Lee Won-il with 14 wins.
And #4 is our special chef, Yoo Chang-jun.
If Sam Kim battles with Chef Yoo...
Chef Yoo gets to choose first today.
You are the #1 to choose.
I will go for the sauce battle.
That's what Chef Yoo chose.
It's up to Chef Sam Kim whether or not to avoid the match with Chef Yoo.
It's a shame for Chef Kim if he tries to avoid.
Which one do you want to go for?
I will give it a try.
It's going to be a big match.
The match started by Jung-yeon is coming up soon.
A match between her father and Chef Sam Kim!
That will automatically put Chef Choi and Chef Lee
for Southeast Asian Soup competition.
I've never made Southeast Asian food before
but I will try to make something that has that taste and smell.
Because taste is all about creativity.
I studied in the Philippines actually.
Yeah, I knew it.
I ate lots of coriander there too.
He will kill Chef Choi's ass today.
Our first match with ingredients from Ji-young's fridge is
Southeast Asian Soup, with the perfect amount of salt!
Chef Choi's score is not good when competed with Chef Lee.
He fought against Chef Lee twice and lost both times.
He never won.
Winning is not important.
I see where it's going.
What matters is whether or not Ji-young satisfies.
It's cheesy.
Is he a real chef or fake?
(Chef Lee: crabs, scallops, conch, zucchini, phrik khi nu. soybean paste, shrimps,
soju, Vietnamese spicy soy sauce, bacon, portobello mushrooms)
(Chef Choi: crabs, scallop, tomato juice, Vietnamese spicy soy sauce,
tomato sauce, portobello mushrooms, almond milk, crushed chill)
The food I am making today is,
"The expert of Tom Yam"
They come up with the names?
I bet he's using lots of coriander.
Not just coriander, I will use lots of seafood ingredients to make broths.
I will add some Thai sauces and Thai peppers,
and a little bit of soybean paste to make tasty broth.
I can already taste it.
My salivary gland is already activated.
Only after hearing the description.
The food I am making today is" Tom Yam King."
" Tom Yam King!"
The most important scent of Tom Yam Soup is in lemon-grass oil.
I will mix ginger with peaches and lemon grater to replace lemon-grass oil.
I will try to make it taste like Tom Yam Soup from its original country.
Let me use one of your mushrooms.
I need some of your mushrooms, too.
I don't think being nice is a good idea, Chef Choi.
It is because we are using almost the same ingredients, like 90%.
Then it's going to be a big match.
Let us start the competition with the ingredients from Ji-young's fridge.
A chef who can perfectly control the amount of salt, Chef Choi Hyun-suk verses
Chef Lee Won-il, who has studied in a Southeast Asian country.
Would Chef Choi will be able to win over Chef Lee today?
The Southeast Asian Soup competition starts now!
You have 15 minutes.
The taste of soup is the key for this match.
I wonder how they can make it in 15 minutes.
They don't even have enough ingredients.
(Fry minced garlic and sauced intestines with oil.)
He's frying sauced intestines right now.
She said she likes spicy food.
Yes, Ji-young likes spicy food.
The taste of broth is very important.
- They are missing typical ingredients used in Southeast Asian foods. - Blowfish?
I see. This is how the broths are made.
- What are you doing, Chef Lee? - I am making the broth.
I first stir-fried some garlic with dried pollack...
That's how you are making the broth.
Chef Choi is putting in some lemon.
He's using lemon peels?
Yes, because the peel contains more scent.
I see, I see.
Are you using lemon, too?
Yes, I am going to use some lemon peels as well.
I thought a side rice would be nice since it's a soup-based food.
I am going to make rice with ginger juice and lemon.
Oh, you are putting the scent in the rice?
- Are you using ginger, Chef Choi? - Yes.
- Do you like ginger? - Yes, I do.
Lots of ginger!
Chef Choi is using the peaches.
Heavenly peaches.
- Is it tomato sauce that he's using? - It seems like it.
And he added some sauces from Thailand.
They are making really different plates .
Chef Choi is focusing on the lemon-grass scent,
and Chef Lee is focusing on the taste of the broth.
Both chefs are focusing on the taste of broth.
Grater, grater!
What is Chef Choi looking for?
The time is keep going.
Oh my gosh.
Did he find it?
