The project that turns your leftovers...
into an amazing dish!
The best chefs in Korea will take care of your fridge.
A classy cooking talk show! Take Care...
- My Fridge. - My Fridge.
It's good to see you.
Let me introduce the eight chefs...
that have become a hot issue in 2015.
(The 8 hot chefs of 2015)
A survey of jobs desired to children and teenagers showed...
that a chef was one of the top choices.
Especially, to middle school girls,
it was ranked the third most desired job...
after celebrities and doctors.
Does that mean they want to become chefs...
or they want to marry chefs?
- They want to become chefs. - Either way,
- it has nothing to do with you. - I was just curious.
Webcomic artists didn't make the cut.
You'll have to work harder.
Everything you do...
makes an impact on growing children,
so I believe you should have a sense of responsibility.
Reporter Park Joon Woo, stop going clubbing.
(Clubbing?)
- That's right. - What are you talking about?
- Last week, - Last week?
he asked me to go to Daegu with him.
Daegu?
Sit down, sit down.
- Stop it. - All right.
(Joon Woo gets anxious.)
The young generation is watching.
I didn't go to Daegu.
You didn't? That's a shame.
- I forgot to call you. - Yes, you did.
Because he feels intimidated.
He feels intimidated by Mikhal.
I can see that cooking has become popular.
I've even seen many cultural events...
trying to collaborate with cooking.
I was invited to several of them.
The food at clubs have become upgraded recently.
(Captain Bulgaria attacks Joon Woo.)
He gulps his water.
Chef Mikhal has been often seen...
at events as well.
He's the Park Hyun Bin of chefs.
(Mikhal, Park Hyun Bin of chefs?)
That's the rumors I heard.
I did several outdoor barbecues.
- Is that so? - Yes, like festivals.
You don't make much money through this show,
but those events pay well, don't they?
Yes.
(Even Captain Bulgaria has a hard time turning down opportunities.)
That was what he was after.
(We missed you both.)
Today's guests...
are not female,
but they are...
Hurry up and introduce them.
Whom do we have today?
(The guest's refrigerator)
(It is taken to the studio.)
(Another refrigerator)
(This one is also taken to the studio.)
(Who are the owners of these refrigerators?)
(Let's find out.)
(Take Care of My Fridge)
(Whom do we have today?)
There they are. Here are today's guests.
(Today's guests are pleasing to the eye.)
They are charming and women want to date them.
It's Ha Seok Jin and Kim Young Kwang.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
(He isn't too excited.)
- Hi. - Hi.
- It's been a while. - Have a seat.
I thought Seok Jin was tall, but Young Kwang is taller.
Yes.
Hyun Seok looks ugly today.
He looks ugly.
He has never felt like this before.
I'll introduce our first guest.
He is a core member of the model Avengers.
- He's the Iron man. - Right.
He's also a great actor and has broad shoulders.
It's actor Kim Young Kwang.
(It's actor Kim Young Kwang, who has broad shoulders.)
Quiet.
This is great.
Hi, I'm Kim Young Kwang. It's nice to meet you.
It's an honor to have you here.
Thank you.
He usually plays the role of directors...
because of his smart and gentle image.
However, he's easygoing and down-to-earth once you know him.
It's the charming actor Ha Seok Jin.
Welcome.
(The cheering isn't coming from the audience.)
All right.
They're going crazy.
Hi, I'm Ha Seok Jin. Nice to meet you.
Today, everyone is very...
(They look very solemn.)
You look shy.
I didn't realize how big Sam's face was.
(They suddenly realize something new.)
Me neither.
Do you and Young Kwang...
know each other? How did you end up on the show together?
We did know each other,
but weren't very close.
We're getting to know each other better while doing a drama together.
- You're very handsome. - I agree.
Do you two often get drinks together?
I heard that Young Kwang...
can hold his liquor.
So I challenged him.
- It wasn't a challenge. - You must be strong too.
He didn't have strong tolerance.
(What?)
Men are show offs like this.
You're right. Men always want to win.
Do you watch this show?
Yes, I watched it when Kyu Han was on the show.
Lee Kyu Han?
Yes, he made the food look good when he was eating it.
I really wanted to be on the show...
and try the food.
Thankfully, I got the chance.
One thing I realized...
is that Young Kwang smiles a lot while talking.
- Women must love that. - You're right.
He'd make women's hearts skip a beat.
I told you he's the actor most women in the 20s want to date.
- Right. - Right.
However, they're dating someone like Reporter Park.
(The boyfriend in reality is someone like Joon Woo.)
You're right. Anyway, as I mentioned earlier,
I heard there is a model Avengers.
Sung Jun, Woo Bin,
Lee Soo Hyuk, Hong Jong Hyun and I...
have a group of fans.
They cut our faces and pasted it into the movie poster.
- I see. - Take Care of My Fridge...
has a group of Avengers too. Sam Thor, Captain Bulgaria...
- That's right. - We even have Hulk.
Yes, we do.
He's Hulk Chan Oh. It's perfect.
So we have the chef Avengers.
- We should form a group. - How tall are you?
I'm 188 cm.
You're taller than Hyun Seok.
- I'm 190 cm. - I see.
He looks taller than I am because he's proportioned well.
Hyun Seok fits clothes nicely. He's the Kim Young Kwang of chefs.
I think he's as good as Young Kwang.
Why don't you two strike a pose in the center of the stage?
Let's take this opportunity to watch them.
(He has selfishly long legs.)
(He walks confidently.)
(Come on.)
(Chef Bluff goes next.)
(He looks proud.)
(Watch me.)
(This is what a show off he is.)
(Laughing)
(He couldn't be any more shameless.)
(He owns the stage.)
(This isn't a sight we want to see.)
(Decadent beauty)
(Mikhal, the handsomest chef, takes his turn.)
(He flashes the peace sign with a bright smile.)
(Putting on a serious look)
(The surprising catwalk of the legion of chefs)
Hyun Seok was just as good.
That's right. My goodness.
Do you both live alone?
- Yes. - They're single and live alone.
I'm sure there are habits you picked up while living alone.
You get bored when you're alone for a long time.
- Yes. - I often talk to myself.
- I see. - I watch commercials on TV...
and answer to what they say.
