The project that turns your leftovers...
into an amazing dish!
The best chefs in Korea will...
take care of your fridge.
A classy cooking talk show!
- Chef and My Fridge. - Chef and My Fridge.
(Chef and My Fridge)
Welcome!
(Singing)
What is it?
They resuscitate ingredients in the fridge...
that fell into a coma with only a knife and fire.
They're the chef doctors. Here is the legion of eight chefs.
(Top chef doctors)
Chef Song Hoon is with us again following last week.
(It's good to see you.)
He had a strong presence during his first appearance.
He's very impressive.
(His skills are outstanding.)
He looks at the clock.
(He's even charismatic.)
(Chef Song Hoon impressed the queen of trot music.)
When the last episode was aired,
- we got a lot of good response. - Yes.
He'll bring a fierce competition on the show.
("He Wins As Soon As He Appears On The Show.")
How was your first cook-off, Chef Song?
I was very nervous during the shoot.
This made me most nervous.
When Yeon Bok was up,
his hands were shaking.
(Embarrassed)
- He's considered the top. - If he was shaking...
- Right. - He saw that.
He's shaking because of his age.
He's not shaking because he's nervous.
- It's a misunderstanding. - I misunderstood.
Let me add one thing.
Even Gordon Ramsay was shaking when he came here.
That's right.
Even Gordon Ramsay?
- He's very busy. - Very busy.
(Chef and My Fridge kitchen made Gordon Ramsay nervous.)
There's someone who's confident about...
defeating Song Hoon.
"I can break Song Hoon."
Kim Poong?
(Kim Poong says, "I can break Song Hoon.")
- I knew it. - "I'll break him", is what he said.
It's a messy mud fight on Chef and My Fridge.
So I'll slather mud on him and drag him in.
(He's a professional in mud fights.)
I don't want to lose.
He has everything.
Let's find out how far...
Song Hoon's confidence will take him.
Let's invite our guests today.
For the final episode of Family Month Special,
a legion of elitist married couples will join us today.
Whom do we have today? Please come out.
Who are they?
Romantic doctors.
Who are they?
(Ko Ji Yong, Hur Yang Im, Yeo Esther, Hong Hye Geol)
- Ko Ji Yong and Hur Yang Im. - Welcome.
Yeo Esther and Hong Hye Geol.
- Hello. - Hello.
It's like they're on a date.
Hello.
Please have a seat.
We have two couples with us today.
This couple became more famous as parents of...
their six-year-old son, Seung Jae.
In the past, an idol singer. Currently, an office worker.
This is Seung Jae's father, Ko Ji Yong.
She's known as Kim Tae Hee in medicine.
This is Hur Yang Im, a doctor in family medicine.
- Hello. - Welcome.
Hello, hello.
It's our first time being on a variety show together.
I look forward to it.
Thank you for coming.
These two are...
the hottest Seoul National University medical doctors.
She's a doctor in family medicine and an iconic figure in menopause.
This is Yeo Esther.
He's Korea's first reporter in medicine.
This is Hong Hye Geol.
- Welcome. - Welcome.
(It's nice to meet you, chefs.)
We'll do our best and not argue with each other.
I'll do my best and not try to get into an argument.
It happens that they're both couples in the field of medicine...
- except for one. - Yes.
- Right? - I'm just a doctor's husband.
- A doctor's husband? - Yes.
Also, Yang Im and Esther are...
both doctors in family medicine.
Did you know each other?
It's my first time meeting her in person.
She's pretty both in person and on screen.
(Embarrassed)
Is this your first time meeting her?
I saw you a lot on TV.
As soon as we met, I held her hand and greeted her.
(It's nice to meet you.)
They must be familiar since they're in the same field.
Apparently, Yeo Esther did...
a thorough background research on Hur Yang Im.
A guest did a background research on another guest?
Yes.
Hur Yang Im was born in 1980.
- I see. - Is that so?
- Write that down. - She was born in 1980.
She graduated from Ewha Womans University.
She received her training in Mokdong.
She was a clinical doctor in Inje University Paik Hospital.
She's now a professor in family medicine.
She does a lot of research.
(A perfect analysis)
She's Yang Im's senior doctor.
She even memorized it.
Chefs need to learn this.
I also did a lot of research on Ko Ji Yong.
It may be time-consuming, but is it okay?
- Yes. - He made his debut in 1997.
I'm not sure if he made his debut with his singing skills.
(She's thorough only with facts.)
She isn't sure.
You don't have to say that.
He was cast on the street for his good looks.
- Really? - Yes.
He was known for his good looks in the group.
He quit early and went to study abroad.
December 13, 2013 is your wedding anniversary, right?
Now you're working on the show with Seung Jae.
Yes.
How do you know their wedding anniversary?
Is there anything she said that needs correction?
There were a few things to point out.
I wasn't the main vocalist at that time.
So she's right.
Doesn't he look more like a doctor...
than an idol singer?
- Yes. - Right?
He looks like a doctor in internal medicine.
Internal medicine suits his looks.
Now he's Seung Jae's dad...
and an office worker.
Based on Hur Yang Im's looks,
many people mistake her as an actress.
She looks similar to Kim Tae Hee, Lee Min Jung, and Su Ae.
(Kim Tae Hee, Lee Min Jung, and Su Ae)
Have you heard that before?
Goodness. It's embarrassing.
That means she's heard people call her that before.
Right.
Normally, people give this gesture in disapproval.
- "No, no." - She's embarrassed.
- I feel... - It means she heard that often.
I feel bad for the actresses.
Is that so?
During Hur Yang Im's residency,
doctors came to take a look at her.
She was the first beautiful female doctor.
Isn't the first one Yeo Esther?
(I shouldn't have said that.)
- "Look at me." - That's right.
To be honest, in college,
- We know our place. - he wasn't handsome.
I wasn't pretty either.
Still,
- they were a beautiful couple. - Of course.
I bet you were famous.
Seong Ju, why do you stammer?
Why do you stammer? You're the host.
- You're a famous host. - He often stammers.
Did you know anything about that, Ji Yong?
I heard that she was popular.
My friend who introduced my wife to me was...
an assistant professor at Ewha Womans University Medical Center.
I saw her in passing.
- And I was introduced to her. - I see.
Did you fall in love at first sight? What happened?
I didn't think I'd see him again after that day.
He didn't seem much interested in me.
At that time, I was going on many blind dates.
It was then.
Did you go on many blind dates?
Goodness.
I was at that age.
Usually after a date, people send you a text message...
- asking if you got home safely. - Right.
He didn't, so I didn't think we were interested in each other.
- Didn't he take your number? - He did. But he didn't contact me.
Maybe I'm not a romantic guy.
But I dropped her off right in front of her door.
So I knew she got home safely.
I saw her getting inside her house.
- Ji Yong's right. - Yes, he's right.
- He has a point there. - Yes.
I was really busy the next day.
- I called her the day after that. - The day after that.
- That's when I called her again. - Two days after you met.
That's how we got to have our second date.
Yes. Let's move on to Yeo Esther and Hong Hye Geol.
You two first met as a resident and an intern?
That's right. I was a resident in the emergency room.
- My husband was an intern then. - An intern.
- He then joined the army. - I joined the army.
I met her after a few years. It was totally coincidental.
She was a full-time doctor, and I was a reporter.
- We met in a seminar room. - I see.
I remembered how we met in the emergency room a few years back.
My goodness.
We got married 92 days after the day we met in that seminar room.
- In 92 days? - In 92 days.
That was very quick.
- That's awesome. - Goodness.
- It's 94 days. - 94 days.
What happened to the missing days?
What were you doing in those two missing days?
What happened to those two days?
He had a business trip to the US.
- So it must be the time difference. - I see.
- So it's not his fault. - No.
You have to ignore those two days of traveling.
I heard that you still called her...
as a doctor even after you got married.
- Of course. - So we got married.
But he would wait for me with a glass of water and a towel...
after I get out of the bathroom.
- What? - Goodness. Really?
He waited for me in front of the bathroom.
But it's all meaningless now. It has been so long.
Now he's all arrogant now.
He speaks very rudely too.
So he got arrogant.
Ji Yong and Yang Im have been married for six years.
The couple is indulged in raising their son.
I think your son looks a lot like you.
- My goodness. - They do look alike.
- Gosh, look at them. - Yes.
That's Ji Yong and his son.
The crying boy on the left...
- is Seung Jae. - I see.
The one on the right is me. It's taken when I was young.
- Really? - You two look alike.
We look a lot alike when we cry.
Our crying faces...
