- Chef and My Fridge. - Chef and My Fridge.
(Chef and My Fridge)
(Applause)
- Good. - Welcome.
As the spring wind blows
Just like "Cherry Blossom Ending" in spring,
here are the legion of eight chefs on Monday night.
(The legion of 8 chefs that resembles cherry blossom)
- Welcome. - Hello.
Today, we have the final boss of food.
Super food avengers are...
- visiting Chef and My Fridge. - Food avengers?
Let's see...
whom we have today. Please come out.
Here are today's guests.
Super food avengers.
(Today's guests)
- Food avengers. - Shin Dong and Don Spike!
(Sense of kinship)
- Nice to meet you. - Hello.
They're food avengers in the entertainment industry.
Food avengers.
First, the man next to me.
He's in charge of eating in Super Junior.
He's the only heavy weight among current idols.
No one can catch his weight. Shin Dong of Super Junior.
- Nice to meet you. - Hello.
I'm Shin Dong. Hello.
- It's interesting. - Is it?
Yes, because...
I really enjoyed this show when I was in the army.
Really?
After I watched this show,
I bought a lot of frozen food in PX.
- I can't help it. - You can't help it.
They tried...
mixing frozen food...
to create something.
That's the only fun we can have.
You loved Chef and My Fridge even in the army.
He's Shin Dong.
About this man,
he rewrote history...
of eating in Korea by eating the giant steak.
Don from don katsu. Spi from spaghetti.
Ke from steak.
Don Spike.
Super heavy weight in the eating shows.
Introducing...
- Don Spike. - Don Spike!
Don Spike.
(Don Spike)
Nice to meet you.
Hello. I'm Don Spike, a former composer.
- That was good. - "Former."
- That's a past tense. - It's in past tense.
(Composer for variety shows)
It says your name comes from...
don katsu, spaghetti and steak.
Is that correct?
- I think that's correct now. - "Now."
That's not what it meant at first?
It meant completely different.
What did it mean at first?
There's a name Don in Europe.
- Don. - Yes.
I added Spike to look strong.
But that's how people translate it.
I have a story about my name too.
All my members have a stage name.
When we make a stage name,
Lee Soo Man gives us many names.
He asks to pick one among them.
Since I have Dong in my name, and I look round,
he tried to be funny,
- and named me Udon. - "Udon."
- Udon? - It was Udon at first.
- Udon? - Right.
- I said I didn't like it. - Right.
Since I have many talents,
and I'm a good dancer,
he suggested Dongchoon...
- after the famous circus show. - "Dongchoon."
That's a good one.
- Dongchoon circus? - Yes.
- "Dongchoon." - He suggested Dongchoon.
He's mean.
So I asked him...
how about Shin Dong since I have many talents.
He said Shin Dong...
isn't very unique.
He suggested Shin Don to sound funny.
- "Shin Don." - "Shin Don."
Shin Don is...
- a monk. - Yes.
He's in history.
Then Drama "Shindon" was on TV right at the time.
- Really? - So we couldn't use it,
and we decided to use Shin Dong.
(That's how he has the name Shin Dong now.)
I went through many names.
You went through many names...
- to be Shin Dong. - That's right.
Anyway, hearing your name makes me hungry.
That's the name you have.
Don Spike and Shin Dong.
These two people are famous...
for their eating shows.
Especially, Shin Dong named all the fried chicken brands...
on "Men on a Mission".
I was really surprised.
How many fried chickens do you have to eat...
to reach that level?
Isn't it common?
Each brand has their own smell.
- Really? - Don't you know?
- I don't order fried chicken often. - Right.
We don't order every brand.
When you like something,
- you keep ordering that one. - Right.
- You only order one brand? - Yes.
Because you have to collect coupons.
That too.
Isn't it happier to eat various kinds?
And you only need 10 coupons.
You just need 10 days.
Do you eat it every day?
Almost every day.
- Really? - Yes.
- You order... - My mouth is getting watery.
Is it one fried chicken per person from various brands?
What I order isn't one.
Boneless isn't one full chicken.
- Boneless fried chicken. - Almost.
It looks small because they removed bones.
- It's more than one? - Yes.
I order three boneless fried chickens.
(Goodness.)
- Really? - Three?
That's what I order.
I leave some. I don't finish it all.
Isn't it normal to leave some when you order three fried chickens?
You can microwave the leftovers...
- the next day. - Of course.
It's really good for breakfast.
Three fried chickens per person then.
You're such a glutton.
Is it just me? How about you?
- Fried chicken? - You seem like you'd love it.
I never paid my own money for fried chicken in my life.
- Why not? - You don't eat fried chicken?
I hate fried chicken.
(I hate fried chicken.)
- You hate... - I think it wastes a chicken.
- Goodness. It's so good. - How so?
You can't film a fried chicken commercial anymore.
I'm okay with that.
- I don't want it. - Really?
- How about chicken meat? - The whole nation loves it.
- I love chicken meat. - You do love chicken meat.
Honestly, fried chicken isn't meat.
You eat it for crispy batter and oil.
I believe you eat it for the sauce.
- Is that how you see it? - Yes.
I usually pursue the original taste of the ingredient.
I usually eat baeksuk.
- Baeksuk. - You like baeksuk.
Baeksuk is wasting chicken in water.
- It's melted in water. - No.
You're eating the whole chicken in water.
You finish up with chicken porridge.
They have different opinions.
That's have an official urgent discussion.
- "Official." - "Official."
- All of a sudden? - It's an urgent discussion.
Are you supposed to eat chicken...
fried or as baeksuk?
Shin Dong in support of fried chicken.
- Don Spike in support of baeksuk. - Party F and Party B.
- We have these two people. - Let me tell you this first.
Okay.
Fried chicken's going to win.
- What? - Fried chicken's going to win?
Because baeksuk is a la carte.
You have to go to a restaurant, and it takes a long time.
But you can get fried chicken with just one phone call.
You get to eat fried chicken more often.
But that's not always right.
He brings up a problem.
He said many things that ignores fried chicken.
"Baeksuk is a la carte, but fried chicken isn't."
I never said it's not.
- He's making sure. - Please don't take it wrong.
I'm just saying baeksuk is...
a hassle to make.
It needs more time.
Of course. I also believe...
you must eat fried chicken as soon as it's fried.
- Right. - When it's delivered...
I don't think that's right.
Ladies and gentlemen. What kind of nation are we?
- We're the nation of delivery. - Of course.
Why do you think the delivery culture is so developed?
Also, as we said before, baeksuk requires a lot of work.
Also, you actually break down everything...
and dip it in salt.
You're pretty much eating it for salt.
- I can't agree. - You can't.
As I hear him,
I don't think I have to deal with him anymore.
- Is it not worth talking? - No.
He doesn't see the real value of the food.
It's a blind faith.
Only because it's convenient.
I'm sure he orders delivery food all the time,
and barely leaves home. Am I right?
- Yes. - See?
Do you visit good restaurants?
- No. - I can't have...
any more discussion with someone like him.
He's disqualified.
He doesn't know anything about baeksuk.
- Let's hear from the audience now. - Okay.
Yu Hyun Su who is running a Korean restaurant.
- It's important. - He runs a Korean restaurant.
Because he runs a Korean restaurant.
We have long history of enjoying chicken.
What year did we star eating?
I expect...
Well...
- You don't have the answer to that. - It's okay.
That was a pretty difficult question.
Say something you know.
Don't take every question.
But it's only recent that we started frying it.