No, he's using a normal knife.
- Was it right in front of him? - Yes, he didn't see it.
He accused Chef Lee without looking around first.
He always does that.
I got the scent of lemon-grass.
He said he got the taste.
He seems to be satisfied.
Chef Lee is peeling garlic with his bare hands.
He looks like Lim Guk-Jung..
He's really fast.
Are those bacon, Chef Lee?
Yes, I want to get some oil from them to make the taste of broth better.
Which sauce did you put in, Chef Lee?
It's called Sate sauce from Thailand.
It's made with coconut milk,
fish sauce, and others that are used in Tom Yam Soups.
Chef Lee is very busy.
He's finally getting the broth.
- He's pouring out the broth. - It looks fantastic.
It looks really nice.
It does look like Tom Yam Soup.
It does look nice.
Does Kung mean shrimps?
Yes, it is.
Shrimps and scallops!
And also conches.
We have spicy chilli here.
- He's putting in a lot. - I can smell it.
Chef Choi is coughing.
I think it's because of the spicy chilli.
It's really spicy.
Oh, he's sneezing.
- I like it. - He seems like he's in pain.
If I can make Ji-young happy by
suffering from spicy chilli, then I am okay with it.
You seem to be in pain though.
I can feel it from all the way here.
I think the pepper is very spicy.
Everybody is coughing.
The smell is spreading.
Wouldn't it be too spicy?
Sawadikap.
He's extracting only the broth using a fabric.
It looks bland to me.
It looks like the ramen soup with less powder sauce.
He's pouring in some milk.
Salt!
Time for salt!
- He put it in his hair. - One more time!
He's going for one more time!
(He's aiming for...)
(Kim Poong)
(But..)
(Some fell into Chef Lee's soup.) (Sorry again)
(About 30 particles of salt)
He's not the Tom Yam King, he's a nasty king!
Kim Poong is giving him a hard time!
We have less than 4 minutes left.
Go!
Less than 4 minutes left.
This is the most important thing today.
Let me taste.
- Does it taste like Southeast Asian food? - Yes, it does!
How did this happen?
It really does taste Southeast Asian.
What did Chef Lee put in?
Soybean paste? In there?
Let's taste Chef Lee's broth, too.
MC Ahn is trying Chef Lee's broth.
How is it? How is it?
Now I believe that he's studied in Philippines.
Wow!
Excellent!
- Does it taste like it? - Amazing!
But the two dishes taste different?
- Different. - Wow! What am I gonna do?
They both taste like Tom Yum Koong.
But this one tastes clean and light. While this one is more deep.
- Really? - Yes.
- The queen must taste it. - Alright.
They're amazing! What am I gonna do now?
About 1 minute and 25 seconds left!
Not much time left.
(Chef Choi is adding lemon juice to add sour taste)
(12. Put lemon juice, fish sauce,
blanched clams and conch )
Okay, now. They're adding cilantro.
Yes, if you put cilantro, it will give a distinct taste.
Chef Lee is pouring it into the bowl.
Look at all those ingredients.
So dynamic. Oh, and the pollack!
Wow, excellent! The pollack.
- I love pollack. - It's amazing.
- It's because he's Korean cuisine chef. - The conch...
- The shrimps, too! - This one's more Korean-style, huh?
Only 30 seconds left now!
30 Seconds!
Wow, they actually did it.
- Please finish it up. - Yes, final stage!
Chef Choi is a bit behind.
Chef Lee's ahead.
- Okay, put the lemon. - He's adding the lemon!
Alright, Chef Lee!
Right, the rice! He has to put the rice, too.
10 seconds left! Yes, he had the rice, too.
- Only seconds left! - The rice!
- Chef Lee finished first. - He got done faster?
Nine, eight, seven, six, five
four, three, two, one!
Chef Lee is done, too.
- I didn't know they were so strict about the time limit. - Both of them are done.
Wow, it looks really spicy.
- It's hot in here. - Oh, the smell is so nice.
Wow, they actually did in 15 minutes.
(Tom Kum Yang in Fusion Southeast Asian-style )
(Chef Choi's Tom Yang King)
I'll try the conch, my favorite.
Alright, the conch.
- Okay, she's tasting it! - How is it?
Chef Choi's Tom Yang King...