Do you admit that, Yang Im?
Does he look like his father?
Seung Jae says that he looks like me. He says that himself.
- He says that himself? - Yes.
So if people ask him,
- he says he looks like you. - Yes.
I searched about Ji Yong...
on the internet before I met him.
He's known for bad breath.
That's what I learned.
Does he really have bad breath?
- Esther isn't saying anything. - He's worried.
I'll tell you a funny story.
What are you talking about?
We were making toys at home. I blew on it...
to make sure it was glued properly.
It's not that I had bad breath. It was the smell of the glue.
But they made a news release about it.
- I don't have bad breath. - Okay.
So it was the smell of the glue?
Ji Yong has clarified himself on this.
A lot of viewers love Seung Jae.
This video of him taking care of his dad who got sick...
from drinking drew a lot of attention.
I'm sick from drinking too much.
- You're sick from drinking? - Yes.
(All right.)
(He gets water in a basket.)
(Dad, I'm on my way.)
He wants to wash his father's face.
(Dad, get up!)
(He pours cold water on Ji Yong's face.)
(Giggling)
(He's a good son.)
All right.
He wasn't trying to wash Ji Yong's face. He just wanted him to get up.
I almost got angry.
Didn't you ask him to do it?
"Go and splash it on your dad's face."
I've never done anything like that before.
I know.
He must have learned it from somewhere.
He couldn't have done it by himself. He's just a kid.
You have a point. That's convincing.
I never did that.
All right.
(In a few minutes,)
(Seung Jae will be joining as a surprise guest.)
(Seung Jae will get to pick the winner today.)
(Thumbs up)
(Who will get Seung Jae's thumbs up?)
Are you worried about your husband's health...
as a doctor?
- My husband? - Yes.
He really doesn't want me to talk about this.
But I noticed that he's having hair loss these days.
So I asked him to take medication for that.
You have hair loss?
Men are very sensitive about their hair loss.
The only good part about him is his good-looking face.
His good-looking face is all that he has.
I did notice that I have hair loss on my forehead.
But I have a lot of hair on top.
I see.
Many of my friends have...
- lost hair on the top. - I know.
Jung Hwan, give him your medication.
What? We're not worried at all.
- Hair loss? - No need to worry!
(Look how confident they are.)
- He looks okay on the outside. - He has a lot of hair.
But the forehead is getting a bit larger.
I could see it while he was sleeping.
It won't be treated if it starts to progress.
So I asked him to take medication in advance.
Let me help Yang Im.
Ji Yong, you need to take medication.
It's about time he takes it.
I can notice that your hair loss has started already.
I think Poong should take it too.
Who? Poong?
- Poong, listen carefully. - Me too?
You really should take it.
She's very earnest.
She's giving you advice with all her heart.
- His hair is still fine. - It looks okay.
My forehead is just large.
Do you have to take medication before you start to have hair loss?
Hair loss medication works better...
if you take it in the early stage.
But most people start getting treatment...
seven years after the first signs show.
They try to get it cured by consuming black soybeans.
- That's right. - So they see a doctor...
after it gets a lot worse.
When people can tell that your hair loss has started,
it might be too late to take medication.
- He's very interested in hair loss. - Yes.
Of course.
But Yeon Bok's hair seems fine.
- Mine looks okay? - His hair looks just fine.
Goodness.
- Even though I'm old. - He's fine despite his age.
How about Sam's hair?
I have to take a look at the top of his head.
But the forehead looks fine. He has a lot of hair.
- He has a lot of hair. - Yes.
- She has to see the top. - He's not stressed at all.
Is there any way to detect hair loss by self-diagnosis?
Self-diagnosis?
Yes. Self-diagnosis.
The back part is where the hair stays for the longest.
You can touch both front and back hair.
If the front hair is thinner,
you can tell that you are likely to have hair loss.
When you pull a few strings of your front hair...
and they get pulled out a lot,
it could be a sign of hair loss.
So do black soybeans really work for hair loss?
Is that true? How about seaweed?
Consuming a lot of protein helps.
(Well...)
I'm sorry.
You should start taking care of your hair.
I should.
Everyone's so interested in this subject.
So it's important to take medication...
before hair loss starts to progress.
- Prevention is the best cure. - Yes.
All right. Let's take a look at...
Ji Yong and Yang Im's fridge.
- Okay. - Seung Jae also uses it too.
- It's a fridge for three of you. - Yes.
She's a family medicine physician.
Their fridge must be filled with all nutritional supplements.
I'm sure it will be exemplary to all of us.
It's a fridge that keeps them healthy.
Of course.
Our episode for this week and next week...
will have useful tips because of these family medicine doctors.
When you take a look at...
their ingredients in their fridges,
it will be helpful to make healthy meals.
But there's a man who is not so helpful.
He's just a company employee.
(Ko Ji Yong: A former idol singer, a 40-year-old businessman)
Let's see what kind of food he eats.
Who takes care of the fridge?
That was sudden.
I'm sorry, but is it Seung Jae?
You two are silent. Then who takes care of your fridge?
So is it Seung Jae who takes care of your fridge?
I'm the one who does grocery shopping.
- I take care of it. - He gets stuff that I don't buy.
He buys stuff that he wants to have.
They're not being straightforward.
- Doctor Ahn. - Yes.
- Let's get ready. - Okay.
Shall we start?
- It's a fridge owned by a doctor. - Yes.
We have to check it thoroughly.
- Shall we take a look? - Okay.
It's Seung Jae's fridge.
Let's see what's inside.
Let's take a look inside...
- Seung Jae's fridge. - Seung Jae's fridge.
- Let's take a look. - Let's take a look.
(This part is eye-catching.)
Alcohol is the first thing we can see, right?
I wanted to see something else.
Look at the third shelf. It's full of alcohol.
All I need is that much of alcohol at home.
In fact, we don't really...
drink soju at home.
But we recently had guests.
That's the leftover.
You are trying to protect your husband.
Yes.
This must be delivery food.
Those are pickles from delivered pizza.
- Okay. - You had a lot of pizza.
- Yes. - I can see that.
So you like pizza. You like Western food?
It's not that I like Western food,
but I like instant food or delivered food.
What do you usually order?
- I have fried chickens. - Fried chickens.
- Pizza. - Snacks.
- I like jjolmyeon. - Tteokbokki and jjolmyeon.
So he likes those snacks.
After I got married, I realized...
that he eats just like a kid.
He doesn't really have healthy foods.
- He likes instant food. - Yes.
We went on a trip recently.
We were at this restaurant that served all types of vegetables.
He ate all of them. It was a balanced meal.
So I complimented him a lot.
I got complimented.
"You finished your vegetables."
- His taste is like a kid's. - Yes.
What's on the second shelf?
What's this white thing?
- What is this? - It's in a big container.
- Is it tofu? What is this? - It looks like yogurt.
- It's yogurt. - Is there bean flour?
- It's yogurt? - Yes.
It's a lot.
The store-bought ones tend to be high in sugar.
If you microwave...
1L of milk,
it becomes warm.
Then I put one bottle of store-bought yogurt.
If I leave it for one night, it ferments.
That's how I made it.
That's excellent.
- That's plain yogurt. - Right.
Harvard University did some research.
They found four types of food that helped weight loss.
- What were they? - Vegetables,
- Vegetables. - nuts,
whole-grains, and plain yogurt.
- Really? - Among these four,
the most effective one...
was plain yogurt.
Just your plain, old yogurt.
- My goodness. - It helps...
- with weight loss. - And it should be...
- plain yogurt. - Yes.
I don't eat it.
He doesn't like it.
It's too bland.
It's not tasty for him.
Having some additives in the yogurt...
- Right. - makes it tastier.
- Usually, the chefs gave advice... - This is interesting.
- to our guests. - Right.
But it's the other way around today.
It's surprising.
- He even mentioned Harvard. - They're teaching them.
- Right. - It's like those morning shows.
I'm loving this atmosphere. Now, what's this?
I think she soaked multi-grains in water.
Multi-grains have...
many good minerals and vitamins.
We opt for that when we eat.
Since he doesn't like beans, we can't have bean rice.
You're raising two sons.
That's why we have multi-grain rice.
- He's such a kid. - It's too dry for me.
- It's too dry? - He doesn't like the taste.
It's too dry. Let's go down a shelf.
Here comes the side dishes. I think these are cooked beans.
I bet your eldest son doesn't like them either.
- He needs to eat them. - Yes.
Eating them will help...
- your hair to grow. - Exactly.
You should have them.
Both of my sons only like meat.