Baeksuk is the original.
It has long history.
The way to keep the original taste of ingredients is...
either steaming or boiling rather than frying.
When you fry it, it becomes a snack.
When you make soup, it becomes healthy food.
- Thanks for your opinion. - There's a big difference.
Either it's baeksuk or fried chicken,
you killed many chickens.
(You killed many chickens.)
(They should both feel sorry for chickens.)
Many chickens sacrificed for them.
- He killed three chickens a day. - Right.
- They killed so many. - I know.
This discussion isn't easy.
They can't compromise.
We'll return to the urgent food discussion soon.
Are we going to have one more?
When their opinions collapse,
we'll hold a discussion again.
I thought we'd get along well,
- You two are different. - but I'm surprised we're...
- totally opposing. - I agree.
We're same avengers, but we're just Hulk and Iron Man.
- That's right. - Right.
We have two super food avengers today.
Did you eat a lot since you were young?
I had this thing.
From kindergarten to elementary school,
I didn't know there were separate bowls for rice and soup.
My family had rice in a soup bowl.
- Both rice and soup? - Yes. I was shocked.
Since I was young,
I was influenced by my parents that Koreans must eat rice.
So they always fed me with rice and meat.
I always ate a lot.
Let me give you a common question.
Is there any food that you don't like?
- There are many. - Many?
He's weird.
He doesn't look like one, but he's picky.
- You don't look picky. - What are the ones you don't eat?
It's not that I don't eat it,
but I overreact to red pepper powder.
- Red pepper powder? - Overreact to red pepper powder?
Even with just one piece of kkakdugi, my head sweats so much.
The reason I shave my head is...
my body doesn't sweat at all,
but my head sweats so much.
Even at the smell of spicy food,
my head starts sweating like a fall.
- You're very sensitive. - Yes.
But it's not that I don't like spicy food.
Then what do you eat baeksuk with?
Don't you eat it with kimchi?
I don't eat kimchi.
- Do you eat baeksuk only? - Yes.
Goodness.
That's interesting.
People eat pepper dipped in soybean paste with baeksuk.
- How about that? - Do you eat that?
I eat ssamjang.
- You do eat ssamjang. - So...
I'm weird.
I don't drink milk, but I love butter.
I'm a bit weird.
We're very similar.
- Really? - I don't like...
food made with flour.
- Like ramyeon. - But fried chicken is all flour.
- Fried chicken. - It's flour.
No. It's flour for deep-frying.
They're completely different.
- That's flour. - That's flour.
No. They're different.
Also, I do eat flour when it's fried.
- Oh, there's a difference. - Yes,
but I don't like ramyeon.
I really don't like ramyeon.
Ramyeon is deep fried flour.
But it's soaked in water. You boil it.
It's deep fried noodles.
- So I... - You don't like food in water.
I don't like it when it's soaked in water.
So I don't like baeksuk.
Oh, you don't like food soaked in water.
Also, I don't like seafood.
I don't like seafood, but I do eat fish cutlet.
- Because it's deep fried. - Hold on.
Yes. It's like that.
- That's weird. - It's deep fried.
- I do eat deep fried squid. - I see.
Let's check out Shin Dong's fridge now.
You've lost so much weight.
- You must be on a diet. - Yes.
Yes, I'm on a diet. We recently released a new album.
I weighed 116kg 2 months ago.
- Two months ago? - Yes.
But I weigh 93kg now.
- You've lost so much weight. - I measured it this morning.
- How do you manage your diet? - How do you do it?
I studied a lot this time. I read a lot of books.
I think I've watched five documentaries.
- On a diet? - I'm serious.
I know what you mean.
It's called a self-control diet.
- A self-control diet. - Self control.
The most important thing in this diet is...
that you must not starve.
So you have unlimited amount of zero calorie food.
According to my standard.
Zero calorie food only?
You'll soon see it in my fridge.
- Okay. - There's zero calorie food?
How many do you have?
- I have about 5. - 5.
Let's check it out.
- Shall we take a look? - Good.
- It's Shin Dong's fridge. - I'm getting nervous.
I see many coupons on his fridge.
- That's nice. - He loves food.
I can tell you order a lot of deliveries.
- They're medals. - Fried chicken.
- Tteokbokki, wedge potatoes. - They're memories.
All those tteokbokki coupons are Kyu Hyun's.
- I live with... - Do you live with him?
Yes, I live in the dorm.
It's me, Kyu Hyun and the manager. Three of us.
Other members live on their own?
Yes. In case of Kyu Hyun,
he's currently working as a public service worker.
He comes home after work.
We usually get deliveries.
(I see.)
The fridge he uses with Kyu Hyun.
Let's take a look inside Shin Dong's refrigerator!
(Super food avengers, Shin Dong)
(He opened a new prospect in the idol eating show.)
(Let's see what's in his fridge.)
(Here comes Shin Dong's refrigerator)
(Amazing)
- Let's take a look inside! - Let's take a look inside!
(Packed)
- Are you really on a diet? - It's packed.
- There's so much food. - Right.
Let's take a look at...
five food...
for the self-control diet first.
The first one is soybean milk.
- Soybean milk. - This one.
- Soybean milk is fine? - Yes.
I'm sure many people are curious.
I drink soybean milk instead of rice.
If I drink soybean milk, I skip the meal for the day.
Really? How many do you drink?
I drink up to five a day.
I can't drink any more than that.
- It's a replacement for a meal. - He doesn't eat a lot.
- He doesn't eat a lot. - I don't eat a lot.
I can finish the whole box.
Soybean milk is the 1st one. What's the 2nd one?
The second one is tuna next to it.
- Tuna. - Tuna.
Isn't it quite oily?
It is, but the oil in there is...
not unhealthy.
Right. It's olive oil.
- He did some research. - He did.
What's the third one?
It is calamansi jello...
with very low calories.
I like snacks but I can't eat them,
so there are candied basil over there.
- Candied basil. - That's the fourth one.
I started to eat them...
when one of my fans gave them to me as a present...
to help me go on a diet.
- You can open it. - They look just like candies.
- Made with basil seed? - They look like ordinary candies.
The last one is Coke Zero.
- Coke Zero? - Coke Zero?
- This one? - Oh, that one.
I've drunk it as much as possible,
but I can't drink more than three bottles a day.
- I get tired of it. - I see.
I drink 1 or 2 bottles a day at most.
I drink three bottles per meal.
- You said you don't eat much. - Why can't you drink it a lot?
- I could drink it all. - But...
- You know... - The amount they eat differs.
You still have to be aware...
that you are on a diet.
So you eat these five kinds of food as much as you can.
- He does. - Yes. They are the five foods.
- There are some side dishes too. - Yes.
- Over here. - There are many of them.
This is stir-fried anchovies.
- Stir-fried anchovies. - What is it?
That's my favourite food.
Stir-fried anchovies?
I don't like seafood,
but I like stir-fried anchovies the most.
- Because it's crunchy? - I think I like the crispy texture.
I eat that much at a meal.
At a meal?
I keep scooping it with a spoon.
- So that's my own side dish. - I see.
- And there is a lot of gochujang. - Gochujang?
I love gochujang.
Do you love it?
- I do love gochujang. - They're extremely different.
- I like... - He's completely different from me.
- I've never met someone like him. - You haven't?
Do you hate gochujang?
I never eat stir-fried anchovies and gochujang.
- Goodness. - He said he can't eat spicy food.
- He sweats. - I never eat gochujang.
