Yes, my father's from Nigeria, and my mother's from Korea.

- Sweet guy. - Sweet guy.
Can you introduce yourself in English for foreign viewers?
Hi, everybody. This is Eric Nam. Nice to see you guys.
Hi.
(Good.)
- What did he say? - That's the right pronunciation.
- What did he say? - I only used three words.
I only said, "Hi, Eric Nam. Hi."
Did you?
- That was different from the hi we say. - It's different.
By the way, Hyun Min set a record...
for the first time on Chef and My Fridge.
- Really? What is it? - Yes.
He's the first male teenager on Chef and My Fridge.
The first male teenager on Chef and My Fridge.
- We've had a few female teenagers. - Yes.
Tzuyu, Su Hyun of AKMU,
- Jeon So Mi as well. - Jeon So Mi.
He's the first male. He was born in 2001.
- It's an honor. - A male cast.
- He was born in 2001? - Yes.
- I was born in 2001. - 2001?
2001? Goodness.
Does your resident number start with 01?
It's 010.
When I give them my resident number,
they think I'm joking.
Because your resident number starts 010,
- they think it's a phone number. - Yes.
- It's a different resident number. - I see.
How does yours start, Chef Yeon Bok?
- 5. - It starts with 5.
It starts with five.
As far as I know,
Hyun Min's father was born in 1973.
- Yes. He was born in 1973. - Father.
His father was born in 1973?
It's like father and son.
- Really? - Yes.
Do you know what's funnier?
His mother is my age.
You're his mom's age.
I'm his mom's age.
My friend and your friend got married,
- and gave birth to him? - That's right.
I see.
In fact, Min Kook's only four years younger than him.
- Min Kook's that old already? - Yes.
That makes it sound...
- I know. He's 14 now. - all new.
Unbelievable.
Hyun Min debuted on Seoul Fashion Week...
in March 2016.
- How old were you in 2016? - Middle school?
I debuted in ninth grade.
- Ninth grade? - Yes.
After that,
he was on the list of the 30 Most Influential Teen...
of 2017 by Time.
He was the only Korean on the list.
- It was an issue. - It was an issue.
Other people who were also on the list were...
David Beckham's son.
- Brooklyn. - Brooklyn.
Will Smith's two sons.
- Daughter and son. - Is it?
- He's more accurate. - He's an expert.
He reads Time.
And the snowboard gold medalist, Chloe Kim.
- Chloe Kim. - Yes.
There were many outstanding people.
I think it meant to try harder.
Since I'm trying even though I have different skin color,
I think they awarded me to work for my best.
I'd like to take this opportunity...
to promote Korea.
I believe Jung Hwan was on Time as well, right?
- Me? For a short time. - He was.
When was that?
I wasn't on the list. I was on the cover.
On the cover.
If you were on the cover, you don't need anything else.
Not everyone can be on the cover.
Right.
President Moon Jae In was also on the cover.
Do you get anything if you model for the cover?
There was nothing.
- Since then, Hyun Min's a hit. - He is.
Recently, there was 2018 Seoul Fashion Week.
You were on every stage?
- Not every stage. - How many stages were you on?
I was on 24 shows in this season.
24? What's the average?
Maybe 10 shows if many.
10 shows if many,
but you were on 24 shows?
I was able to do that because...
many designers were being nice.
Were you on the finale stage?
Yes. I was on the opening show twice.
I was on the finale once.
Jung Hwan was also on Andre Kim's finale stage before.
- He was. - Many times.
- Finale is important. - Of course.
He's a senior.
- Be nice to me. - Yes.
From what I heard,
Hyun Min didn't learn walking professionally.
- Really? - Yes.
At the time, the academy cost a lot.
I watched YouTube to see how models walk.
I learned it myself.
You learned it from Teacher You.
Teacher You is the best now.
Can you show us the walk in the back then?
Sure.
- This is... - Do you have music?
- Go up here. - This is nice.
- Or we could push this. - He's good.
I'm looking forward to seeing his look.
- His look. - Oh, this one.
(Dancing)
(Cheering?)
(Limply)
(This is almost like...)
(Chef and My Fridge home shopping)
34.9 dollars. Only 34.9 dollars.
He's so bad.
Seriously.
(The ring kiss)
(Awestruck)
(He's different.)
Good.
- He's different. - Look at his face.
(The dignity of an 18-year-old the whole world pays attention to)
Go in now.
(Chef and My Fridge home shopping)
- How can they be so different? - Gosh.
Gosh.
(It's almost sold out.)
What was that?
We had to do something. It wasn't enough.
(That was fun.)
- Good job. - It's not easy.
- Not anyone can be a model. - It's not easy.
- Gosh. - That was fun.
My shoulders were raised by having you two on each side.
(Shoulders go up.)
Your friends must be happy.
My friends love it the most. Every time they come,
they say, "Everyone's talking about you at school."
They even ask for my autograph.
It's kind of embarrassing, but it's amazing.
Since you're doing great,
don't your friends tell you to treat them out?
I pay for internet cafe and ramyeon in internet cafe.
And meat. I could pay for that.
- Full internet cafe course. - Yes. I pay for them.
- You pay for everything. - That's good.
It's same as paying for company dinner.
- Right. - He's the big brother.
Like I said before,
Hyun Min's father's from Nigeria, and his mother's from Korea.
You only have Korean nationality?
I should have double nationality,
but my mom was too lazy to report my birth in Nigeria.
- She was too lazy. - Yes.
I have to choose one when I become an adult,
but before that, I got Korean nationality.
Before you get to choose,
- you got Korean nationality. - Right.
Then, did you get your mother's last name?
- Yes, so I got my mom's last name. - That's why you're Han.
- Your mother's Han? - Yes.
I see.
You have four siblings.
Until I was nine, I was the only child.
But it was very boring to be the only child.
I told Mom I wanted siblings,
and she did. I was happy at first.
I kept getting more...
even though I didn't ask.
(I kept getting more even though I didn't ask.)
How old is the second child?
- He's 10. - 10.
How about the third?
- She's 8. - 8.
The 4th is 6, and the last is 5.
She had children in a row...
a long time after you.
She gave birth every time she had a chance.
I know.
Since they're 10, 8, 6 and 5.
I'm surprised by the one-year gap.
How did they do that?
(Laughing)
"How did they do that?"
The thing is my youngest brother and I have same birthday.
- The youngest brother? - Yes.
On my seventh grade birthday,
I called Mom and said, "You know what day it is?"
She said, "I gave birth. Come to the hospital."
- "I gave birth." - You got a brother.
It's the best gift in my 18 years of life.
- Right. - You got a brother.
That photo is very rare.
- Why? - Since they're young,
it's hard to control them. It's hard to take a picture.
I've met them all before.
- Really? You have? - I thought I was going to die.
- Is the one frowning the youngest? - Yes.
- His name is Emos. - Emos.
The 4th one is Amy. The 3rd one is Shaila.
- Shaila. - Yes.
- 2nd? - And the 2nd one is Jude.
- Jude. - Yes.
Do they have Korean names?
They have Korean names,
but they're registered by their English names.
Then it's just you.
In my case, she wanted to change me to an English name...
after she gave birth to my siblings.
But I used my Korean name for nine years...
and I like my Korean name, so I didn't want to change it.
Do your siblings have Korean nationality?
She probably didn't report them.
- Because she's lazy? - Probably.
She would never report all four of them.
Have you ever been to Nigeria?
Never.
(Unexpected)
- Your father could've taken you. - You'd be curious.
Lately, I'm interested.
I'd like to visit.
Does your father speak good Korean?
He's studying hard lately.