That's so childish.
If they say, "Would you like to buy this?", you'd say "No".
(It's childish and sad.)
I'm not as bored if I do that.
I see.
I hope your refrigerator looks all right.
- Do you have any frogs? - No.
- I didn't see any. - Okay.
They could fabricate something.
You'll see something in the news next week.
(Nervous)
Let's take a look inside Young Kwang's refrigerator!
Let's see.
(What is in his refrigerator?)
(What is in Young Kwang's refrigerator?)
(Marveling)
There is a lot of stuff even though he's a model.
Right.
I see drinks on the top shelf.
- It's for hangovers. - Since he drinks often.
There's a lady here.
(Lady?)
- This one is different. - Lady?
This is for men.
And this is for women.
The convenience store was selling 3 for the price of 2.
I could choose either one and wanted to try different drinks.
- But it says it's for ladies. - Yes.
(Did he really buy it for himself?)
This is just the beginning.
(They decide to go easy on him.)
I see some beer.
Look at that.
- What is that? - It's about to burst.
It's cheese.
(It's cheese, but about to explode.)
(It's full of air.)
It's about to explode.
It should be wrapped tightly around the cheese.
- Are you Yoon Bong Gil? - Goodness.
That's practically a biochemical weapon.
Throw that away immediately for me.
(He throws the cheese bomb.)
(Surprised)
(The weak Joon Woo...)
(and soft Big Baby are all surprised.)
(The biochemical weapon shocks the legion of chefs.)
They would normally catch it, but no one caught it.
- I'll throw this out. - Yes, please.
I found something in the next shelf.
Do you buy this much bread at once?
- You know wholesale markets? - Yes.
If you go there,
you can't buy it in small portions. You have to buy it in bulk.
- That's why. - You must have membership.
- Yes. - That's impressive.
- Not anyone can become a member. - No.
You can buy the membership for 30 dollars.
- Sausages. - Look how big the pack is.
(He buys huge packs of ham.)
People that have membership are different.
- They buy everything in bulk. - Yes, they do.
You must love sausages.
(There are sausages here too.)
There are more here...
- and here. - He must love sausages.
He must have the palate of a kid.
Were you deprived of it when you were young?
I like buying two of everything.
You do? Why?
One doesn't feel like enough.
Do you always need to pair things up?
No, not really.
I feel like I'll eat it too quickly if I only have one.
- Look at these face masks. - Yes.
He has a variety.
Many people get caught because of face masks.
Look at this.
This is for women.
(Female face masks?)
This is a brand for women.
I see.
Let's turn a blind eye.
I saw criticizing comments that...
we corner our guests for nothing.
Let's turn a blind eye.
They think we're unreasonable.
- We aren't that unreasonable. - No.
We'll cut it down a notch.
Why did you buy so many of these?
It's from the wholesale market.
I see. You bought it in bulk.
- Yes. - I can tell his style.
He likes to buy a lot at once...
and a variety of it.
It's no fun, since we aren't trying to pry anything out of him.
You're right.
People criticize us if we are too hard on the guests,
but it's no fun if we go easy on them.
We could interrogate him if the viewers would let us.
Should we ask for their understanding?
What about this?
- Is it for you? - Yes.
I got burned in the summer.
I see.
- I used it. - Do you apply it yourself?
- Of course. - Stop it.
We're going to see a bunch of criticizing comments.
I ask for your understanding.
It's because we don't have anything else to say.
I'm sorry.
What's this?
- What's this? - It's aloe vera.
It must have a different use.
That one's a lotion and this is gel.
- Gel. - I see.
Men don't usually use gel.
- That's right. - This is what I'd usually say.
It's what I wish I could say.
This is frustrating.
It's so frustrating.
This must be ice cream.
- It looks delicious. - Right?
Do you buy this?
I see something.
This time it's real.
We aren't being unreasonable. There's really something here.
My fans gave it to me.
(Wait.)
(Did they really find something?)
Of course it's a fan.
(They are on to something.)
What is it?
(Sighing)
It's on a flyer for loans.
Read it for them.
- This isn't us. - We aren't making this up.
We aren't adding anything. Read exactly as it is written.
"Young Kwang,"
"see you later at the Han River near Jamsil."
"Be there. I have something to tell you."
"You have to eat this quickly."
It's a fan from China.
Let's see. "Be there. I have something to tell you."
- Something to say? - What did she say?
I didn't open that.
She might still be waiting for you.
(This is the sad legend about the Han River.)
It happened sometime after June 8, 2015.
She's been waiting for two months and a half.
She must be sunburned.
This is recent.
Fans don't tell you...
where they will be waiting.
It must be the same place they met before.
- You're right. - It's the same place.
That's right.
The Han River by Jamsil is a wide area,
but she means the place they met before.
- Right. - I think...
we'll see a news article saying that he's dating a Chinese model.
Many actors are dating Chinese actresses lately.
Yes, like Song Seung Heon and Liu Yifei.
That's right.
Make our show more interesting.
What do you think about this, Seok Jin?
It's suspicious.
Did you hear that?
Look at what's written.
You can't deny this.
That's enough. Close the refrigerator.
(Will it end like this?)
What more do we have to see?
The rest is similar to what everyone else has.
Hurry up and name things.
This must be bulgogi.
My mom divides it into single portions for me.
Now, even that sounds suspicious.
I know.
(They become suspicious of everything and everyone.)
- Mom... - I see something in the back.
- Tail. - Tail.
It's beef bone soup. I bought that.
Who wrote this?
(He takes the ice cream out again.)
An employee at the restaurant.
- It wasn't your mom? - No.
The handwriting looks similar to this person's.
- The handwriting? - Yes.
(Is the ox tail soup from the Chinese model?)
- The "r" looks similar. - Is it same person?
The "r" looks similar.
- Wait. - Yes?
The Chinese often cook soup with lamb.
Yes, that's right.
Koreans don't make lamb bone soup.
Aren't those entrails, not lamb?
Let's just corner him.
All right, let's do it.
Be quiet, Park Joon Woo.
Okay.
The "k" on the soup...
and the "k" in the note look similar.
It's the same.
- You can't deny this. - We aren't making this up.
We aren't making this up. Look at this.
- You're right. - The "k" on the soup...
