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. - It's good to see you.
Every Monday night,
they destroy the determination of those who are on a diet.
(Hurrah for cooking champions)
Here is the legion of eight chefs.
Hello.
- They're amazing. - Yes.
Today,
we have two immature husbands who irritate their wives...
- as guests. - What? Who could it be?
One of them irritates his wife...
and Jung Hwan as well.
Is Hur Jae back?
(Is he a member of "Gather and Kick"?)
We will introduce our guests now!
Please enter.
(Here come the guests.)
Today's guests...
- are the two immature husbands, - Welcome.
Lee Bong Won and Lee Man Ki.
- Welcome. Come on in. - Goodness.
- It's nice to meet you. - Hello.
- Sit here. - Okay.
This is your seat.
(He wants the emcee's seat.)
I didn't know where to sit.
Let me introduce the guest on my right.
"Goodness, Mr. Lee!"
"Goodness, Mr. Kim!"
- "Nice to meet you" - "Nice to meet you"
(Dancing)
That's such an old greeting.
People who still remember this...
are a bit old.
That was something I did in 1986.
He's right.
This saying that was created by Lee Bong Won...
was a popular phrase in "Reply 1988".
He led the comedy industry in the 80s and the 90s.
However, through countless failed businesses,
he angered his wife, Park Mi Sun.
The epitome of an immature husband, Lee Bong Won.
- Welcome. - It's nice to meet you all.
Please greet our viewers.
Hello, it's nice to meet you.
They said I am the epitome...
- The epitome. - of an immature husband.
But I'll prove today that that is not true.
I'm Lee Bong Won.
- You're not immature? - No.
This is a senior of mine whom I respect very much.
A ten-time wrestling champion.
In total, he's won 49 matches.
- He's the legend of wrestling. - Right.
But these days, he is wrestling with his wife all year round.
He's known as Angry Man Ki of "Gather and Kick".
It's Lee Man Ki.
- Angry Man Ki! - Hello.
- Please say hello. - Okay.
I am hot-tempered.
That's why I frown often.
But I am a warm-hearted person inside.
It's nice to meet you.
Are you claiming that you're not immature?
If I still haven't matured, I'm not a human being.
Right.
- Goodness. - It seems like both of you...
- aren't happy about your titles. - You're right.
We'll reveal later on why we think you're immature.
- Are you two related? - Yes.
We're both Lees from Hapcheon.
We're the same age.
But he is higher up in the family tree.
He's the same generation as my father.
You're like his uncle.
I'm an uncle, and he's my nephew.
- I'm his nephew. - I see.
- You'd better behave well. - Yes, sir.
(He warns his nephew.)
When I run into his wife,
I don't call her by her first name. I always mind my manners...
and say, "Hello, ma'am."
I see.
- So Man Ki is lower in degree. - Yes.
Goodness.
Starting with Hur Jae from last week,
the members of "Gather and Kick" are on a roll these days.
The same goes for Jae. The reason you all agreed...
to appear on our show so willingly was because of Jung Hwan, right?
- That's true. - You want to get on his good side.
Of course. That's a given.
I see. Is it a given?
I do as I'm told.
- What? - I do.
There's something Coach Ahn needs to know.
- What is it? - During the pre-interview,
Man Ki said, "From the way I see it,"
"Jung Hwan isn't that great of a coach."
(Anxious)
- Wait. - Why did you say that?
Why?
Am I insane? Why would I say something like that?
Should we replay the recording?
- "Recording"? - Do you have it?
- Is there a recording? - No.
- Did you really say that? - No.
"I've tried coaching as well, but it's not that easy."
"But in any case, my students have become wrestling champions."
"But Jung Hwan hasn't won a single match yet."
(He's at a loss for words.)
- "There's nothing more to say." - Hold on.
- You wrote down everything I said? - "There's nothing more to say."
(Angry Man Ki awakens.)
- You were being mean. - Should I replay the recording?
- What? - Should I?
No, don't.
(Panicking)
It's about time I changed the captain.
- No. - Why not?
Please explain this.
What happened?
I drank a bit that day.
He drank a bit.
(All I have is love for you, Coach Ahn.)
Then how is Jung Hwan as a coach?
He's the best there is.
- Is he truly the best? - Yes.
I bet after "Gather and Kick" finishes,
he will be scouted in Europe.
But you see, when we lose by more than ten goals,
I can't help but get mad.
Since our team hasn't been practicing for long,
I don't mind losing.
The problem is the players.
One of them is always begging to go drinking afterward.
(We should go for some drinks.)
- Another one is always angry. - Right.
(Furious)
- It's problematic. - You're right.
He's the captain, after all.
We'll talk more about your show next week.
He is the icon of challenges and has the minus touch.
He is Lee Bong Won.
- It's not the Midas touch? - No, it's the minus touch.
He also had a pre-interview.
He'd do things without his wife's knowledge,
and Mi Sun would only find out a day before.
You said a lot of things like this.
Do you all tell your wives beforehand?
- Not every little detail... - Right.
- But we tell them important things. - Right.
But still, you should've told her about this.
Let's see the photo.
- What is that? - Could you explain this photo?
This is something I plan to do.
Sleeping in a tent on a cliff?
It's on my bucket list.
Yosemite National Park is like a shrine for rock climbers.
My goodness.
While climbing, you need to make a tent and sleep there.
What if your hook comes loose?
It won't.
But why do you want to do that?
I'm curious too.
I want to do things that other people haven't done.
About two years ago,
- I was filming something. - You ran into me, right?
There, I saw him rock climbing.
- I was climbing an ice wall. - Right.
(Bong Won was wandering around the area.)
(They cast him on the spot as an ice wall climber.)
(Summer: Rock climbing, Winter: Ice wall climbing)
(He doesn't appear on TV that much anymore,)
(so he's diverted his interest toward something else.)
I was there to climb when they were filming.
He climbed up there so quickly.
I heard it's very difficult to do that.
- So this isn't just an idea. - No.
I'm planning to go in a few years.
Oh, my. When are you planning to tell your wife?
I'll book the plane ticket first...
and tell her a day or two before flying out.
- Goodness. - I'll tell her then.
Will she let you?
There was a time back when...
I went to the Himalayas.
I told her about it two days before going.
Have you gone crazy?
- Isn't this ridiculous? - Yes.
I also want to go skydiving.