Do you communicate well?
Not really.
Hyun Min, you can't speak English at all?
I'm studying hard now. Both of us are studying hard.
- From what I heard, your father... - The father and the son.
used to be an English instructor.
- Did he teach English? - Yes, he used to teach English.
I always say this,
but you're not supposed to learn from your family.
(He's joking.)
I know what you mean.
I didn't like studying English.
I always communicated in Korean.
I wasn't motivated to learn before.
But I think I started to regret not learning English...
after I became a model.
- You regretted it in hindsight. - Yes.
- So I'm studying hard now. - You wished you studied English.
But why did you hate learning English?
The pronunciation wasn't my style.
- The pronunciation? - I enunciate syllables in Korean,
but I have to speak the syllables smoothly in English.
- No high schooler likes English. - Right.
No high schooler in Korea likes English.
But I'm envious of my peers who can speak English well.
- They look cool. - I agree.
Anyway, Jung Hwan. You starred on another show...
- with Hyun Min, right? - Yes, right.
When it comes to food preference, he's older than us, middle-aged men.
He asks for Cheongyang chili when he eats sundaeguk.
He adds spicy paste in it. He's no joke.
He eats three bowls of rice every meal.
- What? 3 bowls of rice. - 3 bowls or rice.
I ought to eat at least three bowls of rice if it's a Korean meal.
- You eat three bowls of rice? - That's amazing.
What's your favorite Korean food?
I love sundaeguk, but I like kimchi stew and soybean paste stew too.
- I like soy sauce marinated crabs. - Soy sauce marinated crabs.
- They're authentic Korean dishes. - He has a palate of an old man.
These days, do teenagers or youngsters...
- Expressions for delicious food. - Are there any funny expressions?
After we eat, we say, "Hey, this is dope."
- "This is dope." - "This is dope."
- "It's dope." - "This is dope."
(It means something is satisfying and brings happiness.)
- "It's dope." - My goodness.
I bet that Hyun Min's fridge will be spectacular.
We'll check out what kind of ingredients he has.
We're going to take a look inside Hyun Min's fridge.
The family has five siblings and his parents.
There's a total of seven people in his family including himself.
I'm sure that you guys use up the ingredients...
pretty quickly within just a day.
That's true. I think my mom cooks rice twice a day.
- She does? My goodness. - Yes, we have a lot of people.
- Your younger siblings eat a lot. - When we have a meal,
half of the cooked rice goes away. And my dad and I finish up...
the remaining half together. There goes the whole pot of rice.
Right.
I see some manuals are hanging on the fridge.
It's because we got a new refrigerator...
only about four months ago.
- Is that so? - What's more interesting is that...
it's already dented after four months. Can you see that?
This part?
- I don't know how it got dented. - It's dented a lot given the time.
- Did your younger siblings do this? - My guess is that...
they think the refrigerator is the villain.
Which one is the most aggressive?
- The youngest is really strong. - The youngest is something else.
I wonder how the inside of his fridge looks like.
Let's take a look inside Hyun Min's refrigerator!
(An 18-year-old model who the world has its eyes on)
(Let us show you his fridge.)
- They have a lot of ingredients. - My gosh.
- Look at the size of the milk. - They definitely have a lot.
- But... Right. - There are five children.
Side dishes are on the first shelf. Quail eggs. Fernbrakes.
- Fernbrakes. - Seaweed stems.
My mom doesn't cook side dishes because it's a hassle.
She used to cook a lot, but not anymore since we always finish them.
- You guys have a good appetite. - We buy side dishes now.
- Did you buy all of these? - Yes, we bought all of them.
Food in these containers must be from the stores.
I knew it because meals have been really good lately.
Meals have been delicious. I eat my meals at home these days.
I see, okay.
- His mom must be disappointed. - These days, your mom...
- buys side dishes from the store. - Yes.
What's your favorite side dish?
- There's whole radish kimchi. - This one?
- I see. Whole radish kimchi. - Did she make it?
- I think this is from the store. - It's really good.
She bought it, but it's good.
- Of course, it's from the store. - She bought it, but it's good.
After midnight, I'd get slightly hungry.
And when you don't want to eat a whole meal,
I would mix white rice with water, scoop up a spoonful of rice,
and have a bite of the kimchi.
The moment I bite into the radish, it makes the crunchy sound.
- That's right. - I think, "This flavor is dope."
(This flavor is dope.)
- "This is why I eat this." - You know what the real deal is.
- Does your dad like Korean food? - He likes it a lot.
You know how we usually eat rice from a bowl.
But my dad puts his rice on a plate.
A big plate. It's as big as this.
- A big plate? - He would put side dishes there.
- He builds the rice like a castle. - Like a castle?
He builds it up like a mountain and eats his meal.
He really likes Korean food.
On this side, I see eggs. Since he has a big family, there are so many.
He has his own way of making eggs. He'd boil the eggs first...
and eat them after spreading mayonnaise on top.
- He'd boil the eggs... - It's good.
- and spread mayonnaise? - I had a bite.
I was crying when I was eating it that day.
- Because you liked it? - Yes, it was really good.
- Because it was good. - The odd combination works.
- Was it dope? - Yes, it was cope.
- Cope? - No, that's not what I meant.
- It was dope. - My goodness.
- That was a mistake. - "It was cope."
- He meant to say, "dope". - "It was cope."
And on the shelf below...
Gosh, this is huge.
Even the container for gochujang is...
- You ate a lot. - You eat a lot of gochujang.
I thought other families used this much gochujang when cooking,
but everyone said that it was huge.
We need a lot of gochujang because I like spicy food,
and my dad also doesn't eat much unless it's spicy.
That's why we need a lot of gochujang.
What kind of spicy food do you like?
I like gochujang stew, spicy braised chicken, and spicy stir-fried pork.
- They taste like African dishes. - He's one of us.
He really likes spicy marinated crabs too.
I do like spicy marinated crabs,
- but they're expensive. - Yes, they're expensive.
That's why I didn't have many chances to eat, but he treated me.
- Did you buy him marinated crabs? - Well...
It was his birthday.
- He ate a lot. - Of course, he would eat a lot.
He had 3 servings of soy sauce marinated crabs and 1 of spicy ones.
- He eats a lot. - He had a good appetite.
When he ate sundaeguk, he asked for crushed Cheongyang chilies.
He added them into the soup. He also put spicy paste in it.
- He knew how to eat it. - How do you eat your sundaeguk?
When I order sundaeguk, I ask them to hold the sundae.
- You ask them to take them out? - Yes.
I put 2 spoons of spicy paste and 1 spoon of salted shrimps.
I always ate it like that, but it became a bit boring.
Then I added Cheongyang chilies, and it got spicy.
- It was really addicting. - My gosh. He's a man in his 40s.
- It was... No way. - You lied about your age, right?
You can eat fermented skate too.
- Can you eat fermented skate too? - Yes, I can. I like it.
- He can eat fermented skate too? - The pungent flavor is the charm.
- He's a total foodie. - He has a middle-aged man's palate.
Please take this into consideration.
- And he has more over there. - And next to that,
you have bead-shaped rice cake.
My mom makes tteokbokki with those.
My mom thinks she's good at making tteokbokki with those.
(There he goes again.)
What is he trying to say?
She asked me if she should quit her job...
and open up a tteokbokki restaurant.
When I heard that, my heart pounded hard.
I mean it.
- That's risky. - She shouldn't think that.
- You couldn't tell her the truth. - Right.
You're her son, after all.
She puts too much sugar for no good reason.
- Is it sweet? - Yes, it's too sweet.
You don't like sweet flavors.
