(Parents of lovely Seung Jae)
(Ko Ji Yong and Hur Yang Im)
(Appearance of an expert in Hur Yang Im)
(She recites all the information.)
(Her memory is amazing.)
She's also doing a lot of research.
(Thank you. Let's clap.)
(Is Ji Yong losing hair these days?)
(The only good part about him is his good-looking face.)
(He misses the past.)
(Useful information about hair loss)
(The back part is where the hair stays for the longest.)
(Let me touch it too.)
(How to diagnose hair loss yourself)
(Poong)
(I'm serious.)
(You need to take hair loss medication.)
(A straightforward medical advice makes them laugh.)
(Poong is sad because his forehead is big.)
(Look forward to top useful information today.)
Today, we're with three people in the field of medicine...
and one office worker.
Let's start our discussion.
Esther.
Do you know Ye Seo on "SKY Castle"?
(I really want to go to medical school at Seoul University.)
She graduated from the school that...
Ye Seo desperately wanted to go.
She's a doctor in family medicine.
Currently, she's the CEO of a health functional food company.
Yes.
- Hye Geol is also impressive. - Yes.
He graduated from medical school at Seoul University.
He finished his Ph.D.
He's Korea's first reporter in medicine.
He appeared on TV, gives lectures, and writes.
He's active in various fields.
The two of them are both impressive.
They consider themselves better compared to each other...
- on TV related to medicine. - Better?
(They have a good relationship.)
To be honest, I was a little disappointed...
- on my way to this show. - Why?
It's because it's obvious that...
she made her debut thanks to me.
That's right.
That is true.
I was invited by K broadcaster...
as an invited host for an authentic medical documentary.
- Right. - I have more experience on TV.
That's correct.
Her seat should be mine.
- What about this couple? - The husband is sitting there.
Why was I pushed to the back?
He's not happy with the seating.
Hye Geol.
Being the first person to do something is important.
However, on the medical show that you host,
when you talk seriously,
the number of views decreases.
When I appear on the show,
the number of views increases by thousands.
- His number of views decreases. - Hye Geol.
Viewers are honest.
- They react honestly. - I have a lot of complaints...
about viewers.
Can I say this?
He has complaints about the viewers.
- Viewers? - He's the first one...
- He has complaints about viewers. - to say such a thing.
I did a lot of research in medicine.
No matter how much I talk,
my number of views doesn't increase. The viewership isn't high.
Esther doesn't say anything substantial,
but she moves her hands on TV.
And people really like her.
Hye Geol. He says that he's a classic medical figure,
and I'm a hodgepodge in medicine.
This is what's funny.
Hye Geol, what you say is correct.
It's standard medicine.
However, it's not fun.
(He feels guilty.)
She got upset.
Look when you talk.
You make a face that looks like you've got a lot of complaints.
Please take out everything. She's not in good condition today.
(We notice affection in their argument.)
You should interpret Seong Ju carefully.
When he looks down, it means that he's annoyed.
(That's a misunderstanding.)
(He makes an effort to run the show smoothly.)
When he hears this,
Hye Geol should be good to his wife.
Esther's business in Lactobacillus became successful.
Its annual sale is 50 million dollars.
("Yeo Esther's Lactobacillus Business Earns 50 Million a Year")
- "50 Million"? - Why do you bring that up?
Accumulated sales are 200 million dollars.
(200 million dollars)
She's a walking cash cow.
She's my treasure.
That's impressive.
I'll be honest.
For a long time,
as a professional,
I was interested in intestinal health.
I'm grateful for being lucky.
Hey, what kind of expression is that?
- What did she say? - What did she say?
- It was her way of talking. - I think she means that...
luck is more important than the effectiveness of her medicine.
Was there a certain event that happened...
that made you interested in Lactobacillus?
When I was 36,
I had a huge polyp...
that could result into colorectal cancer.
I was afraid that I wouldn't live to see my child grow up.
I looked at all the publications and books around the world.
There were experts who knew about Lactobacillus...
much before me.
At that time, the science field around the world was...
starting to become interested in probiotics.
That's when I started the business.
- The timing of my business... - Did it match?
matched with the science field.
Do you use separate rooms?
We used separate rooms for two years.
We recently started to share a room,
but we sleep in separate beds.
Why did you use separate rooms?
As I reached menopause,
I didn't want to see my husband. I disliked when he looked at me.
- Seriously. - It was very severe.
- I couldn't share a room with him. - Really?
She also had a mild case of depression.
She seemed like a different person.
- During menopause? - Seriously.
When it came to treating patients,
I'm a doctor. After experiencing it myself,
I couldn't explain it.
How did you overcome it?
Here's how I overcame it.
Last year, we were recording "Surveillance Camera 24"...
for a few months.
I could watch myself.
As I watched my husband,
I could understand him better.
When women get annoyed,
it's a biological reaction.
They also know that they're being unreasonable.
- You must let them win. - Should we suppress our anger?
You should comfort them.
Women will remember that.
They knew that they were being unreasonable.
They remember that their husband stayed by their side...
and comforted me.
Here's what I feel bad about.
My husband had a small lump in his lungs.
It didn't grow.
After two years of using separate rooms,
- his lump became bigger. - I see.
- So I felt... - He was under stress.
very terrible.
Ever since I found out that his lump got bigger,
I act.
What kind of act?
In the past, I got angry.
These days, even when I don't like him...
and he doesn't look amazing,
I say, "You look amazing." Then I turn away.
(Goodness)
(She comes back to reality right away.)
- Interestingly, - I lie to him.
ever since Esther changed and we shared a room together,
the lump stopped growing.
Really?
(Efforts ease the symptoms.)
Can you treat menopause...
with one's diet?
There are many symptoms for menopause.
Pains in joints and hot flashes.
There's a variety of symptoms for menopause...
including insomnia.
The worst one is being very hot.
You could be hot in front of the air conditioner.
Then you get cold. You get hot and cold over again.
- That's what I heard. - Avoid foods that are too spicy.
If you sweat too much, your body can heat up.
It's better to eat less spicy food.
I see.
We have several doctors with us.
I feel like I should buy medicine.
(He's suddenly worried.)
The chefs are listening intently.
I de-stressed myself on this show during my andropause.
- Is that so? - Really?
- Yes. - That's why...
writers were replaced many times.
I know.
What are you talking about?
You should have said it quietly.
That's what happened.
Since this is a special opportunity,
we'll take questions that you'd like to ask.
(Ask Anything, Chef and My Fridge Open Talk)
You can ask anything.
(Yeo Esther, Hong Hye Geol)
Se Deuk, do you have a question?
(Hur Yang Im, Ko Ji Yong)
Based on my age,
I should be expecting my grandchildren.
However, I plan to have children.
When you and your wife make love,
there must be a D-Day.
- "D-Day"? - I guess so.
This is what many men misunderstand.
24 hours before and after the D-Day,
- men are careful with their body. - Careful?
You shouldn't do that.
Sperms are produced...
100 days in advance.
That's why...
It's important to keep your body healthy for 100 days...
before the day you plan to conceive. Don't drink for a week.
Your body should be in the best condition.
That's when you can have good and healthy sperms.
Does that mean you have to abstain for 100 days?
No, it's not that you don't try it for 100 days.
(100 days seem too long for Poong.)
I don't know anything about this.
- You can't restrain for 100 days? - No. I'm just curious.
He's hilarious.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't try conceiving for 100 days.
But restrain yourself from it for about 2 to 3 days.
That's when your body should be in its best condition.
- Keep it healthy for 100 days. - That's right.
- You have to pick a date well. - Yes.
Wife should have supplement pills like Co-enzyme Q10.
It helps to have healthy ovaries for a woman who's about to have kids.
So it's important to have those supplement pills.
Se Deuk. Keep your body healthy for 100 days before the date.
- Keep your body healthy. - Yes.
- Don't do anything bad. - I won't.
Poong, don't do anything rash.
(Poong will keep himself healthy for that special day.)
- I'm careful with my body. - I see.
During our interview, Esther said...
that she can pick the one who's going to live the longest.
- Really? - Yes.
The most objective way...
to see if a person is healthy or not...
is to measure his waist and legs.
The concept is...
to combine the calf and thigh measurements.
It's good if the combined one is more than the waist measurement.
Do you all get it?
The thickest muscle on our body is...
the that's in our bottom stretching down to our thighs.
Even when you have arteriosclerosis,
your thick thighs will clean blood vessels in the heart.
It contributes a lot to burning calories.
It burns even when you're asleep.
- She's an expert in this. - No.
She runs an obesity center.
You can share your ideas too.
Help us.
- No. - We have reassuring guests today.
They're experts in this field.
They mentioned about the thickest muscle.