I don't want to do it with someone else's help.
- I want to learn it and jump alone. - "Alone"?
Yes. That's real skydiving.
- I should do it alone. - You want to jump alone?
If not, the guide will be doing everything for me.
- I get the thrill you'd be feeling. - Right.
- But your wife... - She'll be worried.
- will be very worried about you. - When I first told her...
that I'd be going to the Himalayas, she was against it.
But when I told her that I took out several insurances,
she was fine with it.
(She gave him permission to go.)
I feel like she'd scold you quite often.
- She's doesn't get angry often. - Oh, my.
- Perhaps, she's given up? - Did she give up on you?
That's it. She gave up.
- She's neglected you. - No, that's not it.
- What do you mean, "neglected"? - I'm sorry.
Ho Young looks quite jealous.
- You're married, right? - He's the exact opposite of me.
- He's pretty much tied down. - Does his wife have control?
- He's tied down. - Really?
There's a rope on his waist, and he's tied to the kitchen.
He can only roam around freely there.
But this is true about anything.
It's only difficult at first.
- What? - You need to overcome that.
Why are you saying that as if it's a wise saying?
I bet the viewers are criticizing you for saying that.
(If other husbands do this, their wives will be furious.)
(Giggling)
Man Ki, what are your hobbies? Do you do things like this?
- It's been ten years. - Ten years?
Yes. I'm into making wooden handicrafts.
- "Wooden"? - Yes.
There it is. Did you make that?
- Yes. - My goodness.
Don't they sell those at service areas?
Look here!
I think they sell those.
- I think I've seen those. - Me too.
I'm pretty sure I've seen them there.
- I heard you sell them too. - I do.
- What was the highest price? - It was 5,000 dollars.
Wow, 5,000 dollars?
- That's incredible. - I didn't know they were so pricey.
I've set up a gallery in my house in Gimhae.
- Do you have a gallery? - It's pretty big.
Yes, I made a gallery and all my crafts are in there.
The reason I began that was because...
I believe that as you get older,
communicating and meeting other people are the last forms of art.
It helps me greatly in practicing asceticism.
- "Asceticism"? - Yes.
Then why are you so hot-tempered?
(Why is he so hot-tempered?)
- This is the result of it. - Is that so?
So this is him after practicing asceticism?
- Yes, that's right. - He has become gentler.
I used to only wrestle back in the day.
- You always flipped people around? - Right.
- Bong Won is more suited to this. - He is.
But he's more interested in skydiving...
- and rock climbing. - He rock-climbs.
(It's incredible.)
They completely relieve me of my stress.
- "Completely"? - Yes, completely.
I don't think of anything else.
How could you get stressed when you do whatever you want?
I don't think you're stressed to begin with.
- That was hilarious. - Right.
- He spoke the truth. - Hold on.
Are you Mi Sun's older brother?
(He's her older brother.)
Are you Mi Sun's older brother?
We're close.
(Bong Won, you'd better behave.)
He does get stressed.
- Let me explain. - Really?
They say, "Singers end up like their song titles,"
"and comedians end up like their catchphrases."
There is a famous catchphrase of his.
I'm doomed, I'm doomed
- I'm doomed, I'm doomed - I'm doomed, I'm doomed
After creating this catchphrase,
how many types of businesses did you run?
About 5 to 6.
- About 5 to 6. - About 5 to 6.
- I see. - The first business I ran...
was a coffee shop in a department store.
- Goodness. - Really?
It's not easy to get a spot in a department store.
But that department store...
didn't have a lot of customers.
I did that coffee business there for about a year.
You ran that business for a year, but it didn't turn out well.
- What's next? - The next one...
was also in a department store.
- Another one? - Goodness.
It was going to be a newly-built department store this time.
I checked to see what wasn't in that department store.
The only business I could run was a samgyetang place.
I can't even eat chicken.
You don't like chicken.
But I still invested.
- I see. - As time went by,
I had to keep paying more for the intermediate payment.
But that company went bankrupt.
My goodness.
My gosh, I remember.
So the samgyetang place was gone even before I could even start it.
- What else? - The next one...
- A production company. - was a production business.
Kim Gu Ra signed a contract with my company.
(Kim Gu Ra belonged to Bong Won's agency.)
I think I've heard about this.
I know this story too.
- Right. - That was in 2002.
He wasn't that popular back then.
He really had nothing.
He only worked on some internet shows.
After I invested for about a year or two,
- Did you let go of him? - I let him go.
- You let him fly away. - Right.
I let him fly away.
But Gu Ra started to get popular after he left.
Maybe you were the one who prevented him from doing well.
- You ran a barbecue place too? - Yes.
None of my businesses went well.
So my wife said that she would run the business.
It did well for about six months.
People lined up to get in.
But it started to lose customers after a year and a half.
You ran the restaurant with your wife, but it still didn't last.
This is all a process.
If you don't start anything because you are scared of losing money,
then you will never earn more money.
But your businesses didn't go well.
It could have gone well.
Yeon Bok.
It's as if Yeon Bok is Mi Sun's older brother.
Are you Mi Sun's brother?
My goodness.
Then Bong Won started something that would make Mi Sun angry again.
You opened a Chinese restaurant.
- Yes. - Right.
Did you ask your wife's permission?
I told her about it two to three days before the restaurant opened.
After you signed everything.
I told her, "I'm going to run a restaurant in Cheonan."
"So I'll be staying in Cheonan."
- In Cheonan? - Cheonan?
In Cheonan?
One of my friends told me that there was a good spot there.
Your friend said that.
I've been running it for a year. I got a certificate in Chinese food.
You got a certificate in Chinese cuisine.
I got a certificate in Korean cuisine a year ago too.
The business did really well at first.
(Will it be successful this time?)
I sell a bowl of jjamppong that costs about seven dollars.
On some days, I made a daily profit of around 4,500 dollars.
I've been running it for a year, but I shut it down for two months.
- What? - Really?
- Already? - I had some back problems.
I had to cook for 12 hours a day, standing in the kitchen.
- So I couldn't walk. - It's not an easy job.
I had to shut it down for two months because I had to get back surgery.
Now it has been open again for two months.
But it's not doing well like before.
- You lost your regulars. - So I want to ask these chefs.
Is there any way...
to make the customers visit my restaurant again?
- I want to ask them. - Right.
You want to get their advice.