- I... - They are both super eaters,
but they're so different.
I eat almost every food with gochujang.
It is good if you dip that canned tuna in gochujang.
That is so good.
You can just put tuna, gochujang, and sesame oil...
- Gochujang. - in rice.
- That would be delicious. - You just need that.
- I don't eat canned tuna either. - If you add a fried egg on them,
it would be amazing.
If you add stir-fried anchovies too, it would be even better.
If you also add ham there,
- it would be even more amazing. - Goodness.
My ears are getting itchy.
And there is tofu.
- I love tofu too. - You do?
I especially like pan-fried tofu so much.
That's the only food that we both like.
You need some skills to pan-fry it.
- Right. - The texture is important.
- It should be soft on the inside. - Because...
I'm on a diet, I wanted to eat less oil.
So I bought an air fryer not long ago.
I have fried all the ingredients...
that are in the refrigerator.
The results were not perfect, but they were still delicious.
- You fried them all? - I even fried the canned tuna.
Canned tuna too?
- I don't recommend it though. - Really?
You don't recommend frying tuna.
In the fresh food drawer, there are Cheongyang peppers.
- I love them. - You like spicy food.
I really love them.
(Groaning)
Don Spike is shaking his head.
And there are chives, mushrooms, and cucumbers.
Shall we look at the door pockets?
You ate a lot of mayonnaise.
- Mayonnaise... - It is bad food for your diet.
I like various kinds of sauce.
Especially, I like mayonnaise and gochujang.
It's so good when you dip meat in the mixture of the two.
If you add mayo on egg fried rice, that is really good too.
I said I don't like ramyeon.
So I boiled it down once,
threw the soup away, put the noodles on the pan,
stir-fried them, and mixed them with mayonnaise.
- That sounds good. - I made it because I wanted...
to eat something like carbonara.
It was slightly spicy, oily, and so good.
There are a lot of ramyeon here.
Sesame ramyeon, jjajang ramyeon,
- mixed noodles... There are a lot. - And mixed noodles.
I like to eat raw ramyeon.
- Raw ramyeon? - Raw ramyeon.
- With powdered soup on it? - I love it.
I eat up to three packets of raw ramyeon.
He hates ramyeon, but he likes mixed noodles or raw ramyeon.
It is so good if you microwave it for 25 seconds and eat it.
- Microwave it? - Yes.
- There is champagne on the bottom. - Champagne.
There is Kyu Hyun's picture here.
That's all for drunkard Cho.
It's Cho Kyu Hyun's.
- Is he a drunkard? - Does he drink a lot?
- Drunkard Cho? - He drinks a lot.
As you may notice, they're very cheap.
Kyu Hyun has his own fridge in his room.
Expensive bottles are over there.
Because the space is not enough,
he put some cheap leftovers here.
Don't you like drinking?
I don't like drinking but I can drink a lot.
- Goodness. - What?
You don't like it but you can drink a lot?
- I don't like drinking... - you don't like it but...
but I can hold my liquor.
- I can drink a lot. - How do you chase a hangover?
I think you need some soup.
No, to relieve a hangover...
- Gosh, how should I put it? - What is it?
- I don't like flour-based food... - You don't.
nor instant food,
- You eat burgers of ramyeon, right? - I eat burgers.
Burgers?
Do you eat burgers for that?
- Burgers are great for that. - They relieve a hangover.
- Really? - They do.
- It is great to eat... - I think it's the best way.
- burgers to chase a hangover. - It is good.
But actually, I don't like bread.
What?
- It is difficult. - I am so confused.
I'm worried about today's chefs.
It is hard to know his preference.
What he says is so arbitrary.
- Shin Dong is confusing us. - He is...
- embarrassing us. - He is.
- Let's move on to the freezer. - Okay.
On the top, there is meat.
- There is a huge package of it. - Right.
It's beef brisket.
You know I bought an air fryer.
- I wanted to fry everything, - You fried beef brisket too?
so I bought it,
- and it was so good. - You mean beef brisket?
- Yes, it was really delicious. - And there are...
peeled and de-veined shrimps.
Never fry shrimp in an air fryer.
All the moisture evaporates, so it gets dry.
- It probably does. - It does.
You have to grease it first if you want to fry it.
Okay. There are a lot of meat patties here.
- Yes. - There are many kinds.
I love meat patties.
I see.
There are many foods you love.
Meat patties were great when air-fried.
Frozen food goes so well with an air fryer.
Here is meat.
- There are many kinds of meat. - There are a lot.
You have chicken breast too.
You must not fry chicken breast in an air fryer.
It was like I was chewing paper or something.
I had to keep chewing it.
I highly recommend frying the thinly sliced short ribs.
- Do you? - Yes, I do.
I see. There is something in the container in the back.
Just fry it too.
- It's stir-fried pork. - That's right.
- Stir-fried pork. - He's also called Stir-fried Pork.
- My nickname is Stir-fried Pork. - Dong loves stir-fried pork a lot.
Stir-fried pork is in the container.
Right. You don't like spicy food. subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
- I don't eat stir-fried pork. - Really?
Shin Dong's taste is quite confusing,
- Well... - the chefs must be puzzled.
- Will it be okay? - We've taken a look inside...
confusing Shin Dong's refrigerator.
(Looking inside Shin Dong's fridge is done.)
I'm curious about what food Shin Dong wants.
Please show us what he wants to eat.
- Deep-fry Everything, Baby. - Deep-fry Everything, Baby?
Because I like fried food so much.
Some say even fried shoes taste good.
Because I have been on a diet so far,
I don't care how much weight I gain today,
so please make something that is just absolutely delicious.
And the next one is Stir-fry Everything, Baby.
- As I'm Stir-fried Pork Shin Dong, - Right.
I like stir-fried food.
I don't like ramyeon but I love stir-fried ramyeon.
I don't like seafood,
but I like stir-fried small octopus or squid.
Stir-fry anything and make it delicious,
- please. - I got it.
I'll announce the chefs who'll cook...
with Shin Dong's ingredients.
They are Kim Poong, Jeong Ho Young, Lee Yeon Bok,
- I'm in. - and Joung Ji Sun.
(Jeong Ho Young versus Kim Poong, Joung Ji Sun versus Lee Yeon Bok)
- It will be fun. - Right.
The first cook-off with Shin Dong's ingredients...
- will begin now. - Okay.
The first match is between Poong and Ho Young...
who both won three times.
Ho Young is on the rise these days.
- He surely is. - Right.
He has won three consecutive times.
He is on a winning streak after his successive defeats.
Is it true that you don't talk to Raymon Kim anymore?
Yes, because I'm on a different level now.
Because Raymon Kim lost three consecutive times...
and he made food that was so salty.
Today's cook-off is even more important...
because ever since Ho Young was on Chef and My Fridge,
he has not won four consecutive times ever.
(He has not won 4 consecutive times ever.)
He is on fire.
His eyes look fiery.
He looks so ambitious.
You're good at making fried food, right, Poong?
I am good,
but when I compete him with fried food,
I'm not sure about the result.
There are many fried foods in Japanese cuisine.
- It's authentic. - It is.
Ho Young makes authentic fried food and Poong makes fake fried food.
All right.
(Poong chose tofu, beef brisket, shrimp, shiitake mushroom,)
(bean sprouts, scallions, and cucumber.)
(Ho Young chose kelp, anchovies, beef tenderloin, luncheon meat,)
(shiitake mushroom, beef brisket, shrimp, and beer.)