If it's sweet, it doesn't feel like a meal.
- Does it feel like a dessert? - It must be seasoned, spicy,
- and hot. - He eats like a middle-aged man.
- He's a man in his 40s. - Seriously.
He and I had breakfast together on a show.
He kept dipping the chili pepper into gochujang and soybean paste.
- Was it Cheongyang chili? - Yes, it was Cheongyang chili.
- He really likes spicy food. - Say that I'm eating my meal.
When my meal tastes a bit bland, I eat them for strong flavors.
- He likes it that much? - For breakfast?
- My gosh. - His organs are healthy for now.
- Right. - They are healthy.
And on the shelf below, there's meat.
Hold on a minute. This is the refrigerated section.
How many days would this last?
When we have soup, two days would be considered long.
It means my mom did a bad job of cooking it.
If it's good, it only lasts a day.
- You finish it fast if it's good. - Right.
- If not, it lasts long. - It lasts two days.
All right. Let's check the sides. Wait, these are...
store-bought gochujang.
- I won't last without them abroad. - Why is that so big?
I'm a man who loves Korean food.
Only after a day, I would crave spicy and hot dishes.
That's why I took them when I went abroad.
(He has them in case he craved Korean food.)
- He brought them back. - I took them when I went abroad.
- He carries around gochujang. - He seriously loves Korean food.
I see herbal tonics.
- The herbal tonics look like water. - I've never seen those.
- I don't want to grow taller. - There's medicine for that?
- It's to prevent you from growing? - Yes.
My height was 187cm when I debuted.
Right now, I'm as tall as 190cm.
I don't want to be taller than 190cm. The herbal tonic is for that.
Is there a problem if you're taller than 190cm?
The clothes might not fit. I'm taking them as a precaution.
- I've never seen this before. - Right. It stops him from growing.
- Everyone wants to get taller. - Right.
- Now, onto the freezer. - The freezer.
- I see minced meat. - I see pork.
I see chicken. Korean pork for bulgogi.
This one is for bulgogi. Bulgogi.
Occasionally, my mom cooks bulgogi.
A long time ago, I received a meat set from "Differential Class".
Even before I had a chance, my mom cooked them for my siblings.
- She cooked the beef? - The Korean beef?
My siblings went crazy because it was so good.
- Because it was delicious? - They went crazy.
- They were crying when they ate it. - They were crying?
- Your family cries easily. - My goodness.
- I'm worried because... - It must've been really good.
they already know what good meat tastes like.
(His siblings are hooked on meat.)
In the freezer, I see fishcake and fish. It's mackerel.
I think my siblings ate that. I don't remember eating it.
Do you like mackerels though?
I'd eat them if it was served, but deboning it is a hassle.
- When we filmed the show together, - Yes.
we went to Busan. He really enjoyed eating the eels.
- He ate the eels? - The eels almost became...
my favorite Korean dish, threatening sundaeguk.
- You liked eels that much. - Yes, it was really good.
We have finished browsing through Hyun Min's refrigerator.
- Okay. - Thank you.
(Browsing his fridge is over.)
Please show us what Hyun Min wants to eat.
These are the dishes Hyun Min wants to eat.
"Red Flavor" that will captivate the old soul of Hyun Min.
"Red Flavor".
When I see white dishes, I don't get the urge to eat them.
I want red, spicy soup.
I want the soup to be hot, salty, and spicy.
I want to find a dish that will help me finish my meal.
- "Red Flavor"? - Yes, "Red Flavor".
(Please cook me spicy dishes.)
- They must use Cheongyang chili. - That's a must.
They must add either spicy paste or Cheongyang chili.
The chefs must include spicy paste.
The very first dish that will walk into my mouth.
I want to try a dish that I haven't had before.
I'd like to try the very first dish that will make me cry.
Does it have to be Korean food? Can it be a Western dish?
It'd be great if it's Korean food.
I just want it to be spicy.
- I see. - Spicy?
What's the difference between the 1st and 2nd themes?
(Just make it spicy.)
I'll announce chefs who will cook for Hyun Min.
Yu Hyun Su, Kim Poong, Jeong Ho Young, and Mihal.
The list of cook-offs has been decided.
(Mihal versus Hyun Su and Ho Young versus Poong)
Here's the first cook-off...
with the ingredients from Hyun Min's refrigerator.
These are feisty chefs who will present the best spicy dishes.
The cook-off is between Hyun Su and Mihal.
At his last cook-off, Mihal finally got out of his slump.
- He ended his losing streak. - That's right.
He defeated Sam who was leading the season.
He escaped his three-match losing streak.
- Are you feeling confident? - He looks confident.
I have to cook Korean food today,
and I'm competing against the master of Korean food.
- I'm a bit nervous. - He's the master.
(He's competing against Yu Jang Geum.)
In the last season, they went up against each other just once.
Mihal won the cook-off against Hyun Su in the last season.
- It was when Doo Joon joined us. - That's right.
"Heart Fluttering Dish with Mom's Kimchi".
- Oh, right. - Since the theme was kimchi,
- we thought you had an upper hand. - Right.
When the theme was Korean food, Mihal...
- almost won all the cook-offs. - He won most of the matches.
- I see. - That's right.
A long time ago, he made Jinju-style naengmyeon.
He even put whole radish kimchi in the salad.
- Right. - I remember that.
He's really good at cooking Korean food.
We can't blindly say that Hyun Su has an upper hand.
(Mihal chose oyster mushroom, mushroom soup powder,)
(minced pork, minced beef, onion juice, zucchini, tomato sauce,)
(pickled chili, and frying mix.)
(Hyun Su chose kimchi, onion juice, seafood broth, pickled chili,)
(seasoning, pork neck,)
(chicken breast, smoked duck, precooked meatball,)
(salted small octopus, fishcake, and rice paper.)
The name of my dish is...
Middle-age Man's Ball.
- "Middle-age Man's Ball"? - Yes.
- You're making it obvious. - "Middle-age Man's Ball".
I'm going to make the sauce very spicy with the tomato sauce.
And on top of that, I'll add Bulgarian meatballs.
Usually, we add bell pepper in the meatballs.
Instead of adding bell pepper,
I'll add Cheongyang chili.
It will be very delicious.
- Meatballs. - I'll make spicy zucchini.
- Spicy zucchini? - He's cooking two dishes.
There are spicy zucchinis?
I'm going to fry the zucchinis.
I'll sprinkle Korean chili pepper powder and make it spicy.
It will be crunchy.
The dish's name is Middle-age Man's Ball.
Hyun Su, what kind of dish did you prepare today?
The name of the dish I'll cook for Hyun Min is...
Korean Cuisine and Dining.
- My gosh. - "Korean Cuisine and Dining"?
- I like the name. - That's too obvious.
- I like the name. - It's too obvious.
- I'll get straight to the point. - That's too much.
(The names are too obvious.)
- Hyun Min is such a Korean. - Exactly.
(The name arouses Hyun Min's appetite.)
I prepared two dishes as well.
Earlier, you mentioned that you love kimchi.
I'll use the kimchi and make spicy, aged kimchi stew.
- I'll make it spicy. - Is it similar to hangover soup?
Yes, it's similar to hangover soup.
It will be spicy.
- He likes it. - That sounds delicious.
Hyun Min likes it. He just let out a sigh.
And I'll explain the second dish. You said that you like...
- soy sauce marinated crabs. - Yes, I like them.
You can try this at home too.
I'll make use of the salted small octopus.
I'll make a dish that tastes similar to soy sauce marinated crabs.
It's small octopus paste with soy sauce.
(This is dope.)