For Chinese restaurants, you should have a signature menu.
That signature menu should be the one that attracts customers.
It's okay to set the ratio of sales cost to 60 to 70 percent for this.
Customers can have that...
and order extra dishes on the side.
They will come for miles just to try that menu.
I need to discuss this personally with my brother-in-law.
(We hope your business does well this time.)
Well. Let me see.
He has done many things too.
Come on.
You're bringing that up again.
He was a well-known professor.
Then he joined politics.
- Yes, that's right. - I know this.
- Really? - Are you from Party A of Gimhae?
Or from Party B of Gimhae?
It wasn't just once. He went for it for twice.
- It's hot in here. - Do you have...
a desire for power?
Of course, he has. That's why he joined politics.
It's like an addiction. It's called "politic-holic".
My goodness.
- That's right. He's addicted. - It's an addiction.
Why did you keep trying?
When I quit my job as a professor,
I thought daily sports should be available to everyone.
(Man Ki is sharing his pledges.)
(Falling for Man Ki's speech)
I wanted something new.
He wants to go for the next election.
No, I'm not interested.
He suddenly gave us a speech.
I almost voted for him.
He started giving this speech!
I fell for his speech.
- He is ambitious. - He'll join the election next year.
I fell for his speech too.
I know why he's going to continue his career in politics.
His hand and feet started to shake when I tried to change the captain.
He's still a politician.
He's ambitious!
He wants to have power.
When we played soccer,
someone forgot to give him the armband for the captain.
He shouted, "Bring my armband!"
"Bring my armband!"
He likes wearing armbands.
Yes, he does.
Goodness. Some said that Man Ki joining "Gather and Kick"...
is a set-up for his next election.
I swear that I'm not doing politics again.
But you have to go for three rounds.
I don't need three rounds.
You'll win the third round.
His eyes just changed.
Look at his eyes.
- You can't fall for this. - His eyes just shook.
I'll go bankrupt if I run for another election.
I'll really go bankrupt.
I realized...
that I don't belong in that field.
I just went for it while I was still young.
I can't do it anymore because I don't have the energy.
- Right. - All right.
Let's see what's inside Bong Won's fridge first.
We'll now see what's inside Bong Won's fridge.
But the fridge at the back looks...
- Does Bong Won use it by himself? - Doesn't it look too small?
It's a bit small.
I'm staying in Cheonan right now.
Only I use that fridge.
So do you meet up with your family every weekend?
Yes, I come to Seoul every week.
My wife and my daughter live...
with my parents in Seoul.
My son's in the army.
Your wife has no idea...
that you're on this show, does she?
She'll know when she watches this on TV.
(Honey, why are you on TV?)
That's so mean.
But you should tell her.
Does she make side dishes for you?
I make my own side dishes.
You make your own?
Of course. I told you.
I have a certificate in Korean cuisine.
That's right.
I can make simple dishes.
(Jealous)
So he works in the restaurant business.
- He has a certificate. - He got a certificate.
What can be inside his fridge when he lives alone?
Let's take a look inside Bong Won's fridge!
(Bong Won's fridge will be revealed.)
Let's take a look.
Goodness.
Oh, my goodness.
(Well...)
I sort of expected this.
I'm sorry, but you didn't work on a skit with this fridge. Did you?
That's more than enough for a man who lives alone.
It looks like a prop for a skit.
- So this is the fridge you use. - Of course.
Let's take a look inside the fridge.
There's a box on the first shelf.
- It must be some herbal medicine. - I suppose.
- Gongjindan. - It's gongjindan.
There aren't that many, are there?
- No. - My daughter got me those.
- Goodness. - But why haven't you had them yet?
I'm trying to save it for later.
She bought it for her dad because he lives alone.
Does your little girl worry about you a lot?
- She does, sometimes. - I see.
She brought this for him because she cares about him.
My family cares about each other even though we don't express it.
- She's worried. - I see.
- He kept it on the first shelf. - Right.
- There's cheonggukjang next to it. - I love cheonggukjang.
I bought that.
I got soybean paste from home.
You got this from home, but bought the cheonggukjang.
What is this?
Those are for the soybean paste stew.
Did you prepare this?
No, they sell them like that these days.
They sell chopped vegetables...
like onions and potatoes.
He works in his restaurant all day.
It must be tiring to cook at home. The chefs can relate to this, right?
It depends.
Raymon still cooks at home for his daughter.
He said he has to cook every day.
I make one meal a day.
- One meal a day. - Amazing.
- That's really amazing. - Of course.
- How about you, Ho Young? - I pack food from my restaurant.
- You pack your food? - From your restaurant?
He packs his food from his restaurant.
You don't talk a lot at home either.
No way. I don't do this at home.
- I just stay still. - I don't play soccer at home.
Right.
It would be funny if he plays soccer at home.
- This looks like a side dish. - Yes.
- I made that. - You made this?
Well, let's see. What can it be?
- Is it salted clams? - He made it?
I like salted clams.
I buy raw clams.
- It's good with rice. - It's so good with rice.
Did you season it yourself?
Of course. It's quite simple.
- Can we try this? - Yes, go ahead.
- Can we? - Yes. Have it with hot rice.
It's fantastic with hot rice.
He made salted clams himself.
He made this?
Isn't it salty?
The chefs must feel pressured.
- Goodness. - He has a cooking certificate.
I'm still an amateur.
You are a newbie.
- It's good. - It's like I'm in an incubator.
- You are still a newbie. - I can't judge these chefs.
- Right. - It's not salty.
It's quite sweet too.
I added green plum marmalade.
It's sweet and sour.
- It's not salty at all. - Right.
You did well with the saltiness.
I washed it off.
It's very well-made.
Salted clams are usually very salty.
So you make yourself hearty meals at home.
I don't just have rice with kimchi.
I try to have 4 side dishes that don't exceed 800 calories.
Right, 4 side dishes that don't exceed 800 calories.
That's a pretty decent meal.
He cares about what he eats.
I have my meals like that because I'm alone.
When I stay with my wife,
I always ask my wife to make soup for me.
I must have at least three types of kimchi.
Goodness. He's such a picky guy.
You don't even give her money, but you demand so much food.
(Straightforward)
He's on Mi Sun's side.
Are you her brother?
(All husbands are tense.)
All right. I'm her older brother.
Have you ever made anything for your wife?
I used to make tangsuyuk...
when I stayed with my kids.