Seung Jae and I have similar tastes in food.
- They have similar tastes. - They do.
They have similar tastes.
- The brothers get along together. - Yes, they do.
They must be so close.
Next are lotus roots.
- Here they are. - They're lotus roots.
I'm worried about Seung Jae because he doesn't like greens.
I wanted him to eat more greens,
so I've made a small garden at home.
I grow vegetables there.
I thought maybe he'd start eating them if he watched them grow.
But it's of no use.
Since it tastes bitter, he doesn't like it.
The only thing he does eat are lotus roots.
I think it's because they taste sweet and salty.
They're tasty.
- For whom? - Seung Jae.
- Seung Jae. - I don't like them.
- You don't? - Before we got married,
- he rarely tasted them. - Why?
Is it because of the texture?
- I think it is. - I see.
I don't like Jerusalem artichokes either.
I try hard to feed them these foods.
- You need to subdue him first. - It's hard.
If you do,
it'll be easy to feed Seung Jae.
Seung Jae will eat it once his older brother does.
- Right. - You need to enjoy it for him.
- Exactly. - He needs to.
- There needs to be a competition. - Exactly.
- There's salmon. - I love salmon.
Who likes salmon?
I prefer fish over meat.
I like salmon.
- They're rich in omega-3. - Right.
Seung Jae and I get nervous when there isn't meat...
- in the fridge. - They like meat.
You prefer meat over fish.
- They like meat the most. - When it comes to fish,
I'd have them if they're given, but I don't look for them.
- You don't look for them. - No.
You don't ask her to cook you some.
- But he loves meat. - All right.
- Here are the greens. - All right.
- There's a lot. - They need to eat a lot of this.
- I see fatsia shoots. - Fatsia shoots.
- Spinach. - Spinach.
Is this sedum?
They grow in our garden.
We spotted them one day.
But as time passed by, there were more of them.
Now, we have quite a lot.
I think our neighbor dropped some seeds.
- Yes. - Really?
I think that's how they spread.
- They kept spreading. - We never planted them.
- I see. - We have them often.
There are many fruits here.
There are Korean melons, grapes, and bell peppers.
Seung Jae doesn't like greens,
but he enjoys fruits.
- They're sweet and sour. - Since he doesn't eat greens,
I buy a variety of fruits.
- There's a lot in here. - He enjoys them.
There are green grapes too.
What is this?
It's jelly.
Is this Seung Jae's snack?
He opens the fridge whenever he wants,
- so I hid it there. - I see.
I see.
- Now, he'll find out. - I know.
Once he watches this show, he'll know.
- But he can't reach it. - He can't?
I think it's Ji Yong's.
- No. - Are you sure?
- He doesn't like... - I don't like sweet stuff.
- sweet foods. - You don't?
The only sugary thing I like is coke...
and tonic water that I can mix into my drinks.
He likes everything that's unhealthy.
- All right. - Other than them,
- I don't enjoy sugary foods. - I see.
- Let's open the freezer. - All right.
There are many plastic bags.
- They're... - Are they mini pork cutlets?
- Are they meat balls? - It's for Seung Jae.
He doesn't like greens,
but he'd eat them if they're barely there.
So I use chicken or pork and mix vegetables in them.
Since the batter is tasty,
that's why I made that.
Here comes the meat.
Korean rib eye.
Here's Korean rib eye.
I see that your eyes are glistening.
Seung Jae and I get one each.
I see. These are for you guys.
- Right. - Goodness.
We have many different types of ramyeon too.
- Do you eat them often? - Yes.
- Do you like them? - Yes.
I eat a variety of them.
- You're not picky with ramyeon. - No.
- You don't just like one brand. - No.
You're not picky.
- You're not. - He's not picky with ramyeon.
- I know. - You have a variety.
- He eats a variety. - Yes.
That's the only food I'm not picky with.
Do you seriously think that's something to brag about?
Since we have experts here, I'd like to ask a question.
Is ramyeon really that harmful...
for children?
I have no right to answer that...
because for the past week,
I had half a bowl of ramyeon four different times.
- I see. - If I must answer,
it's very high in sodium, but it's better than starving.
- That is my answer. - I see.
- Yes. - If you crave it,
you can have it, but stay away from drinking too much broth.
I think having it 2 to 3 times a week could be okay.
Ramyeon is a charming type of food.
She comes to me after smelling it.
So I always ask her whether she's going to have some or not.
- That way, - They always say no!
- Then they eat it! - I'll know how many to cook.
- Ramyeon tastes the best when... - He must really like it.
- eat someone else's. - No.
- When you steal from them. - When you steal from them.
I see.
- Just hold onto your chopsticks. - Right.
There's seaweed here too.
- Yes. - Do you put this into the ramyeon?
Ji Yong and Seung Jae both don't like soup.
- But they have seaweed soup. - They do?
Seaweed soup is great for pregnant women.
- Yes. - Right.
- It's rich in fiber. - It's rich in fiber...
- and vitamins. - And iodine.
- Yes, they're a healthy choice. - They're good.
We finished looking through Ko Ji Yong and Hur Yang Im's fridge.
As we had expected, we gained some knowledge...
and also witnessed some faults.
Their preferences seem to be very different.
Please show us what they want to eat.
Please show them.
What kinds of food do they want?
- "Romance for our 40s". - "Romance for our 40s".
"Featuring Salmon and Seaweed". What is this dish?
My husband enjoys...
- meat the most. - Right.
We both turned 40 this year.
I thought we should pay more attention...
- to our health. - Right.
I'd like him to be able to enjoy food...
that he didn't enjoy in the past.
Also, the only way...
I cook seaweed is by making seaweed soup.
Other than that,
I don't know how to cook seaweed.
So I'd like to learn from you all.
I see. Since you've turned 40, you should take care of your health.
- Yes. - Right.
What's the second dish?
Baby Seung Jae
Loves Greens
I think I'm right.
Seung Jae's name is in it.
For kids, vegetables that are green...
must look more like grass to them.
- Right. - And kids can detect...
bitterness very well.
So I'd like to have a dish that kids can eat well.
- Something Seung Jae can eat well? - Exactly.
He really likes animals...
- and dinosaurs. - I see.
If you could make the food look like them...
- Plate the food in animal shapes? - Yes.
If you do,
I think he'll become very interested.
- That's my opinion. - My goodness.
You should keep dinosaurs in mind when plating.
- Any animal will work. - They just need...
- his attention. - Right.
- Now, I'll announce the chefs. - Okay.
Se Deuk, Poong, Yeon Bok, and Raymon.
(Lee Yeon Bok versus Oh Se Deuk)
(Raymon Kim versus Kim Poong)
The first competition,
using Ko Ji Yong and Hur Yang Im's ingredients...
are 2 chefs who both have 2 consecutive wins so far.
It's Se Deuk versus Yeon Bok.
Se Deuk and Sam Kim...
share first place.
If he wins this match,
he'll become the sole winner.
Don't you want that?
I do.
But I'll be quite busy today.
So I won't talk a lot.
- What? - Why not?
- He won't talk a lot. - You're afraid we'll criticize you?
Yeon Bok is the doctor of this show.
When it comes to health and invigorating foods,
he's second to none.
Last week, he cured Jang Yun Jung...
of her arthritis.
(She tried Yeon Bok's pine nut noodles.)
(She loved it.)
(She was surprised.)
He's a breathing book of medicine.
You're right.
- He's pretty much a doctor. - That's right.
The theme of this round...
is a dish that's good for 40-year-olds.
Yeon Bok is in his 50s.
He's going to celebrate his 60th birthday on our show.
Don't say that!
I'll give you a piggyback ride.
I'm guessing you barely remember when you were in your 40s.
My son is in his 40s.
His son is in his 40s.
(Goodness, Father.)
Life starts in your 60s.
Mine just started.
(Chef Oh Se Deuk's ingredient choice)
(Salmon, cream cheese, seaweed, ssamjang, smoked salmon, somen,)
(Korean melon, white kimchi, apple, sugar, fatsia shoots, sedum)
(Chef Lee Yeon Bok's ingredient choice)
(Salmon, Manila clams, seaweed, sedum, pasta, dried mussels,)
(spinach, abalone, oyster sauce, bell peppers, doubanjiang)
What did you prepare, Se Deuk?
My dish is called...
Seaweed Once Again.
- "Seaweed Once Again". - "Seaweed Once Again".
Today, I'll use seaweed and salmon.
I'll make noodles with soy sauce.
I'll add fatsia shoots.
I'll also add white kimchi.