- and the "k" in the note. - They look the same.
We'll let the viewers make the conclusion.
This is something huge.
It's abalone.
It's huge.
- You had some clams. - You also have tile fish.
I made sujebi at home...
and thought it'd taste better with clams.
- This is steak. - Yes.
It isn't easy to cook this because it's thick.
I use butter.
I cook it slowly over low heat.
I'll tell you what's better.
Cook the surface to a crisp in olive oil...
and leave the middle undercooked. That will be savorier.
If you want to use butter, add it in the end.
Put a spoonful in the pan right before you take the steak out.
All right. That's enough for now.
That note is interesting.
(They still don't know the truth about the note.)
- It's weird. - That was Young Kwang's fridge.
- All right. - Why does...
Seok Jin look more nervous?
(He feels like it was his own refrigerator being raided.)
Please show us what he wants to eat.
Food that is like natural herbal tonic...
and something he can cook within 10 minutes.
Something he can cook within 10 minutes.
We shouldn't give you 15 minutes today.
We'll cook something with his ingredients.
This is quite surprising.
I'm sorry,
but I thought it would be more interesting with a time limit.
(I'm hoping for a faster and more furious cook-off.)
That's why you took five minutes off the original time limit?
Yes.
- That's impossible. - This is a first.
For the first time,
Young Kwang shortened the time limit by five minutes.
He wants to eat something cooked within 10 minutes.
Do you ever need to cook within 10 minutes?
I guess...
when you bring someone over, but she doesn't look sure.
(Laughing)
When you need to get her to stay.
When you need to cook for her before she changes her mind.
(When you need to cook for her before she changes her mind.)
That's right.
- That's right. - This is exciting.
- You're right. - That's the purpose.
What do you mean by food that is like natural herbal tonic?
We often have energy drinks...
during shoots.
You get more tired when you go home.
I wanted to cook something that would boost...
my energy when I'm alone at home.
- Something healthy? - Yes.
All right.
Let's see who will be cooking to meet these requirements.
Seed one.
Sam Kim, who won 11 times.
(Seed one, Chef Sam Kim)
Seed 2, Choi Hyun Seok, who won 10 times.
It's them two again?
Seed 3, Mikhal, who won 9 times.
(Seed three, Chef Mikhal)
Seed four, Lee Chan Oh, who hasn't won yet.
- He lost all the cook-offs. - That's right.
Sam Kim, Choi Hyun Seok, Mikhal and Lee Chan Oh.
These four were selected.
This is the first time I've had the most stars.
- You're right. - That's right.
It's because two chefs aren't here.
He had us line up in the waiting room.
Everyone, line up.
Everyone who has less stars than I do, line up.
Right.
The mouse is playing when the cat is away.
That's right.
You have one more than Hyun Seok.
I wonder which dish he will choose.
I think it would be hard to cook within 10 minutes.
(The chef that is ranking number 1 shows weakness.)
Of course.
I'll cook something that is like natural herbal tonic.
- Natural herbal tonic. - Natural herbal tonic.
Sam Kim will be cooking.
What about Hyun Seok?
Let's see.
I'll show you how fast chefs have to cook.
Yes?
I'll cook something within 10 minutes.
Hyun Seok likes a good challenge.
He will cook something within 10 minutes.
Mikhal has to choose next.
Mikhal has actually beaten Hyun Seok.
That's right. He won 3 times and lost once.
(1 win 3 losses, 3 wins 1 loss)
That's right. When Mikhal and Sam Kim competed,
Sam beat him more often.
You won 3 times and lost once.
- That's true. - Yes.
Since I always lost to Sam Kim,
I'll compete with him again.
He will try to redeem his reputation.
Mikhal will compete against Sam Kim...
and Lee Chan Oh will cook something within 10 minutes.
I think this will be interesting.
Are you okay with this, Chan Oh?
(Laughing)
Do you have something to laugh about?
I just feel dazed.
(The pressure of 10 minutes feels like 10 seconds.)
- What will he be able to cook? - We'll see.
Chan Oh will actually have to cook in eight minutes.
It takes him two minutes to change gloves.
That's right. It's set then.
Sam Kim and Mikhal will be competing...
with dishes that are like natural herbal tonic.
You can go to Young Kwang's refrigerator...
and choose your ingredients.
(It's time to choose the ingredients.)
Will Mikhal be able to redeem his reputation by beating Sam?
We'll see. He took some beer out.
He's going to use beer to cook a healthy dish.
(What kind of dish will he cook with dark beer?)
Okay.
(Chef Mikhal chose...)
(beef tenderloin, camembert cheese,)
(dried cranberries, cream cheese,)
(bay leaves, braised potatoes, ham, and dark beer.)
(Chef Sam Kim chose potatoes, milk, ham,)
(abalones, and clams.)
- Mikhal? - The dish I will cook today is...
Power Beer Roll.
Power Beer Roe?
- Roll. - Roll?
I see, Power Beer Roll.
Yes, I will flatten out the tenderloin,
add ham, egg, cheese, and cranberries,
roll it and grill it.
- You will grill it? - I'll use beer for the sauce.
(Dark beer sauce?)
Dark beer is full of vitamins and minerals.
It is also high in calories. It's good for you.
I'll boil it to lose alcohol and keep the good components.
It'll be delicious and help boost your energy.
I look forward to seeing this dish.
The dish I will cook today is...
Young Kwang's Clams.
Young Kwang's Clams. All right.
Clams are good for fatigue recovery.
I'll make a chowder with the clams.
- What? - A chowder.
- Chowder? - Chowder?
- Yes, it's a thick soup. - A thick soup.
It's better with whipped cream, but he doesn't have any,
so I'll use milk to cook a light type...
of chowder.
Mikhal, you often lost to Sam Kim.
Do you think you can win today?
Yes, the small stars always fall off.
It's annoying, so I'm going to change it into a medal.
(He wants to win another star and exchange it for a medal.)
You want the 10th star.
All right.
We will now begin the cook-off...
for dishes that are like natural herbal tonic.
It's Chef Mikhal, who emphasizes naturalism,
and Chef Sam Kim, the saint of Take Care of My Fridge.
Will Mikhal be able to break his bad luck...
and beat Sam Kim?