Oh, the queen is smiling! Her face is brightening up!
I think she likes it.
Wow, how did he do it?
Is it the taste you wanted?
- It's more... - Yes?
clean and light.
By more clean, you mean...
So I can try it without any hesitation.
I see.
It's not completely Southeast Asian style. It's more clean and simple taste.
- Yes, more clean and simple. - Oh.
I see.
If you try now with that shrimp, it'll taste like real Tom Yang Koong.
Koong, right. Okay, she's gonna try the shrimp now.
Shrimp, cilantro plus the soup. She's trying it now!
- This part is very important. - Tom Yam Koong!
- Koong! - Koong! Koong!
Oh, yes!
Koong! Koong!
- (Thumbs up) - Oh, yes!
Thumbs up! Yes!
Why are you crying? Is it that good?
- It's really good. - All right!
I know that she's not good at lying.
Right, right.
Is it just the right amount of salt?
- It's perfect. - Perfect.
'Like it's been salted just the right amount!!'
- It's exactly this. Tom Yang Koong. - I see.
You must really like cilantro. You're eating so much of it.
She's eating them like a cow.
- A cow? - Did you say a cow?
How can you say that...
I'm just saying, she's eating that much. No offense.
- Question. - Yes?
Back there, you were like throwing salt in it. How much of it actually went in?
You're supposed to use about 3 pinches of salt.
But I calculated how much of it will actually just fall on the floor.
I planned it ahead.
I think about 23% of the salt I threw in the air actually went into the soup.
Oh, into the pot.
And 70% of it fell on my head.
You know how you throw salt to someone who has bad influence or bad luck?
- That's why I did that. - (Go away, Evil Spirit!)
(Tom Yang Koong in Korean-style)
(Chef Lee Won-il's 'The Expert of Tom Yam')
She's washing the spoon.
To make an accurate evaluation!
She's like a 'Tommelier'.
Tommelier. As in Sommelier, huh?
The expert of Tom Yang Koong, yes.
- The soup part is very important. - Right, right.
Oh, the smell is different, really.
Yes, the two dishes are very different.
In both smell and taste.
- Oh, wow. - Oh, wow! Yes!
Is it what she was looking for? What's going on?
This one had more deep taste when I tried it back there.
- Her face is turning red. - (Why is she laughing suddenly?)
This is...
Tom Yang Koong, no doubt about it, but...
it tastes very Korean.
Right, right. Chef Lee is a Korean Cuisine chef.
But the overall taste goes so well with cilantro. It's amazing.
Cilantro is actually quite common in Korean cuisine, too.
Especially in Buddhist temple.
They sometimes make kimchi out of it.
- Oh, really? - Yes, not many people have tried them though.
Cilantro goes really well with Korean cuisine as well.
How's the saltiness?
It's so perfect.
'Like it's been salted just the right amount'
Okay, now she's trying it with the rice.
- The rice has a bit of lemon taste, too. - Right.
I think the best part is the rice.
Oh, the rice. Really?
Because it kinda tastes like that rice...what's it called?
The one they use in Southeast Asia?
Jasmine rice.
- It tastes like that. - Oh.
So they go really well together. The rice and Tom Yam Koong.
And how is the soup part? For both dishes?
- Excellent. - Excellent, I see.
Please describe the taste through your singing.
How were the two dishes?
Like it's been...
- Her voice is so husky! - A grain of rice probably got stuck.
I know. Sounds like something got stuck in your throat.
I ate too much!
Like it's been salted just the right amount!
The soup is overflowing...
(Perfect amount of salt)
Her singing is delicious, too.
It was so good. It was so delicious.
Okay, everyone will try Chef Choi's 'Tom Yang King' now.
Alright, 'Tom Yang King'!
Wow.
Very interesting.
(With lots of cilantro)
Wow.
Goodness.
Personally, I don't really like cilantro. But this dish is...quite good.
Yeah, right?
This is awesome!
It's perfect amount of spiciness. It goes well with the soup part.
It's very well balanced.
Like I mentioned before, I think a lot of female customers will like this taste.
Yes.
More so than male customers, probably.
I see why he described the taste,'light'.
The peach, lemon and ginger
made it very lightly sweet. So it's not too much. It's very well-balanced.
Even though it's like a hot soup for the summer time,
it's still very refreshing.