The name of the food I'll make today is...
Watch Out for Mianbao Xia.
- Watch Out for Mianbao Xia. - Watch Out for Mianbao Xia?
You must be cooking Mianbao Xia.
- Right. - Mianbao Xia.
- I see. - It's Mianbao Xia.
I should insert filling between pieces of bread,
but he doesn't like flour,
so I'll fry shiitake mushroom and tofu...
and insert filling.
In the batter...
Master Lee, egg whites are supposed to be added to the shrimp, right?
- Yes. - I see.
- Are you asking him now? - I was flustered.
- Did you ask it now? - Anyway,
I'll add beef brisket to the batter made with shrimp,
- That sounds good. - and mix scrambled egg...
with it so that is gets softer. I'll try to make it smooth.
(He will use scrambled eggs for it.)
From what I just heard,
I could give him 150 points out of 100 points.
- That's what I think now. - Do you like his ingredients?
I have a question. What kind of sauce will you add?
- I gave some thought about that. - Okay.
We'll know when you're done.
I'm not sure if you will like it, Shin Dong.
- What I thought... - Are you making one up now?
I'm telling you about the dish while I'm thinking about it.
"What would go well with this?"
(That's the charm of his unorthodox cooking.)
I study your face while I tell you this.
The dish I will make today is called...
Fried Tenderloin and Shrimp.
- "Fried Tenderloin and Shrimp". - "Fried Tenderloin and Shrimp".
I will fry the tenderloin and shrimp.
I'll fry the tenderloin to make a Japanese rice dish.
I'll make a dish called tempura donburi.
I will wrap shrimps with beef brisket...
and fry them. There's a sauce made with mayonnaise.
I'll mix it up with chilli sauce.
- That sounds delicious. - I'll mix fried shrimps...
- with sweet and sour sauce. - Okay.
- I'll serve it as a side dish. - That's good.
- He will own this cook-off. - My gosh.
Earlier, Shin Dong said a few of his favourite dishes.
- He's cooking all of them. - That's right.
Poong, this will be a hard one.
- Ho Young didn't dance today. - He's playing with full force.
I need to completely focus on my cooking.
- I wanted to see it. - I see. He was expecting it.
Fry, fry, fry
(Feeling satisfied)
When I'm busy, I think he can be my stand-in.
(He can replace Shin Dong.)
- He could wear a mask. - All right.
I don't think he needs to wear one.
We will begin the cook-off for Shin Dong.
Which one of the chefs will become the master of fried food?
Let the cook-off of the fried food begin!
- Fry it! - Fry it!
Fry, fry, fry, baby
- My gosh, the clock started. - It's 15 minutes.
It will be exactly 15 minutes.
People say even a shoe tastes delicious when it's fried.
He's making eggs.
I think he's making scrambled eggs.
- Scrambled eggs? - It's what he explained earlier.
Did you add chilli pepper powder there?
I added the flavour of the hometown.
"Flavour of the hometown".
Why are you making scrambled eggs?
I thought that it would help make the dish taste smoother.
- What's that? - He's making chilli oil.
(Add spring onions, garlics, and chilli pepper powder to the oil.)
(Add anchovy and kelp to the boiling water to make broth.)
(Slice the garlics and put them in cold water.)
Ho Young just took out the tenderloin.
He's using the tenderloin.
- He will fry the meat now? - Yes.
Isn't the tenderloin a bit thick?
That's why I hammered it a bit.
(He tries to take the ham out.)
Hit the bottom. Hit it. Use your knife.
(Come out, ham!)
- My gosh. - He's in a rush.
It's hard to take out the ham.
(Cut it in moderate sizes.)
I'll fry the ham and serve it too.
- He might fry them all together. - My gosh.
(Roll shrimps with beef brisket.)
- You have to cook the rice too. - Yes.
He said that he likes rice.
- That's right. - He can have this with rice.
- My gosh. - He will have rice.
Did you put soy sauce in the sauce?
I used a bit of teriyaki sauce for the sweet flavour.
- That has to be delicious. - Teriyaki sauce is amazing.
(Poong begins cutting tofu.)
- His hands are shaking. - Right.
He will use the tofu instead of the bread for mianbao xia .
- He will use tofu instead. - I'll make it slightly thin.
You'll replace bread with it, right?
- Yes. - It will replace the bread.
(Cool the scrambled eggs.)
He finished making scrambled eggs.
(He begins making the stuffing for mianbao xia.)
It seems like Poong will grind something.
- I'll grind the meat first. - Okay.
- After that... - You'll use various kinds of meat?
- I'm using beef brisket. - Beef brisket.
And then I'll add shrimps. If I grind them together,
the texture won't be good because it won't be chunky.
- I'll grind beef first and shrimp. - My gosh.
- He's very detail-oriented. - He put a lot of thought into it.
- He's a professional now. - I see.
He's already a professional.
(Mix the ground meat with scrambled eggs to make the batter.)
(Meanwhile, Ho Young...)
(Microwave the cooked rice.)
And then...
Ho Young is pouring the broth into the pan.
I'll use this broth to make the teriyaki sauce.
- I see. - My gosh.
This is a special sauce.
He'll use the broth. It means the sauce will be flavourful.
He's an expert in making the teriyaki sauce.
That's the authentic teriyaki sauce.
- Yeon Bok's frying skill is great, - You'll do the rice too?
but Ho Young's teriyaki sauce even makes a shoe tasty.
That's the word on the street.
(The sauce makes everything tasty.)
- With the sauce, it's delicious. - Exactly.
(He adds another sauce.)
(Mix sugar, vinegar, ketchup, and mayonnaise.)
Mayonnaise. He's using the mayonnaise now.
- Mayo. - I mixed the chilli sauce with mayo.
What will the sauce go with?
- I'll mix it with fried shrimps. - Fried shrimps.
(I love it!)
(Swallowing)
(He takes out the fried tofu.)
Shin Dong, there are many types of fried food.
Some may be crispy, and some may be chewy.
- I prefer crispy food, of course. - Crispy, fried food.
I love the crispiness.
- It must be crunchy. - Yes.
That's why I like uncooked noodles. And I like crispy snacks too.
- That's right. - It must be crispy.
- Yes. - Okay.
The outside must be crispy, but the inside must be moist.
That's right.
He's frying the whole thing.
I see what he's doing with mianbao xia .
He will make them with tofu...
- and shiitake mushrooms. - The shiitake mushroom.
There are two types.
Tofu might get burnt if he cooks until the stuffing is cooked.
- Tofu never gets burnt. - I'm worried about the crispiness.
- Is that so? - It won't get burnt.
It never gets burnt.
But tofu won't be crispy.
Tofu gets either chewy...
- Right. - or hard.
- Fried tofu might be rubbery. - That's how we make fried tofu.
- Yes, it might be rubbery. - I'm a bit worried about that.
(Meanwhile, Ho Young...)
- What is that? - He's frying the garlics.
He put them in the water first.
- He must remove its resin. - Okay.
That way, he can fry them nicely without burning them.
- Is that why? - Yes.
There are proper ways of frying food.
- Is that the flour batter? - Yes.
- Will you put tenderloin there? - When I make the batter with flour,
I mix the soft flour and tempura mix for the fried food.
I keep the ratio 1 to 1.
That's how you can make it crispy.
I don't think you mixed it thoroughly.
- I don't think you were thorough. - Here's the thing.
When you're frying food, the more you mix the batter,
- the more gluten you'll have. - Okay.