Can you make it with just that?
When I grind the small octopus, the texture is similar to...
the marinated crabmeat.
With that and fishcake,
I'll try my best to make it taste like soy sauce marinated crabs.
(He's amazed.)
- Gosh, this cook-off... - I think he's already crying.
- Do you like it? - My heart just pounded.
I almost got too excited when he explained about the small octopus.
- Small octopus in soy sauce. - That sounds so good.
- We must check the final products. - That's true.
All right, great. We'll start the 15-minute cook-off now.
They will get exactly 15 minutes.
Can they make the spiciest dish that goes beyond fiery pit?
Let the first cook-off begin!
(The 15-minute cook-off begins.)
They must cook very spicy dishes.
When he stir-fried kimchi, he added sugar and vinegar.
When you stir-fry kimchi that's not completely fermented,
add a bit of gochujang and vinegar,
then it tastes like aged kimchi.
I'll add sugar too. I'm going to add onion juice too.
- Onion juice? - Onion juice.
Will that taste like aged kimchi?
- It tastes like aged kimchi. - I really like aged kimchi.
- Really? - Not the 2-year fermented one.
- You know overly fermented one? - Overly fermented one.
It's so fermented that it's soggy.
That has to be aged about five years then.
- That long? - That's the best.
- Really? - That and glutinous rice...
- beat every dish. - Glutinous rice?
- Glutinous rice? - I love glutinous rice.
You like glutinous rice?
Sir, how old are you?
He talks about soggy kimchi and glutinous rice.
How old are you?
- Isn't he an old lady? - Seriously.
For my dream Korean meal,
I want glutinous rice, aged kimchi, and soy sauce marinated crabs.
(It stirs up the middle-aged men.)
- Right, right. - I can eat my meal with just those.
(Microwave the instant rice.)
Hyun Su, can you cook glutinous rice?
- Glutinous rice? - Yes.
If I microwave it for long, it becomes glutinous rice.
- I see. - I like glutinous rice.
Seriously?
(He microwaves it longer.)
Mihal isn't an easy opponent.
(Coat the pan with oil.)
(Stir-fry sliced oyster mushrooms, onions, and mushroom soup powder.)
(He begins making the batter for meatballs.)
- Are you using minced meat, Mihal? - Yes, I am.
(Add onions and Cheongyang chili.)
Mihal just added Cheongyang chili peppers.
(Add sliced onions and Cheongyang chili into the minced meat.)
(Add mushroom soup powder, pepper, and salt. Knead the batter.)
I know Hyun Min.
I think you should add more Cheongyang chili peppers than that.
- Right? - 1 or 2 more will do.
- Should he add 1 or 2 more? - He's slicing more.
- Thank you. - He's adding more.
- He's cutting them right away. - Thank you.
"Thank you."
Hyun Min eats about 4 or 5 chili peppers in the morning.
He kneaded the batter.
- He's going to make meatballs. - I see.
- Just like meatballs. - Right.
(Coat the meatballs with frying mix, and fry them in the oil.)
- I think he's frying the meatballs. - Yes, he is.
- I'm not familiar with frying them. - Middle-aged Man's Ball.
(Hyun Su is making the soy sauce.)
Hyun Su, what are you cooking now?
- The broth for marinated crabs. - The broth for marinated crabs.
I found the soy sauce and seafood and kelp packets.
I'm using them to make the broth flavorful quickly.
(He starts making the broth for spicy, aged kimchi stew.)
(Stir-fry sliced spring onions, crushed garlics, pickled chili,)
(seasonings, and chili pepper powder in a pan.)
(Slice pork neck, chicken breast, smoked duck, and meatballs.)
He said that he liked the innards over meat. So as for the meat,
I'll use the skin instead of the lean meat.
I'm cutting these parts so that they taste more...
- like the innards. - He exactly knows what I like.
He listened to your stories carefully.
- He know the details well. - He added all kinds of meat.
You said that when you usually eat sundaeguk,
you take out the sundae and eat only pork slices and the innards.
Gosh, Hyun Su didn't let that slip by.
He's making the meat taste similar to the innards.
The broth will be too sour.
(Add the aged kimchi to make the stew.)
The stew looks like it's for a man...
who's been living alone for 50 years.
- Is that so? - Gosh, I like it.
(He's happy.)
(Meanwhile, Mihal...)
(Mix the onion juice, water, and salt.)
This is expected of Mihal.
Mihal often uses zucchinis.
- I think he's going to fry them. - I agree.
But... Wait, what kind of water is that?
What is he dipping them in before frying?
This is the onion juice.
- Onion juice. - Onion juice.
Both of them are using onion juice.
Why are you dipping them in the onion juice?
Because the flavor is richer this way.
- It's for the flavor. - For the rich flavor.
- But when he fries... The water... - I know, right?
I've never seen someone dip it in the water first and fry.
Usually, people would dip it in onion juice...
- and coat it in starch. - Isn't the order reversed?
This is new too.
When it goes into the oil, it sounds appetizing.
- Right? - Right?
- I'm so curious. - It looks crunchy.
- I'm really curious. - Isn't it burning?
(Meanwhile, Hyun Su...)
Is that the small octopus?
- Yes. - Why are you washing it?
Since this is soy sauce marinated crab.
I must get rid of the seasoning the best I can.
(It's to enhance the soy sauce flavor.)
It's to make it taste like soy sauce marinated crab.
When he grinds the small octopus,
it might taste like the roe in the soy sauce marinated crabs.
- You know the chewy texture? - He's going to grind that.
The lumps.
(Grind the sliced salted small octopus and sliced fishcake.)
(He puts the rice papers into the hot water.)
Hyun Su is soaking the rice paper with the hot water.
Rice paper?
Is he trying to make a wrap?
He'll make the shell of the soy sauce marinated crabs with that.
- Is that fishcake? - It's fishcake.
- He's adding the fishcake too. - He's using the fishcake.
(Put the fishcake on top of the rice paper.)
After putting it on the rice paper, he's rolling it carefully.
Gosh, it's double-layered.
- Isn't the crab shell crispy? - That's right.
He's going to fry that.
I'm really curious about this one.
How will it taste?
(He's making the sauce for the meatballs.)
Mihal is making "the red flavor". It's spicy paste.
It's too red though.
(Grind the tomato sauce with salt, pepper, and chili pepper powder.)
- It's completely red. - Right.
From the color, it looks very spicy.
Tomatoes and chili peppers are a compatible combination.
- To increase his appetite... - Red gets the job done.
- The theme is Red Flavor. - Right.
- 5 minutes. - Do we have only 5 minutes left?
- All right. - Gosh, time flies.
- Jung Hwan, report from the field. - Okay.
- I think Hyun Min will like this. - You think so?
- Jung Hwan. - Yes?
I'm curious of the red flavor, honey
- I'm curious, honey - Hwan, Hwan
Jung Hwan, try the red stew.
I'm curious, Hwan
Hwan, Hwan
Is the dish for a middle-aged man or a high schooler?
It's for a middle-aged man who has a palate of a high schooler?
- What does that mean? - It's slightly sweet.
- Is that so? - It's a bit sweet.
- He's in trouble. - Middle-aged man who likes sweets.
I don't think Hyun Min likes sweet flavors.
- I hope it's spicier. - Okay.
Hyun Su is going to make this dish spicy now.
He's adding the red chili peppers at the end.
Hyun Min's level of spiciness is way higher...
than an average person's.
He keeps adding Cheongyang chili. subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
By the way, I'm curious about fried zucchini chips.
We don't normally deep-fry zucchini.
- That's right. - Give it a taste.