I see, I see.
This time, we'll try 'The Expert of Tom Yam'.
Try it with the rice. 'The Expert of Tom Yam'.
- Oh, wow. - (Ji-young is just drinking it without using a spoon.)
(Very carefully tasting it)
Oh this pollack...very interesting.
- How is she supposed to choose? - They're very different, huh?
- Wow, this... - What am I gonna do?
I can tell that a Korean cuisine chef made it.
So it's like female Tom Yang koong and male Tom Yang Koong.
Yeah, you're right.
Female and male. Very different feelings.
It's very delicious. Has this very clean and neat taste.
It kinda feels like that this dish has the same firepower as Chef Lee Yeon-bok's.
Yes, the firepower.
It's very good.
If I were to describe it, Chef Choi's dish is kinda like
Japanese soy paste stew. It reminds me of that.
And Chef Lee's dish is like Korean soy paste stew.
Oh, I see.
Even though they both use soy paste,
Korean and Japanese soy paste stew are slightly different.
And I feel like there's that kind of difference between the two dishes today.
- But they're both very good. - Alright.
- You know, they made them in 15 minutes. - Yes, it's amazing.
Our chefs are pretty good, huh?
I wasn't nervous til now. But I think I'm getting nervous...
Yes, we have some talented chefs on this show.
- Yes, seriously. - They're all very extraordinary.
Oh, she must be having a great dilemma. She looks so serious.
Number 1 is Chef Lee's 'The Expert of Tom Yam'.
Number 2 is Chef Choi's 'Tom Yam King'.
- I pressed the button. - Alright, she pressed it.
Southeast Asian style soup dish cooking battle!
Whom did the queen choose?
- Please show us! - (The Tom Yam Queen)
Who did Ji-young choose?
(Chef Lee won-il - Winner)
- Chef Lee Won-il! - ('The Expert of Tom Yam' - Winner)
Chef Lee won!
Wow! What's this?
She chose Chef Lee Won-il!
Chef Lee Won-il again. He's like always winning against Chef Choi.
- Wow. - Yes, yes.
When I first tasted it and smelled it,
- I thought I liked Chef Choi's dish better. - Oh, okay.
But like I said before, I don't really like sweet food.
Ahh...
When I kept tasting this, the sweet taste got stronger and stronger.
- Right here? - Congratulations, Chef Lee!
Chef Lee Won-il!

(Chef Lee Won-il's 'The Expert of Tom Yam' Full Recipe)
This time, using the ingredients from Ji-young's fridge,
'Sauce for my mouth, is it special like me?'
This will be a mind-blowing cooking battle.
It's Chef Yoo Chang-jun against Chef Sam Kim.
Something Jung-yeong just said,
became reality.
Choose one chef that your father could win against.
- Who is it? - (Sam Kim)
- Very shocking. - I'm very sorry.
- Only me? - Yes, only you.
What's interesting is that, we don't have Chef Lee Yeon-bok here today.
So Chef Sam Kim is the first ranking, he has the highest number of star badges.
So he's the perfect representative of our show. He has to battle against Chef Yoo.
Because he has the highest ranking.
I feel very overwhelmed by this.
Aside from winning and losing, I think this battle will have a tremendous impact.
If Chef Sam loses, our audience might request to change all the chefs on this show.
I wonder if he'll be able to protect the reputation and honor of our program!
How about you, Mr. Yoo? This is your first time here.
Jung-yeon said she thought Chef Sam Kim's dish
- was the best out of all personally. - Oh, okay.
So I wish I didn't have to compete against him. I'm actually sweating a lot.
- Because I'm so nervous. - Oh, really?
So we prepared a surprise video to help you relax a bit.
Wow.
Okay, let's see it!
A surprise video for Chef Yoo!
- (Jung-yeon from Twice and Actress Gong seung-yeon) - Dad!
(Daddy Smile)
Congratulations! I'm so glad that you've been invited as a special chef for
'Take Good Care Of The Fridge'.
But I'm worried....will you be alright?
Make sure you get the star badge! We're cheering for you!
Go, dad!
Cheer up baby! Cheer up baby! Cheer up a little more!
Go, dad!
- Alright! - (Fully motivated)
You must be so happy.
His two daughters cheering for him.