It becomes chewy.
You can't mix it thoroughly to make it crispy.
- Was that why? - You must mix it with chopsticks.
On top of that, Ho Young is using iced water.
The colder the water is, the crispier the batter gets.
(He's pulling all the stops.)
- There was a reason for it. - Yes.
- I get it. - He's frying the tenderloin.
- He's frying the tenderloin. - Tenderloin.
(Coat the batter and fry it.)
He's frying it.
- That must be hot. It's hot! - My gosh.
- It must be hot. - He's doing stunts.
- He's the best. - His body is made of iron.
He won't spare his body.
He's willing to fry his body for Shin Dong.
I guess so. Look at him frying the shrimps.
He dipped a part of it first and put it in.
Does he not have tongs?
(Fry the shrimps and ham.)
He's cooking bean sprouts now.
- Will you season them later? - Yes, I will.
My gosh, that's a bit disappointing.
- Why? - Why do you say that?
I'm not a fan of seasoned vegetables.
I see. I can easily take it out.
He's cooking only the dishes you like.
But I like spicy seasoned bean sprouts.
He likes spicy bean sprouts.
- I got it. - He's using chilli pepper powder.
He's resorting to his plan B on the spot.
Changing his dishes on the spot is amazing.
- Of course. He's spontaneous. - He's great.
- He's improvising. - Right.
Did a lot of time pass already?
- You got a bit more than 5 minutes. - 5 minutes.
Ho Young is taking out the fried food.
- He's taking out the tenderloin. - My gosh!
Will you fry it just once?
- That's already crispy. - I'll fry it again if I have time.
Okay.
- He'll fry it again if he has time. - I see.
They have five minutes. Jung Hwan.
Jung Hwan, please go to the kitchen.
- Okay. - Jung Hwan.
- You must cook the rice. - You can't throw it out.
- Jung Hwan. - Yes?
You know Ho Young's teriyaki sauce?
Yes, the sauce even a shoe can't ruin the flavour of?
- Try that. - Okay, okay.
It's delicious enough to make a shoe tasty when it's dipped in the sauce.
Jung Hwan, tell us if it is indeed Ho Young's signature sauce.
How is it?
Even boots can't ruin the flavour of the sauce.
- My gosh. - My goodness!
He's excellent indeed.
(His sauce never disappoints.)
- This is better than I thought. - All right.
- Do you like crushed garlics? - I love them.
- Is that so? - He likes garlics.
(He puts cucumbers in the zipper bag.)
- Into the zipper bag... - Are you beating cucumbers?
- What is he doing? - Why are you smashing cucumbers?
- I can get its sap this way. - Okay.
It will augment its scent, so this will be more refreshing.
We smash cucumbers often when we are cooking cold Chinese dishes.
That way, the scent is heightened, and the sauce gets mixed well...
because the surface is rough.
(Remove the water he used to cook bean sprouts.)
(Place the cooked bean sprouts on a plate.)
(Fry the shrimps and ham for the second time. Remove the oil.)
He's shaking off the oil because he's in a good mood.
Do you have to shake it off like that?
Yes, I must shake it off completely.
- You must use your shoulders. - He looks cute when he fries them.
He's frying the tenderloin one more time.
I must fry it again to get rid of the moisture...
- and make it crispy. - Didn't you say it'd be rubbery?
- But... - Fry them on high heat.
- it will taste good. - Sorry?
- He said it will taste good. - How could you be tired already?
He can't answer my question.
(Cut the fried shrimps, and mix them with the mayo sauce.)
(This is the tenderloin he fried twice.)
(Slice the tenderloin. Put it on the rice with fried crumbs.)
Look how perfectly the meat is cooked.
- What is he doing now? - Fried egg.
- That's the fried egg? - What is that?
- My gosh. - What's happening?
- My gosh. - He's dipping his hands in.
My gosh, this is...
- You will burn your fingers. - You must be careful.
Whatever. It's a cheap trick.
- "A cheap trick"? - You think I'll fall for that?
You're going up against him, Poong.
- He's jealous. - Show us your cheap trick.
- Show us a trick. - Right.
Stop being jealous.
(He juggles with the mushrooms.)
He's juggling.
37 seconds.
You have about 30 seconds now.
- 30 seconds. You got 30 seconds. - You don't have much time.
Your time is almost up.
(Poong is wrapping up.)
He's fixing up mianbao xia.
- Mianbao xia. - He's done with mianbao xia.
- He finished the mianbao xia. - That looks nice.
- That's the one with tofu. - That's looking delicious.
That's the mianbao xia with tofu. And that, with shiitake mushroom.
That's great. It looks great.
(Sprinkle sliced Cheongyang pepper on top of the fried egg.)
(Pour teriyaki sauce on top of the rice.)
- Right. - That's amazing.
- 10 second are left. - Ho Young is done.
- 9, 8, 7... - 8, 7...
(Pour the sauce with the cucumbers.)
(Pour chilli oil to finish the dish.)
- 2, 1. - 2, 1.
Poong has finished as well.
(Watch out for Mianbao Xia is done.)
- That was amazing. - They finished within 15 minutes.
That was fantastic.
(My gosh, I have to take photos.)
- They're both interested in food. - Right, right.
(Japanese tempura donburi and fried shrimps with beef brisket)
(Fried Tenderloin and Shrimp, Ho Young's dish)
- Let me study this first. - Sure.
- It's covered with the egg. - My gosh.
He even fried this.
- He did fry the egg too. - My gosh, no way.
- That's the tenderloin. - My goodness.
- Under the egg... My gosh. - Under the egg...
My goodness, No way. The meat...
- He sounds like a woman. - My gosh.
(The fried beef tenderloin is quite chunky.)
(His mouth waters.)
- There you go. - Unbelievable.
I wonder if the beef is cooked right.
I can see that the meat is still slightly red.
- I wanted to make it tender. - I see.
- I cooked the outside on high heat. - This is...
(Is there something wrong with the degree of doneness?)
This is my favourite degree of doneness.
- Really? - He was so precise.
- I love medium rare. - I see.
(He eats it in one bite.)
Ho Young fried the tenderloin. Let's see if he cooked it properly.
Shin Dong loves fried food.
(Laughing)
- All right. Why is he laughing? - What's the meaning of his laugh?
I wonder why he's laughing.
- It's really delicious. - It's delicious?
It's really delicious.
(He's relieved.)
- This is so good. My gosh. - Do you mean it?
- My gosh. - My gosh.
- He's about to cry. - Right.
I mean, this is...
- It's so good. No way. - Really? I don't think it's cooked.
Not at all. Actually, I'm wearing braces now.
The braces are covering my molars.
That's why I can't chew with my molars.
Despite the fact that I can't chew with my molars,
I can still chew and eat everything without my molars.
That means that it's really tender.
- All right. - All right. It's time for shrimps.
- Shrimps. - My gosh, look at this.
- He rolled them with beef brisket. - My gosh.
That must taste so good.
It has to be crispy.
Was he able to cater to Shin Dong's preference?
Is it not the flavour you wanted?
- Wait. He tilted his head. - Is it not crispy?
- He fried it well. - Okay. He fried it well.
The shrimp isn't cooked at all.
I like fried shrimps because...
- shrimps taste better fried. - Okay, okay.
The sauce is delicious, but the more I chew, the more I'm confused.
- It was supposed to be cooked. - I'm confused.
I thought, "Why is this shrimp not cooked?"
This is the disappointing part.