- Goodness. - You made tangsuyuk?
It's quite easy to make.
It's easy to make tangsuyuk.
I can make stir-fried anchovies with gochujang.
They keep in the fridge for a long time.
Bong Won's a good cook himself.
Gosh, there's a pot here.
- That's the soybean paste stew. - This is the stew.
I made that.
Bong Won made this soybean paste stew.
I made it with the soybean paste from home.
The color is a bit dark.
The taste isn't bad.
- It isn't bad? - It's because...
I use natural seasoning when I make soybean paste stew.
I use natural seasoning. Look over there.
Is this it?
It's a mix of anchovies, kelp,
and dried shrimp powder.
I've used that powder before too.
I'm also good at making soybean paste stew.
But when you add that, it becomes thick and it tastes bad.
(Laughing)
You should boil anchovies to make the broth.
- Anchovies? - Yes, to make the broth.
You should make the broth with them.
That soybean paste stew won't taste good.
To not make it thick...
Listen. To not make it thick,
keep the powder in a net...
That still won't work.
Is the stew quite salty then?
It's slightly salty.
I like salty and spicy food.
I don't like bland food.
Do you eat like this...
- That's right. - except on the weekends?
Is that beer down there?
Yes, this is the freezer. There's beer.
He likes to drink.
- I do. - Is this beer as well?
- No. - What is it?
I drink it the next day after drinking beer.
It's a medicine that I made.
- A "medicine"? - It's Oriental raisin tree tea.
- Oriental raisin tree? - Oriental raisin tree?
It's made from more than just Oriental raisin tree.
Most people only use Oriental raisin tree,
but East Asian stripe maple tree is better than Oriental raisin tree.
- "Striped maple tree"? - Striped maple, Oriental raisin.
- There's also licorice. - Licorice.
- And dates. - Dates.
I boil them together.
That's how I make it.
When you drink it, you can say goodbye to feeling drunk.
- Hangover? - Goodbye to hangovers.
Then you can drink again the next night.
Is this milk?
Milk is...
- Cereal? - for cereal.
- I eat it in the morning. - In the morning?
- Cereal. - It's cereal.
- It's an American-style breakfast. - Yes.
You make sure to eat breakfast.
Of course. I eat a western-style breakfast when I'm in a hurry.
When I have time, I cook.
It's because he has to leave quickly.
- There are some eggs. - Yes.
That's it for the shelves.
- There's nothing else. - That's it on the shelves.
- It's an ice wall. - Yes.
Do you want to climb up the ice wall?
- We can even climb up. - You can.
If I get tired on my way up, I can set up a tent about here.
That's right.
- It's to reach the top. - To reach the top.
You're looking inside the fridge of...
- a rock climber, Lee Bong Won. - "A rock climber"?
There's also soy milk.
You have a box of it.
I can't eat chicken.
It's a substitute for protein.
- With beans? - Yes.
- It's meat from the fields. - That's correct.
In the fresh food drawer,
there are eggplants and cucumbers.
- Those are... - Chilies and lettuce.
We grew those vegetables ourselves.
There's a vegetable garden in front of our house.
My parents grew those vegetables.
They're chemical-free.
Shall we take a look at the vegetable garden?
(Lee Bong Won's vegetable garden)
Is it...
It's huge.
- It's a farm. - Is this a vegetable garden?
- Yes. - It's more like a farm.
- It's not just a garden. - It's 1,322m².
It's about 1,322m².
- How is that a garden? - It's 1,322m²?
- That's almost like farming. - Right.
There are chilies, cucumbers, and zucchinis. They plant a lot.
The produce can be brought...
to Cheonan.
That's why I take Cheongyang red peppers.
To make jjamppong?
Yes, I take them to make jjamppong.
Don't you think it's better to open a jjamppong restaurant there?
- That sounds good. - Shall I cook with fresh produce?
- A jjamppong restaurant in Ilsan. - Right.
He can cook with the vegetables.
The vegetables look great. They're fresh.
- They're fresh indeed. - They're great.
Inside the freezer, there's some picnic ham. It's pork.
I also like kimchi stew.
- Kimchi stew. I see. - Pork is an essential ingredient...
for kimchi stew.
The broth is different.
It's seafood.
- I like squid. - It's squid.
I like squid soup with radish.
- It's refreshing. - He prefers seafood.
We took a look inside Lee Bong Won's fridge.
(We've finished taking a look inside his fridge.)
- There's not much. - Yes.
After taking a look inside your fridge,
we have a few questions.
We may need to talk to a third person.
Park Mi Sun probably has something to say.
- We don't talk a lot. - I see.
- How about on the phone? - Not on the phone either.
She does know that you live in Cheonan, right?
I think she does.
This is what she always calls me.
A man whom she liked once.
(They just laugh.)
And this is what I call her.
A junior colleague I loved once.
(Mi Sun is a junior colleague he loved once.)
(Their nicknames are an indication of their long relationship.)
Shall we call Park Mi Sun on the phone?
- I don't call her often. - I see.
(Excited)
(Calling)
He's calling her.
- Hello? - Hello?
- Yes? - Hold on a minute.
(He passes the phone.)
- Hello? - Wait.
Why are you passing it to me like this?
- I finished talking to her. - You should talk.
- Mi Sun. - Who is this?
This is Seong Ju.
- Seong Ju? - Yes.
- It's been a while, Seong Ju. - Yes.
I somehow ended up calling you on Bong Won's phone.
He's on our show right now.
Which show?
On Chef and My Fridge.
He doesn't have any food in his fridge. Why is he on the show?
What do you mean?
Why is he on that show?
Is the fridge in your Ilsan house at home?
- Yes, our fridge is here. - Right?
There's food in this one, but there's nothing in his fridge.
(Upset)
Did he come on the show without discussing it with you?
Why would he discuss it with me when he's an adult?
- Of course. I'm not a child. - We do things on our own.
On your own? Okay.
It looked like he was taking some soybean paste from home yesterday.
Was it for that show?
(He feels guilty.)
(Darn it)
He took the soybean paste...
- from home. - He brought it yesterday.
He also picked some lettuce and some cucumbers.
I thought it was a thief, but it was him.
(Rolling on the floor laughing)
- I didn't tell her. - Did you steal them?
Did you just pick the vegetables?
- I didn't tell her. - Without telling her?