I think I really should cheer up for the sake of my daughters.
Right, they told you to get the star badge.
If I don't get it, I'll have to steal one.
Okay, this time....we have a video prepared for
Chef Sam Kim, too. To help him relax.
Please, let's check it out!
(A surprise video for Sam Kim is...)
- (Nonexistent) - Sorry, I lied.
- Sorry, I lied. - Gosh.
(Chef Sam Kim's Ingredient Choice: beans, clams, conch, paprika,
peach, green olives, mackerel)
(Chef Yoo's Ingredient Choice: noodles, cabbage, peach, pickled
cucumbers, broth, cucumbers)
What are you going to make, Chef Yoo?
Let's make some junbyeong(Korean rice cake) now.
(Amazed)
So the title of your dish is, 'Let’s Make Some Jungbyeong'.
So it will be a very healthy food for summer. The broth and the vegetables.
So I'll wrap the junbyeong around the vegetables.
It will be a very nutritious dish.
Oh, I see.
Can you make it in 15 minutes?
I'll try my best.
- So it's kinda like Yim Ja Soo Tang? - Yes, right.
Yim Ja is like sesame.
I saw that there was the meat broth in her fridge.
I'll use that broth and blended sesame and pine nuts.
I'll make them into fine powder to make the sauce.
- Oh, all right. - I wonder if he'll have time to do all that.
Today, I'm going to make,
'I only need the sauce.'
'I only need you.'
'I Only Need the Sauce'.
- Ill use some peaches. - Alright.
I'm going to bake them. And then I'll also use mackerels.
I'm going to make a special sauce
that goes with both vegetables and seafood.
All right.
Wow, I'm so intrigued.
We'll start the battle now.
This battle started with Chef Yoo's daughter, Jung-yeong's challenge.
Chef Yoo Chang-joon, who is a talented Korean and American cuisine chef,
with 25 years of experience.
And a living history of our show, Chef Sam Kim!
I wonder who'll be the winner of this cooking battle.
We will start now!
(15 minute cooking battle starts!)
Oh, you can start now. Go ahead.
Chef Yoo is a bit...
I think he's making a dough.
Is he gonna use flour?
- He said he was going to make Junbyeong. - Oh, right.
How is he going to make that in 15 minutes?
If he moves so slowly like that, I don't think it'll be possible....
- He's very slow... - Maybe he'll be able to make only the Jungbyeong.
(1. Mix flour, salt and water.)
I wonder if he can make it in 15 minutes.
It's like the nutritious snack that Korean kings used to eat.
It's a variation of Yim Ja Soo Tang.
(1. Put salt and kidney beans in boiling water.)
(2. Chop paprika and baby pumpkin. Mix in olive oil.)
Okay, he's putting them on a pan.
Oh, look at his skills!
- Amazing! - Awesome!
Shy Shy Shy!
Oh, he's round cutting the cucumber.
Oh, he's going to use the skin part?
He's chopping them. He's not throwing them away.
That part is very crispy. So it'll add texture to the whole dish.
Oh, he's using the skin part.
(Everyone's looking at Chef Yoo)
- Aren't you lonely? - I am.
Let's give some attention to Chef Sam as well. He's chopping things.
- Cheer up, Chef Sam! - Look at the speed! He's mincing the garlic.
I mean he's our chef. We are kind of leaning towards him.
- Olives! - He's mincing them, too.
He's busy preparing the ingredients.
(4&5. Mince garlic and green olives. Put it in a bowl with olive oil. Add lemon juice)
(Chef Yoo, chopping the cabbage, looks very laid-back)
All right.
- He's so relaxed. - I know.
- He doesn't look nervous at all. - He looks like a person who's been here many times.
Usually, they fumble a lot when it's their first time.
He has time to clean the cutting board, too.
(He's tasting the pickled cucumbers)
- The cucumbers!- The pickled cucumbers!
- Okay, he's trying them. - (Nervous)
- How does it taste? - It's very salty.
(Oh, no!)
So, he's checking the ingredients.
So, he's using all of it...
When he said that it was too salty, he actually looked more relaxed than Chef Sam.
Yes, certainly. It's too salty. Well, we don't know how this will end yet.
He's putting them in water.
- Oh, he's trying to make it less salty. - Yes.