When they sell this type of shrimp, they press it to stretch it out.
These are small shrimps,
but when you press them down, they look longer and bigger.
That's why it felt mushy when you ate it.
- The texture isn't good. - It's almost non-existent.
- Didn't you fry the ham? - I did.
- Is this the ham? I see. - That one was the ham.
That's fried ham. Fried ham.
- My gosh, of course. - How could it not be good?
- My goodness. - Obviously, that must be delicious.
You should've fried shrimps like you fried ham.
Imagine he wrapped the ham with the beef brisket?
Imagine he wrapped this with beef brisket?
(They're impressed.)
It would've been awesome.
It's hard to cater to someone's taste completely.
- This is really good. - All right. That's great.
The fried food is awesome.
(Mianbao xia cooked with tofu and shiitake mushroom)
(Watch out for Mianbao Xia, Poong's dish)
- Let me try the cucumber first. - Okay.
He will try the cucumber first.
He tastes the vegetable first.
(Tasting)
(What?)
(Intrigued)
Wait, what kind of sauce is this?
I used soy sauce, chilli pepper powder,
vinegar, sugar, crushed garlic, and chilli oil.
This is to die for.
(Thank you.)
- What a surprise. - The spiciness...
The spiciness is just the right amount.
- It's perfect. - He will try the mianbao xia now.
Let's see if tofu was able to replace the bread.
That was a great idea.
Is it cooked well?
- It's cooked perfectly. - Is this cooked?
Can he try it with the bean sprouts?
- Yes. Eat however you want. - My gosh.
- Tofu mianbao xia. - You'll eat it in one bite, right?
- He added bean sprouts too. - My gosh.
(He eats it in one bite.)
All right. The texture of the tofu is very important.
According to Yeon Bok,
- tofu might be rubbery. - Right.
Hold on. He's tilting his head.
- I'll tell you after I try this. - All right. Try it first.
- He's delaying his evaluation. - Yes, he is.
After postponing his evaluation, he's trying mushroom mianbao xia.
I think I should try this without the bean sprouts.
(He tries the mushroom mianbao xia by itself.)
I wonder if he will like the mushroom without bean sprouts.
- Why did you shake your head? - I can smell chilli pepper powders.
Do you smell the chilli pepper powders?
That means you will start sweating.
I've been wiping my head.
Do you know the hair cap people use when they get permed?
(Nodding)
How is it?
The mianbao xia will play an important role.
The tofu and the shiitake mushrooms are fried perfectly.
- All right. - It's just how I like fried food.
And the stuffing inside is so soft.
The moment I bite into it, the meat and the egg break into...
little pieces straight away.
The flavour got all mixed up because I ate it with bean sprouts.
When I tried just the mushroom,
I could taste the stuffing which tasted like the patty.
I could understand the flavour you were aiming for.
- I see. - It was really good.
There was one thing that disappointed me though.
Tofu had to be fried moderately...
for it to be crispy on the outside and moist inside.
Right now, it's slightly rubbery.
That's the only complaint I have.
- That's what we were worried about. - Right.
It's time for you to decide.
- Press one to vote for Poong. - Okay.
- Press two to vote for Ho Young. - Ho Young.
Make up your mind, and press the button.
(He has decided.)
He just pressed the button. All right.
I'm curious to find out which one has won this cook-off.
Can Ho Young continue his winning streak and take the fourth win?
Or can Poong put an end to his losing streak?
Let's check the result!
Which fried food did Shin Dong choose?
(Poong wins.)
(Watch out for Mianbao Xia wins.)
It's Poong!
Poong has won the cook-off.
For the second time, he has defeated Ho Young.
This brings an end to Ho Young's dream of getting the fourth win.
- Raymon is the happiest now. - Right, right.
- I'm very sad. - You look very happy.
- I'm so sad. - You look happy.
- You seem happy. - Right.
To me, the fried egg was the best part of the meal.
I haven't tasted anything like that before.
When I was eating rice, meat,
or the rest of the dish, I kept wanting to eat that.
I really like the fried egg.
One factor that led to his loss had to do...
- with the shrimps. Yes, shrimps. - The shrimp was the problem.
Another point was because I expected a lot from Ho Young's dish,
I didn't expect much from Poong's dish.
Poong cooked fried tofu and mushrooms which I like.
And he served them with spicy sauce.
He was able to combine all these together into a harmonious dish.
It felt like he was able to draw a complete square.
Poong is on the road to become the master of fried food.
With today's cook-off, Poong defeated...
Ho Young both times in this season.
He won his fourth star badge before Ho Young.
As he ends his losing streak, he wins his fourth win.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
- It's his fourth win. - You're in upper ranks.
He has broken into the circle of the upper ranks.
(Watch out for Mianbao Xia wins.)
(Make a batter with beef brisket, shrimp, scrambled egg, and starch.)
(Fill the tofu and mushrooms with the batter and fry them.)
(Mix soy sauce, chilli powder, vinegar, sugar, chives, garlics...)
(and cucumber for the sauce, and serve it with cooked bean sprouts.)
Chefs will do the second cook-off with Shin Dong's ingredients.
This cook-off is between a master and a pupil.
It's between Yeon Bok and Ji Sun.
How does it feel to compete against your teacher?
We are both chefs of the Chinese cuisine,
but since I'm young, my food is slightly more sophisticated.
- Sophisticated? - She just took a shot at him.
- "He's outdated." - "His recipes are boring."
- "He's old-fashioned." - "He's old-fashioned."
- "He's old-fashioned." - "He's the deep-rooted evil."
- "Deep-rooted evil"? - That was too mean.
- You went too far. - Did I? I'm sorry.
- "Deep-rooted evil" was mean. - He's just out of date.
Whenever my pupils join the show, you always say this.
That's why it doesn't bother me anymore.
Right. That makes sense. Just let them do their talking.
"You can talk all you want, but I will focus on winning this."
Yeon Bok won a star badge last week.
- That's right. - He won that badge...
after he won a badge from Monk Hye Min on January 1.
- It'd been three months. - Right.
When I couldn't win a star badge,
I couldn't work because of Seong Joo and Jung Hwan's nagging.
Seriously. That's when I realised I needed to win the badges.
- That's right. - Right.
We are nagging to motivate you.
A master and a pupil has met on this cook-off.
(Ji Sun chose pork neck, pre-cooked meat patty,)
(shiitake mushroom, perilla leaf, cucumber, dried laver,)
(fermented anchovy sauce, and spicy small octopus sauce.)
(Yeon Bok chose shrimps, small octopus,)
(shiitake mushroom, beef brisket, pork neck,)
(scallions, pork bulgogi sauce, and perilla leaf.)
Chef Joung Ji Sun, which dish will you make?
The dish I will make is Stir-fry Excels Its Master.
- Stir-fry Excels Its Master! - Stir-fry Excels Its Master!
What an appropriate name!
Stir-fry Excels Its Master!
You will give us a dish that is better than Chef Yeon Bok's.
- You will give us a stylish dish. - That's right.
How is it made?
I will make a spicy stir-fry with meat patties and pork neck...
and put it in cucumber.
I will also deep-fry instant rice to make it taste like scorched rice.
There is a Chinese dish called basi.
It's similar to a Korean dish, mattang.
I will make it with laver and mushroom...
for a side dish.
Is it possible to make that much in 15 minutes?
Chef Joo Pei An...
has made scorched rice,
but it wasn't very impressive.