Spring onions and onions prevent us from absorbing...
calcium.
I will not use spring onions or onions today.
(Very excited)
I'll make the sauce with Korean melon.
I'll make two dishes with salmon.
I'll marinate one with ssamjang and grill it.
The other one is smoked salmon.
I'll mix it with cream cheese and wasabi.
It'll be a side dish.
That's a lot.
His opponent is Yeon Bok.
What dish will you make?
(Singing)
(Everyone pays attention.)
(What's wrong with my age?)
(Noodles are)
(Perfect)
(For the age of 40)
(Noodles Perfect for Age of 40)
I'll make a sauce by grinding seaweed.
I'll use abalone, Manila clams,
and mussels.
After searing salmon, I'll put it...
on top of sedum. They don't like vegetables,
so I'll grill bell peppers and add it to some pasta.
There are times when you realize how delicious vegetables are.
I hope you'll try it.
We will now start the cook-off.
Which chef will keep the couples in their 40s healthy?
We will now start the 15-minute cook-off!
(15-minute cook-off starts.)
- Is that salt? - It is.
A lot of salt must be added to peel the eggs easily.
Ho Young, 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
(He's assigned to set the timer.)
(He's a multitasker in the world of Unichef.)
(Add green onions, garlic, and chili pepper powder in boiling oil.)
(Microwave the mix to make chili oil.)
(Yeon Bok pours sesame oil on the pan.)
(Then he stir-fries garlic...)
(and seaweed soaked in water.)
He's using seaweed.
It's been a while since Yeon Bok made pasta.
He's making Western food.
Usually he makes fresh noodles, but not today.
- Are there pasta noodles? - It's a different type of noodles.
I heard that they like pasta.
Will you add abalone to the pasta?
Yes, I'll add it to the pasta.
Is it pasta with seaweed and abalone?
Abalone is good for health.
Do you feel bothered?
(A big laugh)
Does abalone go well with pasta noodles...
or seaweed?
- What? - Abalone.
- Abalone and what? - What goes well with...
- abalone? - With the noodles.
Pasta with seaweed might be bland.
When I add chopped abalone to it,
it becomes chewy. If I don't finish in time,
Seong Ju is responsible for it.
Are you busy? I see.
Grind seaweed.
(He focuses only on cooking.)
I'll make pasta sauce.
- He's making pasta sauce. - Pasta sauce.
He'll make it by grinding seaweed.
Slime comes out, and it will be sticky.
I think he's planning to make a roux.
He's making a roux.
- What is it? - I think he said "roux".
- Roux. - Roux.
(He puts ssamjang,)
(sugar, crushed garlic, and ginger juice in the blender.)
(Put salmon in a plastic bag.)
(Mix with the blend.)
Can you mix this for me, Ho Young?
(Mixing)
Se Deuk, you're good at peeling Korean melon.
(His use of knife grabs our attention.)
I knew it.
He's moving the knife a few times, and the peels are falling off.
That's done often at night clubs.
(It's a basic alcohol accompaniment.)
One more order of fruit, please.
2 minutes 30 seconds.
(He takes out the boiled eggs at an accurate time.)
Peel them, Ho Young.
(Multitasker Unichef also peels eggs.)
(After digging out the inside of Korean melon, slice it thinly.)
I'm about to grind Korean melon.
(Grind Korean melon, soy sauce, sugar, crushed garlic, and vinegar.)
What else do you add to Korean melon?
Korean melon, soy sauce, garlic, and sugar.
- Sugar and what else? - Vinegar.
Do you like ramyeon?
- Ramyeon seasoning? - Yes.
(It's exactly what he loves.)
He's grinding Korean melon with ramyeon seasoning.
Ramyeon seasoning is perfect for mixed noodles.
Mixed noodles?
I love noodle dishes.
For mixed noodles,
Korean melon gives a sweet flavor.
It changes the flavor.
- It substitutes gochujang. - It's healthy and sweet.
(He adds Korean melon sauce.)
It looks delicious.
- Can we eat it too? - Of course.
(Add Cheongyang pepper, soaked seaweed, and sesame oil.)
Which one do you want to eat?
- Mixed noodles. - Mixed noodles?
This couple is more attracted to mixed noodles.
Yeon Bok is grilling bell peppers right now.
He's making more Western food lately.
You're right.
- He's very unique. - Yes.
He's making changes.
I'm grilling them.
(Hyun Su acts condescendingly.)
We're with two doctors in family medicine.
In our explanation,
if there's something wrong, please correct it.
Yeon Bok is cutting bell peppers.
They're full of calcium and phosphorus.
They're effective in preventing osteoporosis.
It's full of beta-carotene that's anticarcinogenic.
It also prevents adult diseases and aging.
- Yes. - Is that right?
For example, red and orange bell peppers are...
full of beta-carotene.
You don't have to get...
calcium and phosphorus from bell peppers.
- Low-fat yogurt is better. - Low-fat yogurt?
If I say this, won't Chef Yeon Bok lose?
No.
He's busy.
He made broth.
(Make broth by boiling Manila clam in water.)
He's making broth.
(He takes something out from the plastic.)
What's that? Is it salmon?
Yes, he's grilling salmon.
(Grill marinated salmon on a greased pan.)
(Impressed)
It looks delicious.
He's putting skewers into...
salmon.
When it's seared,
fat is removed, and it becomes savory.
It's delicious.
Is that sesame oil?
Sesame oil? He needs an assistant chef.
Assistant Yu Hyun Su.
- Yu Hyun Su. - Yes.
I'm very nervous.
Even I feel nervous.
(Guests are more nervous than the chefs.)
Hyun Su should grill the salmon carefully.
(Hyun Su takes on an important task.)
It's possible that...
- Hyun Su ruins everything. - Right.
He's in charge of an important task.
They're both using salmon.
It's full of omega-3 fatty acids.
It's good for preventing heart diseases.
It's full of vitamin D and helps us absorb calcium.
That's correct.
Seaweed has a lot of calcium.
- Salmon has a lot of vitamin D. - I see.
It's better when they're eaten together.
(Seaweed and salmon are a perfect combination.)
- Look at that. - He suddenly became an assistant.
He's peeling apples this time.
Look at that.
(Peel apples.)
One more plate of fruit, please.
He's good at it.
I tried to try that, but I couldn't.
It's hard. It's hard with a big knife.
(Singing)
It's very hard.
He's adding a lot of fruit.
- Right. - They said that they like fruit.
He's making mixed noodles.
That's true.
It has to be refreshing.
- You have five minutes left. - Already?
Jung Hwan will go out in the field.
Which chef will make a dish that's good for the age of 40?
Yeon Bok is cutting...
abalone right now.
It's full of arginine.
It's good for recovering strength.
- Right? - Yes.
(I'm the famous host.)
That's nice and clean.
I'll taste and see if abalone is cooked.
Try some abalone.
(Grabbing)
It looks fresh.
Is it helpful for recovering strength?
It's full of arginine.
How does it taste, Jung Hwan?
(How does it taste?)
Wait, I'll try some more.
(That's nice and clean.)
(Se Deuk starts something.)
Se Deuk has started to plate.
Se Deuk already started to plate.
(Sprinkle lemon juice and soy sauce over sedum.)
(Place it on salmon.)
(His side dish is ready.)
Has Yeon Bok made his sedum dish yet?
- Have you? - He has to make his sedum dish.
He has more Chinese sauces, so he's at an advantage.
He's using doubanjiang and oyster sauce.
(Mix gochujang, vinegar, sugar, doubanjiang, and oyster sauce.)
- Spinach. - Spinach.
- It's sedum. - He's using sedum.
It's full of vitamin C and phosphoric acid.
It lowers the cholesterol and prevents adult diseases.
(Even doctors are satisfied with his explanation.)
- It's confirmed right away. - Yes.
(He slices garlic.)
He's making pasta sauce with seaweed which is different.
- He forgot about it. It's hot. - Which one is hot?
- What happened? - No, no.
- He forgot about it. - They're clams.
They're mussels.
(Cook somen in boiling water.)
Se Deuk added fatsia shoots to the noodles.
Se Deuk is taking out the noodles.
Se Deuk is handling the noodles. Fatsia shoots.
- Fatsia shoots. - Yes.
- Fatsia shoots. - Fatsia shoots.
(He washes fatsia shoots in ice water.)
He puts them in cold water.
- Fatsia shoots. - Fatsia shoots.
(Singing)
Fatsia shoots.
I don't know how to cook fatsia shoots.
I blanch them and eat them with chogochujang.
We usually eat it with chogochujang.