The cook-off for a dish like natural herbal tonic begins now.
(The 15-minute cook-off begins.)
We hope you will cook something...
that is filling and will help boost his energy in 15 minutes.
The dish Mikhal explained sounds like it'd be better for stamina.
That's right. Sam Kim looks tired.
Yes.
Sam Kim is making vegetable stock like he always does.
That's the base of his cooking.
He always starts with chopping vegetables.
Anyone who watches the show...
will know how to make...
- Sam Kim's vegetable broth. - That's right.
(Using his strength to crush garlic)
(Cleans the clams)
He added clams to the pan.
He's cooking his main ingredient.
He said he'll use clams and abalone.
Clams and garlic.
- It already looks delicious. - Yes, it does.
Many of our viewers...
have been waiting to see Mikhal.
That's right.
He hasn't been on the show for a long time.
That's right, he's a chef who emphasizes naturalism.
(Flatten out beef tenderloin with a meat pounder.)
He's flattening the meat out with a pounder.
He'll make that into a roll.
- A roll. - As it is?
Yes, since it's too think to roll it as it is.
I see.
(Season the meat with salt and pepper.)
He took out the camembert cheese.
- Is he going to add cheese? - Yes.
In France, they use beef and brie.
(He places cheese on the flattened beef.)
You normally use beef and brie.
Brie and camembert are similar.
He's using camembert, since Young Kwang had it.
I see.
Reporter Joon Woo knows so many things.
Is that knowledge useful in Daegu?
Yes, it's useful at clubs.
- I see. - You admit it.
Come clean now.
What are you placing on top?
- They are cranberries. - Cranberries.
(Place cranberries, cream cheese,)
(and camembert cheese on meat and roll it.)
(Keep it in place with toothpicks)
(Grills it in a pan with cloves of garlic)
It looks like it would boost your energy.
That's right. You could see the cook-off between...
Mikhal and Sam as a battle of meat and seafood.
Which do you prefer, Young Kwang?
- Meat. - Meat?
Mikhal has an advantage.
Will he be able to boost his energy with clams?
All he'll be able to do is wiggle his body.
That's right.
Clams will be just enough for him to wiggle his body.
(He cuts the vegetables for the chowder.)
(Mince onion, potato, and green onion)
(Sam takes out ham.)
(Cooks ham in oil)
Are you making a side dish?
Are you making a side for him?
- That looks delicious. - Fry an egg.
- Fry an egg. - You need a fried egg.
You also need aged kimchi.
(Add vegetables to the pan,)
(season with salt and pepper,)
(and stir fry it.)
(Take the ham out)
Why did you only cook two pieces of ham?
I'm not going to use the ham,
but just the smoked flavor of it.
(He just uses it to add flavor to the vegetables.)
He isn't using the ham.
Then give it to me.
Yes, give it to us.
No wonder he didn't coat it with egg.
That's right. He's just using the smoky flavor of ham.
(Add clams to the pan and cook it with the vegetables.)
(Put butter in pan and make a roux with flour.)
He's using butter and flour to make a roux...
to control the thickness of the chowder later.
(Mix the roux and vegetable stock and pour it into a pan.)
Sam Kim is using...
- vegetable stock. - That looks delicious.
(Add milk and boil it.)
Look at that.
- He's doing it with his hands. - He's using his hands.
(Take grilled garlic out.)
(Mikhal uses the ham too.)
Look at him using the end of the knife.
That's right.
He sprinkles the ham over the roll.
What did you just add?
- I think it's sugar. - Is it sugar?
He doesn't have time to heat a pan,
so he's doing two things with one pan.
He just sprinkled sugar on one side of the pan.
- I see. - That's smart.
He's cooking 2 things on 1 pan.
I think he's looking for flour.
He's going to use that to make sauce.
He can make a sauce with that?
Yes.
(Pop)
(He adds dark beer, the main ingredient of the sauce.)
He is finally using the beer.
He adds quite a lot of the beer.
Can you use draft beer?
It's okay if you have dark draft beer.
It's good to use dark beer for sauces because of its flavor.
If you use light draft beer,
it'll give off a tart flavor.
(Add bay leaves and honey to the sauce.)
- He covered the pan. - That's interesting.
This is something I've never seen before by Mikhal from Bulgaria.
You have less than five minutes left.
Where did the time go?
I'll go up to the chefs.
It's a cook-off between the two innocent chefs.
Sam has a better score so far.
Will Mikhal be able to redeem his reputation?
(He opens the lid.)
(Marveling)
- It is almost complete. - Why don't you try the sauce?
- Should I? - It's beer sauce.
Power Beer Roll.
What do you think? Do you feel energized?
It's slightly sweet. It's good.
(Marveling)
It works as a sauce.
It has a deep flavor and scent.
Can you try the clam broth?
The broth? This one?
- Can you taste it? - This?
I'll try it.
What do you think?
It's bland.
(He checks right away.)
I don't think it's ready yet.
It's bland, but you're going to do more with it, right?
Don't let him confuse you.
Yes, he's going to season it.
When I monitor our show,
- Yes? - I realize...
the chefs value Seong Ju's opinion.
(Feeling guilty)
Right?
As soon as you said it's bland, he adds something.
When you're tight on time and he says that, you have to season it.
When he says it's salty, you add water.
- I found myself doing that. - That's right.
- Seong Ju. - Yes?
- Can you try the ham? - The ham.
(Laughing)
The side dish.
- Can I eat this? - Yes.
All right.
This is the best side for lunch boxes.
- What do you think? - Does it taste like ham?
He should use this as his dish.
I think you'd win with this.
Why don't you use this?
Sam,
this is delicious.
You should go with this.
I took his word and now it's salty.
It became salty.
(He quickly uses vegetable stock to adjust the taste.)
You have three more minutes.
You have 3 minutes 30 seconds left.
(He takes out the braised potatoes made by Young Kwang's mom.)
(Heat braised potatoes in microwave.)
(He takes the nicely cooked tenderloin roll out of the pan.)
(He takes the toothpicks out.)
(Cut tenderloin roll into bite-sized pieces and plate it.)
(Add butter to sauce and pour over tenderloin roll.)
Look at that.
(They are mesmerized.)
Mikhal.
He is determined today.