They belong to us. To whom do I have to talk?
Why do they belong to you?
They belong to us.
My mother-in-law grows them,
and she said a lot was missing.
What are you talking about?
- You should have told them. - That's right.
Did you know that he opened a Chinese restaurant in Cheonan?
I heard rumors about it, yes.
(She heard it through rumors.)
She dropped by once.
I went there once.
- Really? Did you taste the food? - Yes.
I tasted the food.
Do you think that he cooks well?
(What did Mi Sun think?)
Am I allowed to give my honest opinion?
(Laughing)
Your husband is living away from home.
- Yes. - He comes home on weekends.
He does come home every weekend,
but I wonder if it should be just once a month.
I think every weekend is too much.
- Every weekend is often. - He comes home too often.
- Who's the other guest? - For this episode?
He came with his relative.
- He's my nephew. - Who?
Mi Sun, it's me, your nephew.
- It's Mr. Man Ki. - Yes.
(She's brightened up.)
- Are you two the guests today? - Yes.
Could we check a few things with you?
- While we looked inside his fridge, - Yes.
he said that he was a better cook than you.
He is a better cook.
(It's true.)
- I don't lie. - I see.
I heard that you enjoyed his tangsuyuk.
It wasn't tangsuyuk. One of the dishes I tried...
was deep-fried fish.
That was delicious.
- Fried sole? - Fried sole?
His braised short ribs were good.
- And also his fried rice. - "Fried rice"?
Yes, his kimchi fried rice is delicious.
We could open a kimchi fried rice restaurant later.
- Don't. - Kimchi fried rice...
Just focus on the things you're doing now.
Please stop him, Mr. Man Ki.
(She asks for help.)
I told him not to do it.
Just pin him down.
(She asks him to stop him if he tries to start a new business.)
"Pin him down"?
Thank you for your time.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - Goodbye.
(Thank you to Park Mi Sun for the pleasant phone call.)
I wonder...
which dishes Lee Bong Won wants to eat...
with the food in his fridge.
Please show us what he wants to eat.
Lee Bong Won wants to try "Nice to Meet You, New Chinese Dish".
I own a Chinese restaurant now,
but I also love Chinese food. We have many chefs here.
I'd like to try Chinese food that I've never had before.
(Please make special Chinese food that can only be seen on this show.)
I bet they'll make something great.
I'm worried about that fridge.
- Why? - There aren't enough ingredients.
You are all talented enough.
(He fully trusts them.)
Chef.
(Blushing)
Chef.
(Why do the chefs feel embarrassed?)
- Next is "Spicy Once Again". - What is that?
I don't mean the Korean spicy flavor.
I mean spicy flavors from all over the world.
- Internationally spicy flavors? - What kind of flavors are there?
How is that possible with that fridge?
Chefs create something from nothing.
There needs to be at least something to work with.
Go and borrow some.
Those who get Lee Bong Won's fridge, brace yourselves.
Chefs.
- The standards got too high. - Which chefs will it be?
I will announce the chefs who will be cooking
using the ingredients inside Lee Bong Won's fridge.
Who will be competing?
Sam Kim.
(Everyone congratulates him.)
Next is Oh Se Deuk.
(Flustered)
Next is Kim Poong.
(Depressed)
They're a good fit.
Lastly, it's Song Hoon.
(Surprised)
(The owner of the fridge is happy.)
It'll be an extreme task for the four chefs.
The first cook-off is Chef Hoon versus Chef Poong.
(Nice to Meet You, New Chinese Dish)
Here's the first cook-off with Lee Bong Won's fridge.
It's our long-term member Mr. Poong from Sangsu-dong versus...
Mr. Song from New York and Hannam-dong.
"Nice to Meet You, New Chinese Dish".
Can the two of you do it as well?
I was actually a huge fan of comic catchphrases.
My mom scolded me because I said it so much at home.
You'll get points if you do it well.
Goodness, Mr. Song!
Goodness, Mr. Poong!
They're good.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
I see.
They won't get any points.
(He is joking.)
That's his real voice, but he puts on a deep voice for the show.
- He deepens his voice. - No, that's not true.
You can hear his real voice in the waiting room.
"Hello!"
- Is that not his real voice? - It's higher.
My philosophy is to do my best at every moment.
He's put on a deep voice again.
He's a chameleon chef.
You will compete with each other for the second time this season.
Last time, Chef Poong said...
that he'll pull Chef Hoon into the gutter.
You said that before the match,
but you ended up walking into the gutter by yourself.
Poong lost six consecutive times.
- That's right. - Really?
You lost 6 consecutive times in 2017.
Is this a fight against myself?
Yes, it is.
Records are meant to be broken.
On the other hand, Hoon is doing splendidly.
Hoon won two consecutive times.
Here's what's even more interesting.
Hoon had 4 wins and 2 losses...
while Poong had 5 wins and 9 losses.
There is only a difference of one star.
Poong was in 14 matches...
- and Hoon was in 6 matches. - That's right, 6 matches.
He is an incredible chef. I have so much respect for him.
That means he practically won every time.
- Yes. - He has a high winning rate.
For today, I set my teeth...
and sharpened my knife all night long.
Isn't that the knife you had tossed aside?
What are you talking about?
He came back to his senses.
I will have my revenge.
(Look forward to the revenge match.)
- It's a revenge match. - It's a revenge match.
(Hoon chose picnic ham, squid, eggplants, zucchinis, onions,)
(king oyster mushrooms, pickled cucumbers, salted clams,)
(artificial flavor for the soup, Spam, and instant pollack soup.)
(Poong chose picnic ham, lettuce, pickled cucumbers, potatoes,)
(eggplants, kalguksu ramyeon, shrimp-flavored ramyeon,)
(Spam, and instant seaweed soup.)
Hoon, what kind of dish will you make?
It's a dish that contains my name. It's "Hoon's Chinese Restaurant".
- "Hoon's Chinese Restaurant". - "Hoon's Chinese Restaurant".
- It's a Chinese restaurant. - "Hoon's Chinese Restaurant".
I will make a Cantonese-style dish,
the Cantonese-style eggplant clay pot.
Clay pot involves food...
that sizzles in a warmed pot.
I will stir-fry eggplants...
and fry other ingredients...
to make something like a rice bowl.
- It's like an earthen pot dish. - That's right.
I will use the pickled cucumbers...
to make something like...