- You only have 30 seconds. - 30 seconds.
He took out his pasta.
He added pasta sauce.
- Pasta. - Pasta, pasta.
- He's making mixed noodles. - Mixed noodles and pasta.
It's a battle between noodles.
The one who finishes first has an advantage.
You can pour them out later.
You have 15 seconds.
15 seconds.
(Please stop the time.)
- Go. - It's hot.
(Add thinly sliced abalone to complete the dish.)
- He added abalones. - 7, 6,
- 5, 4... - 5, 4...
(Se Deuk makes the last spurt.)
(Add grilled salmon to the dish...)
(and sprinkle sesame oil.)
- 3, 2. - 3, 2.
He is done. Yeon Bok is done.
Se Deuk is done as well.
Hold on. Let me add this to the dish.
- Let me add this to the dish. - What is that?
- Chili oil. - My goodness.
I forgot to sprinkle it to the dish.
Did you forget to sprinkle chili oil?
- Then I want to make changes, too. - What?
I want to slice the salmon.
He wants to slice the salmon.
- If you want to add chili oil... - I just need to slice it.
- He wants to slice the salmon. - Forget it.
- Really? - Forget it.
Don't you need to add the sauce?
Forget it.
(At that moment)
(My goodness.)
Gosh, I forgot about the eggs.
- He forgot about the eggs. - My goodness.
Please slice the salmon.
(They cooked hurriedly in 15 minutes.)
The set time is 15 minutes.
I can't believe it.
We will proceed as the dishes currently are.
- We will stick to the rules. - It's a rule.
- It can't be helped. - It can't be helped.
Now,
you will eat the dish that was completed first.
You will eat Yeon Bok's dish first.
(Seaweed pasta and salmon tataki)
(Unsliced salmon)
(Chef Lee Yeon Bok's Noodles Perfect for Age of 40)
While Ji Yong likes pasta,
it contains seaweed and bell pepper.
- It contains abalones, too. - Since it's a healthy dish,
I made it a bit bland.
Since salty food isn't good for your health.
Perhaps you forgot to add salt.
- Tell us honestly. - I spoke truthfully.
- Did you make it bland on purpose? - Yes.
- It's seasoned. - Is it seasoned?
- It's not bland. - Other ingredients season the dish.
Because of seaweed and abalone, the dish isn't bland.
- They say it isn't bland. - Really?
It's full of the aroma of the sea.
I am sure doctors use less salt in their dishes.
Ji Yong isn't a doctor. He is an office worker.
After he was done, he said, "Gosh, I didn't even taste it."
Gosh, I didn't even taste it.
(He got caught.)
Did you hear that? For goodness' sake.
But the dish is seasoned.
- It's seasoned nicely. - It's tasty.
He got caught.
You should have kept quiet since the dish is seasoned nicely.
- Really? - He got caught.
Do you think the ingredients go well together?
To be honest, this is my first time to have pasta with seaweed.
- That's right. - But it's really tasty.
Really? You don't really like seaweed.
No, I don't. I am surprised seaweed can be cooked this way.
It's a new type of pasta.
I guess...
he never liked seaweed...
because his wife's seaweed soup didn't taste good.
There aren't many types of soup he eats,
but he does eat my seaweed soup.
Abalone and seaweed...
- go well together. - They go really well together.
When you cook abalone porridge,
you can add a bit of seaweed.
The two ingredients go really well together.
You can eat all of it.
He is more drawn to that dish.
- He is eating a lot. - He loves the seaweed pasta.
He hasn't touched the other dish yet.
I was going to serve yogurt sauce with salmon,
but Ji Yong said he doesn't like yogurt.
That's why I used gochujang and doubanjiang.
I see. You utilized sedum.
- This is... - I don't know how to cook sedum,
so I usually ate it with chogochujang.
Doubanjiang definitely changed the taste.
You mixed sedum with it, right?
Yes, I added doubanjiang and a bit of sugar and oyster sauce.
Those ingredients deepen the taste of doubanjiang.
I love that distinct aroma. It's so tasty.
- He should have sliced it. - I know.
It's inconvenient because the tataki isn't sliced.
Ji Yong is trying to get a piece using his chopsticks.
With tataki, the ingredient is raw inside.
Tataki has the best texture when it's sliced thinly.
- That's right. - That's disappointing.
- It's still very tasty. - That's criticism.
I can tell why he wanted to slice it until the end.
My dish is a bit lacking,
but Se Deuk's dish is more lacking because it's missing a sauce.
(They can't dispute it.)
Yeon Bok refuses to go down alone.
- He dragged Se Deuk down with him. - My goodness.
You are eating salmon with gusto.
- It's tasty. - Right?
That means the dish is tasty.
It's not fishy at all. It's tasty.
It has been cooked well.
You were very suspicious of the salmon dish at first.
Hyun Su said it's because he cooked it well.
(You are right.)
If I must choose between these two dishes that Yeon Bok made,
- You like that better. - it's this one.
This dish has carbohydrates in the form of pasta,
various vegetables,
omega-3-rich fish, and protein.
- It also has abalones. - It's a balanced meal.
Yes. It also has abalones.
All right. It's time to taste Se Deuk's dish.
- Seaweed Once Again. - Seaweed Once Again.
(Soy sauce mixed noodles and smoked salmon)
(He forgot to add chili oil and eggs.)
(Chef Oh Se Deuk's Seaweed Once Again)
Does this dish have sauce?
Yes, there are cream cheese and wasabi on the bottom.
- There are things on the bottom. - I wondered how to eat the dish.
- Add them to the fish. - They are on the bottom.
The sauce.
(Affectionate)
It looks delicious.
It looks like they are eating at a restaurant,
not a studio.
I know.
They whisper among themselves.
(They first try smoked salmon with salad.)
Even though the noodles can get soggy,
they decided to eat cream cheese and salmon first.
(Will the dish captivate the couple's tastes?)
(Nervous)
I don't know how to cook smoked salmon,
so I often use the premade sauces.
I saw horseradish and caper in the fridge.
That's right.
Since you have tried that combination,
I made a sauce with cream cheese and wasabi.
I am used to the premade sauces,
but this combination is really good.
- Does it go well with sedum? - Yes, it does.
I only ate salmon with caper in the past.
Ji Yong really likes the dish.
He is eating with gusto. Why did you say he is a picky eater?
He is eating with gusto.
(Laughing)
It's time to try the mixed noodles.
The dish looks too white.
When I go to Chinese restaurants,
I add a lot of chili oil to soy sauce.
My goodness.
He likes chili oil.
Gosh, he visited the show to have that taste!
- He made a grave mistake. - He wanted chili oil.
That's too bad.
It doesn't look spicy.
I wonder how it would have tasted with chili oil.
Ji Yong enjoys having his meals with plenty of chili oil.
(He mixes the noodles well and takes a bite.)
How does it taste?
I don't know how every dish is tasty.
Are the two of you dining out for the family's month?
(Welcome to Chef and My Fridge Restaurant.)
I feel like I am listening to people at another table.
"I don't know how every dish is tasty."
Who were you talking to?
(Curious)
The salmon tastes a bit like marinated chicken.
It has a similar taste.
- The surface... - Right.
is crispy and covered in sauce.
I slathered ssamjang on it and fried it in oil.
Would you like to add a bit of chili oil?
Yes.
I guess he misses chili oil.
Please give him a bit of chili oil.
This won't count toward the score.
Try the dish...
with a bit of chili oil.
He tries the dish with a bit of chili oil.
I wonder how much of a difference the chili oil makes.
- There must be a big difference. - Seriously.
There must be a big difference.
Do you like the dish better with chili oil?
(Everyone's attention is on him.)
The dish definitely tastes better with chili oil.
That's right.
- That's right. - Oh, my goodness.
That's too bad.
This is the dish he wanted to have.
"The dish definitely tastes better with chili oil."
That's incredible.
I'm sure it's different.
Yang Im tries the dish.
How does the dish change with chili oil?
Adding chili oil doesn't make the dish spicier.
The taste of the oil deepens the flavor.
- My goodness. - My goodness.
- My goodness. - It deepens the flavor.
He had made it but just couldn't serve it on time.
Try the dish with eggs.
He boiled those eggs...
- with salt. - He prepared them with care.
How is the dish...
with chili oil and eggs?
- It's perfect. - It's perfect.
This is perfection.
In any case, this doesn't count, right?
- This doesn't count. - This doesn't count.
Discuss among yourselves and choose one chef.
Press one to vote for Se Deuk.
Press two to vote for Yeon Bok.