As were speaking, Chef Sam is preparing conch, Ji-young's favorite.
(7. Slice the peaches. Cook them on a grilled pan)
(Takes out a well-cooked paprika)
- (Starts to chop it!) - His hands are faster than usual.
- Yes, I can't see his hands. - And I think he's a bit exaggerating the motion.
- Like he's bragging. - No, no.
- Yes, definitely. - Look, he's being over-zealous.
I agree!
Like in armies, the person of a higher ranking shows off in front of other soldiers.
Oh, yes. He's trying to show him who's the boss.
(6. Put meat broth, pine nuts, sesame, and water in a bowl.)
I think he put some pine nuts and sesame in there.
And the meat broth.
Oh, is he mincing them?
He's trying to make some soup.
Chicken and sesame.
- Is he mincing them? - (He's checking the time)
- Oh, where is he going? - Where are you going?
- (He's leaving the kitchen?) - Where are you going?
Can I have some ice?
- Ice! - They're in the freezer.
He's so polite. I don't know if he has time for all that.
- He's like, 'Can I have some ice?' - (Busy but still so graceful)
Chef Lee Won-il will get you some ice.
- Oh, no... - Chef Yoo, you should get back to cooking.
You need to manage your time well...
Only about 8 minutes 30 seconds left now.
Oh, it looks so pretty!
- Oh, what is Chef Yoo doing? - (Very neat looking Jungbyeong)
- Oh, he's like Turing it. - It's been separated!
It's not sticking to the pan anymore.
He's very skilled.
Oh, I hope it doesn't tear apart!
(No, no)
(He flipped it)
(But it got slightly torn)
(Groan)
How is it? Is it okay?
- It's alright. - Oh, really? He says it's fine.
(9. Add olive oil the sauce, stir and add salt and pepper.)
(But then!)
(He spilled the salt bottle)
- He spilled it! - I guess he's very nervous.
- Yes, yes. - He spilled the entire bottle.
But you're the rep or our program. You shouldn't make that kind of mistake!
(10. Add blanched clams, conch and kidney beans. Stir well.)
- There's not much time left. - (He takes out the mackerel...)
He's now working on the mackerel..
Only 7 minutes left but he's just getting started on the mackerel.
(11. Bake the mackerel on a pan. Add salt and pepper.)
If it doesn't get cooked all the way, we'll have to eat it raw...
- It has to be cooked. - If it doesn't, we'll have to eat it raw...
(8. Boil the noodles)
- (9. Cool the Junbyeong) - He got it done very smoothly.
He's putting the carrots on the pan.
(10. Add salt to the chopped carrots.)
He keeps focusing on the preparation of the vegetables and other ingredients.
Shouldn’t Chef Yoo start using the blender?
Oh, right?
- Everything's prepared. I'll just do that at the very end.
- (Amazed) - He has it all figured out. It's been calculated ahead of time.
Okay, now he's going to wrap the ingredients.
Like Ssam and Kimbop.
- It looks so pretty. - The colors look great.
- Very beautiful. - (He's trying to roll it...)
Oh, no. The Junbyeong is sticking to the cutting board.
- Oh, no! - I hope it doesn't get torn.
Oh, no! Are there too many ingredients inside?
(It got torn!)
Oh, no. I think it got torn a bit!
- This is bad! - Will he be alright?
Is it gonna get torn?
It is...?
- Oh, no! - No, he got it together...somehow.
It's okay. It's still fine.
Important time! Only about 5 minutes left!
Let me go over there...
It's almost the end.
Chef Sam Kim started his plating! He's staring his plating!
- I'll try the conch dressing. - Yes, yes.
'The sauce for my mouth'?
(It's so soft! It's melting me!)
(Overreacting)
(Dancing, dancing)
Is it good?
- It's awesome! This conch dressing is really good.
Wow, Chef Sam Kim did it again.
Where's the lid?
(Right in front of him...)
(14. Put the pine nuts, sesame, meat broth and blend them together)
(15. Washed the boiled noodles in cold water)
Oh, he's working on the soup part now!
Like Yim Ja Soo Tang!
I think he's going to pour the Yim Ja Soo Tang sauce over the noodles.
I love noodles.
- Should I try the soup part? - Yes, please! The sauce part!
Okay, the soup part.