I highlight the importance of the muscles on the bottom and thighs.
I share this to my patients who have diabetes.
It controls blood glucose better and prevents diabetes.
I measure the muscle mass on the lower body for them.
We did lower body measurements...
before the shooting started.
- So, this was why. - Yes.
We recorded the measurements and gave it to Esther.
Goodness. So this is what we received.
- The deviations are extreme. - Really?
There are the best one and the worst one.
Who's the best one? You mean someone who can live the longest?
- It's someone healthy. - Yes.
So is the worst one going to die soon?
(Is the worst one going to die young?)
Die young?
Don't say such stuff.
It's someone who should work harder.
Coincidentally, there are two men...
whose measurements are 7cm longer than the rest.
- They are the best ones. - Isn't it Ho Young?
It's not easy to have that measurement.
Let me announce who they are.
Goodness, one of them...
(Excited)
One of them is Sam Kim.
(Sam is one of the joint winners.)
It's Sam Kim.
(I'll live the longest.)
You seem happier than when you get star badges.
- I didn't even know you were here. - Goodness.
He's so happy to hear that he's going to live long.
- I've never seen him this happy. - I know.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
He's happy that he's going to live long.
Well, let's see the next one.
There's another one whose measurements are 7cm longer too.
His thighs are the thickest.
That's how he ended up in first place with Sam.
It did cover up his stomach fat.
- Stomach fat? - Stomach fat.
So this one has a lot of stomach fat.
It's either Raymon or Ho Young.
So he has a bit of belly fat.
But his thighs are very thick.
- So who is it? - I thought Jung Hwan's thighs...
would be the thickest, but he's in second place.
So there's someone whose thighs are thicker than Jung Hwan's.
His thighs are 2cm thicker than Jung Hwan's.
It should be Ho Young.
- Isn't it you? - It must be Ho Young.
- It's... - I know...
- I know... - She knows...
I know that he has hair loss.
He has hair loss.
It's Poong.
(Poong restores confidence with his thick thighs.)
- Look at this thighs. - Goodness.
(Strong)
- It's 65.5cm. - 65.5cm.
(Jealous)
His thighs are thicker than Jung Hwan's.
- 100 days will come soon. - Jung Hwan's thighs are thick.
They're both in the first place.
You two will live long.
Stay healthy and live long.
We need to select the king of kings.
- King of kings. - We have to select the best one.
- It's a tie. - Yes.
Are you two the same age?
I'm a year older.
- You're older. - He's older.
We have to give credit to the one who is older.
- Goodness. - Wait.
Don't stand up.
There's this important step.
I have to touch his belly skin.
(That's right.)
- Do they have to touch belly skin? - Is it different from ours?
- So you'll select the winner. - Yes.
Spread your legs to 30cm.
Take a deep breath and exhale.
I'm going to touch the belly skin...
between his belly button and the pit of his stomach.
- Relax. - Yes, relax.
I can feel the subcutaneous fat.
She can grab his fat.
- Let me grab Sam's. - Okay.
My hand is slipping.
- Right. - It just slips.
Look at this. I can relate to him.
Now, given that their waist measurements are the same,
if I can feel something when I grab his stomach,
it means he has subcutaneous fat.
It's not abdominal fat.
- But it's different with Sam. - So it's subcutaneous fat.
My fingers slip.
This means that it's not subcutaneous fat.
It means his abdomen is full of visceral fat.
You can only apply this when the waist measurements are the same.
So who will live longer?
- It's Poong. - Poong will live longer.
(Poong is going to live longer.)
(Long live the king!)
So hair loss doesn't mean anything.
I'm fine. I have a lot of hair.
(Bitter)
Poong is going to live long without much hair.
Poong works out in the gym.
- People who work out live longer. - He works out regularly.
We have the best one.
- Who's the worst? - This is very important.
Surprisingly, these two chefs have the exact same measurements.
- Really? - Worst ones.
- The worst ones. - Let me give you hints.
Both of them have the same thickness on their calves and thighs.
Their waist measurements are the same too.
- Aren't they twins? - They both have 117.5cm.
This man's abdominal obesity is serious.
These two have negative 9.5cm too.
- Two chefs? - Ho Young and Raymon, get ready.
- 2 people, right? - Yes, 2 people.
- You're precise. - How did you know?
We've known them for a long time.
- We've known them for a long time. - Yes.
- They are very close too. - I know.
Their bodies look alike too.
It's because they drink a lot.
Come and see me if you need help.
Thank you.
- Is this for real? - Yes.
Raymon needs help too.
I'll go and see her.
I noticed that chefs work until late,
- and have meals late at night. - Yes.
That's why they're all bulky.
There are many chefs who have belly fat.
Yes.
We had a great session on medical information.
Our chefs have been diagnosed too.
Now, we'll see what's inside...
- Esther and Hye Geol's fridge. - That's right.
How many people use it?
My kids are studying abroad.
- So, it's just the two of us. - I see.
- Both of them are doctors. - Yes.
I'm sure there's a lot of healthy foods in their fridge.
Ji Yong ruined his wife's reputation last week.
But both of them are doctors.
- They must have good foods. - Yes.
We'll finally see the perfect fridge full of healthy food today.
It must be exemplary.
- We'll finally get to see it today. - We should copy their lifestyle.
- Get ready to take notes. - All right.
I'm really curious about their fridge.
This fridge contributed to her overcoming her menopause, right?
So, there must be good food for menopause.
- I am sure. - I'm looking forward to it.
I'll try to explain...
each of the ingredients you see in the fridge.
(Excited)
- Our viewers must be curious. - Of course.
Let's check out their fridge.
Goodness. I can smell the scent of doctors from here.
It smells like a hospital.
We're really excited to see what's inside this fridge.
It's the fridge of the couple who promote health.
It's the perfect example of a fridge with healthy food.
Let's take a look inside Esther and Hye Geol's fridge!
- It's neat. - Goodness.
- Let's take a look. - Let's take a look.
- It's neat. - Goodness.
I got shocked as I opened it.
- What's on this side? - Goodness.
They drink a lot.
They have a lot of alcohol.
- There's vodka. - I see wines.
But they have healthy food here too.
- Let's take a look. - What's on the first shelf?
They have a lot of delivery food.
You are right.
It's quite rare to see a fridge storing these.
- Yes. - Goodness.
- What's that? - They ordered a lot of food.
These must be leftover sauces from delivery sashimi.
- Isn't it for dumplings? - We like Japanese food like sushi.
They give us wasabi when we order sushi.
I keep them in the fridge because I don't want them to go to waste.
- It's wasabi. - I also collect...
gochujang from delivery sashimi.
I'm a frugal type.
- You are frugal. - She collected them neatly.
You can make soy sauce marinated crab with this much of soy sauce.
- There's a lot of sauce. - She's frugal.
She feels terrible to throw them away.
He wasn't even brought up in a rich family.
But he likes to throw away things.
(The couple is fighting again.)
I'm born as a frugal woman. So I keep them in the fridge.
- She is frugal. - That is neatly arranged.
There's a lot of pickled radishes too.
- It's my wife's favorite snack. - Snack?
She eats it as snack?
She likes to have that.
- You don't know your wife well. - She has it as snack.
That's not my snack.
I don't have any appetite in the morning.
But I still have to have breakfast. So I have that in the morning.
I have half a bowl of ramyeon and that.
I don't have a lot of soup.
You have ramyeon in the morning?
I'm usually ragged out without any appetite...
because I get tired from work.
Salty food is all bad.
But those who have chronic fatigue syndrome need to eat...
- within two hours from waking. - Just a bit in the morning is okay.
They need something salty.
It helps the adrenal glands to secrete hormones...
such as cortisols and adrenaline.
Those need to be released, I see.
- There's chocolate. - And donuts too.
It's a really sweet type of a donut.
Who likes sweet food?
The sugar needs to be stored in the liver and muscles,
but I have no muscles and a small liver.
So I have low sugar levels in my blood.
Whenever I was hungry, I'd eat it. But I couldn't eat much.
I bought it two months ago, but I still haven't finished it.
- I'm convinced. - It's good for low blood sugar.
- I suffer from low blood sugar. - I see.
- Let's move on. - There's a lot of tofu.
Why do you have so much? Who likes them?
Me. I love tofu.
When I was young, there was a huge tofu factory nearby.
So my mother fed me tofu every day.
I still love them so much.
I eat this much at once.
You know that tofu is rich in soy protein, right?
Right.
So thanks to tofu, I am healthy.
- I see. - Tofu gives me energy.
- I see. - This is the secret to your health.
- For me, yes. - But tofu doesn't have...
solid protein components, so it's best to have mixed grains with that.
For the past 25 years,
he'd have tofu even when I served him that...
for all three meals.