Score the dishes.
- Shall we do that? - 10 will be the perfect score.
Out of 10, how many points does each dish get?
- That's how you will decide. - It's a fair way.
Hold on. Let me see.
- My goodness. - Are the scores the same?
They chose different chefs,
but the average is the same due to the difference in the scores.
The average is the same.
You should discuss among yourselves first.
You know,
I asked the chefs...
to make the dishes my husband would like.
That's right. Salmon and seaweed.
Thus, I will go with Ji Yong's choice.
Now, make up your mind and press the button.
He pressed the button.
Which chef did Ji Yong decide?
Let's check the outcome. Show us the result.
Healthy dishes for those in their 40s.
Is the winner Yeon Bok or Se Deuk?
Who is the winner? Show us the result.
- Who is the winner? - Who is the winner?
(Chef Lee Yeon Bok won.)
Chef Lee Yeon Bok!
(Chef Lee Yeon Bok's Noodles Perfect for Age of 40 won.)
The winner is Yeon Bok.
Yeon Bok won.
Most points I gave...
went to his pasta dish.
- The pasta dish. It was great. - Yes
He ate a lot.
This often happens on Chef and My Fridge.
When we're pressed for time, we often forget to put in...
- some ingredients. - Sure.
And he revealed his shortcoming.
In fact, there was something I forgot to put in too,
but I didn't reveal it.
Freshly harvested onions are really good these days,
so I was supposed to put onion under the tataki, but I forgot,
and I also forgot to put mushrooms in the pasta.
Gosh. You didn't put enoki mushrooms in the pasta.
They should've been added.
- If he had said that... - He revealed his weak point...
in advance, which means he doesn't have enough experience in life.
(They learn life lessons on Chef and My Fridge.)
Then a star badge will be presented to Yeon Bok.
He has 5 wins now. He won 3 times in a row.
- Congratulations. - It's his third consecutive win.
- Thank you. - He's on the rise.
(Stir-fry seaweed, boil pasta noodles, and blanch abalone.)
(Blend seaweed and water. Make roux. Chop grilled bell pepper.)
(Make broth with clams and mussels. Grill salmon coated with oil.)
(Cool the salmon in iced water. Chop the abalone.)
(Season spinach and sedums with gochujang and oyster sauce.)
(Put the salmon on it. Saute the ground seaweed and the roux.)
(Add the noodles, bell pepper, and chopped abalone.)
The second cook-off with the ingredients...
in Ji Yong's fridge is...
between the two who is determined to correct...
Seung Jae's picky eating habit.
It's Raymon versus Poong.
Before we start the competition,
let me introduce a guest who paid us a surprise visit.
The one who the chefs are competing for in this match.
Seung Jae joined us. Welcome.
- Hello. - Hello.
Say hello.
(Here it is. Gwangheungchang Station.)
(He looks so relaxed even without his parents.)
(It was so easy to take the subway alone.)
(The six-year-old gentleman is really smart.)
- Welcome. - Nice to meet you. Hi.
Say hi.
We were not sure if he'd come here or not...
- because... - I didn't think he would.
he's busy with his schedule at the kindergarten.
That's right.
- This is his bag. - Oh, that's Seung Jae's bag.
Your bag is really cool.
As a parent who is raising children, I think...
Seung Jae is not in such a good mood.
Because there are so many people around him,
- Seung Jae could be flustered. - Sure.
He may not be accustomed to this.
Oh, you're wearing a Batman watch.
- Really? - Show it to them.
Is that a Batman watch?
- Show it. - Slightly.
(What? You mean this?)
I wish I had that too.
Why don't you say you want to switch the watches with him then?
(Switch the watches with him.)
- What? - He said he wants that watch.
- Switch it with his watch? - Gosh.
(Restless)
(To Seung Jae's eyes...)
(A man who has an eye on my watch)
(A man who is pushing forward the trade)
(No, I don't want to.)
(The veteran parent with 40 years of experience is watching him.)
You're better now.
Seung Jae.
I'm Ultraman.
- All right. - I'm Ultraman.
Now... Oh!
- That was it. - That was it.
- He knows what to do with kids. - This was it.
- Batman. - Batman.
- Batman. - Isn't it Ultraman?
It's Ultraman.
- That's Ultraman. - Gosh, this is...
Well, we're now in a situation like this.
He is the toughest guest ever...
in the history of our show.
What is Seung Jae's favorite food?
He likes meat the most.
- Meat. - Meat.
- We have similar tastes. - You do?
- They have similar tastes. - He likes grilled steak.
- Cut grilled steak. - Cut grilled steak.
I think Raymon has an advantage in this match.
- He does. - Right?
How old is your daughter?
I have a daughter who is six years old. They're of the same age.
He'd know a lot about him then.
But if we consider how the food looks...
rather than the taste,
- Poong may have an advantage. - He could.
I heard he likes animals.
I think he's interested in them.
I watched Seung Jae take the subway,
and it was amazing.
Don't lie. I can't believe that.
- It's true. - Is it really true?
- It is true. - He really took the subway alone?
- He really did alone. - He did.
- Which station was it? - I don't believe it.
- Which station was it? - Gwangheungchang.
- Gwangheungchang Station. - Gwangheungchang.
- Gwangheungchang Station. - I can believe it now.
Boys start to talk when you provoke them.
- This is how... - You're right.
- That's how I make my nephew talk. - You have to provoke him.
Like "I bet you don't know that."
You talk as if you've raised a child before.
He knows everything.
- There's nothing he doesn't know. - How does he know?
Does he have a child?
I'm not sure if he's really single.
All right. Seung Jae will decide the winner today.
Seung Jae will?
You have to make Seung Jae smile happily.
The one who can make him feel better in this situation...
- will be a great chef. - Tell me about it.
(Raymon chose spinach, bread crumbs, milk,)
(marinated beef bulgogi, mozzarella, and string cheese.)
(Poong chose spinach, sliced beef, zucchini, broccoli, capers, olives,)
(milk, meat broth, oyster sauce, ramyeon, and breadcrumbs.)
First, Uncle Raymon,
what are you going to make?
I will...
- How sweet your tone is. - It's the way I talk to my girl.
The dish I'm going to make for you, Seung Jae, is...
Gosh, I wouldn't want to eat that.
(Laughing)
Raymonsaurus.
(Raymonsaurus)
- Like a dinosaur. - You said...
you like Tyrannosaurus, right?
- You don't like it? - He doesn't like it.
- Then what do you like? - Then which dinosaur do you like?
Which one do you like?
- What's your new favorite? - Ankylosaurus.
- What? - Ankylosaurus.
- Ankylosaurus. - Ankylosaurus.
Start it over again.
Oh, the one with something like a hammer on its tail?
- Is it there? Oh, that one. - Gosh.
- Is it here? - So that is...
Ankylosaurus.
The one with a big hammer on its tail.
Please elaborate on Raymonsaurus.
As for the dish I'm going to make for you today,
I'll make layers with meat, your favorite,
and pancakes and make it look...
like a dinosaur painting on paper.
Goodness.
- Good. You haven't eaten dinosaurs. - It sounds like art.
I have eaten.
- Have you eaten? - Have you?
- When? - Have you tried them?
Dinosaur-shaped chicken.
- Dinosaur-shaped chicken. - Dinosaur-shaped chicken.
- He has eaten it. - Dinosaur-shaped chicken.
- It's not chicken this time. - Is it similar to the chicken?
It's different from that.
- It's different. - I'll make it different.
He says it's different. Contending against him is Poong.
What are you going to make?
The name of the dish I'm going to make today is... Hey, Seung Jae.
- Look, Seung Jae. - Okay.
In the forest,
there was a bear. Do you like a bear?
He doesn't like it.
- Great. - "Great".
- He likes dinosaurs. - I like the fact you don't like it.
That bear... Well...
Change to another one.
Then what else in the forest do you like?
- Dinosaurs. - Pandas?
- Bears? - Koalas.
- Koalas. - Koalas.
- Great. - "Great".
There was a koala in the forest.
He fell into a swamp.
- What? - He fell into it with a splash.
- What should he do? - So...
the koala yelled, "Help!"
My goodness.
And the swamp...
was made with vegetables. Gosh.
- Oh, my. - Goodness.
The koala hated vegetables so much,
and now, he hates them even more.
- The koala should be saved. - He didn't know what to do,
so you have to rescue the koala from the swamp.
You have to become a hero...
and save the koala.
- That's... - So what's the name of it?
Are You Ready to Rescue the Koala?