(He sprinkles red pepper powder.)
You sprinkled so much red pepper powder.
- I love it. I love it. - I love it. I love it.
- Hold on. - I love it.
There is so much red pepper powder.
- Jung Hwan. - Yes?
I am curious about the taste. I am curious, Jung Hwan.
(How does zucchini chip with red pepper powder taste?)
Does it have the red flavor?
It has the red flavor to the max!
It has the red flavor to the max.
- This is... - It must be spicy.
It's tasty. It goes well with red pepper powder.
- Less than a minute remains. - Less than a minute remains.
- The clock turned red. - Less than a minute remains.
Both the taste and the clock are red.
(Hyun Su adds spiciness to his dish.)
(Blend red pepper and Cheongyang pepper.)
While there is some time left...
(Sieve the soy sauce.)
(Add soy sauce to the blended pepper to make a paste.)
- 30 seconds remain. - 30 seconds remain.
30 seconds remain.
Look at that.
He takes out the meatballs.
- He is plating the meatballs. - The dish looks delicious.
(Put deep-fried meatballs on top of the spicy tomato sauce.)
The dish looks delicious.
20 seconds remain.
Here comes the rice.
Please wrap up the dishes.
It looks delicious.
(Add red pepper and Cheongyang pepper to soy sauce.)
- This is nerve-wracking. - In 6, 5, 4...
(Hurry up.)
(Plate deep-fried zucchini and sprinkle red pepper powder.)
- 3, 2, 1. - 3, 2, 1.
(Plate deep-fried salted small octopus and fishcake.)
Mihal finished first.
- Hyun Su. - He is done.
Good job, everyone.
The two dishes with a red flavor are ready.
(Meatballs with Cheongyang pepper and spicy zucchini chips)
(Chef Mihal's Middle-aged Man's Ball)
This is a dish I would never see at home.
- Really? - Yes.
The meatballs...
Does looking at the dish make you sweat?
It contains a lot of Cheongyang peppers.
There are pieces of Cheongyang peppers.
It contains a lot of Cheongyang peppers.
May I eat first? Everyone is older than me.
- It's okay. - Everyone's eyes are on me.
- You own the fridge. - It's okay.
You are the youngest one,
- Thank you for the food. - but it's okay.
(He tries the spicy zucchini chips first.)
He sliced and deep-fried the zucchini.
It's red.
Did you hear that sound?
It will be nice with a sauce.
Gosh, it's crunchy.
It's like French fries.
- I see. - It's like that.
He sprinkled red pepper powder.
Mihal fried it very well.
I bet it's spicy.
It's the perfect snack.
It's the perfect snack. He praised the dish.
- It looks incredibly hot. - I really want to try that dish.
It looks incredibly hot.
- It must be hot. Be careful. - Be careful.
(How does it taste?)
(Humming in approval)
- It's tasty. - Do they go well with the sauce?
What do you think?
(He tries the sauce alone.)
The tomato sauce has the smell of tomatoes,
but pickled peppers neutralized the taste.
It's tasty.
The tomatoes don't taste that strong, right?
No, it doesn't.
He takes a spoonful of rice.
(He takes a spoonful of warm rice.)
I need rice.
- You need rice. - Hyun Min likes rice.
- Is it spicy? - No, it isn't.
I thought it would be spicy...
because of the Cheongyang peppers, but it's not that spicy.
He should have added more Cheongyang peppers.
The dish looks like...
it's incredibly spicy.
There are minced peppers inside the meatball.
He put a meatball on a zucchini chip.
(He takes a big bite.)
It looks delicious.
(The way Hyun Min eats the dish makes everyone's mouths water.)
Are they good together?
Dipping the zucchini chips in the sauce is the best.
I see.
- Do they go well together? - Yes.
The ingredients combine to make delicious dishes.
Zucchini chips, red pepper powder, pickled peppers,
meatballs, and sauce were combined...
while retaining their original flavors.
(The recreation of aged kimchi and soy sauce marinated crab)
(Chef Yu Hyun Su's Korean Cuisine and Dining)
(He becomes impressed when the lid is removed.)
This is Korean Cuisine and Dining.
It's really red.
He likes that kind of dish.
It was made...
to taste like offal.
- The offal soup. - It contains aged kimchi.
It looks similar.
Aged kimchi hangover soup.
He likes that kind of dish.
(He tries the soup first.)
How does it taste?
(He adds the paste.)
He wants it to be spicier.
- He is adding more peppers. - He wants it to be spicier.
The soup is my style.
I want to bring the dish home.
(His mouth is watering.)
It's like offal soup.
- There are some offal-like parts. - It looks like offal.
It looks like offal.
(How does it taste?)
It tastes like sausage stew.
- Sausage stew. - Sausage stew.
It's not as spicy as it looks.
(He is incredible.)
- Is your tongue okay? - He is adding more paste.
He is eating rice.
It's sticky rice.
It was made that way.
(Groaning)
- Do you like it? - This is it.
- He loves rice. - He loves rice.
One thing is different between my mom and me.
My mom likes hard rice.
She and I have different tastes.
I don't often get to enjoy sticky rice.
Let's see if napa cabbage kimchi tastes like aged kimchi.
(He puts a piece of kimchi on the rice.)
- He will wrap rice with it. - That's right.
- He knows how to enjoy the dish. - You have to wrap rice with kimchi.
It's really sticky.
Look at that kimchi.
- Look at that. - The rice is really sticky.
- He wanted it to be sticky. - Do you need some help?
Really?
(He puts it in his mouth.)
He put the entire thing in his mouth.
(Impressed)
What is it?
Does it taste like aged kimchi?
It tastes exactly like aged kimchi. It's soft.
- Is it soft? - Yes.
I guess the vinegar did the trick.
Vinegar gives kimchi a soft mouthfeel.
Try the soy sauce.
- Just the soy sauce? - Try it by itself.
I will add a piece of pepper.
He loves peppers.
(He tries it.)
(Smiling)
What is it?
It tastes like soy sauce marinated crab.
I am serious.
Does it taste like soy sauce marinated crab?
Yes, it does.
How fascinating!
- Now, try the soy sauce. - Try it.
There are Cheongyang peppers.
- I love that. - You love that.
(He doesn't want to miss a single piece of pepper.)
Thank you for the food.
(He dips deep-fried small octopus and fishcake in soy sauce...)
(and puts it in his mouth.)
Does it taste similar?
(Hesitant)
(His reaction is quite different this time.)
I guess it doesn't taste similar.
He liked the sauce.
While it tastes okay,
fishcake overpowers the smell of other ingredients.
- Fishcake has a strong smell. - It's too bad.
I want to learn how to make this broth.
- You mean the soy sauce. - That's right.
Please try mixing the soy sauce and rice.
- "The soy sauce." - That would be great.
- Try the soy sauce. - Since he likes the soy sauce,
Hyun Su directed him to mix it with rice.
- The soy sauce is the main. - "Try the soy sauce."
- He is desperate. - Take out the small octopus.
- That's right. - Take out the small octopus.
Take out the small octopus.
- Take out the small octopus. - Do that.
- Remove the skin. - The filling is small octopus.
The filling is small octopus.
You remove the crabmeat from soy sauce marinated crab.
- You use your hands. - The dish was intentional.
The skin was just for the plating.
- The fishcake is like the shell. - Mix it with soy sauce.
I just ate small octopus. It tastes good.
Does it taste good?
It should taste like soy sauce marinated crab.
- The rice is too sticky. - It's like rice cake.
- It's too sticky. - It was like that earlier too.
How did you make that kind of rice?
(He barely manages to get a spoonful of rice.)