The sauce is very important.
'The sauce for my mouth'!
How is it?
I think it's a bit plain.
I think it needs more salt.
Is it okay?
The pickled cucumbers will balance it.
Oh, right! The salty pickled cucumbers!
Right, we had the pickled cucumbers...
(13. Chop the cooked baby pumpkins. Put them on a bowl.)
(14. Add the clams and the conch.)
(15. Use the hand blender to mince cilantro. Add olive oil as well.)
(16. Add lemon juice to the cilantro)
- Since she likes cilantro...- Oh, so he's adding it.
Oh, the cilantro...
It's so pretty.
Okay, he's slicing them.
(18. Put the noodles and add vegetable Junbyeong and pickled cucumbers on top)
- (19. Pour the sauce over). - It's so pretty.
- He's almost done. - Wow!
- Look at the color. Are you done? - Yes.
Oh, he's already done!
('Let's Make Some Junbyeong' is complete!)
He got 1 minute and 11 secs earlier!
He was so relaxed! How did he do that?
Then what is Sam Kim doing?
- He's behind! - (Add baked peaches and mackerels)
- In the beginning, his hands were moving really fast. - Right.
Only about 30 seconds left now.
Look at the kitchen Chef Yoo used. It's so neat and clean.
Nothing to talk about.
On the other hand, Chef Sam's kitchen is....What is all this?
There are pumpkins and mackerels everywhere.
11 seconds left!
11 seconds! You must hurry up!
Only 11 seconds, Chef Sam.
- He's done! All right! - (I Only Need The Sauce' Complete!)
Chef Sam is done, too!
I'm getting all tired...
Usually, first time chefs' hair becomes a mess because they've been battling.
But Chef Yoo still looks fine.
I think Chef Sam got older compared to 15 minutes ago.
(Fresh to suddenly aged after the cooking battle)
(Nutritious savory sesame sauce with vegetable Junbyeong)
(Chef Yoo's 'Let's Make Some Junbyeong')
You have to eat it with the pickled cucumbers for balance.
- Alright. - Yes, you have to have it with the pickled cucumbers.
It's perfect for the summer time.
- By Jungbyeong itself, it's a bit bland. - So you have to eat it with the cucumbers.
- But by Junbyeong itself. - Yes, Jungbyeong alone.
Okay now she's mixing them with the cucumbers.
She hasn't tried the pickled vegetables.
- She didn't even know she had it. - Yes.
Oh, finally.
(Opens her eyes big)
- The pickled cucumbers... - The pickled cucumbers!
- Yes, the pickled cucumbers made it just right.
- It's has this perfect neat and simple taste! - (I'm so curious I'm gonna die)
It's the perfect combination of the cucumbers, noodles and the savory sesame dressing.
The cucumbers made a huge difference.
The cucumbers...I know.
Okay, she's now soaking the Junbyeong in the sauce.
It will be different from the first time you tried it.
Let's make some Jungbyeong...
Oh, is it good?
- What is it? - (Why is she suddenly clapping?)
What is it?
- (She's trying to say something) - You have to eat it like that?
- Oh, yes. Right. - (She's describing the taste with her body.)
It was baked on a pan.
In the beginning, it was warm. So I was like, ' what kind of taste is this?'
But now it's cold, using the ice.
So Junbyeong is cold now.
And the taste became different, too. It's so refreshing.
(Assorted salad with Sam Kim's special olive sauce)
(Chef Sam's 'I Only Ned The Sauce')
- Should I eat it like this? - Yes.
All right.
- She knows how to eat it. - Right. The sauce tasted really good when I tried it.
Chef Sam's sauce is really good.
What is that expression? What's going on?
- (Very nervous, scared) - What's wrong?
It's so delicious.
- Finally! - What is she gonna do?
Now Chef Sam can wipe off his sweat.
This time she's trying the peaches, pumpkin and the conch.
With the sauce!
(She's so mesmerized)
It's that good?
- The pumpkin tastes like fruit! - Oh! Tastes like fruit.
Is it special just like how you are?
Exactly.
Exactly...
The combination of the fish, the pumpkin and the fruit...
what should I say...it's like they intermarried.
Oh, I see.
Yes, I was amazed by the taste of the pumpkin.
You said you were going to dance for us if they are delicious.