People that like beer would love this dish.
You have 1 minute and 15 seconds left.
1 minute and 15 seconds left.
Sam is cleaning the abalones.
(Grill sliced abalone and bread.)
(He takes the potatoes out of the microwave.)
(Use potatoes as garnish.)
- Look at that. - That's impressive.
- It looks like dark beer. - The plating looks nice.
- Impressive. - 20 seconds.
You have 17 seconds left.
You have 17, 15 seconds left.
What are you going to do with the bread? Mikhal is done.
What are you going to do with the bread?
10, 9, 8...
(Sam pours the clam chowder in a bowl.)
(The time is almost up.)
(Pour clam chowder in bowl and place abalone and bread on top.)
(Oh, no.)
- 2, 1. - The bread.
- That's it. - Time is up.
Stop, stop.
(He sneaks in some olive oil.)
- Stop! - Ring the bell.
Ring it.
(He uses a bit more time and the chowder is ready.)
Time is up.
The healthy dishes are ready.
- Which looks better? - Which visually looks better?
(The Power Beer Roll)
All right.
He prefers meat over seafood.
Before you taste it,
this may sound like I'm bragging,
but executive members...
of SRG, a Swiss public broadcaster,
are here today...
to watch our show.
That's right.
It's a state-run TV network.
Where are you?
Hi.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Hi, guys. - I love you.
Can you translate, Joon Woo?
Ask them which looks better?
(Which will the executives from the Swiss broadcaster choose?)
(This one.)
He said Mikhal's dish.
No.
Mikhal's looks better so far.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - All right.
(Healthy tenderloin roll with dark beer sauce)
(Mikhal's Power Beer Roll)
- Is that one bite? - Yes, I think it'll fit.
He'll try it in one bite.
- Oh, yes. - Did you take the toothpick out?
Yes.
(He puts a cranberry on top of the roll.)
Young Kwang just said, "Oh, yes".
(It disappears into his mouth.)
It disappeared into his mouth.
(How does it taste?)
Is it tough?
No?
It's really good.
(Smiling)
He said it's good.
He looks like a little kid.
He marveled at the taste like a little kid.
It's like seeing him meet his crush for the first time.
(It's like he just met his crush for the first time.)
His face broke into a smile.
You're right.
It's really good.
(Impressive)
His wife would love it...
if he says that about her cooking.
Then she'd cook nothing else but that.
Do you think so? You're right.
I can see cheese in it.
(He takes another huge bite.)
When he added the potatoes,
I thought it might be salty...
because my mom already seasoned it.
But it's very delicious together.
Does it go well with cream cheese?
It goes so well together that...
I can't tell where the beef ends and where the cheese begins.
(It's such a great combination that they seem like one ingredient.)
You wanted a natural herbal tonic. Does it boost your energy?
Yes, I think so.
- It boosts his energy. - This is the happiest moment.
It's the happiest moment during today's shoot.
It's made of ingredients in your refrigerator.
- Look at him. - He finished the whole plate.
You don't need to do the dishes.
He finished it.
Don't chefs feel proud when they lick the plate clean?
You must feel good.
Thank you for the food.
(The Power Beer Roll helped boost his energy.)
He finished the Power Beer Roll.
(A chowder with plenty of abalone and clams for his stamina)
(It's a healthy seafood dish.)
(Sam's Young Kwang's Clams)
(He puts the clam chowder on bread.)
Is that how you're supposed to eat it?
You can eat it separately or with the bread.
- That looks delicious too. - I think it'll taste good.
It's Young Kwang's Clams.
He tilted his head to the side.
He did it without knowing it.
He tilted his head to the side.
He's wondering what it is.
(His thoughts are clearly displayed on his face.)
He doesn't understand the dish.
He's being nice, but he's thinking it doesn't taste good.
You're right. He doesn't seem to like it.
It could taste different if you try it without the bread.
That's right. Put the bread down.
It has clams and abalone in it. It's Young Kwang's Clams.
(He tries just the clam and abalone.)
(He remains silent for a long time.)
(Laughing)
(Young Kwang can't hide his feelings.)
He is a bad liar.
(He carefully holds the bowl.)
Are you done already?
(Come on.)
It's delicious,
but I think I taste...
a hint of fishiness at the end.
- Is that so? - At the end.
It has the fishy flavor of clams.
Have some ham.
(He looks embarrassed as if Poong read his mind.)
Why don't you try the ham?
Take it with your fork.
(This is the first time ham is served during a cook-off.)
How does the ham taste?
(Nods)
(Ham always tastes good.)
He likes ham.
Ham tastes better.
- Yes. - Let's try it as well.
Let's start with Mikhal's Power Beer Roll.
(That smells good.)
That smell.
- I told you. - It's so savory.
The second roll was overcooked.
(Everyone marvels as they smell the roll.)
How does dark beer become such a good sauce?
It's bitter and sweet.
(Nodding)
- It's delicious. - The beef is tender.
It's not just the taste of beef and cheese,
but the beer gives it the flavor of grain.
- He looks sexy. - He describes it well.
The flavor of grain.
It isn't greasy, and it's like eating carbs.
I think the sauce balances it out very well.
Does it boost your energy?
I believe it will as it digests.
I'm not a fan of beer,
but this makes me want to drink beer.
It's a strong flavor that men would like.
- Don't you think so? - That's the beer.
The tenderloin is tender...
although it was cooked well-done.
The cheese also gives it a soft texture.
The flavor of grain from the sauce perfects it.
Stop using other people's expressions.
Anyway, he used dark beer for the sauce, which is bitter.
However, he caramelized sugar in the beginning.
That gives it a smoky flavor.
He also added honey,
which helped control the bitterness.
- Mikhal is a great cook. - Yes, he is.
Next is Sam's dish.
It's his Young Kwang's Clams.
(Everyone tries it.)
I wonder if it's seasoned well.
(He smiles in satisfaction.)
It's good.
(It's delicious.)
It's really good.
(They have a totally different opinion about it.)
It's good.
- It isn't fishy to me. - Me neither.
What do you think, Seok Jin?
Impressive.
I thought nothing could beat the Power Beer Roll.
but I like this better.
It's like I went over a hill.
The flavor made me forget about the roll.