He must really love it.
- Yes. - That's for certain.
Let's move on.
- Octopus. - There's boiled octopus.
- My husband loves seafood. - I do.
I love octopus.
I can finish one this big in one sitting.
- It's rich in protein. - Yes.
- It's great to have with ramyeon. - Right.
- Really? - But we're too lazy for that.
We just chop them up and dip them in the chogochujang.
I see. This is...
instant yukgaejang.
I'm a bit embarrassed.
- But that's truly a revolution. - A revolution?
It's that great?
- You just need to boil it. - Right.
It's best to have fresh foods all the time,
but my weakness is that I can't cook.
I opt for instant foods rather than starving.
- Right. - That's better...
- than starving. - It's far better.
If there's nothing to eat, she should go out.
But if her eyes are swollen or if she's not...
in her best condition, she wouldn't go.
But what's more impressive is that...
- That's why she has those. - I've never met anyone...
who was hungry the moment they woke up.
When my husband opens his eyes in the morning,
he says, "I'm hungry."
He really does say that.
- That's hilarious. - He's like me.
I feel hungry the moment I wake up.
I'm the opposite. My stomach needs to be filled for me to go to bed.
He eats at night.
It's so surprising that he's still so skinny.
- I know. - That's why I have esophagitis.
I have esophagitis too.
She raised her hand.
We have similar constitutions.
- I have a question. - Sure.
I don't think I've ever asked her this question.
Your wife is a doctor, but you've never asked her?
- I don't think I have. - You're asking her.
I usually don't tell her when I have a late-night snack.
I usually sleep first.
Since I know that I suffer from esophagitis,
I raise my pillow a bit.
I see.
Does that help?
- It does, but... - Don't just raise your head.
- doing so won't help. - You need to be a bit upright.
You need to raise your upper body 30 degrees.
- I see. - For men who have muscles,
it gets stored in their bodies.
When they don't eat, it comes out like Jung Hwan.
But in Ji Yong's and my case, who don't have much muscles,
it doesn't get stored.
- So you need to... - What? He has lean muscles.
- It's obvious. - Hold on.
- Don't drag him into this. - I'm not.
- He should... - I have a high muscle percentage.
- See? - No.
- So... - He has a high muscle percentage.
Calm down.
He's upset.
All right. I'll exclude you. So...
- So if... - This only pertains to her.
If you suffer from fatigue and don't have much muscles,
it's best to split up...
- your meals. - I see.
- These are all great tips. - Yes.
Now, we have the vegetables.
- Vegetables. - There's a variety.
There's celery, parsley, and broccoli.
- There's seasoned aster. - Yes.
There's a variety. There are mushrooms too.
Do you eat vegetables often?
When he was young, he failed to take care of his body.
That's why, as I have mentioned,
he has an abscess in his lungs.
If I let it be, it might turn into cancer.
- Right. - Cancer isn't a lump.
- Medically speaking, - It starts small.
cancer pertains to abscesses that fail to heal.
The abscesses increase in layer and becomes cancer.
He looked into the medical journals...
and found vegetables that could...
reduce inflammation.
- They're celery... - They're broccoli, celery,
- Parsley. - and parsley.
- I see. - These three?
They're the hottest...
- Vegetables. - foods.
- These three? - Yes. The medical journals say...
that two components, apigenin and sulforaphane...
help prevent inflammation.
- They also prevent... - They also prevent...
- cancer cells from forming. - cancer cells.
There are many types of research that back up this claim.
- Apigenin? - Yes, apigenin.
- Apigenin. - Apigenin.
These are the three apigenin musketeers.
The apigenin found in celeries...
- were discovered recently. - Really?
- I found out that... - Right.
these components significantly decreased inflammation.
Inflammation doesn't only happen in your lungs.
- Cancer can happen anywhere. - Right.
What are the greens that contain the most apigenin?
They're celery, parsley,
- and broccoli. - Broccoli.
For us, we make an apigenin juice...
every single day.
But the problem is that it's not tasty.
- If that tastes good, - Right.
- it'll become the best drink. - I know.
I'd like to know how to make it tastier.
- This is a great tip. Apigenin. - Yes.
- Apigenin. - Three apigenin musketeers.
That was some top-quality information.
- Yes. - Also,
there's meat. What are these?
Pork neck?
I think it's pork neck.
- Pork neck? - Yes.
It's good for fatigue.
Pork is rich in vitamin B1.
- Really? - When you're feeling tired,
B1 is the best vitamin to make you feel rejuvenated.
It's rich in thiamine. Pork has the highest concentration...
- of thiamine. - It does.
It has 10 times the amount in beef.
Does eating pork neck make you rejuvenated?
- Yes, it's full of B1. - It's rich in B1.
Is it true that once you pass your menopause,
your body condition, taste, and preference change?
It was very dramatic for me.
Up until I reached menopause,
I had less than five cups of Americano.
I couldn't differentiate the tastes of coffee.
But since two years ago,
I started enjoying them.
I could differentiate the aroma.
I also couldn't differentiate cocktails from beer.
I started finding the different tastes in wine.
My taste changed drastically.
I guess the senses become more sensitive.
There's beef jerky and dried filefish. You must like them.
There's something I criticize her a lot for.
- "Criticize"? - When she watches dramas,
she watched 10 episodes at once.
She sets aside time for that.
She watches from her bed.
She eats 10 dried filefish.
- My gosh. 10 of these? - These?
- 10 bags? - No, 10 separate ones.
- Those are mini dried filefish. - It doesn't matter.
My goodness.
When I studied for my exams back when I was young,
I would pull all-nighters...
and have 20 of them.
- But... - And then,
I suffered from colon polyp at the age of 36.
That's how I became interested in Lactobacillus.
It was all thanks to dried filefish.
- It was burnt. - Burnt?
- Right. - We used briquettes back then.
- Burnt ones are tastier. - They were burnt.
Burnt ones are tastier. It's odd.
People are usually wary about eating burnt foods.
I heard that burnt foods don't have too much...
of a correlation with cancer.
- Eating a bit of it is fine. - It's fine to have a little.
But it's a fact that burnt foods contain carcinogens.
It all comes together.
Burnt foods and salted seafood.
On top of that, tough vegetables...
scrape your stomach linings.
When salty foods such as salted seafood, burnt foods,
and Helicobacter enter, that's how you get cancer.
- I see. - It's the same for steak.
Slightly burnt steak is tastier.
Excuse me, but can we continue?
I'm sorry.
We need to create a new show for this.
We will continue.
There are many different drugs.
- What are they for? - What are they?
- They're all Lactobacillus. - Really?
Really?
Since Lactobacillus are alive,
- they need to be refrigerated. - I see.
- You need to store them. - I see.
We've looked into Esther and Hye Geol's fridge.
I thought we were shooting a medical program.
Esther couldn't stop talking.
- I know. - But there's not much to it...
- even though she talked a lot. - No way.
- Really? - I was very detailed.
That's correct.
She shared so much great information.
- Right. - Foods for inflammation.
- Broccoli, celery, - Celery.
and parsley.
Please show us what they want to eat.
Let's see them. These are what they want.
"Western Cuisine for Esther Who's Going Through Menopause."
No matter how great a trip abroad may be,
I've avoided going to those.
That's because I couldn't eat Western foods.
But after going through menopause, my taste completely changed.
Now, I'm more interested in Western cuisine than Korean.
Also, Koreans often struggle with stomach problems.
I'd like you to make a Western type of food...
that's tender and relieves me of my menopausal stress.
She would like to start enjoying Western cuisine.
We have apigenin here.
"Apigenin Avengers: End Cooking"...
"Featuring Broccoli, Celery and Parsely."
I think I know what it could be.
All right. We have apigenin.
Despite these three having high concentration of apigenin,
Korean dishes rarely have them.
Their tastes are strong, and it smells unfavorable.
With these three ingredients,
I'd like a dish that goes well with Korean food...
so that many Koreans can enjoy these ingredients.
- Please make such a dish. - That sounds good.
If the dish turns out to be good, it might end up being popular.
It'll be sold on a home shopping network.
I'll announce the chefs who will cook with their ingredients.
Sam Kim, Jeong Ho Young, Yu Hyun Su, and Song Hoon.
(Cook-off for Yeo Esther and Hong Hye Geol)
(Song Hoon versus Sam Kim, Hyun Su versus Ho Young)
With ingredients in Esther and Hye Geol's fridge,
it's the first cook-off.
It's the competition between Western food masters.
Song Hoon, the master of American cuisine versus...
Sam Kim, the master of Italian cuisine.
After his first appearance on Chef and My Fridge,
Hoon became the strongest candidate.
(His composed look and quick hands)
(Chef Hoon!)