(Disapproving)
Chef Gordon Ramsay has also made it,
- but it wasn't very impressive. - It wasn't very impressive.
That's a fact.
"Even if you make scorched rice, it won't be impressive."
"The others have tried it before."
"Come on. Don't you know the others failed?"
- That's what he's saying. - Chef Ji Sun is wiping her sweat.
Scorched rice is like a forbidden dish.
Opposing her is Chef Lee Yeon Bok. Please tell us about your dish.
The dish I will make is Yeon Bok's Stir-fry and Noodles.
- Yeon Bok's Stir-fry and Noodles. - Yeon Bok's Stir-fry and Noodles.
I will make my own noodles.
Then I will deep-fry them to make them crispy.
I will also stir-fry pork...
to make a sauce.
Since Shin Dong is very sensitive to smell,
I will smoke the meat.
You will smoke the meat. That's a lot of effort.
Yes, it is.
The match of stir-fried dishes will begin now.
He is determined to show the master's unrivaled skills.
A man who wants to open up new horizons for stir-fried dishes,
Chef Lee Yeon Bok.
She is determined to be a pupil who overcomes her master.
A woman who wants to surpass her master with her confidence,
Chef Joung Ji Sun.
Will she be able to surpass Chef Lee Yeon Bok?
We will now start the cook-off between a pupil and a master!
I think Chef Yeon Bok will be pressed for time.
- That's right. - He'll make and deep-fry noodles.
Then he will smoke and stir-fry the meat.
- That's right. - There are a lot of processes.
(He chops spring onion.)
He is chopping a lot of spring onions.
It's for the smoking process.
I see. It's for the smoking process.
- He uses spring onions. - I think he will burn them.
- Spring onions? - Since they are moist,
I need to dry them up and burn them quickly.
He wants to give his dish a smoky flavour.
He will now make noodles.
He will make his own noodles.
- That's impressive. - Those noodles will be tasty.
I know. Last week,
he made jjajangmyeon...
- He did. Konjac jjajangmyeon. - with konjac jelly noodles.
This week, he is making his own noodles.
Chef Ji Sun took out instant rice.
It looks like she will make scorched rice first.
Instant rice.
She is removing starch.
(Sugar)
(She melts sugar on a frying pan.)
(Before the sugar burns,)
(she adds hot water.)
- What is that? - What is that?
- It's sugar. - It's sugar.
- Is that sugar? - She's making caramel syrup.
She said she will make basi.
That's why she melted sugar in a frying pan.
- It's for basi. - Ginger?
- She's using ginger. - Ginger will season the dish.
I see.
(Add minced ginger and salt to the caramel sauce.)
What kind of meat is that?
- Pork neck. - Pork neck.
(Spring onion and garlic)
Chef Ji Sun, are you chopping Cheongyang pepper?
Shin Dong said that he likes spicy food.
That's why I'm using Cheongyang pepper.
I see.
(Chef Yeon Bok is preparing more spring onions.)
(He will make chilli oil this time.)
(A lot of red pepper powder)
That's a lot of red pepper powder.
- chilli oil. - He is making chilli oil.
(Shrimp)
- Small octopus. - He took out a small octopus.
Will it go into the sauce?
Yes, it will go into the stir-fry. Shin Dong cares about the mouth-feel.
That's why I will boil it before I stir-fry it.
- He will boil it. - He will boil it first.
Small octopus isn't Shin Dong's favourite ingredient.
No, it isn't.
(He takes out blanched small octopus...)
(and cools it down.)
(Onion, mushroom, carrot)
(Chop pork neck, shiitake mushroom, carrot, onion, and beef brisket.)
Is Chef Yeon Bok using beef brisket as well?
He is using beef brisket as well.
- He's slicing pork neck lengthwise. - My goodness.
- That's a variety of meat. - Small octopus goes in it, too.
There is a variety of ingredients.
(Chef Ji Sun prepares shiitake mushroom as well.)
(She slices perilla leaves.)
(Chop cucumber and remove the inside.)
Hold on. What is Chef Ji Sun doing to cucumber?
I will put filling inside the cucumber.
- She'll put them in it. - Goodness.
She'll put filling in the cucumber.
- You will put filling inside it. - Yes.
The female chef's dish is cute and pretty.
She has delicate touches.
Look at that. That's stylish Chinese cuisine.
Chef Yeon Bok can't do that.
In terms of style, Chef Ji Sun is above him.
Chef Yeon Bok can't beat the younger chef.
(He honed his skills for 45 years.)
Here comes chilli oil.
The colour is nice.
- The colour is perfect. - It's red.
Chef Yeon Bok now moves on to the noodles.
- He is making noodles. - He is making noodles.
He began to make noodles...
with seven minutes remaining on the clock.
(With a rolling pin,)
(he flattens the dough.)
(He folds the dough...)
(and flattens it some more.)
To make scorched rice,
we use the rice as it is. She rinsed it in water.
She soaked it a bit first.
Will it stick to the frying pan?
I think she will use starch.
- She will use starch. - She will use starch.
- She said she will deep-fry it. - Beforehand,
- she rinsed it in water. - It looks like I'm wrong.
- She will deep-fry it as it is. - She will deep-fry it as it is.
Will the rice go into the oil as it is?
The grains won't stick to each other.
It's not scorched rice, but puffed rice.
- That's right. - Puffed rice.
- Puffed rice. - It's puffed rice.
It's what I want.
- Really? - Really?
- That's what she wants. - She wants puffed rice.
- It's not scorched rice. - Anyone can do that.
- It contains ginger. - Chef Yeon Bok, what did you say?
Anyone can do that.
"Anyone can do that."
I thought she will make scorched rice.
Chef Yeon Bok says that scorched rice is hard to make.
- Puffed rice is a different matter. - It's easy.
He says that anyone can make puffed rice.
He has a point.
- Is that laver? - Yes.
- It's laver. - She is deep-frying it.
She's soaking it in caramel syrup...
before deep-frying it.
She soaks laver in caramel syrup and deep-fries it.
- Seong Joo. - Yes.
Will the student be able to surpass her master?
Please go out in the field and check.
Chef Ji Sun is deep-frying laver.
She is now coating shiitake mushroom in caramel syrup...
and deep-frying it.
I will try deep-fried laver.
- Okay. - I want some beer with it.

Let's take a look at this.

and stir-fried.
(Deep-fried fresh noodles and smoky jjamppong sauce)
(Chef Lee Yeon Bok's Yeon Bok's Stir-fry and Noodles)
How should it be eaten?
Try the noodles first to feel its crispiness.
Then pour the sauce over the noodles and eat.
He can mix the sauce and the noodles.
After you have had a few bites,
add just a little bit of mayonnaise.
First, he will try the noodles.
My goodness.
Let's see.
I could keep on eating these noodles as I watch TV.
Seriously.
- It's a snack. - It tastes like...
the healthier version of raw ramyeon noodles.
The noodles will be tasty with mayonnaise.
- That's a good combination. - I know.
(My goodness.)
(Impressed)
I could call that a dish.
Come on. It's a stir-fried dish.
- It's a stir-fried dish. - I see.
Mix the sauce and the noodles.
(Hearty)
In a sense,
it could feel like...
pouring sauce over snacks.
- My goodness. - How will the noodles taste?
You can't mix the noodles.
- No, you can't. - You will just have to scoop...
- some noodles and sauce together. - That's right.
Since I like meat,
I will take a lot of meat.
(Crunchy)
The sound of chewing is a bit different, right?