I was biased because of what Young Kwang said.
That's right, and because he didn't finish it.
I thought it wouldn't taste good, but it's impressive.
It has a very clean taste of clams.
It's as if...
I'm living in a clam.
Are you the pearl in the clam?
Yes, it feels like I'm in a clam.
He's in the clam.
The reason Young Kwang said that...
is because this much clam isn't normally used in clam chowder.
He didn't have much time,
so he used a lot of clams for a stronger flavor.
I think that's why he felt like it had a fishy taste.
More than anything, he used a lot of clams,
so it feels like I'm living in a clam.
Why are you copying everyone else's expressions today?
He's using all the expressions that sound good to him.
Young Kwang is the one who makes the decision.
That's right.
Press 1 to vote for Chef Mikhal and 2 to vote for Chef Sam Kim.
Press the button if you made up your mind.
I pressed the button.
- Did you? - He pressed the button.
He pressed the button. It's Mikhal against Sam Kim.
They have competed against each other again.
Will Sam Kim be able to win another star...
or will Mikhal redeem his reputation?
Show us the result.
Young Kwang's choice is...
- Mikhal. - Mikhal.
(The Power Beer Roll wins.)
- Mikhal won. - Mikhal won.
Mikhal's Power Beer Roll wins.
(Young Kwang chose the Power Beer Roll.)
Mikhal was able to redeem his reputation against Sam Kim.
First of all, I'm sorry.
I think...
it didn't fit my taste.
- I see. - It isn't the type of food I like.
It was made of ingredients from your refrigerator.
The beer roll hit the spot.
(It was the perfect dish.)
I was surprised because it was so good when I took a bite.
I'm happy Mikhal won.
- Okay. - Are you truly happy?
- Yes, I am. - Happier than winning?
I would've been a bit happier if I won.
The model is giving another model a star.
Mikhal now has 10 wins.
- Congratulations! - Congratulations!
(Power Beer Roll wins.)
(Power Beer Roll by Chef Mikhal)
(Flatten tenderloin out and season with salt and pepper.)
(Add camembert cheese, cream cheese, cranberries and roll it.)
(Secure with toothpicks and cook in pan with sliced ham.)
(Sprinkle sugar in pan and cook it with olive oil and flour.)
(Add dark beer and boil for sauce, and add bay leaves and honey.)
(Cut into bite-sized pieces and plate.)
(Add butter to sauce and pour over roll when melted.)
(Decorate with heated potatoes.)
This time it will be a cook-off with dishes that can be cooked...
within 10 minutes with ingredients from Young Kwang's refrigerator.
This is the first time ever.
You have to cook within 10 minutes.
That's why Hyun Seok is already wearing his apron.
(Chef Bluff is already wearing his apron.)
It means he's tight on time.
(What?)
He spends at least 20 seconds...
putting his apron on.
That's right. Chan Oh already put his gloves on.
He feels rushed as well.
This is making me nervous. The 10-minute time limit is a 1st.
It's a cook-off between Chef Lee Chan Oh, the slowest chef,
and Chef Choi Hyun Seok, the fastest chef.
(It's time to choose the ingredients.)
(What ingredients will they use to cook within 10 minutes?)
(Chef Hyun Seok chose...)
(dried cranberries, mango pudding,)
(cream cheese, braised potatoes,)
(sausages, and ox tail soup.)
(Chef Chan Oh chose...)
(camembert cheese, beef tenderloin,)
(braised potatoes, ham,)
(and whole grain mustard.)
What will you be cooking?
- The name of my dish is... - Yes?
10-minute Steak is Delicious.
(10-Minute Steak is Delicious.)
- It's delicious. - Of course it's delicious.
What kind of dish is it?
It's steak.
All right.
(All right.)
You can't cook much within 10 minutes.
As long as the sauce is good...
- That's right, it'll be delicious. - Yes, it will be.
It's a steak cooked within 10 minutes.
The dish I will be cooking is 10-Minute Soup.
- Soup? - Kim Young Kwang.
10 minutes is enough to win his heart with food.
Just 10 minutes.
(Embarrassed)
Just 10 minutes.
You need to boil soup for a long time.
Yes, you normally do for a rich flavor.
But I'll do something to quickly create that rich flavor.
- It will have a complex flavor. - A complex flavor.
That's the kind of soup I will make.
How do you feel about cooking within 10 minutes?
For me,
it's always been a battle against myself...
Why are you laughing?
I was trying to be serious.
(It was a bit too much to stand.)
- You're making me lose focus. - He's sharing his thoughts.
Help him focus on his emotions.
(He focuses on his emotions.)
Okay.
I'd say...
You can do better than that.
It's a battle against myself.
This is the first time ever on Take Care of My Fridge.
They have to finish cooking...
within 10 minutes, not 15.
Let's begin the cook-off.
I didn't bring the cranberries.
Too bad, the spotlights have been turned on.
(Struggling)
Stand with your arms crossed.
It's Chef Choi Hyun Seok, who has swift hands,
but always cooks something complex and Chef Lee Chan Oh,
who is so relaxed it makes us nervous.
Will they be able to cook within the time limit?
Let's find out.
The cook-off begins now.
(The 10-minute cook-off begins.)
It's 10 minutes.
You only have a little more than 9 minutes.
(Already?)
The remaining time is 9 minutes.
Hyun Seok is using ox tail soup.
It's because he can't make a broth.
That's right, so he's using ready-made broth.
(Boil the ox tail soup in one pot...)
(and make a roux in another with butter and flour.)
I mixed butter with flour.
It has a savory taste and can control the thickness.
- He's making a roux. - A roux?
- Roux? - Yes.
I've heard of it. He's made it before.
Yes.
- He's moving very quickly. - Yes.
(On the other hand, Chan Oh is taking his time.)
He's taking his time although he only has 10 minutes.
- I know. - Yes, he is still relaxed.
2 minutes have passed and you only have 8 left.
- Two minutes have passed. - That's one-fifth of the time.
- That's right. - Wait.
Why are you cutting so slowly? Hurry up.
(Young Kwang gets nervous and stands up.)
Many people get frustrated...
when they watch Lee Chan Oh cook.
That's right.
It needs to look nice.
Stop answering and cut it.
It doesn't have to look nice.