(He's concentrating so hard that he can't hear.)
(He creates a work of art on a plate.)
(His skills make other chefs nervous.)
- He wasn't flustered one bit. - Right.
However, he didn't answer our questions.
(He didn't answer questions.)
Sam is in the first place.
What do you think about Chef Hoon?
His cooking surprised everyone last time.
You don't seem nervous at all.
When we talked briefly,
you said that you were sleepy.
That's why you said.
- I'll stretch. - Stretch?
(The competition starts now.)
- You should warm up. - Right.
Hoon, what do you think of Chef Sam?
When it comes to Italian cuisine,
he's the top chef in Korea.
He's my senior colleague, and he's older than me, but...
But?
We're in the kitchen.
We start as equals in the kitchen.
So, I'll do my best to have a victorious win today.
(It will be a great competition.)
He's a senior and older than him.
- However, they're in the kitchen. - They're in the kitchen.
- So they start off as equal. - They're both business owners.
That's what it is.
(They're both business owners.)
Today's theme is...
Western food that will relieve...
Esther's menopause stress.
Both of them studied in the US.
Hoon was in New York. Sam was in Los Angeles.
Beverly Hills.
They're on the opposite ends.
He also went to Italy to study.
In that regard, Sam might have an advantage.
When I was in New York, I worked as a sous-chef...
at a restaurant called Maialino for three years.
I worked at a Roman food restaurant...
which is more specific.
- Roman cuisine may be... - "Roman"?
similar to Italian.
However, mine is more sophisticated.
(It's food from the capital city.)
Which means Sam makes suburban food from Italy.
While he makes food from the capital city.
- No. - He says that yours is suburban.
The trend leader in Italy is Milan.
(The center of trends is Milan.)
I will shift directions today...
and present you food from Milan.
- Can you change it on the spot? - What is it?
One of my dishes will be a sophisticated Roman dish.
The other will be a Milan-style dish.
- It's intimidating. - Milan-style?
It sounds like he's provoking him.
Based on my experience, food in Milan is...
much better than Rome.
Is that so?
He can still make it.
I'll give you a tip.
Remember that I'm a Korean woman...
in her 50s in her menopause.
I like Korean-style aglio e olio.
Roman or Milan-style aren't necessary.
They aren't necessary.
(The battle of nerves was pointless.)
That fuss earlier was for nothing.
Make Seoul-style Italian food.
(Hoon chose pork neck, boiled octopus, abalone,)
(boiled quail eggs, broccoli, orange, seasoned aster,)
(shiitake mushroom, white wine vinegar, walnut oil...)
(Sam Kim chose pork neck, boiled octopus, rib eye, potatoes,)
(tomatoes, parsley, seasoned aster, shiitake mushroom,)
(king oyster mushroom, plain yogurt, bell pepper, white wine vinegar,)
(orange, and balsamic vinegar.)
What kind of dish did you prepare, Hoon?
It's called "Braised Dish to Stop Menopause".
- What? - "Braised Dish to Stop Menopause".
- Is it a braised dish? - It's a braised dish.
I'll start with Sicilian octopus salad.
- You'll stop by Rome... - He's using octopus.
and enjoy something sophisticated.
Then, there's a braised dish called osso buco in Milan.
It's a dish made with veal shanks.
- It'll take long. - Usually, it takes...
a maximum of 2.5 hours to make it.
I'll make it in 15 minutes.
It's full of vitamin B1 that's good for menopause.
I'll make braised pork neck...
as my dish.
His opponent, Chef Sam.
What dish will you make?
The dish I'll make is...
Don't Break Down, Octopus.
- "Don't Break Down, Octopus". - "Don't Break Down, Octopus".
- "Don't Break Down, Octopus". - I see.
Does it mean, "don't break down due to menopause"?
That's correct. I was quite surprised...
when he said that he'll make Sicilian octopus salad.
Because I'll also be making an octopus salad.
I'll use pork and mushrooms for my main dish.
I don't know if I have enough time,
but I'll also prepare a simple dessert.
This will make a difference.
It's been a while since Sam made dessert.
They're using similar ingredients.
Pork neck and octopus, right?
I'll show you the difference in region.
(Their regional pride gets worse.)
It's a competition of styles.
He's confident.
He's definitely confident.
Let's start the competition.
He challenged Chef Sam with Italian cuisine.
He's fearless Chef Hoon.
He represents Italian cuisine in Korea.
It's a competition between Chef Hoon and Chef Sam.
Who will be the true master of Western food?
We'll now start the Western food cook-off.
(15-minute cook-off starts.)
(Put diced celery, finely diced chili into a mixer.)
Osso buco Milanese is served with risotto.
Are you making that, Chef Hoon?
He can't hear once he starts cooking.
Turn on the stove, Hoon.
Who are you talking to?
- He doesn't hear you. - Turn on the stove.
Do we have a loudspeaker?
He knows what he's doing.
Osso buco Milanese is...
made with risotto.
He didn't mention risotto,
so I'm not sure if he's making it.
Osso buco needs saffron risotto.
Do you have to add saffron risotto?
That's Milanese.
Do you add saffron risotto?
I'm not adding risotto.
Instead, I'll add ramyeon noodles.
He'll use ramyeon noodles.
I need to add carbohydrates.
Sam is beating eggs first.
(Separate egg yolk from egg white and beat them.)
(Make lemon curd and dice potatoes and cook them in boiling water.)
Can you beat them?
(He asks for help.)
(Unichef comes to help.)
(Stir lemon curd in a water bath.)
(Cool lemon curd by putting it in iced water.)
(Hoon starts to prepare octopus.)
(Sprinkle olive oil and black pepper on boiled octopus.)
He's grilling the boiled octopus.
He said it's Sicilian-style.
Is it Sicilian-style?
Is grilling octopus Sicilian-style?
- Yes. - He says yes.
It's very hard to get a response.
(Transferring the grilled octopus)
Chef Ho Young is helping him...
with slicing the grilled octopus.
I feel like we're in Italy.
(Slice octopus grilled on the gridiron.)
(Grind diced king oyster and shiitake mushroom.)
Something came out from the blender.
- They're mushrooms. - Mushrooms.
They go on a pan.
(Add olive oil, black pepper, salt, crushed ginger and garlic...)
(to ground mushrooms.)
What is he looking for?
- Vinegar. - "Vinegar".
- It's over there. - Vinegar.
Chef Hoon didn't hide it, did he?
He hands it to him.
He heard that, but he doesn't usually hear our questions.
I think he doesn't respond because if he does,
we question him again.
That's why he doesn't respond at all.
Hoon is preparing pork neck.
(Season pork neck with salt and black pepper.)
I think the pork neck is going into the steamer.
- That's right. - The pressure cooker?
In the pressure cooker?
He'll steam it.
To reduce time,
Hoon is grilling pork neck.
He's cooking pork neck with vegetables on a pan.
- What's that? - Onions and celery.
- He's also adding abalone. - Abalone?
Will you grill or steam pork neck?
After grilling it, I'll put everything in the cooker.
Will you steam it after grilling it?
He's deep-frying ramyeon noodles.
Is he deep-frying ramyeon?
- Yes. - He's deep-frying the noodles.
He's very quick.
- He's checking the time. - He's calm.
(He's relaxed and composed.)
He's very quick.
(He removes oil from fried ramyeon.)
He looks like he's been on the show...
- for many years. - I know.
He remains composed.
(Grill a bell pepper on a pan with olive oil.)
Sam is cutting tomatoes.
Hoon already prepared his tomatoes.
(Add white wine vinegar, sugar, lemon juice, salt,)
(black pepper, and olive oil to tomatoes.)
(Add grilled bell pepper and boiled potatoes to make a salad.)
- Next is tomato sauce. - Tomato sauce.
Pork neck will be flavorful.
- Yes. - Less than 10 minutes remain.
I wonder how flavored the meat will be.
That will be important.
- It's going in the cooker. - There it is.
- Will he cook it in the cooker? - Yes.
- He puts it in a pressure cooker. - He also added parsley.
- He put parsley last. - Pressure cookers can...
make the meat tender in a short period of time.
Sam took out pork neck.
He brought out pork neck.
He's using a different method.
I'll pound it.
It's to tenderize it.
He handles pork neck differently.
It's uncomfortable to eat tough meat during menopause...
- if it gets stuck in your teeth. - That's true.
Being delicious is important.
(Awkward)
Here is pork neck.
How will he cook pork neck?
- That's interesting. - Is he putting mushrooms on top?
It's stir-fried mushrooms.
Like stuffing,
I think he'll roll it like sundae.
- Will he grill it afterward? - Yes.
- There's a thread. - Thread.
He brought out a thread.