- zha cai. - You will use pickled cucumbers.
The taste is similar.
His dish sounds impressive.
- He is good at explaining. - It was a nice explanation.
Poong is going against him. What kind of dish will you make?
The name of the dish I will make is...
"Poong's Chinese Cuisine".
- "Poong's Chinese Cuisine". - Yes.
It's a Chinese restaurant versus Chinese cuisine.
I will make two things.
The first one involves...
- cucumbers. - Cucumbers.
I will make a rice dish with a topping...
of stir-fried pork and pickled cucumbers.
The other one is the Chinese stir-fried potatoes.
You can think of them as Chinese fries.
I will stir-fry potatoes with the seasoning.
Although it doesn't use many ingredients,
it will be new and tasty.
Will he be able to make 2 dishes in 15 minutes?
I am worried too. He only has 15 minutes.
As for the potato dish he talked about,
the potatoes need to be stir-fried until there is no moisture.
I don't think he will have enough time.
His teacher is worried.
It will be a fight against time.
They will compete for the second time in this season.
He won't lose seven times in a row.
Poong of Sangsu-dong...
and Hoon of Hannam-dong will compete.
Who will win with the new Chinese dish?
We will now start the 15-minute cook-off!
- Good luck! - Good luck!
- Hoon took out squid. - The squid.
- Is he scoring it? - He is scoring it.
Why is he doing it both vertically and horizontally?
Then squid will bloom like a flower.
It also tenderizes the squid.
- It absorbs more sauce. - That's right.
Wouldn't it be better to slice it?
No.
- Scoring will make it roll up. - See?
- I see. - It rolls up.
(Put the blanched squid in cold water.)
All right. Poong is...
It must take a lot of time to slice the potatoes.
He needs to slice them as thinly as possible.
He needs to julienne the potatoes.
- The knife is sharp. - Really?
We haven't seen his knife skills in a long time.
His hands move very fast.
His knife skills improved a lot.
I heard he sharpened the knife for the first time...
after he received it from Yeon Bok.
That's right.
You guys are the worst.
(They pick on Poong whenever they get the chance.)
- He is fast. - That's right.
He needs to work fast.
(Slice green onions and Cheongyang red peppers.)
(Microwave the sliced vegetables, chili pepper powder, and oil...)
(to make chili oil.)
They must have thought-out plans in their heads.
That's right.
- The plans are in their heads. - That's right.
(Sieve the julienned potatoes and remove the moisture.)
I need to remove the moisture.
- Poong is frying... - My goodness.
- My goodness. - It's overflowing.
(The oil overflows as soon as he adds the potatoes.)
It looks like it was too wet.
If it's too wet...
It looks like Poong wasn't expecting that.
- I should have blotted it more. - That's right.
Since he rinsed the starch in water...
and blotted it before frying, it will be crispier.
Poong has taken out the meat.
Don't be nervous. Work slowly.
(Mince the picnic ham.)
Is that the picnic ham?
Yes. It's the only meat there is.
- That's right. - It's the only meat there is.
Is Hoon using the picnic ham as well?
- Yes. - The right leg and the left leg.
- The right leg and the left leg. - The right leg and the left leg.
(Mix the meat with egg yolk, garlic, ginger, starch, and salt.)
(Mixing)
(What is Hoon putting...)
(in the hot water?)
Are those bean sprouts?
- Bean sprouts. - There were bean sprouts.
Hoon has taken out the eggplant.
It's from his garden in Ilsan.
Eggplants are used very often in Chinese cuisine.
- That's right. - The simplest form of that dish...
would involve slicing and frying eggplants,
stir-frying pork, adding sauce, and boiling it in the clay pot...
so that the soup thickens.
It's a popular dish.
(Put the garlic through the blender.)
(Add king oyster mushrooms, zucchinis, and green onions.)
Those are big pieces of green onions.
Will he stir-fry them and put them into an earthen pot?
It seems that way.
(What did he take out of the microwave?)
What is that?
He made chili oil in the microwave.
When did he make that?
(Stir-fry the vegetables with chili oil and salted clams.)
(What is this?)
Hoon put some salted clams into the stir-fry.
Salted clams.
- It will be tasty. - It will add flavors.
I know.
Will he discard the soup?
I will use the soup.
- It's refreshing. - I see.
- He doesn't waste anything. - He will use the soup.
They need to finish in time.
I can only make ramyeon in that time.
I know.
But the chefs need to finish in time.
(Score an eggplant and steam it in a steamer.)
Poong is working on an eggplant as well.
- Will you steam it? - Yes, I will.
He scored it.
They cook eggplants in all sorts of ways.
(Slicing green onions)
He is making a fragrant oil with green onions and garlic.
He added Cheongyang red peppers for extra spice.
Cheongyang red peppers.
(Add rinsed pickled cucumbers, mashed Spam, and cooking wine.)
Poong is adding Spam and pickled cucumber to stir-fried meat.
Spam.
- It will be new. - If it contains Spam,
a good taste is almost guaranteed.
It's a taste that we are used to.
Poong is an expert when it comes to Spam.
- It contains MSG. - Yes.
(Add instant seaweed soup.)
(Stir-frying)
(He uses the artificial flavor for the soup.)
(Mix the artificial flavor, flour, and water for the frying batter.)
I think he will fry that eggplant.
Is that a cucumber?
It's a zucchini.
It's clearly a zucchini, isn't it?
I thought it was a cucumber.
Hoon is using Spam as well.
- Really? - He is using Spam as well.
Yes.
I have no choice since the ingredients are limited.
Their cooking methods differ, but the ingredients are the same.
The ingredients are the same.
The names of the dishes differ.
That's right.
(Add the julienned onion to the mixture and fry in oil.)
(Coating in the batter)
He will fry them now.
Fried zucchini is tasty.
He is frying the ingredients separately.
It looks like a Korean dish.
(Hoon's dish looks like a Korean dish.)
(Poong is busy as well.)
(Stir-fry garlic, ginger, and red chili pepper with oil.)
Those are spicy chili peppers.
It looks like Poong's dish will be very spicy.
These red chili peppers aren't spicy.
- Red chili peppers. - Red chili peppers.
The fried potatoes are out.
He made them crispy.
- Did the moisture evaporate? - It looks like it.
It looks delicious.
What is he adding?
It's the seasoning from the kalguksu ramyeon.