The peppers are spicy.
Soy sauce and small octopus.
- He took out the filling. - Does it taste okay?
Does it taste okay with rice?
I can describe the taste.
After you eat rice with soy sauce,
you eat crabmeat again from soy sauce marinated crab.
It feels a bit lacking because there is no crabmeat.
The soy sauce tastes perfect.
You are sorry that there is nothing to replace the crabmeat.
That's right.
Doesn't small octopus replace it?
The small octopus...
It's hard to beat the original.
- The original. - It's still impressive that...
he attempted the dish with small octopus.
He uses expressions...
a high schooler doesn't normally use.
- The original. - The original.
I guess he learned from his grandma.
- Shall we try the dishes? - Okay.
Let's try Mihal's Middle-aged Man's Ball.
- Okay. - It has cooled down.
Give it to me.
I like the taste.
- You can pass it to me. - You said this wasn't spicy?
- My goodness. - It's not spicy?
It's spicy.
- It's nice. - I taste the peppers.
You don't find this spicy?
It's not too spicy, is it?
- How could you say it's not spicy? - It's really tasty.
My face is heating up.
This is...
It's not the kind of heat that makes you look for water.
The heat spreads from my mouth.
- It's really tasty. - Is it tasty?
It's only a little bit spicy.
It tastes more Italian than Korean.
It's the taste I love.
- You like Western food. - Yes.
What I like about this dish is that...
the oil from meatballs...
adding richness to the tomato sauce.
I see.
This time, we will try Korean Cuisine and Dining.
- Try the soy sauce. - Eat it with rice.
It even has the fishy taste.
- My goodness. - It does, right?
- This is... - It does.
How does it have that taste?
- It tastes the same. - It even has the fishy taste.
It's wonderful.
- How did he make it fishy? - It's amazing.
I used a bag of dried seafood.
(The dried seafood is the secret to the slight fishy taste.)
- This is amazing. - It is.
People wouldn't buy marinated crab if they know how to make it.
You can say that again.
The soy sauce tastes like marinated crab,
and the small octopus is also tasty on its own.
- I love it. - So I can enjoy the two tastes.
I think Poong may make marinated crab with imitation crab meat.
- Marinated shrimp will be good too. - Try the soup too.
- Let's try the hangover soup. - The hangover soup.
- This hangover soup looks good. - Goodness.
The aftertaste of the soup is spicy.
- Gosh, it's delicious. - Isn't it?
It's perfect for middle-aged men like us.
- Goodness. - You have to...
- eat it with rice. - Right.
It's like a dish from a restaurant that specializes in aged kimchi.
(Inhaling a lot)
It's like mackerel stew with kimchi.
Slight spicy taste kicks in at the end,
but it's not unpleasantly hot.
It's a satisfying and delicious dish,
- and it calls for soju. - It does.
That's how it tastes.
He made various kinds of dishes with kimchi,
- but I think this is the best. - I agree.
- I admit that it is the best. - I will...
certainly make that soy sauce someday.
- No wonder. - I'll surely make it on this show.
- I'm telling you in advance. - In advance.
- With imitation crab meat. - I will.
If you put half-boiled eggs, not fried eggs,
into this sauce,
it will taste great when the eggs are mixed...
- with rice. - With rice?
- They will go well with each other. - Eggs are great.
- It must be savory. - Yes.
- We may see it next week. - Right.
You may see it in the next cook-off too. Am I next?
You may see it in the next cook-off.
I can apply someone else's good idea right away, right?
Press number 1 to vote for Mihal and number 2 to vote for Hyun Su.
This is really hard.
You were just happy when you were eating, right?
(It's not easy to choose only one.)
- I pressed the button now. - He pressed it.
Let's find out the result. Please show it to us.
Who did Hyun Min choose?
(Yu Hyun Su wins.)
It's Yu Hyun Su.
(Hyun Su's Korean Cuisine and Dining wins.)
Yu Hyun Su wins the cook-off.
(He succeeds in winning 7 times in total.)
- Goodness. - This time...
His dishes suit my taste so well.
I think they really did.
The spicy soup that I like and the soy sauce...
that tastes like marinated crab were good.
And this was the most impressive.
- The pepper sauce was a good idea. - I see.
Hyun Su avenges himself on Mihal,
and wins for the seventh time.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
Hyun Su enters the upper ranks now.
(Hyun Su's Korean Cuisine and Dining wins.)
(Boil kimchi with sugar, vinegar, water, and onion juice.)
(Boil water, dried seafood, soy sauce, sugar and chili.)
(Stir-fry green onions, garlic, pork, chicken breast, and so on.)
(Add the stir-fried ingredients to the boiled kimchi.)
(Put garlic, red pepper powder, and chopped chili in the kimchi.)
(Wrap small octopus and fishcake with rice paper and fry it.)
(Make sauce with soy sauce and chili and put fried rice paper in it.)
We'll have the second cook-off with Hyun Min's ingredients.
In this cook-off, these two chefs will make Hyun Min...
the first dishes that he has ever tasted.
It's a cook-off between Kim Poong and Jeong Ho Young.
They said that they'd make me cry,
and I'm ready to cry now.
Ho Young is known for his dish of tears.
After he cooked for Park Chul Min,
he became an expert in dishes of tears.
He has to make only guests cry, but he cries too.
- That's the problem. - Right.
And whatever Poong cooks,
- it's the first dish in his life. - Right. It's a new dish.
It's the first dish for himself, the viewers,
- and the one who eats it. - Exactly.
They competed twice in this season.
- Poong won both the matches. - See?
- Ho Young must be... - Please give me some water.
nervous.
Ho Young has just been to Japan.
- He went abroad to learn more. - He did.
Will Hyun Min be able to cry after eating the first dishes in his life?
(Ho Young chose mackerel, seasoned fernbrake, pork ham,)
(dumplings, zucchini, oyster sauce, and seasoning.)
(Poong chose tofu, cucumbers, pork neck,)
(a bag of dried seafood, dried shrimp, and oyster sauce.)
What are you going to make, Ho Young?
The name of the dish I'm going to make today is...
Han Hyun Min Go! Hyun Min Go!
(Han Hyun Min Go! Hyun Min Go!)
- What? - Han Hyun Min Go! Hyun Min Go!
- Yes. - I see. Hyun Min,
do you know this song by any chance?
What is that? All I can remember is this dance move.
- What kind of dish is it? - I'll make two dishes...
using mackerel and bracken.
In Fukuoka, there is mackerel fried rice.
I'll grill mackerel and make fried rice.
With bracken, they make yukgaejang with it in Jeju Island.
It's their traditional food.
I'll make both Korean dish and Japanese dish.
Contending against him, what are you going to make, Poong?
The name of my dish today is Poong's Tofu with Rice.
- "Poong's Tofu with Rice?" - "Poong's Tofu with Rice?"
It's Sichuan-style tofu with rice.
And I'll make Chinese-style cucumber soup.
- Cucumber soup? - Make soup with cucumbers?
We Koreans rarely put cucumbers in soup,
but cucumbers are used for soup often.
For Sichuan-style tofu,
I'll make Hyun Su's soy sauce for soup base.
- That soy sauce? - He is using it right away.
And I'll add ground chili, garlic, and green onions,
and tofu, and stir-fry them together...
so that he can eat it with rice.
- Goodness. - I briefly explained...
about the sauce, but the ratio is very important.
- Of course. - To make it taste good.
He has to make it just after watching it.
If he is still willing to, I'm fine with it.
The cook-off will begin now.
I can't wait.
Poong makes every dish he cooks one of a kind.
He doesn't want to make any ordinary dish today.