Will he grill it?
(Slice orange thinly and cut the head of the broccoli.)
He's trimming the head.
He stir-fries it.
(Stir-fry broccoli, salt, and black pepper in olive oil.)
I see.
Hoon is very neat. He cleans up as he cooks.
Yes.
(He focuses again.)
Soy sauce? Balsamic vinegar?
(Tapping)
- What is he doing? - He is plating the dish.
- Is he plating the dish already? - Yes.
He tapped with a spoon.
He is plating the dish already.
- Over five minutes remain. - He is fast.
His hands move fast because he doesn't answer.
- Hoon. - Yes.
- I just felt like calling you. - Okay.
(Coy)
- He will serve octopus salad. - That's right.
They are working very fast today.
Octopus is out of the pot.
- It must be hot. - I know.
- My goodness. - It must be hot.
Grilling and blanching. Different cooking methods were used.
Sam is cooking steak.
- That will be steak. - Yes.
Hoon is making osso buco with pork neck.
Osso buco is inside the pressure cooker.
- Osso... What? - Osso buco.
"Osso" means "Bone" and "Buco" means "Hole".
(I see.)
That was unexpected.
Sam doesn't usually show off his knowledge.
I know.
He answered the question in Hoon's stead.
(Cook rib eye on the oiled grill pan.)
Seasoned aster.
- It looks delicious. - I know.
- These dishes are for Esther. - Yes.
These dishes are for one person.
I am really happy, but seeing them work so hard...
makes my heart ache.
- Seong Ju, five minutes remain. - Yes.
Five minutes. I will go out in the field.
Who will be the king of Italian cuisine?
Seriously.
What is this sauce for?
It's for the salad.
I will taste the salad sauce.
- Okay. - Let's see how the salad will be.
How does the sauce taste?
Hoon's salad.
Does it remind you of Rome?
It's refreshing.
It's like the morning of "Roman Holiday".
That's right.
Is this for the salad?
- Try this. - Shall I try that?
This is for the salad.
It's not complete yet.
I will try it.
I hope it reminds you of Milan.
Do you feel like you are in Milan?
Sam's sauce is a bit sourer.
- Is it sourer? - Yes, it is a bit sourer.
(Separate the white and yolk of boiled quail eggs.)
(Mince the white of boiled quail eggs.)
(Julienne aster and add it on the plate.)
The presentation belongs at a Michelin-starred restaurant.
The details are incredible.
I can't believe he has time for the presentation.
He captivates a woman's heart.
He is adding octopus slices one by one.
Hoon is making the salad with great care.
(Blend chopped garlic and parsley and olive oil...)
(to make parsley pesto.)
(Sam's aster has been grilled nicely.)
Three minutes remain.
- Not much time remains. - On the pan are...
two types of steak.
- Will you serve them together? - Yes.
He did the right thing by preparing two types of steak.
Esther might have a change of heart.
That's right.
- She might want different meat. - That's right.
She might change her mind.
(Put octopus salad in a round mold on a plate.)
2 minutes and 10 seconds remain.
(He tries octopus.)
He checked the taste of octopus.
It looks like he is satisfied.
Sam is plating the salad, too.
Two minutes remain.
He is adding aster...
and the refreshing and sour sauce.
He is sprinkling more sauce on the top.
They cook with great details.
Sam's salad came out first.
(Ho Young checks the time.)
It takes some time to release steam.
Make sure you remember that.
- I will plate it in front of her. - I see.
Hoon's salad isn't ready yet.
- All right. - It's fried ramyeon.
It's fried ramyeon.
About a minute remains.
Hoon's salad is out.
Hoon's salad is out. A minute remains.
It's time for the pork neck dish to come out.
(Sam begins to work on the dessert.)
(Sprinkle sugar on the orange and heat up with a torch.)
Osso buco and steak need to come out.
Pork neck osso buco and pork neck steak.
Sam's face fell. What is the matter?
- It's not cooked. - It's not cooked.
- Really? - It's not cooked.
- Put it on the pan. - About 30 seconds remain.
Sam's steak isn't fully cooked.
He is torching the meat.
Osso buco needs to be served.
I will plate the dish in front of her.
You will serve it from the cooker.
Yes. It's Roman style.
The server plates the dish in front of the customer.
I see. There is no way of knowing if it's true.
7, 6, 5, 4.
Hoon is done.
- 3, 2, 1. - Sam, wrap up the dishes.
(Plate rib eye, pork neck steak, parsley pesto, and balsamic sauce.)
(Put lemon curd, plain yogurt, and orange in a cold glass.)
- He is done. - Sam, wrap up the dishes.
He is done.
Sam is done as well.
(Don't Break Down, Octopus is complete.)
He is done. Sam is done as well.
This is a bit...
Do people use a rice cooker in Rome?
I have no idea.
I don't know because I haven't been to Rome.
- I can't dispute him. - As far as know,
that kind of pressure cooker isn't used in Italy.
Is that Roman style?
The Roman style...
is characterized by the chef's service.
The chef's service.
Hoon is quite brazen.
Seriously.
I don't know if it really is the Roman style.
Thus, the Western dishes for Esther are complete.
She will try Hoon's dishes first.
(Chef Song Hoon's Braised Dish to Stop Menopause)
While Esther mixes the octopus salad...
and shares it with her husband,
I will help her with the table service.
- In Rome, - The chef serves the dish.
- the chef serves the dish. - Like this.
- Why are you mixing everything? - Hoon told her to mix it.
- Is it supposed to be mixed? - Yes.
- We should listen to the chef. - Okay.
Please get this on camera.
He asked the staff to get that on camera.
Hoon is quite brazen.
I know. Please try the salad first.
How does the salad taste?
(How does it taste?)
Hye Geol, it's really tasty.
- I see. - It's tasty.
- It's tasty. - Is it tasty?
What is this?
You had quail eggs, so I added those.
Adding potatoes would make it a Sicilian salad.
I don't like potatoes.
That's why I used quail eggs instead.
Quail eggs are tasty and good for the memories.
- I have never had them this way. - I see.
My mouth won't stop watering.
I like burnt dried filefish.
And that means...
I like the taste of burnt food.
Since this octopus was grilled on a gridiron...
- You know where I am going, right? - Yes.
It has a smokey and nutty flavor.
I can't describe the taste.
This is frustrating.
Isn't it like the morning in Rome?
That's right. It's refreshing.
- Right? - It's the sour taste.
Hye Geol, when we went to Rome,
we couldn't put our hands in the Mouth of Truth...
because you messed up the schedule.
Why would you bring that up...
on this good day?
(This is what married couples are like.)
(Scraping)
(This man is busy.)
(Hold on. Something doesn't seem right.)
My mouth keeps watering.
- I ate too much of it. - It's okay.
(He adds olive oil without hesitation.)
(It feels like...)
He is cooking right now.
Did he cook?
Yes. While we were talking,
- he sprinkled olive oil. - That's Roman style.
He did more than serve the dish.
That's not true.
Everyone. Everyone.
That's Roman style.
For goodness' sake.
- Gosh. - I had no idea.
Rome will issue a statement.
(A statement regarding the misrepresentation)
The next time,
he should make teppanyaki in front of the guest.
"I will cook for the guest."
"This is Fukuoka style."
If the theme is Japanese cuisine, he can make sushi.
Yeon Bok, you should make jjajangmyeon.
Teppanyaki.
Hoon can make teppanyaki.
Sushi.
Do that the next time.
- He is a newbie. - Okay.
- Let's be understanding today. - Okay.
You will get a warning next time it happens.
- That's right. - Okay.
That dish was cooked in Roman style.
He cooked this dish in a pressure rice cooker.
That's right. It's osso buco.
- There are abalones, - Abalones.
- pork neck, - They should cut the ingredients.
mushrooms, and fried ramyeon.
- That's right. - She is in a hurry.
- Gosh, this is... - Is the abalone cooked?
- It's cooked nicely. - It's just right.
It's not tough at all.
It's neither salty nor spicy.
- It's just right. - That's right.
Pork neck is the most important ingredient.
I wonder how pork neck tastes.
- Do you taste tomatoes? - Yes, I do.
I usually don't like tomato sauce,
but this dish is tasty.
- It has a unique flavor. - I see.
Is it basil? What could it be?
- I... - It contains a lot of parsley.
- It's the aroma of parsley. - It's subtle.
It's strange, but fried ramyeon suits this dish.
- Really? - It's crunchy.
He added it for the texture.
- He fried ramyeon. - That's right.
You wanted an Italian dish with a Korean twist.
- That's exactly what this dish is. - I see.
Using the rice cooker...
added that Korean twist.
It should be spicy because of Cheongyang pepper.