He's taking his time although he only has 10 minutes.
What is Choi Hyun Seok doing?
(He minces an onion at top speed.)
There is such a huge difference.
He's busy. He's chopping the onion.
(This is happening at the same time.)
People will think Lee Chan Oh is in slow motion.
(It seems as if the camera is filming it in slow motion.)
He has his pace.
He's using flour. He's in a rush.
He's pouring a lot of oil.
He's acting tough.
(Pour plenty of olive oil into pan and grill green onion and ham...)
(with steak seasoned with salt and pepper.)
Chan Oh is using a lot of oil...
to cook a crisp crust.
- I see that's what he is doing. - Yes.
Since it'll take too much time to fully cook it.
I see.
Young Kwang and Seok Jin look nervous.
After giving them a time limit,
he feels bad and watches them from up close.
He put onions in the pan.
(Stir-fry onions in oil.)
(Boil potatoes in ox tail soup.)
(He quickly removes the stick from the sausages.)
Hyun Seok is cutting the sausages.
(Add sausages to the pan with onions and season it with pepper.)
Hyun Seok's hands seem even faster today.
Could you show us anything fancy today?
(Of course)
Of course, he has to show us a thing or two.
He likes to show off even when he's tight on time.
(Take potatoes out of the soup and cook it in the pan.)
Hyun Seok is pouring the soup into the pan.
He's adding a lot of cream cheese.
What is it?
It's salt.
(He fails...)
(to sprinkle it in the pan.)
You sprinkled it everywhere except in the pan.
- That's right. - None of it made it into the pan.
(What's this?)
He did that on purpose.
It was a calculated move.
(Sprinkling salt)
- Nice. - It all went into the pan.
- He did the same thing. - It all went into the pan.
He did that right.
(He pitches a salt fastball.)
(Chef Bluff is surprised at Chan Oh's moves.)
- He shows off. - Baseball has Park Chan Ho,
and the culinary world has Lee Chan Oh.
That was a clean move.
It's as if he were trying to prove something to Hyun Seok.
- He looks surprised. - Yes, he does.
He's surprised.
Chan Oh is still relaxed.
(He starts making the steak sauce.)
(Mix minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, whole grain mustard,)
(and sesame oil to make the sauce.)
I think Chan Oh is making a sauce.
He used soy sauce, sesame oil, and whole grain mustard.
You don't normally mix them together.
Is that so?
(He uses the potatoes.)
He is relaxed.
- He's very relaxed. - He's cutting camembert cheese.
- It's camembert cheese. - You rush to get married.
Why are you so slow when you cook?
He'll get married to his girlfriend after three months of dating.
That's right.
(Mix potatoes, camembert cheese...)
(honey, and sauce.)
- He's plating his dish. - He's plating it.
He's done.
- Who is done? - He just has to grill the steak.
Are you ready?
I'm done.
(This is a surprise.)
(The speed is unbelievable.)
- He has enough time. - Look at that.
Hyun Seok is tight on time.
However, he is calm.
He seems surprised.
Yes, he is surprised.
You don't have much time.
He is using the blender and adds more soup.
4 minutes and 20 seconds left and he starts blending.
He has 4 minutes and 20 seconds left.
You need to turn it.
The blender isn't working.
- He doesn't have time. - I know how he feels.
- You don't even have time. - It's working.
It has to blend nicely.
(He suddenly starts running somewhere.)
Chef Choi Hyun Seok.
(He quickly gets the dried cranberries.)
The cranberries.
- You need to taste it now. - We don't have time.
I'll go and taste it right now.
I'll go to the chefs.
- They only got 10 minutes. - You have 3 minutes left.
Chan Oh is grilling the meat.
They don't have much time.
Look at the steak.
(The steak looks delicious.)
- Look at the steak. - It looks amazing.
Look at the steak.
What should I taste?
Why don't you taste Chan Oh's sauce?
I'll try his sauce. His sauce is...?
What do you think?
It's wonderful.
(Wonderful!)
(Marveling)
(Lee Chan Oh, the new chef,)
(threatens Choi Hyun Seok.)
The sauce is amazing.
How did he make it in so little time?
(Place mango pudding and sprinkle cranberries on top.)
They have 2 minutes and 45 seconds left.
Hyun Seok is starting to plate his dish first.
(Chef Choi Hyun Seok briskly moves around.)
He has his sauce.
Strainer, strainer.
They don't have time. It's down to 2 minutes and 21 seconds.
(He pours the soup through a strainer.)
- He uses a strainer. - Can you taste that?
(Sticks his hand out)
I'll try the soup that is dripping.
What do you think?
It's unbelievable.
(Oh, no.)
(It's a cook-off of twists and counterattacks.)
Hyun Seok never fails to surprise us.
How did he come up with a soup like this?
Chan Oh takes his sauce.
Shouldn't he place it on a plate? It's still on the cutting board.
(My goodness)
He plates his dish.
He has plated his dish.
That is impressive.
He's the best at plating.
He is sifting it through a strainer.
You have 1 minute and 50 seconds left.
(Chan Oh cooks his steak in 8 minutes.)
(Hurray)
Chan Oh is done.
It's just Hyun Seok now.
He's busy. He's still busy now.
Look at how he plated it.
Chan Oh is done, and Hyun Seok has to finish his dish.
Lift your arm, lift your arm.
(Bam)
He has 1 minute and 20 seconds left.
He's pouring the soup.
- He has 40 seconds left. - 40 seconds left.
He poured it in a kettle.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
- Time is up. - Stop.
(The 10-minute soup is ready.)
Hyun Seok's dish is ready...
right on time.
That's amazing.
The 1st ever 10-minute cook-off has come to an end.
It is possible to cook within 10 minutes.
Chef Lee Chan Oh's steak...
and Chef Choi Hyun Seok's soup.
Thank you for cooking despite my unreasonable request.
I'll enjoy the food.
He looks happy.
Chan Oh finished cooking...
with a minute and 50 seconds left.
That means he only used eight minutes.
It felt like I was someone else.
(Laughing)
I feel like I just woke up.
I think it looks good.
(This steak with a unique sauce was cooked within 10 minutes.)
(Chef Chan Oh's 10-Minute Steak is Delicious)
How do you like your steak cooked?