Poong wants to make exotic food of his own style.
And Ho Young wants to make a dish that will stimulate...
not only your salivary glands but also tear ducts.
Will they make the first dishes that will be remembered forever?
The second cook-off begins now.
- Han Hyun Min Go! Hyun Min Go! - Han Hyun Min Go! Hyun Min Go!
- And Poong's Tofu with Rice. - Tofu with Rice
- He's making chili oil. - He turned off the stove.
Did he learn that kind of thing in Japan?
(Did he learn skill for Chinese food in Japan?)
(He mercilessly smashes bracken.)
- He's smashing it. - My goodness.
- It burst out. - Is that bracken?
- Yes. - There was seasoned bracken.
- Right. - He hammered it.
There is thick bracken...
in Jeju Island, and I think he wanted that textures.
- Bracken from Jeju Island is good. - Right. It's tender and delicious.
(He prepares pork ham next.)
(Add pork, garlic, and crushed dumplings...)
(to the bracken.)
- Can I crush them? - Yes.
Then I'll crush them like this.
What's the difference between ordinary yukgaejang...
and Jeju-style yukgaejang?
Beef is usually used for ordinary yukgaejang,
but for Jeju-style, they make soup with back ribs...
and use fully-cooked bracken.
I see.
Did he learn Jeju-style yukgaejang in Japan?
Have you been to Jeju Island or Japan?
My wife's parents live in Jeju Island,
so I stopped by Jeju Island on the way back from Japan.
You did?
(Poong concentrates on his dishes.)
(Blend red chili, Cheongyang chili, garlic, and green onions.)
What is Poong blending already?
He is grinding so much of Cheongyang chili.
- Is that Cheongyang chili? - Yes.
There are about 20 peppers.
Really? It must be really hot.
He's making the soy sauce that tastes like marinated crab.
Oh, it's the soy sauce that Hyun Su made.
Will Poong be able to make something that tastes the same?
He is an expert in copying something.
- He's putting in dried seafood bag. - He is.
There is too much soy sauce now.
- There is? - He'll add water.
Hyun Su boiled the seafood bag in plenty of water...
before pouring soy sauce.
But too much water will make it thin.
It should have...
- a deep flavor. - He'll need help soon.
- He is adding water immediately. - He is. This is important.
But to our surprise, regardless of the process,
- Poong makes good food... - It tastes good.
- in the end. - He does?
(Chili oil is done.)
(Sieve the chili oil.)
Here is a mackerel.
Ho Young is carefully removing the bones.
Do you like fish smell...
- or not? - I like fishy smell.
- You do? - It's a relief.
- It's a great relief. - You don't have to worry too much.
(Put the mackerel in an oiled pan and sprinkle salt.)
Do you pan-fry it before stir-frying it with rice?
I'll pan-fry and fully cook it first.
- So that it's not that fishy. - To get rid of fishy smell.
- It's rice wine. - The texture will bet better too.
- Is it wine? - It's rice wine.
(It's on fire.)
- It's rice wine. - It's a fire show.
It's a fire show. He's warming his hands.
- He can warm his hands to it. - Goodness.
That was great.
That's impressive.
The flame...
- burns the fish smell. - It eliminates the fish smell.
(Poong blends pork neck.)
He blended pork neck.
(Stir-fry vegetables, oyster sauce, red pepper powder, and pork neck.)
- I think this dish might be spicy. - Really?
If it's too spicy, he might take points off.
Judge carefully.
It's a bit like mapo tofu.
It's based on mapo tofu.
He is dicing tofu this time. He will add it to the wok.
Dubidubap.
- He will deep-fry tofu. - He will deep-fry tofu first.
Deep-frying tofu will add the mouthfeel.
He doesn't add it right away.
(Green onion, zucchini, onion)
(Oil a frying pan and stir-fry vegetables and rice.)
He is adding rice.
- Will you add mackerel to the rice? - Yes.
(Mash mackerel and add it to the other ingredients.)
The fried rice looks very bland.
I haven't seasoned it yet.
Really? Will you make it spicy?
Will you make it spicy?
He added Cheongyang pepper.
With Cheongyang pepper, I also made chili oil earlier.
I will add it to the rice and make the dish spicy.
I see.
(Poong gets ready to make cucumber soup.)
(Add a dried seafood bag and dried shrimp to boiling water.)
Poong is making cucumber soup.
He got better at slicing.
Do you like cucumber?
Yes. I dip it in gochujang.
Seong Joo,
please go out in the field.
I will do that.
Let's see whose dish will be tastier.
Please try Poong's soy sauce and see...
- if it tastes like... - Try the soy sauce.
Hyun Su's soy sauce.
(Did he recreate the original taste?)
Does it taste the same?
No, it doesn't.
(My goodness.)
It doesn't have a subtle taste. Tastes of soy sauce is too strong.
- It's too rich. - He used too much soy sauce.
It's too rich.
(He takes out deep-fried tofu.)
(Add deep-fried tofu and vinegar to make the sauce.)
- Try mapo tofu this time. - Mapo tofu.
It's water, cooking wine, and sugar.
Does it power walk into your heart?
Or does it turn and leave?
(My goodness.)
- Is it good? - Yes.
I think it's nice.
- It's pretty nice. - I see.
However, you should work on the soy sauce.
I will use it to season the tofu sauce.
(Did he make the soy sauce to season the tofu sauce?)
That's why it's not sweet.
(Ho Young opens the pressure cooker.)
He is making yukgaejang with bracken.
It's in Jeju Island style.
(Add water, red pepper powder, soy sauce, and chili oil and boil.)
(Blend the ingredients and boil once more.)
I will taste yukgaejang with bracken...
and see how it is right now.
(He tastes yukgaejang with bracken.)
- They will taste it together. - Let's see.
(Does the taste make him dance?)
Han Hyun Min Go! Hyun Min Go! Does it make you dance?
No, it doesn't.
(He adds seasoning.)
(Adding)
- You added too much. - It's terrible.
- It improved. - What did you add?
- Nothing. - The taste of home.
Did you add seasoning?
- Try it again. - The taste of home.
I will try it again.
(How does it taste with the taste of home?)
You won!
The taste changed right away.
The taste got deeper right away.
It's the taste of home.
Is that the broth?
- It's hot. - It must be hot.
Be careful.
- That's for cucumber soup. - Cucumber soup.
- The broth for cucumber soup. - Right?
He added a dried seafood bag...
and dried shrimp.
(Expectant)
Then it will taste a bit like seafood soup.
He will add cucumber to it.
(Oyster sauce)
It looks a bit bland.
I don't know if it will be okay.
- It's white. - I know.
I will try fried rice.
- Fried rice. - Fried rice.
- How will it taste? - Is that starch?
(Did he learn from studying abroad in Japan?)
Did he learn from studying abroad in Japan?
(I told you it's bland.)
It's bland.
(He adds more oyster sauce.)
It needs to be spicy.
- Okay. - It can be a lot spicier.
Compared to Poong's dish, it's nothing.
Otherwise, you should finish first.
Your dish will taste bland after Poong's dish.
20 seconds remain.
Ho Young should finish first.
You don't have much time. It's time to finish up the dishes.
It's almost time.
It looks like yukgaejang is ready.
- 10, 9, 8... - 10, 9, 8...
(Plate instant rice and tofu sauce.)
- 4, 3... - 4, 3...
(Top yukgaejang with Cheongyang pepper and red pepper powder.)
- Time's up. - Please ring the bell.
Poong rang the bell first.
Ho Young comes next. This is bad.
I think Ho Young should have rang the bell first.