(Add the seasoning from the kalguksu ramyeon.)
Will it go well with the potatoes?
I think it will.
What is that?
Shrimp-flavored ramyeon.
- He is mixing them. - That's from the cup noodles.
He is mixing the two kinds of seasoning.
(Add chili pepper powder to the pork and cucumber stir-fry.)
- Seong Ju. - Yes?
Please go out onto the field.
Shall I do that?
- Is it time already? - This is suspenseful.
- I know. - Seriously.
See if they are doing a good job.
This will go into an earthen pot.
It contains salted clams.
- Yes. - It looks tasty.
I will taste the soup.
(Tasting)
Will he be able to open Song's Chinese Restaurant?
(Will he be able to open Song's Chinese Restaurant?)
It hasn't been put together very well.
The ingredients haven't mixed well yet.
No, they haven't.
The ingredients haven't mixed well yet.
Hoon becomes serious.
(Add starch water, green onions, and sliced red chili peppers.)
(Add oil and salt to boiling water and blanch the lettuce.)
I added a bit of oil.
- To where? - To the water.
- You added oil to the water. - Yes. It adds a gloss...
and makes the flavor nutty.
It adds a gloss.
(Add sliced Cheongyang red peppers to the potatoes.)
I will try a bit of this potato dish.
(How does the dish taste?)
How does it taste?
Wow.
- It's tasty. - Is it tasty?
It contains a lot of seasoning.
It contains a lot of seasoning. It's really tasty.
- That's 2 packets of seasoning. - That's 2 packets of seasoning.
I like it.
It looks delicious as it is.
It would be the perfect snack to have with some alcohol.
- It's the perfect beer snack. - You are right. It is.
About a minute and 18 seconds remain.
(Coat the lettuce with the frying batter and fry in oil.)
He is frying the lettuce.
- What is he frying? - He is frying the lettuce.
Poong blanched the lettuce,
but he is frying it.
(Rinse the pickled cucumber.)
(Add onions, chili oil, artificial flavor, and pepper and mix them.)
(Top it with salted clams and green onions to make zha cai.)
- He took it out quickly. - He did.
There are 35 seconds left.
(Put the ingredients into a heated pot and top it with boiled squid.)
He put it into an earthen pot.
(Put the ingredients into a heated pot and top it with boiled squid.)
- He put the lid on it. - He poured it into that.
There is not much time left.
(Put the ingredients into a heated pot and top it with boiled squid.)
(Microwave the instant rice.)
(Add sugar and vinegar to the stir-fried pork and cucumbers.)
Take out the eggplant.
- Hurry up. - The eggplant.
Now, 15 seconds left. He's putting the blanched lettuce on the bottom.
- Now, 10 seconds left. 9, 8... - Yes. 9, 8...
(They get nervous too.)
- And 6... Gosh, that looks hot. - He's taking out the eggplant.
- And 4, 3, 2, - And 4, 3, 2,
- one... - Take it easy.
(Take out the fried vegetables.)
(Anxious)
(Who will finish first?)
- Time's up. - Time's up. Poong is done first.
Poong has finished first.
It's still hot. Hoon is also done now.
Gosh, it was so hectic.
(The thrill you can feel only on this show)
All the dishes are finished.
(Abundant Chinese dishes are made from Bong Won's simple ingredients.)
(Amazed)
All the Chinese dishes for Bong Won have been made.
- Gosh. In just 15 minutes. - Yes.
It looks so fancy.
- You look so surprised. - Well, these dishes...
do look like authentic Chinese dishes.
And the ones over there...
look like Japanese dishes. They're very pretty.
- He'll taste them now. - Right.
He'll taste Poong's dishes first.
(Stir-fried pork and cucumbers and potatoes sauteed in a Chinese style)
(Webtoon Artist Kim Poong's "Poong's Chinese Cuisine")
Please tell me what I should eat first.
French fries would probably be served first at a restaurant.
- Is this an appetizer then? - Kind of.
- Let me taste the appetizer. - It'll be good with beer.
- Thank you for the food. - You got rid of the moisture.
- It'll be crunchy. - It'll be slightly spicy.
(Crunchy)
I can hear the crunchy sound.
- Two kinds of seasoning are used. - Yes.
So it'll surely be tasty.
I know.
This will be great with alcohol.
- Great with beer as it's salty. - With beer.
If you try it with rice,
- it'll be quite different. - He asked you to eat it with rice.
Right. Let me try it like this.
Crunchy French fries.
When we have a bad appetite,
we sprinkle seasoned flakes on rice.
You can eat this instead of that.
He did a good job.
This is quite good.
I see.
This could be added to the menu of the restaurant in Cheonan.
Maybe.
It'll be good with alcohol too. It's good.
- All right. - I like it.
- He likes it. - It's a pass for now.
- I like it. - Good.
- What about this? - Well,
the lettuce is soaked in the sauce,
and you can take each piece of lettuce out.
You can wrap the meat with it.
- Shall I wrap the meat with it? - Yes.
- The stir-fry... - You... No, not with your hands.
- With your chopsticks. - Not with your hands.
It'll be better to scoop the sauce and the lettuce at the same time.
- You can scoop them together. - Instead of wrapping it.
- Like this? - Bong Won has a certificate...
- in Chinese cuisine. - Like this?
(Having a big bite)
All right.
- Is the lettuce like bok choy? - Exactly.
Because there is no bok choy?
- All right. - He looks a little serious.
(Nervous)
It tastes mysterious.
- "Mysterious"? - Yes.
He didn't add seasoning to that.
(Should I have added it?)
It's slightly spicy and sour.
- Spicy and sour. - It's spicy and sour.
- I can see this too. - Pickled cucumbers.
Pickled cucumbers too. Let me try this...
- Please eat it with rice. - with rice like this.
- The eggplant too. - Let me dip the eggplant in here.
- It's steamed. - Is it steamed?
Yes, he steamed the eggplant.
Let me eat them together like this.
- There is a lot of zha cai. - Like this.
(His mouth is watering so much.)
(Having a big bite)
- Is it good? - Yes.
Then why don't you try eating all of them,
including the French fries, in one go?
- Altogether? - Right.
- They'll be good altogether. - Altogether.
(His mouth is wide open.)
All together.
(Amazed)
This is...
(Busy)
(Bon Won's cheeks are stuffed with food.)
Why are you so busy?