Since it's an oily dish,
I added one Cheongyang pepper...
to improve the taste.
I like your passion, Hoon.
I told you not to add peppers, but you added one.
I like it.
What does that mean?
I'm not sure how that comment should be interpreted.
She sounds like she's displeased...
- yet happy at the same time. - I'm not sure...
if that was sarcasm or a compliment.
(This is the taste of Milan.)
(Octopus salad, steak, and dessert)
(Chef Sam Kim's Don't Break Down, Octopus)
You can compare the salads since they're both made of octopus.
I know.
You're supposed to eat it with the grilled aster.
- Is this aster? - Yes, with the grilled aster.
- Grilled aster. - I see.
Try the octopus salad now. You may be able to compare...
- the two salads. - Smell it. It's interesting.
Maybe...
- It smells good. - My gosh.
- It smells so good. - What kind of scent is it?
I'm curious too.
We don't usually burn aster to make food.
- Right. - That's right.
- Is it good? - We usually season it.
- He used it like a herb. - Like a herb?
It tastes like burnt or smoked...
- meat. - I think olive oil was sprinkled...
before it was grilled.
- I see. - I like it.
Sam is an expert at burning vegetables.
- You mean grilling? - Grilling.
- Grilling. - He's so good at it.
Marinated ribs grilled on a gridiron taste good...
because the saturated fat in the ribs are burnt.
- As you burn it after putting oil, - Yes, olive oil.
it's like a vegetable that tastes like ribs.
- It is? - Can we eat this too?
- Sure. - Of course, you can.
After trying the octopus salad...
- Right. - Try it with the mushroom.
(Nodding in approval)
- I'm so happy. - Are you happy?
This tastes amazing.
- What? - What did you put in?
- Garlic and lemon. - Goodness.
What is it?
It's so good, but why is the amount so little?
- All of a sudden... - Well...
- You already knew that. - As it's a multi-course meal...
I've never tasted pork neck like this before.
It's so... How should I describe it?
- That's what he tied with a thread. - Yes.
There are burnt mushrooms in there.
- Oh, mushrooms. - Mushrooms.
- It's good. - The steak is good too,
but the pork neck in the middle is scrumptious.
How should I describe the taste?
- It must be very attractive. - Yes.
- Try the dessert now. - Now, the dessert.
- Please try it. - It's actually sour...
lemon curd mixed with yogurt.
She emphasized a lot how good yogurt is for your health.
- Yes. It's healthy. - It's a health food from nature.
That's right.
Lastly, they're trying the dessert.
- Egg yolks... - Underneath...
I think you should mix them together.
- Underneath? - With the yogurt.
Gosh, this is really good too.
- It's... - Is it egg on the top?
Egg and lemon juice.
It's good, but for one thing.
What is that?
It would've been better without the eggs.
Does it smell bad?
It doesn't smell bad, but I wanted to...
wrap up the meal with just the yogurt and not the egg.
- Lemon... - Esther! You can just eat it.
- You ate all the food and... - Gosh, these are...
made by top-class chefs.
- It's okay. - It's all right.
It is good, Sam.
What should he do?
- He's checking it. - I checked the taste.
- This match is so... - It's hard to predict.
- Right. - You have to make up your mind.
Please press one to vote for Hoon...
and press two to vote for Sam.
Make up your mind and press the button, please.
She pressed it carefully.
- Did she press it? - Yes.
The two renowned Italian chefs competed against each other.
Will it be Sam or Hoon?
Let's find out the result.
Who is it?
The result is...
(Chef Sam won.)
- It's Sam. Sam won. - Goodness.
It's Sam. What was the reason?
What do you think Korean menopausal women would hate the most?
They should not feel like they're back in the kitchen...
where they've already worked for decades.
So how could he bring out a pressure cooker?
- It should've been a Roman style. - It was supposed...
- to be a Roman style. - Gosh, a pressure cooker?
- Gosh. - That made you make up your mind.
- But... - That makes sense.
Hoon, the harmony of the octopus salad...
with the quail eggs I tasted first was so amazing...
that I'd order it and eat it again when I go to...
- your restaurant. - I see.
- But... - She liked it so much.
what menopausal women need is...
healing of the scars in their hearts.
In that regard, Sam's dish named...
"Don't Break Down, Octopus" sounded so sentimental.
- "Don't Break Down, Octopus". - I see.
Look how considerate he is.
Although this dessert didn't taste that good...
(What? Pardon?)
How could you say that?
My goodness.
He must not be that happy even though he's won.
- Right? - Gosh.
- He didn't win or lose. - Don't break down.
No, no. It was good.
It's not easy to be considerate toward menopausal women.
I think a lot of effort and attention are needed.
Let's give Hye Geol a round of applause.
- This theme... - Gosh.
Sam achieved the seventh star badge.
- He's the outright leader. - He is.
- Congratulations. - It's his seventh star badge.
(Make lemon curd with egg yolks and boil cubed potato.)
(Stir-fry ground mushrooms with vinegar. Grill bell peppers.)
(Make salad with tomato, boiled potato and sauteed mushrooms.)
(Wrap grilled peppers with pork and grill it. Add octopus to the salad.)
(Grill beef, aster, and pork. Make sauce with balsamic vinegar.)
(Make parsley pesto with olive oil and garlic.)
(Sprinkle sugar on orange and grill it. Put custard in a cold glass.)
We'll start the second cook-off with Esther and Hye Geol's...
ingredients in their fridge.
It's the two chefs who dream of becoming the Avengers of the show.
It's a match between Hyun Su and Ho Young.
Hyun Su was on a roll,
but ever since he painted his face blue last time...
That's right.
(Avatar Yu)
(Avatar Yu showed his sentiments in a crude way.)
He has been going downhill since then.
- Gosh. - And he lost to Hoon...
who is a newbie here.
So he's completely knocked down now.
What is worse,
Ho Young, whom he's contending against today, is...
very strong against Hyun Su.
Throughout all the seasons, Ho Young won six times and Hyun Su won...
- only once at their cook-offs. - Goodness.
Ho Young never lost to him for the past two years.
- For two years. - It means Ho Young...
- He's Hyun Su's killer. - dominates Hyun Su.
Is there a reason you're especially good when you're against Hyun Su?
Hyun Su is...
(Ho Young...)
Hyun Su is a good cook...
and a smooth talker,
but he's not good at seasoning food.
- Goodness. - That is harsh.
What a blow.
It means he's confident that much.
The theme for this match is centered around the most trendy...
vegetables Hye Geol selected,
which are celery, parsley, and broccoli.
Making health foods using these three.
When it comes to health foods, Hyun Su has been great though.
He speaks so smoothly like a medicine peddler.
That's right. He's a smooth talker.
He's good at it.
I've come with a determined mindset for this cook-off.
In fact, the entire nation is interested in this theme.
Apigenin.
All right.
The entire nation?
Here he goes again.
All the people of our country should live...
a healthy and cheerful life, right?
So I don't care about the fact our record against each other is 6 to 1.
Because the entire nation is interested in the theme.
As there are real experts, he doesn't talk that much.
- Oh, my gosh. - Usually, he said...
- he had some infection and so on. - Exactly.
"I had some infection, but after I ate it,"
- "I got well." He'd say that. - "I got well."
I won't sell any medicine today,
and I'm not sick at all either.
I think it's your first time today that you're not sick.
You were sick very often, but you're not today.
(Hyun Su chose broccoli, celery, parsley, tofu, walnut oil,)
(zucchini, barley soybean paste, abalone, squid, and cucumber.)
(Ho Young chose broccoli, celery, parsley, tofu, squid, shrimp,)
(mushrooms, clam meat, bean sprouts, canned tuna, and pickled radish.)
First, Hyun Su, what are you going to make?
The name of the dish I'm going to make today is...
Apigenin Man.
(Apigenin Man)
- Not Iron Man, but Apigenin Man? - Gosh.
Does Apigenin Man hold a rice bowl?
Yes, Apigenin Man.
- Because it's a Korean dish. - Because I need to cook rice.
How are you going to make it?
I'm going to make an apigenin trio.
- A trio? - Yes.
I heard that he likes tofu.
Broccoli is divided into two parts,
the florets and the stalk.
Using the florets,
I'm going to make broccoli tofu.
It's the first attempt in the country to make it...
- in my opinion. - I guess so.
And with the stalk and parsley,
I'm going to make broccoli kimchi.
And the other one is...
stir-fried seafood and celery.
I'm going to make theses three dishes as a trio.
Ho Young contending against him, what are you going to make?
The name of the dish I'm going to make is...
Dr. Ho Young Strange.
(Dr. Ho Young Strange)
"Dr. Ho Young Strange"?
Isn't that Kung Fu Panda?
My goodness.