- We are ready - We are ready
(He got ready with the spoons on.)
He did it.
"Are You Ready to Rescue the Koala?"
I'm going to make a meatball and steam it. It'll look like a koala.
- A meatball? - Yes.
And I'm going to make soup for the swamp...
with spinach, zucchini, broccoli, and so on.
And he has to eat them to rescue the koala.
- To rescue it? - He has to eat them up to save it.
Exactly.
Then the koala would say, "You finally saved me."
- I see. - "My dear Seung Jae,"
"what is your wish?" It goes like this.
That's how the story is finished in the food.
(He is satisfied.)
That was the story.
Poong, you're good. You do have a child, right?
(Poong, you're good. You do have a child, right?)
- I wish I had. - You're so good.
All right then,
we will now start the cook-off.
It's Raymon who is willing to show the dignity of 6 years...
of parenting and dotes on his daughter...
versus Poong who is determined to captivate the child's heart...
even if he couldn't captivate women's hearts.
Which will be chosen by the youngest guest...
on Chef and My Fridge?
We'll now begin the 15-minute cook-off.
(The 15-minute cook-off starts.)
It's a dinosaur dish versus a koala dish.
- It's meat, Seung Jae's favorite. - Meat.
It's meat that Seung Jae likes.
- The meat goes in there. - Here is meat.
My goodness.
Let me put in just a little bit of this.
- That won't be tasty. - Parents at home...
"That won't be tasty."
- What was it? - He said it won't be tasty.
If the egg is added to meat, it doesn't taste good.
- "If the egg is added to meat". - Oh, "If egg is added..."
- "to meat". - Gosh.
- He's doing magic. - Let me take the egg out.
- I took the egg out. - He's a magician.
- He can do magic. - You can't see the egg now.
- He's a magician of food. - I took the egg out.
- Here is the egg I took out. - I said he's a magician.
Tell them what you think will not taste good,
and they will take all of them out.
(Mix the beef with breadcrumbs, milk, and oyster sauce.)
He's adding oyster sauce too.
He's trying to make a koala with that meat patty.
- That's what he is doing. - Right.
(Blend them to make meat patty.)
This meat looks so good.
My goodness.
Raymon seems to be blending something too.
It's bulgogi.
Bulgogi. Does that look tasty, Seung Jae?
- What do you think? - That's cool.
That's cool.
(Make the meatball and...)
(make eyes with the black olives.)
He's really drawing something with that.
Is that a koala?
It looks like ET to me.
It looks like Ultraman too.
My goodness. This is "Ultrakoala".
- "Ultrakoala". That's cool. - "Ultrakoala".
Goodness, this is Ultrakoala.
I've never seen that before.
Seung Jae will be able to see that for the first time today.
I bet Poong has a child.
- Gosh. - Darn it.
- He's good. - Well...
There you go. It's taking shape now.
The shape of a koala is appearing.
Let's carefully watch how they cook.
How they cook.
(Put carrot and spinach in separate hand blenders.)
(Add an egg and milk to each and blend them.)
- The koala would taste like meat. - The taste is...
- Hurry up. - Do you want them to hurry up?
He said, "Hurry up." The clock is ticking.
If zeros appear, it'll be over.
Raymon is making pancakes...
- with two different colors. - Oh, the colors.
There will be two colors.
If you want to go and watch, you can do that.
Do you want to go and watch?
(Yes.)
Seung Jae is out in the field.
(Seung Jae's kitchen exploration was filmed safely.)
Since Seung Jae is there,
I will go out in the field ahead of time.
It's a koala.
- A koala. - A koala.
Look at the koala.
Seung Jae, what do you think of the koala?
- Do you like it? - Do you like it?
(Nodding)
(Hurrah! Poong did it!)
- Let's go. - Seung Jae is the best.
(He remains calm.)
(Cook spinach batter and carrot batter in pans.)
(Fry beef bulgogi in a pan.)
Seung Jae is more interested in Poong's dish.
The koala is screaming.
- That's because... - He is absorbed in the koala.
- This koala is going... - Poong is doing the perfect job.
Gosh, what is this koala going to do?
- Now the koala will get cooked. - It went into the steamer.
Seung Jae, would you help me for a second?
Please draw a dinosaur here.
I will make the dish in the shape of your dinosaur.
You won't finish cooking if he draws slowly.
- I hope he draws quickly. - It can't be helped.
- The time is passing. - Seung Jae has to like the dish.
- Seung Jae. - Is he signing his drawing?
Seung Jae, draw slowly.
At this rate, we will only have the drawing.
That's good, Seung Jae.
It's a necessary step to win over Seung Jae's heart.
They need to overcome this.
- That's right. - Thank you.
This is Seung Jae's drawing.
(Seung Jae, the artist, completed his drawing.)
(Proud)
(He is a prodigy in art.)
- Seung Jae drew a dinosaur. - He is a prodigy. Is he Picasso?
(Blanch spinach and broccoli and slice them.)
All right.
(Stir-fry butter and flour to make the roux.)
What comes next?
(Raymon completed the pancake.)
(Let's see.)
(Cut spinach pancake in shape of the dinosaur.)
He is cutting it in the shape of Seung Jae's drawing.
(He is cutting it in the shape of Seung Jae's drawing.)
Seung Jae drew a dinosaur earlier.
Gosh, it's the same.
(It's the same.)
This is the drawing.
Now, the koala's suffering will begin.
Now, the koala will fall...
into the scary swamp of vegetables.
How scary!
- How scary! - The koala will fall in there.
- Broccoli is scary! - He is adding scary ingredients.
What are we going to do?
(Boil with stock, milk, and oyster sauce.)
(Add ramyeon seasoning.)
Seung Jae, hop. I will give you a lift.
- What is this? - This is really scary.
I can't eat this because it's so scary.
Can you eat it, Seung Jae? I bet you can't.
- Can you eat it? - You can't eat it, right?
You can't eat it, right?
Koala hates this as well, but it will fall in here.
What should we do?
You should save the koala.
- You should save the koala. - Will he be able to eat it?
- I don't know. - What will happen?
I don't know.
Let's go to this side.
I am exhausted. I am out of energy.
Is it usually this hard to play with a child?
(Put sliced string cheese on the pancake and sprinkle sugar.)
What is this yellow thing?
It's your drawing, right?
- It's your drawing, right? - It looks the same.
It looks the same as your drawing.
Do you not like it?
- I like it. - He likes it!
He likes it!
He likes it. He likes it.
I will be happy even if I don't win today.
He likes it. It's to Seung Jae's liking.
There an orange pancake.
I am more used to the red kimchi pancake.
He is putting meat on top of it.
Seung Jae, how much time do you have left? Look.
- Five minutes. - Do you have a watch?
- He looks at his Batman watch. - Do you have a Batman watch?
12, 13, 14, 15.
That's right. Time is passing.
- 17, 18, 19. - 19, 20.
He can't read times yet.
(Seong Ju smiles like a proud dad.)
About five minutes remain.
Seung Jae.
(Cook ramyeon noodles in boiling water.)
Seung Jae, do you like your ramyeon noodles firm?
This hand is for firm noodles, this hand is for soft noodles.
Which one would you like?
- Soft noodles. - All right.
The chefs are really good at handling Seung Jae.
I am exhausted. Seriously.
Is it this hard to raise a child?
Poong, attend your child's field day the next time.
(Stop pretending to be single.)
(Choking)
(Put the blended mixture into the pan.)
How scary!
(Poong tastes the vegetable soup.)
Why does it taste like grass even with the ramyeon seasoning?
Gosh, look at this dinosaur.
It really looks like a dinosaur.
Gosh, Raymon is really good.
Since he has a daughter,
- he knows what to do. - He has the aesthetic sense.
He does.
- Do you like ketchup? - Yes.
He likes ketchup.
- This is the bone. - I see.
- This is the bone. - He is putting ketchup on it.
Three minutes remain.
- 3 minutes? - 3 minutes remain.
Look at the dinosaur. On top of the bone...
The dinosaur came alive.
It looks good.
Seung Jae, I have a question.
Do you know how to write letters by any chance?
Yes.
Then you must know how to write your name.
Would you like to write your name on here?
My goodness. Seung Jae will write his name.
You don't have much time.
Squeeze it.
If you want to draw, you can draw.
The clock is ticking. He is digging it open.
- Seung Jae, you are doing well. - You are doing a good job.
Do what you want to do.
(Sprinkle ketchup on the dish.)
- There you go. We cooked together. - Good job.
- Shall we ring the bell together? - Is the dish done?