(Crunchy)
You can hear the crunchy sound.
(My goodness.)
- It's really odd. - Odd?
It's a taste I never had. At first, I thought,
"It feels like I am eating a dish with snacks."
However, as I chewed...
again and again,
I could understand the combination better.
They go well together.
I was surprised by how...
salty the sauce is,
but the taste of noodles comes later.
The bland flavour comes later...
and evens out the saltiness.
(He takes another bite.)
The deep-fried noodles have their part.
That's right.
(Curious)
The perilla leaves tell me...
(The perilla leaves give a refreshing and healthy taste.)
the dish is tasty...
and healthy.
- It's fresh. - Right.
A perilla leaf made a difference.
(Surprised)
It has a refreshing taste.
- I will add this. - Mayonnaise.
He will try it with mayonnaise.
- That's the right combination. - You should use a spoon.
Take a big spoonful.
(Ta-da)
- It looks like... - It's like...
It looks like a healthy dish.
- I know. - Goodness.
- That looks delicious. - That's the way to eat it.
(Humming in approval)
I should have added it from the start.
You should have added it from the start.
My goodness.
I add mayonnaise...
to my ramyeon...
because I like food that is spicy and greasy.
This dish hits the spot.
If there is one regret,
I wish this dish was spicier.
I wish it was spicier.
However, the ingredients have harmonized.
It's the best.
Would you please leave a bite?
(Stir-fried meat in cucumber, puffed rice, and basi)
(Chef Joung Ji Sun's Stir-fry Excels Its Master)
- There is meat inside. - That's right.
He tries stir-fried meat in cucumber.
I wonder if the stir-fry goes well with cucumber.
(Sighing)
- What should I do? - What is it?
- Why? - What is it?
- This is... - Yes?
the taste...
of my favourite meat dish, stir-fried pork.
What should I do?
This is the right amount of spiciness.
- My goodness. - He loves stir-fried pork.
He loves stir-fried pork and has eaten it a lot.
Chef Ji Sun recreated his favourite taste.
I am worried...
because she coated these ingredients in sugar.
Although I said that I want to avoid the sugary taste,
she coated these ingredients in sugar.
That's why I am worried.
(He tries laver basi with a worried heart.)
Is it really sweet?
It's not sweet.
- It's not sweet? - Why isn't it sweet?
She soaked the ingredients in sugar.
She coated shiitake mushroom in it, too.
(Humming in approval)
It's not sweet at all.
A lot of sugar went into it. Why isn't it sweet?
(Amazed)
I burned the sugar...
and added a lot of ginger.
(She evened out the sweetness with ginger.)
Use your spoon to eat...
stir-fried meat with puffed rice. I think it will be tasty.
- That's right. - Try that.
Puffed rice and stir-fried meat.
- I think I should put this... - My goodness.
- Deep-fried laver. - Like this.
- He added deep-fried laver. - It looks delicious.
It looks perfect.
It's going in.
- It's going in. - My goodness.
(Practicing)
How does the dish taste with puffed rice?
You know,
it's really oily.
(It's really oily.)
I love it.
- You love it. - You love it.
There is something my family did ever since I was little.
When we had pork belly,
we fried it in a frying pan...
and left the fat.
- Then it turns white, right? - Yes.
Then we work up the next day and cooked rice in it.
That sounds delicious.
We added kimchi to make fried rice.
- I see. - It's really delicious.
- It's really delicious. - It's really delicious.
I love this oil.
(The oiliness suits Shin Dong's taste.)
- There is one regret. - What would that be?
Every component of the dish has a strong taste.
Right? I think...
using plain rice would have worked better.
Stir-fried meat, cucumber, basi, and plain rice...
would have made me eat 2 or 3 servings.
In our place,
Don Spike will taste the dishes.
He should try the dishes.
It's Lee Yeon Bok's Stir-fry and Noodles.
I will try a strand of noodle first.
I can hear the sound from here.
Dip it in mayonnaise.
(He dips it in mayonnaise.)
It's the best.
(His eyes open wide.)
It's the best.
This is it.
- Wouldn't it be spicy? - What? I will try it first.
Try the meat.
Will he break into a sweat?
(Ta-da)
He suddenly put on a towel.
- He realised that he will sweat. - He tasted the dish and went,
"I will sweat." He got ready.
Viewers who started watching now will think he is a nun.
He will try the dish.
(He isn't a nun.)
(Crunchy)
(Tilting his head)
He is tilting his head.
As you chew... Are you sweating?
He is beginning to sweat.
(His pores open up.)
Sweat is beading...
on his forehead.
His pores are open.
(Breathing heavily)
- Is it hot? - It must be very hot.
You should add mayonnaise.
You should mix the noodles with mayonnaise.
It's the best.
(Humming in approval)
(I told you.)
Mayonnaise plays a big role.
- Do you like it? - Is it the taste you wanted?
This is it.
He should have added mayonnaise from the start.
- That's right. - All right.
- It's incredible. - Is it incredible?
It's a taste I never had.
Mayonnaise changes the taste. It's a taste he never had.
Spicy stir-fried dishes have...
spicy soup.
I can't stand it.
I can't imagine mixing rice with it.
However, this dish is dry.
- That's right. - There is no soup.
I find it easier to eat.
The spiciness doesn't hit you later.
It's a gentle touch in the beginning...
that dissipates.
It comes and goes.
All right. It's time to taste Chef Ji Sun's...
- Stir-fry Excels Its Master. - Stir-fry Excels Its Master.
It looks so cute in your hand.
It looks like a toy.
I only took a whiff.
You only took a whiff.
(He takes out the towel once more.)
He is sweating. I see.
My goodness.
It will be hard for me to eat this.
Will it be too spicy?
Eat just a little bit of the stir-fry.
You have to eat it in one bite.
(I will give it a try.)
- It's really tasty. - It's the taste Shin Dong loves.
Don Spike can't eat spicy food.
(The spiciness hits him.)
Don Spike!
It tastes like stir-fried cartilage, not stir-fried pork.
You are right.
- That's what I think. - It tastes more like that.
Sauce for stir-fried cartilage.
His pores are open now.
His forehead is beaded...
with sweat.
(His pores open for the 2nd time.)
- How is this possible? - It's like a burst water pipe.
- My goodness, - His skin is pushing out sweat.
- My goodness. - It's fascinating.
He is very sensitive.
Eating deep-fired laver might help.
(Suspicious)
(Crispy)
(Humming in approval)
- Is it good? - It's the taste I love.
Everyone has different tastes.
He is wrapping puffed rice in laver.
- You can eat it like that. - That's right.
It's like a burger.
It's like gimbap.
(Humming in approval)
Is it good?
(It's the best.)
- He gave her the thumbs up. - He did it wordlessly.
- I like this much stir-fried meat. - I see.
- He can't eat a lot of it. - He eats it like salted seafood.

This balance is perfect for me.
Sweet, salty, and spicy.

He is eating a lot of puffed rice.
This is the answer.
He likes puffed rice.
Everyone has a different taste.

(Congratulations)
All right.
I think I know the reason.
You like this stir-fried pork a lot, don't you?
To be more precise, rather than stir-fried pork,
the gristle and the sauce with a hint of fire...
suited my taste much better.
- This is much spicier. - Right.
Ji Sun is the first one to receive a star badge...
among Lee Yeon Bok's pupils who challenged him.
I'm happy to win, but I feel so uncomfortable as well.
Do you feel uncomfortable? Why? You don't need to.