I like it just like this.
(He is satisfied with how the steak is cooked.)
- It's too pretty to ruin. - Lee Chan Oh is...
an artist.
He is very relaxed while cooking.
Look how tender the steak is.
(The steak cuts easily under the knife.)
(Marveling)
How is he supposed to eat it?
Dip it in the sauce with potatoes.
(He dips it in sauce with potatoes...)
(and takes a bite.)
He takes a bite.
The steak must be delicious.
(Amazing)
(Yes!)
- It must be delicious. - He lifted up his knife.
(The 10-Minute Steak is Delicious is really delicious.)
It's really...
(He can't finish his sentence.)
It leaves him speechless.
What kind of sauce is this?
I mixed minced garlic, soy sauce,
sesame oil, honey, and mustard.
(He looks as if he couldn't wish for anything more.)
He looks happy.
(He takes a huge bite.)
It's really good.
This is driving me crazy.
He's enjoying the steak.
What is a good way to cook a steak?
Pan-sear it over very high heat.
Very high heat?
I use the oven or a broiler to cook it after that.
You just grill the crust.
Is it the best steak...
you've ever had?
(How will Chan Oh's steak rank?)
- It's the second or third best. - Second or third best?
Where did you have the best steak?
(Laughing)
The best steak is one I had when I was little.
- I was shocked. - Your first steak.
Yes, when I first had steak.
Whom would you like to share this steak with?
The woman at the Han River?
(The woman who gave you ice cream?)
- No, my mom. - Your mom.
Seok Jin asked me to save some for him.
Is that so?
I'll try it later.
All right.
(The richest soup you can make within 10 minutes)
(Chef Hyun Seok's 10-Minute Soup)
I'll help you with the soup.
- What? - He must be anxious.
No, I'm not anxious.
There's a certain amount he has to pour into it.
He has to pour a certain amount, so he's helping.
(He serves Young Kwang, so he can enjoy it to the fullest.)
He places his hand on him back as if he's at a restaurant.
- This is it. - Look at the color of it.
The soup is amazing.
It was cooked within 10 minutes.
Yes, it was cooked in 10 minutes.
He poured it for Young Kwang.
If you pour it all at once, the pudding will melt.
It doesn't taste good or is any fun if it mixes together.
(He takes a bite...)
(and marvels at the taste.)
(Smiling)
This means everything tastes good except Sam Kim's dish.
- That's right. - Everything except Sam Kim's.
He marvels at it right away.
Is it very different from the soups you're used to?
Yes. How does it taste like this?
How does it taste?
I can taste sausages,
- Okay. - something savory,
- and pudding. - He blended everything.
He blended them.
I can taste sausages and something savory at first.
It's warm and at the end,
I taste the mango pudding spreading through my mouth.
- It has a variety of flavors. - Yes.
It's really good.
(Is this a scene from a drama?)
Seok Jin looks like he's going to cry.
(Laughing)
He was sitting like this.
This must be tough.
- It's really hard. - It's tough.
Let's try the food then.
The pudding might melt in the soup,
so let's try the 10-Minute Soup first.
How can it smell like this when you cooked it...
in 10 minutes?
(Marveling)
It's a complicated taste.
(It's a soup that makes people happy.)
This is like Young Kwang's private life.
(Complicated)
It has a variety of flavors.
It's complicated.
If he learns how to make this,
I think he'll be able to achieve his dreams within 10 minutes.
(Your dream will come true within 10 minutes!)
The base is made with sausages.
Because he used ox tail soup,
it has a rich taste,
whereas it would've been lighter if it were just the sausages.
It's just a soup,
but it tastes like an appetizer...
and dessert at the same time...
when you taste...
the fruity pudding.
It's like an appetizer and dessert.
(The 10-Minute Soup holds a variety of flavors.)
- That's right. - When you eat it together,
you taste what's closer to your body temperature first.
You don't taste the cold part.
When it becomes warmer,
you taste it as well.
That's actually why...
the flavor changes as you eat it.
- That's why it's complicated. - Cooking is science.
- No, it isn't. - All right.
Next, we will try...
Chan Oh's steak.
I don't believe it.
The sauce was unbelievably good.
I didn't know you could make sauce like this.
He made it in eight minutes.
(Marveling)
(They both think it's delicious.)
It's really good.
- I see Seok Jin smiling. - Yes.
I want to keep it in my mouth...
without swallowing it.
Then don't swallow it.
I can't do that to my throat.
What do you think?
I was imagining Western food because it's steak,
but it has a strong Korean taste.
It's also similar to fried chicken in hot pepper sauce.
It has the kick of it.
I don't know which one to vote for.
He mentioned fried chicken in hot pepper sauce,
but I think it tastes like bulgogi and marinated chicken.
I think it's because of the garlic and honey.
It not only looks good,
but also has a taste most people are familiar with.
Young Kwang must be having a hard time deciding.
Have you made up your mind?
- No, not yet. - No, he hasn't.
Press one to vote for Chef Lee Chan Oh...
- and two for Chef Choi Hyun Seok. - That's right.
This is hard.
If you have made up your mind,
press a button please.
(Time to make a decision)
- I pressed the button. - He pressed it.
Will Chan Oh gain his first win today?
It would be his first win...
and it's against Hyun Seok.
If Hyun Seok wins,
he will be ranking number one along with Sam Kim.
Whom has he voted for?
Please show us the result!
It was a cook-off between Chan Oh and Hyun Seok.
Let's see whom Young Kwang voted for.
Choi Hyun Seok!
(10-Minute Soup, Win)
Lee Chan Oh.
(One is sad, and the other is happy.)
Hyun Seok's 10-Minute Soup won.
His soup won.
He's honest.
That's right.
It was very delicious,
but I've never tried anything like this.
It was novel and the taste of the pudding...
lingered in my mouth.
That's why I chose it.
You were unlucky, Chan Oh.
- Although you made a great dish... - That's right.
It was an honor to compete against Chef Hyun Seok,
and I don't care about the result.
I see, but your eyes are teary.
He doesn't care about the result.
You looked tired,
and your eyes are bloodshot.
We have 2 people at number 1.
All the models win today.
All the models did well.
Congratulations on your 11th win.