I don't know how Hyun Min will like the spiciness.
I think Ho Young's dish is a bit bland.
(The cook-off ends.)
(Sichuan rice topped with tofu and Chinese cucumber soup)
(Webcomic artist Kim Poong's Poong's Tofu with Rice)
Thank you for the food.
Try some cucumber slices.
It's Sichuan cucumber soup.
- It's not Sichuan food. - I see.
It's often cooked in Chinese households.
- I am curious about the taste. - It's not Sichuan food.
It's clear soup.
Tofu with rice is Sichuan food.
What is it? Hyun Min smiled.
It's really tasty.
- The cucumber soup is? - Yes.
How is it tasty?
It's tasty. It's a bit like...
When you order fried rice, they give you soup like...
soybean paste soup.
- Like egg drop soup. - Yes.
It's something like that. It's tasty.
(The soup would be perfect with fried rice)
- The taste isn't stimulating. - No. It's nice.
He likes the soup.
It looks like a clumsy dish. I can't believe it's tasty.
- Seriously. - It's tasty.
That's Poong's strength.
- Try tofu with rice. - Okay.
- Tofu with rice. - It looks tasty.
- You know, - Poong's Tofu with Rice.
it has a spicy aftertaste.
It's Sichuan food.
- As a chef... - What is it?
Saltiness hits me first.
- It does, right? - What hits you first?
- Spiciness? Saltiness? - Saltiness hits me first.
Then spiciness hits me.
I see.
Saltiness comes 1st, spiciness comes 2nd.
- That's right. - Spiciness comes second.
(He takes another bite.)
It must be salty as well.
It's tasty, but how much salt did you put?
(It's very salty.)
- He added soy sauce. - Soy sauce.
That's right.
He added soy sauce.
I told you it's salty!
However, cucumber soup...
neutralizes saltiness.
You have cucumber soup.
If you add lemon, the taste will be different.
When you get used to saltiness, you won't know what's wrong with it.
The effect will come up 10 years later.
(Joking)
- You will have high blood pressure. - You will have blood clots.
Does it taste good with lemon?
There must be a reason why Poong provided it.
You have to add lemon.
- Did you add lemon? - It changes the taste.
(It's different, right?)
It changes the taste.
This is...
You aren't eating a lot.
While it's tasty,
- I will have to save it. - You will have to save it?
You will have to eat slowly.
I want to drink water.
It's too salty.
He is only eating cucumber soup.
(He loves cucumber soup.)
It's really tasty.
Maybe you should add rice to the soup.
You haven't had either one of the dishes, right?
- That's right. - All right.
Don't eat white rice only.
It's something I like.
- It's something you like. - It's salty, spicy,
and refreshing.
Also, he hasn't had it before.
(Fried rice with mackerel and yukgaejang with bracken)
(Chef Jeong Ho Young's Han Hyun Min Go! Hyun Min Go!)
- Thank you for the food. - Fried rice with mackerel is new.
It's Fukuoka style.
(He tries fried rice with mackerel.)
(Eating)
(Impressed)
He looks pleased.
- Does it taste okay? - He is smiling.
Poong's dish has a strong taste.
(Poong's dish has a strong taste.)
(I succeeded.)
Can you taste this dish?
- I taste the fish. - I see.
It's tasty.
How spicy is it?
- It's not very spicy. - Right?
The fish is a nice touch to fried rice. It's tasty.
(Mackerel is a nice touch to the Japanese fried rice.)
(He savors the dish.)
I am the most curious about this dish.
Yukgaejang with bracken.
- Mix in red pepper powder. - Yes.
- It's thick. - It's Jeju Island style.
It's like loach soup.
(Slurping)
How does it taste? Can you taste it?
I think it will be nice with rice.
That's right.
That's how you eat it.
All right.
(He mixes it with mackerel fried rice.)
It's a meeting between Fukuoka and Jeju Island.
(Slurping)
I like the combination of these two dishes.
Because they are the professionals,
they make dishes that go well together.
Is it something you have never had?
Of course.
- Both dishes? - Yes.
I haven't had bracken this way.
(Crushed bracken offers a unique mouthfeel.)
The fish, too.
I guess it's nothing to cry about.
I still want to learn the recipes.
When I try something new,
I want to make it for my siblings.
- Make it for your mom and dad. - I want to do that.
(He thinks about his family first.)
- Let's try the dishes. - I think it will be spicy.
The first dish we will try is Poong's Tofu with Rice.
Hyun Min praised it a lot.
(My goodness.)
(They add lemon juice.)
It's the sea.
It smells like the sea.
(Cucumber soup smells like the sea.)
- You like it, right? - Of course I do.
It's a bit spicy, so be careful when you eat it.
(It's spicy.)
(Impressed)
- It's nice. - It's not that salty.
It's very salty.
It's not too salty if you eat a lot of tofu.
You need to add a lot of tofu.
- I see. - You need to add a lot of tofu.
I liked it a lot.
It's spicy and refreshing.
I can't eat spicy food very well,
but this is so delicious in fact.
It's spicy yet attractive, and it's not greasy at all.
And it goes well with the cucumber soup.
It was not salty to me.
It was just spicy and delicious.
In Sichuan, they don't make mapo tofu that thick.
There is just a little bit of sauce.
It is right to make it quite dry like this.
This is authentic Sichuan style.
It wasn't salty to me either.
- It wasn't, right? - It was so delicious.
As for the cucumber soup, Hyun Min looked so amazed at it,
so I expected before eating it,
but I wondered, "Why was he amazed?"
But I found it so good. Am I the only one who likes it?
Next is Ho Young's food.
Han Hyun Min Go! Hyun Min Go!
It looks healthy.
The fried rice is chewy and good.
(He takes a bite of bracken yukgaejang.)
(Amazed)
This is amazing. It's so good.
He learned so much on the trip.
- It's good. - It's authentic.
You're eating so well.
(He can't help but give the thumbs up.)
It's really delicious.
It warms my heart...
and makes me feel comfortable.
This is so tasty.
I think it was a great idea to add...
- starch water at the end. - Starch water?
If you boil bracken for a long time,
you can have this kind of texture.
He made it within 15 minutes,
but it feels like he boiled it for hours.
I enjoyed it a lot.
Good. We've heard about the comments.
Press number one to vote for Ho Young,
and press number two to vote for Poong.
Make up your mind and press the button.
- Did you press it? - Yes.
He pressed the button.
Let's find out which food he chose.
Poong had won all the two matches against Ho Young.
Will Ho Young who learned more abroad be able to avenge?
Let's check out the result.
Which one did Hyun Min choose?
(Kim Poong wins.)
It's Kim Poong.
(Poong's Tofu with Rice wins.)
Poong won the match.
- Kim Poong won. - He did.
- He defeated Ho Young again. - He did.
I was so captivated...
- by this cucumber soup. - It did?
I think I gave in to the cucumber soup.
You did? I see.
Then Poong won...
all the tree matches against Ho Young.
You must feel dejected since you even studied abroad.
Japan and Jeju Island are like my right and left arm.
Now, I feel like they're all cut off.
- But the fried rice was good. - For goodness' sake.
- Well... - The cucumber soup dominated.
- He lost his right and left arm. - I was captivated by the cucumber.
I'd like to let my friends eat it too.
- Will they like it too? - They will love it.
- Will they say, "It's dope"? - Yes.
- They'd say, "Is this real?" - "Is this real?"
"What on earth happened to the cucumber?"
- They'd say something like this. - "What on earth..."
- "What the..." - Right. They'd say that.
Now, Poong is receiving the seventh star badge.
Congratulations, Poong.