Kung Fu Panda?
Don't bring up a panda.
I'm going to make three dishes too.
First, I'm going to ground parsley,
make noodles with it,
and put plenty of seafood... to make spicy noodles...
that taste like kalguksu or jjamppong.
- That's going to be very good. - Second,
as he likes tofu, I'm going to blend tofu,
canned tuna, and broccoli...
to make jeon.
(Seafood jjamppong and broccoli jeon)
Lastly, I'm going to season and mix...
celery and pickled radish.
- Seasoned celery and radish? - Celery and pickled radish.
Okay. We'll now begin the cook-off.
It's Hyun Su, the official smooth talker of Chef and My Fridge...
versus Ho Young who is willing to show once again...
that cooking is not about talking.
Will they be able to create healthy dishes...
that will satisfy the doctors of medicine?
We'll now start the 15-minute cook-off.
Let's go.
- Don't you use this? - I put broccoli...
in water with salt and vinegar in advance.
The best way to enjoy broccoli is...
to steam it.
So I' going to steam the tofu.
Cutting the broccoli looks as if you're cutting hair.
Because I use only the florets.
- Oh, the florets. - Yes.
He's really smart.
Are the amount of nutrients in the florets and the stalk different?
There are more nutrients in the florets as far as I know.
- In the florets? - Yes.
(Blend finely cut broccoli, tofu,)
(sesame, and starch in a hand blender.)
(Can he really make tofu with broccoli?)
I put in broccoli, tofu,
and some sesame.
I added starch to them and blended them.
- Are you steaming it? - Yes, I am.
So that it becomes hard again.
It's put into a steamer.
He's making it like tofu.
Right. He's making broccoli tofu.
Hyun Su made bean curd out of nothing...
- last time. - Bean curd.
He's very good at making bean curd or tofu.
(Meanwhile, Ho Young)
(Cook abalones in boiling water.)
(Add anchovy broth packet to the water to make the broth.)
(Blanch parsley in the broth.)
(He hands over the parsley to Unichef.)
(Blend blanched parsley.)
(Add flour and blend once more to make the parsley noodle dough.)
(Blanch broccoli in boiling water and store in cold water.)
Broccoli, celery, and parsley are ingredients...
that are quite easy to purchase.
- Yes. - That's right.
- It's just hard to cook them. - That's right.
- It's just hard to cook them. - It's a matter of how you cook it.
They are accessible ingredients.
People make mixed squid or mixed whelk.
Adding blanched celery improves...
the texture and taste of the dish.
That's right.
He is slicing boiled abalones.
There is the squid.
He is scoring the squid.
(Score the squid and cut into long strips.)
Will the squid go into kalguksu?
Yes. It will be a spicy dish that is a bit like...
jjamppong.
- Do you like jjamppong? - Of course.
Hye Geol likes jjamppong.
They should cook with a sense of duty.
The recipes will improve people's health.
That's right.
(Ho Young begins to make the jjamppong soup.)
(Add garlic, green onion, onion, squid, abalone, and shrimp.)
(Stir-fry with chili pepper powder and sliced peppers.)
(Add broth to make jjamppong soup.)
(Shiitake mushroom and king oyster mushroom)
It looks like jjamppong soup.
Ho Young is working fast.
It's advantageous to finish first when you have noodles.
That soup looks delicious.
Bean sprouts will give it a refreshing taste.
(This dish will blow away your stress.)
(Hyun Su starts to make broccoli kkakdugi.)
(Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.)
(Add salt and vinegar to the water and blanch the broccoli.)
We don't normally eat the stalk of broccoli.
However, it's used for a variety of dishes...
in China.
Add a bit of sugar to soy sauce and boil.
Then you cool it down and put the julienned stalk in it...
to make pickle.
- It's really tasty. - It's really tasty.
In the Arab world, people peel and chew on...
the broccoli stalk because it has a lot of water.
- It's a source of water. - Yes.
(Hyun Su is making the broccoli kkakdugi.)
(Chili peppers and seasoned cucumber)
(Blend red chili peppers, seasoned cucumber, vinegar,)
(garlic, and sugar to make the seasoning for kkakdugi.)
- That's parsley. - Parsley.
He took out parsley.
Since it has a rough texture,
I will mince it.
He minced parsley.
(Mince parsley and mix it with the kkakdugi seasoning.)
He said he will make kkakdugi.
Will it be tasty?
(Mix blanched broccoli and kkakdugi seasoning.)
(Ho Young becomes busier.)
Only six minutes remain. He needs to make noodles.
I know. It's time to make noodles.
Ho Young begins to make noodles.
- A lot of parsley went into it. - Right?
Parsley is usually used as decoration.
When you blend it into the dough,
the aroma becomes subtle...
because starch absorbs the aroma.
The aroma becomes subtle.
(Slice the folded parsley noodle dough...)
(and cook in the boiling water.)
Ho Young is using broccoli.
He will leave out the stalk and use the florets.
He will make jeon.
That's right. He is adding tofu and tuna.
Tofu and tuna.
(Blend tofu, onion, canned tuna, and flavored soy sauce.)
What is that batter?
I will make jeon with this batter.
(Mix in eggs and mayonnaise and make jeon in an oiled pan.)
(Top with sliced broccoli and cocktail shrimp.)
It's colorful.
I know. The red color makes it pretty.
What are you adding?
- Pine nuts. - Pine nuts.
(Top with pine nuts and cook.)
It will be nutty.
I am sorry, but isn't that the swamp...
a koala fell into in the previous episode?
- What? - That jeon was...
next to the swamp.
(Are you ready to save the koala?)
I was reminded of last week.
(Hyun Su begins to make the apigenin trio.)
All right.
Hyun Su is cutting long strips of celery.
Yes.
Apigenin Man. His hands are fast.
As for the seafood, I will use abalones, squid,
and freshwater snails.
- Are there freshwater snails? - Yes, there are.
I am cooking with walnut oil.
Using walnut oil adds...
good qualities.
Good qualities? What are those good qualities?
Anti-inflammatory.
- Anti-inflammatory. - Is it true?
Yes, it's true.
Walnut oil has anti-inflammatory effects.
What was it called? It's a...
- He wants to use big words. - Phytochemicals.
- Phytochemicals. - That's right.
- Right? Phytochemicals. - What?
- Phytochemicals. - Does he know what he is saying?
Just remember phytochemicals.
They are plant-based chemical compounds.
Apigenin is a type of phytochemicals.
My goodness.
(Stir-fry with barley soybean paste, sesame, and starch water.)
Jung Hwan, we have less than five minutes left.
- Time passed so quickly. - That's right.
- The noodles. - I will go out in the field.
We don't have much time.
Dr. Ho Young Strange.
(At that moment)
Dr. Ho Young Strange.
It's burnt.
(Oh, my goodness.)
(It's burnt.)
I made it crispy.
You made it crispy.
Hye Geol,
eating burnt food is bad for your body, right?
- A bit. - A bit.
Taste the soup.
- Shall I taste the soup? - Taste the soup.
Hye Geol likes jjamppong.
It's the kalguksu soup.
Will it save Hye Geol's health?
- It tastes good. - Really?
It should be reduced a bit more.
(They aren't watching an eating show.)
(Hyun Su works on the celery.)
Since celery is the main ingredient,
- I am adding a large quantity. - Celery.
Celery and soybean paste...
go surprisingly well together.
Celery has a strong aroma.
I wonder if it will go well with soybean paste.
- I know. - I haven't tried them together.
- Parsley noodles. - Parsley noodles.
He took out the parsley noodles.
The color is lovely.
Those noodles will go into the soup.
- Hold on. - Pickled radish.
I will mix pickled radish.
- Pickled radish. - What will you mix it with?
- Celery. - Celery.
He is adding green onion, too.
Both green onion and celery have a strong aroma.
I have never seen this combination before.
- I know. - Will celery and pickled radish...
- go together? - Seriously.
- A minute remains. - A minute remains.
Less than a minute remains.
It's advantageous for Ho Young to finish first...
since he has a noodle dish.
Mixed picked radish and celery.
Mixed picked radish and celery is complete.
- Squid is out. - Where is the squid?
(Tofu comes out of the steamer.)
Tofu. Tofu. Tofu.
- Tofu. Tofu. - My goodness.
It doesn't look very nice.
What will he do?
- It's okay. - The shape is... Is it okay?
It will be fine once it cools down a bit.
30 seconds remain.
Stir-fried seafood.
It's time to plate the stir-fried seafood.
- 20 seconds. 20 seconds. - My goodness.
- 30 seconds remain. - Plate the dishes.
Broccoli jeon is done.
Ho Young is done with broccoli jeon.
Is this ready?