Oh, we must see that.
But you'll lose your appetite if you see it.
No, no. Please dance for us.
(Original dancing queen's 'Shy Shy Shy Dance')
I was with my friends - shy, shy, shy.
(Shy, Shy, Shy)
(A cute adorable dance of a housewife who's been married for 3 years now)
When she was doing this part, it feels a bit different from how Twice looked.
Reminded me of Boxer Ali.
(What did you say?)
(I'm very sorry...)
Okay, everyone will try now.
First, we'll try Chef Yoo's 'Let's Make Some Jungbyeong'.
- Okay, we'll try now. - Yes, yes.
Oh, I see.
- Now you know why you need the pickled cucumbers, right? - Yes, right.
It's very important.
The cucumbers are like adding to the whole.
It's very strong.
I've never tasted anything like this before.
This is not bean noodles. It's not just normal noodles. It's not cold noodles.
You could make a whole menu out of this.
She said she doesn't really like meat. So I didn't use any meat.
Oh...
Originally, if you add some chicken to it,
it will be very nutritious food that will revive your energy.
This time, we'll try Chef Sam's 'I Only Need The Sauce')
Oh, the smell.
You have to eat it with pumpkin.
With the pumpkin? All right.
I didn't know you could make this kind of dish only with vegetables.
Wow.
Personally, I think the sauce is too good that it's overshadowing other ingredients.
I think the sauce stands out too much.
When I tried this one, I remembered the taste of the cucumbers.
But this one, it's really delicious but...
I'm not sure what to say about it.
I feel actually opposite of what he's thinking.
I like that I can taste all the ingredients.
I can sense the sweet taste and I could taste the olive oil, pumpkin and peaches.
Intermarriage, how nice.
Oh, intermarriage...
Of course that's the part you'd focus on.
It's bitter, sweet and sour at the same time.
(Very witty)
- Now you must choose. - This is gonna be so hard.
Oh, gosh.
Number 1 is Chef Yoo's 'Let's Make Some Junbyeong'.
Number 2 is Chef Sam's 'I Only Need The Sauce'.
- Gosh! - She pressed it!
The sauce for my moth! Special just like me!
I wonder if Chef Sam will get his consecutive fifth victory
and protect the reputation of our program!
Or will Chef Yoo get the victory, with encouragement from his daughters?
Please show us the result!
The sauce for my moth! Special just like me!
Please show us the result!
Which one was more special?
(Chef Sam Kim - Winner)
(Chef Sam's 'I Only Need The Sauce' - Winner)
Chef Sam won!
Chef Sam won against Chef Yoo!
So I wanted a special sauce, right?
I think Chef Yoo's dish more of a soup than a sauce.
Oh.
It was really delicious!
But I think I needed Chef Sam's sauce more.
I see
More than anything, I'm glad that I saved our chefs from getting fired.
(Good job, Sam Kim!)
I'm glad that I was able to protect our reputation.
And I'm very honored that I was able to cook with Chef Yoo today.
I don't regret anything. Chef Sam's dish was simply amazing.
Alright, alright.
Wouldn't your daughters be disappointed?
- A bit. - Seung-yeon and Jung-yeon were probably watching...
If I run into them at the broadcasting company, I'll take them to a nice restaurant.
(You're the best, Ji-young!)
Alright.
Ji-young, our dad's dish wasn't good enough?
What is she gonna do?
(So frustrating)
If our special chef was like a father of my soccer co-player, I'd have chosen him!
You guys are so mean!
Congratulations!
We'll give you the badge.
Why do you have to make me put it on him?
You have to put it on for him.
5 consecutive victories!
You gave the star badge to Chef Sam. And you only left scars to Chef Yoo.

Please dial 080...take good care of the fridge...
It was very bad...
- You should throw this away. - What are we gonna do?
It will affect your brain and could result in dementia...
This is so sad.
He's tearing up. He's tearing up.
You gotta break the rules!
I want them to cook in 10 minutes.
The 4 chefs must get it done in just 10 minutes.
There's no way.
Okay, in 10 minutes!
What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do?
It's hectic back here.
You don't have time for that!
There's no time! Four! Three! Two! One!
Time's up!
It's done, it's over!
Isn't it too hot?
(It's right in front of him but he can't eat it...)