- Is the dish done? - Ring the bell.
He is done. Raymon is done.
A minute and 30 seconds remain.
He is done. Raymon is done.
Raymon's dish for Seung Jae is done.
- Seung Jae. - High five.
High five.
(High five!)
- Thank you. - Gosh, Seung Jae.
(Poong is busy.)
(Add cooked ramyeon noodles.)
(It's time to show the koala to the world.)
- Koala. The koala is out. - Hold on.
It looks gross. It looks gross.
- The koala is out. - Hold on.
Don't look at it!
No, no. Don't look at it.
(Boiled head of a koala)
(Seung Jae, don't look!)
What happened to the koala?
(Even adults can't stomach the gruesome appearance.)
(He is carving out a mouth with the handle of a spoon.)
- It's not ready yet. Hold on. - It's a toad.
It's poisoned.
- It fell into a swamp. - It fell into a swamp.
It fell into a swamp.
That's why it's poisoned.
It fell into a swamp.
As you can see...
(This is crazy.)
- That's why it's poisoned. - About 30 seconds remain.
It wants to be saved.
"Save me, Seung Jae."
"Save me. Save me."
15 seconds remain.
It's time to wrap up.
(Raymon adds ketchup since he has a lot of time.)
- 8, 7, 6, - 7, 6,
- 5, 4, 3... - 5, 4, 3...
Six...
(Seung Jae counts down at the top of his lungs.)
- 2, 1. - 1.
Time's up. He is done. He is done.
The dishes for Seung Jae are done. Give them a round of applause.
(Are You Ready to Rescue the Koala? is complete.)
Seung Jae.
I am exhausted.
Now, the dishes for Seung Jae are done.
My goodness.
Seung Jae, do you like the dishes?
- Yes. - I see. That's good.
Which dish looks better?
Which one will it be?
(That one!)
Which one will it be?
(He chose Raymonsaurus.)
He knows art.
- Seriously. - It was a genius idea...
- to have him draw. - That's right.
(Dinosaur-shaped meat and pancake)
(Chef Raymon Kim's Raymonsaurus)
Where will he begin?
- There are legs, head, and tail. - Do you want to eat the tail?
The hind leg will be tasty.
- He goes for the meat. - The foreleg.
- The foreleg. - He knows how to eat.
He likes meat.
(Seung Jae likes meat.)
He likes meat.
Meat.
- How does it taste? - How does it taste?
- Uncle made it. - How does it taste?
- How does it taste? - How does it taste?
(Is it not to his liking?)
- How does it taste? - What's wrong?
(Thumbs up!)
How does it taste?
(Raymon's heart flutters.)
He gave a thumbs up.
Seung Jae gave a thumbs up.
It's the biggest compliment from a child.
(He is still moved.)
Seung Jae's mom and dad will try it, too.
Let's hear what they think.
If Ji Yong likes it, Seung Jae will like it, too.
That's right.
Ji Yong, please try the dish.
He is going for the foreleg.
(The older son goes for the foreleg as well.)
Ji Yong eats meat first, too.
(Try it!)
- He dips it in ketchup. - He dips it in ketchup.
He dips it in ketchup.
(Double thumbs up!)
- It must be tasty. - It's tasty.
Ketchup.
He likes ketchup.
He is captivated by the taste of ketchup.
He just needed to serve ketchup.
Ketchup will be a decisive factor.
He made the dinosaur bone with ketchup.
Dinosaur bone tastes the best.
That's incredible.
- My goodness. - He is using a spoon.
Seung Jae is eating with gusto.
(He takes a big bite.)
Seung Jae is eating with gusto.
How does it taste?
- It tastes like a meat patty. - A meat patty.
What went inside this one?
- The orange one. - Carrot.
- I see. - Carrot.
I had no choice but to serve ketchup.
I would have liked to roll up the meat in pancake,
but I am thankful for small victories.
(He is satisfied that Seung Jae enjoyed the dish.)
Seung Jae wants to move on to the koala.
(Koala-shaped meatball in vegetable soup)
(Webtoon Artist Kim Poong's Are You Ready to Rescue the Koala?)
Someone should eat the green swamp right away...
and save the koala.
Who will eat it? This is a disaster.
Seung Jae, that koala...
used to be pretty.
It used to be very pretty.
Then it fell into the swamp. You see snakes inside, right?
- These are snakes. - It's...
- because of those snakes... - Ramyeon noodles.
that the koala's face became strange.
That's why you need to eat those snakes, Seung Jae.
I don't like green ramyeon.
- "I don't like green ramyeon." - "I don't like green ramyeon."
"Don't feed me lies about snakes."
Seung Jae. Well...
- Do you want me to eat it? - If you don't eat the snake,
- The koala. - the koala has to die there.
That koala could die.
What do you want to do? You should rescue him.
- If you taste the soup... - Let me try it.
But I don't like green ramyeon.
Then do you want me to rinse it with water?
- Okay. - In my opinion...
- He wants it to be rinsed. - Rinsed?
Rinsed in the water?
- Shall I try it first? - Then he may eat it.
Why don't you try it...
- Your mom will eat the snake. - to see if it's good or not.
It smells so savory.
That is ramyeon.
- It's tasty ramyeon. - Let me try it too.
- That looks good. - Tasty ramyeon.
- His dad is tasting it too. - It's so good.
Can only adults eat it?
Seung Jae can't eat it, right?
- Because he's still a baby. - Yes, he can eat it.
- Only adults can eat it. - Babies can't eat it.
- No way. Seung Jae can eat it well. - Seung Jae is a big boy.
I think he can eat it well since he's a big boy.
- Seung Jae... - That is only for adults.
Seung Jae is not a baby anymore.
- Will he able to eat it? - For the first time...
Seung Jae's challenge.
- Seung Jae... - That is only for adults.
Seung Jae is not a baby anymore.
- Will he able to eat it? - For the first time...
- Seung Jae's challenge. - You want to eat it with ketchup?
Oh, my gosh.
Gosh, he left without words.
He just left without words.
No guests have refused to taste the food.
It is our first time to try it.
(The first preschooler on Chef and My Fridge)
We really invited the child to the set,
but it looks like he failed to captivate the child's heart.
If it suits Ji Yong's taste,
- Seung Jae could eat it. - That's right.
Yes. But the color was...
- Because of the color. - The green.
- The color was a bad choice. - It's not easy to eat.
I know.
- Does it suit your taste? - Yes.
- It does? - Then it will suit Seung Jae's too.
He's eating well.
It's good.
(The vegetable sauce tastes savory and healthy.)
It feels like health food.
It's time to decide.
But he hasn't tasted it.
Seung Jae, which tasted better?
- Seung Jae, which was better? - Let's press the button.
Here are the buttons.
This one is for number one,
- and this one is for number two. - For the koala.
- The koala is number 2. - The koala is number 2.
Press the one that tasted better between the two.
Press this one for number 1 and press this one for number 2.
- That looks fun. - Do you get it?
You have to press it in secret.
- While hiding. - Go over there and press it.
- Do it in secret. - You can press either 1 or 2.
- Between 1 and 2. - Hide.
- Choose what you like. - The one that you like.
Pick the one that you like.
Make up your mind and press the button, please.
- Press it, Seung Jae. - He refused my food.
- Did you press it? - Did you press it hard?
- Yes. - Okay. It's done.
- He pressed it in secret. - It's a secret, Seung Jae.
- Don't let anybody know. - Don't tell anyone.
All right. Seung Jae pressed the button.
But Seung Jae...
may have pressed the wrong button.
He may have not pressed the right button.
- We don't know what children think. - We don't.
Which one did Seung Jae choose?
Let's find out the result. Please show it to us.
Is it Poong or Raymon?
Please show it to us.
What is Seung Jae's choice?
What's the result?
(Raymon won.)
Raymon.
The dinosaur dish won.
Seung Jae's choice was the dinosaur dish.
Why did you not want to eat the koala, Seung Jae?
- Is the color strange? - The eyes.
- "The eyes". - "The eyes".
- The eyes are big and scary. - The eyes...
- I said they're bulging. - That is...
- Are the eyes weird? - The eyes...
- The eyes... - Gosh. He doesn't know about kids.
- How would I have known? - My goodness.
Well then... Raymon...
was defeated by Poong both times this season,
but he was chosen by Seung Jae, defeated Poong for the first time,
- and is about to get a star badge. - I love you, Seung Jae.
All right.
He was chosen by Seung Jae.
It's Raymon's fourth win.
- Congratulations. - Yes!
- Raymon won. - You're so adorable.