- He needs to plate kalguksu. - I just need to pour the soup here.
- 10, 9, - 9,
- 8, 7, - 8, 7,
(Add parsley noodles and jjampong soup to the bowl to serve.)
- 8, 7, 6... - 8, 7, 6...
(Put sliced broccoli tofu on a plate.)
- 3, 2... - 3, 2...
Ho Young is done.
(Crashing)
Ho Young is done.
- He sped up to finish first... - Be careful.
because he has a noodle dish.
Hyun Su is done, too.
(Apigenin Man has finished.)
(Broccoli, celery, and parsley transformed into amazing dishes.)
Gosh, this tofu is pretty.
Tofu looks like a mugwort rice cake.
That was fierce.
- I know. - Both of them are done.
(Mixed celery, parsley jjamppong, and broccoli jeon)
(Chef Jeong Ho Young's Dr. Ho Young Strange)
- Please try the three dishes. - Okay.
(It's time to try the dishes.)
May I try them, too?
- Go ahead. - Of course, you may.
They have different tastes.
These dishes were made to suit Hye Geol's taste.
The soup is delicious.
Really?
He worked on the soup from the start...
because he didn't have much time.
(She tries a spoonful.)
- The soup is delicious. - It's really delicious.
She said she can't eat spicy food.
I can't eat spicy food,
but menopause changes me every second.
I like how the dish tastes right now.
It's like that.
It changes you every second.
Please keep that in mind.
(Slurping)
"It changes you every second."
That's right.
These noodles are incredible.
He blended parsley and mixed it with flour.
- Yes. - The noodles are chewy.
I don't know how he made them.
- I am highly satisfied. - He made them.
- They are handmade. - You are eating fresh noodles.
They are so chewy.
Although it's jjamppong,
it also tastes like ramyeon.
- Really? - Yes.
Ji Yong, it tastes like ramyeon.
It tastes like ramyeon without ramyeon seasoning.
Are you teasing him?
I was staring at it because I wanted to try it.
He loves noodle dishes.
I normally don't like jjamppong,
but this apigenin jjamppong is really tasty.
Can you smell the parsley?
- Not at all. - Not at all.
Not at all.
(Hyun Su becomes nervous and Ho Young shows a smile.)
Ho Young...
blanched the parsley.
He blanched it to make the aroma more subdued.
(She tries jeon this time.)
My goodness. My goodness.
Hye Geol, try this. It's so tasty.
- Which one? - This one.
- Jeon. - My goodness.
(Hye Geol takes a bite.)
The jeon is really tasty, too.
It contains...
a lot of broccoli and tofu.
Burnt jeon is surprisingly tasty.
It's quite crispy.
The last dish contains pickled radish...
and celery.
(Will he like it as well?)
Mixed pickled radish and celery.
(Nervous)
This dish smells a bit like grass.
- It must be the celery. - It has a strong aroma.
- He used raw celery. - That's right.
Some people love the aroma of celery.
That's right.
There are people who dip celery in mayonnaise.
That's right.
Had the celery slices been thick,
the taste would have been too strong.
But since the slices are thin, the scent is a bit mild...
and tastes wonderful.
Chef and My Fridge is incredible.
(Chef and My Fridge is incredible.)
Thank you.
I have an idea to upgrade the dish.
You put in only parsley here,
but if you had put all three ingredients,
we'd be able to eat them in one go.
It'll become jjamppong with apigenin noodles.
- Parsley, broccoli, and celery. - Blend them all together.
- It's a nice tip. - That sounds great.
- I like it. It's really good. - It's good.
- Is it good? - Yes.
(His mouth is watering.)
Now, please try Hyun Su's dishes.
(A trio made with parsley, broccoli, and celery)
(Chef Yu Hyun Su's Apigenin Man)
You can consider the tofu as rice...
and eat it with the stir-fried seafood...
and kkakdugi as side dishes.
- Should they eat the tofu first? - Yes, tofu first.
- Seriously... - Eat it with something else?
- Please taste the tofu first. - Only the tofu.
His tofu-making skill is exceptional.
It has a scent,
and it's not bad.
- It's not? - It has a very delicate scent.
- It's not too much? - It's not.
- It looks a little like rice cake. - It does.
(Having a bite)
- Well... - I like it.
- Is the texture good? - Yes.
- It looks like a rice cake. - It's good.
- Do you like it? - Yes. I grew up...
next to a tofu factory.
- Right. - I think I've tried...
- all kinds of tofu in Korea. - Right, you like tofu.
The texture is good.
It feels like clay on my tongue, and it's nice.
- I knew it. - Isn't the scent strong?
It has a slight scent,
but it's not too much at all.
It's a very delicate scent.
Vegetables may not have a pleasant smell,
so I added sesame when I blended them.
It must be savory then.
- I can taste sesame too. - Yes, you can.
Sesame is good for your health too.
I knew he'd be good.
- Can I speak honestly? - Sure.
Because I hate tofu,
I think the tofu here...
doesn't have any taste at all. I'm so sorry.
How could you say this doesn't have any taste at all?
I apologize on behalf of her.
That's ridiculous.
This is the work of a master.
The problem is your tongue.
- Gosh. - Well,
originally, tofu doesn't have any taste at all.
- It's true that tofu is bland. - It is.
Those who don't know enough about tofu say that.
A tofu expert like me can feel the unique taste...
of soybean when I have a bite.
It has a very savory taste.
A big difference between those who love tofu and those who don't.
There is a huge difference.
If the tofu expert says it's true, it is true.
- Would you try the celery now? - The stir-fried celery.
Celery and seafood are stir-fried with soybean paste.
- Celery goes well with the paste? - I'm curious too.
I also wonder if they will go well together.
Celery has a very strong scent.
(Savoring)
But I can hardly smell celery.
- Is that so? - Maybe the paste neutralizes it.
I put in a lot of celery in the dish.
I put in chopped celery...
and added more celery when stir-frying them later as well.
- And the kkakdugi. - Let me taste the kkakdugi too.
- That looks... - Made with the stalk.
(Crunching)
We don't actually like to eat the stalks.
- Goodness. This is so good. - Gosh. I like it.
How can he make it taste like this?
(How can he make it taste like this?)
You can definitely call it kkakdugi as it's seasoned very well.
It does feel like kkakdugi.
Because he used the broccoli stalk,
some people may find it hard to eat.
So to make it quickly,
I blanched it in water with salt and vinegar...
and cooled it before I seasoned it.
That's a great technique.
This is the taste I've never felt before.
How come it tastes like sea squirts.
- Sea squirts? - Did you use something pungent?
- It's hard to explain. - I put in a lot of...
finely chopped parsley.
So it could be because of that.
- They are bitter and pungent. - A little bit.
That's possible.
He said it's a trio.
Try to put the others on the tofu...
- Right. Eat them together. - and eat them together.
- The tofu, seafood, and kkakdugi. - As it's a trio.
He's chewing all the three ingredients at the same time.
The blandness of the tofu...
- might feel less that way. - Right.
- He said the tofu is like rice. - It's good.
- Is it okay? - They go well with each other.
Now that I eat all three, the tofu tastes really good.
- It does? - Sure.
Maybe that's why it's called a trio.
When I eat them together, it's so good.
Thank you.
As Hye Geol wanted this theme,
Hye Geol will pick the winner.
Press one to vote for Hyun Su...
and press two to vote for Ho Young.
- It's difficult. - Right
- It's so difficult. - I see.
- Let me ask her just in case. - Okay.
What number would you choose?
(Whispering)
It looked like they were in a club or something.
"Do you want to have a drink?"
They look somewhat too affectionate.
- "Shall we go out?" - "Yes."
My wife and I have different opinions,
but I'll go my way.
Okay. Make up your mind and press the button, please.
(Finally, it's time to make the decision.)
- I pressed the button. - Good.
Then let's see who Hye Geol chose.
- Please show it to us. - The Apigenin Avengers.
Let's find out who Hye Geol picked.
Between Ho Young and Hyun Su,
who did he choose?
(What is Hye Geol's choice?)
Who did he choose?
(Chef Yu Hyun Su won.)
(Apigenin won.)
It's Hyun Su.
You picked Hyun Su.
Yes. They both used the three ingredients.
Personally, Ho Young's jjamppong...
- tasted the best. - Right, you enjoyed it a lot.
But I was torn because of this.
Apigenin is not easily destroyed with heat,
but it's better to apply less heat if possible.
- I see. - That was why.
A lot of heat is applied to these dishes,
but not that much heat is applied to the other ones.
Their point of view is definitely different from ours.
Hye Geol will present a star badge to him.
- This is... - Congratulations.
his fifth star badge. Congratulations.
The smooth talker gets a star badge.
Apigenin Man.