Because of this.
(He is impatient at the thought of describing the taste.)
- Okay. - Can you taste the difference?
It's good. Now that I eat it with the eggplant,
it's so much better.
- "So much better"? - Yes, it's much better.
Good. This time,
he'll try Hoon's "Hoon's Chinese Restaurant".
(Eggplant in an earthen pot, fried food, and zha cai)
(Chef Song Hoon's "Hoon's Chinese Restaurant")
I'm supposed to eat the fried food first, right?
No. Please cut the fried food in half, put it on the plate,
and pour the sauce over it like nurungji soup.
- Like seafood nurungji soup? - Exactly.
- With the fried food... - Then...
- Fried food instead of nurungji? - That's right.
Oh, I should put this into the pot, right?
- No. - Normally, you can...
Why don't you understand how to eat it?
- What did he say? - Wait.
Isn't he actually your uncle?
Oh, right. Uncle.
- He's your uncle. - Why do you not understand it?
What did he say?
- I should cut it first. - Yes.
And put it on the plate.
- Put the fried food on it. - Okay then.
You should pour the sauce onto it. Aren't I right?
- Oh, there is squid too. - Yes, on the top.
(There is a lot of squid, his favorite.)
- With the spoon... - With the spoon.
- With this one? Oh, right. - Exactly.
Right. There is a reason this is here too.
What ingredients are there in here?
The main ingredient is eggplant.
And there are various kinds of vegetables,
- Pork. - picnic ham, and squid.
- There is meat too. - And squid as well.
Let me take all of them, including the squid.
Can he put them all into his mouth?
- Let me pour it like this. - Please pour it.
This is used instead of nurungji.
It'll be very hot. Be careful.
(An enthusiastic Bong Won puts all of them into his mouth.)
It must be hot.
- He's eating it well. - Oh, the eggplant...
I think he burned his tongue.
- It's hot. - The eggplant is still hot.
It's hot.
(He can feel the hot eggplant in his mouth.)
- The eggplant must be so hot. - The eggplant...
Eggplants are really hot when they're cooked.
- You may get burned. - Are you okay?
It tastes...
very mild.
It's not too strong.
The fried food doesn't taste like the usual.
It tastes slightly spicy.
I put in the natural seasoning we talked about earlier.
- I added that powder. - Oh, the powder that is used...
to make soybean paste stew?
That's why I can taste the seafood flavor.
I didn't know that, but I tasted the seafood flavor in the fried food.
(You can smell the seafood when you take a bite.)
Very good.
(He's trying only the fried food this time.)
(That looks good. Let me have a bite.)
- Is the fried food good? - Yes, it's fried well.
(Eating the squid)
(How does it taste?)
This will be good with some alcohol too.
- Do you think so? - Yes.
Soju or makgeolli?
This will go well with hard liquor.
- Hard liquor. - Hard liquor.
- Something like baijiu? - Baijiu.
When you go to a cart bar in Hong Kong in the evening,
you can see that kind of accompaniment often.
- Is that right? - It's like a side dish.
(He tries the zha cai too.)
This is good too.
(This one suits my taste too.)
- It's spicy. - As someone who has a certificate,
is there any part that you're not satisfied with?
Something like, "This is not the way I learned it."
I didn't learn about anything like this at all.
(Even though he has a certificate...)
I can feel that it's healthy...
since I can taste seafood too.
I can see that it's made with great care.
You're right.
I think they are amazing.
Man Ki was salivating while watching.
I have a super palate.
Would you like to try it?
- You find everything good, right? - No.
- Be seated. We'll take it to you. - Oh, will you?
Let's give some to Man Ki.
This is what Poong made.
"Poong's Chinese Cuisine".
He said I should eat it with this, and the eggplant too.
(Slurping)
How is it?
I like it. I like Chinese food.
Usually, there is a key characteristic in a Chinese dish.
I think the slightly sour taste is the key to this dish.
(Tasting)
A sour taste neutralizes a greasy taste.
- That's true. - Like fried chicken in hot sauce.
- Is the meat okay? - Yes, it's very good.
- Is it good? - It's delicious.
It suits Man Ki's palate.
That's stir-fried potato.
(Crunchy)
Oh, the sound is amazing.
It'll be good with beer.
- Beer. - You can pick them up and eat it.
I see.
Now, it's "Hoon's Chinese Restaurant".
The ingredients have been fried so well.
He's pouring the sauce onto it.
(He's sprinkling the sauce onto the fried food to make it moist.)
Shouldn't you add the squid too?
(He puts the squid on it nicely too.)
Won't it be too big?
- It's not big at all. - My goodness.
(Chewing)
Goodness. How is it?
If my children eat this,
they'll fall for it right away.
- Is it suited for children? - Yes, it is.
I guess it's not pungent, even though it looks it.
- So are you satisfied? - Yes, I'm so satisfied.
Good. It's time to choose one of them.
- Should I do it now? - Yes.
He has to make a decision.
Please press 1 to vote for Hoon and press 2 to vote for Poong.
Please make up your mind and press the button.
- Press the button. - Let's find out the result.
Show it to us.
A new Chinese dish.
If Poong wins, it will be the end of his consecutive losses.
If Hoon wins, he'll have the same number of star badges as Poong.
Let's see who Bong Won chose. Show us the result!
Who will it be?
(Webtoon Artist Kim Poong won.)
It's Poong.
("Poong's Chinese Cuisine" won.)
Poong won.
("Poong's Chinese Cuisine" won.)
- Poong. - He avenged his teacher.
He did.
I fell for the two kinds of seasoning used in the French fries.
(The blended ramyeon seasoning captivated him.)
It was fried so well.
How long has it been since you won last time?
I can hardly remember. I'm not even sure I've ever won.
- According to the data, 4 months. - It's been 4 months.
- It's been four months since... - Please...
don't forget me for the next four months.
All right. I won't forget you for the next four years.
Poong now has six wins.
(Poong put an end to his losing streak.)
Congratulations.
(Congratulations)
(Fry sliced potatoes and stir-fry with two kinds of seasoning.)
(Stir-fry picnic ham and cucumber with various ingredients...)
(and serve with blanched lettuce and steamed eggplant.)
The second match using Lee Bong Won's fridge is...
between the chef who is currently top one...
in Chef and My Fridge, Sam,
and the chef who is chasing after him, Se Deuk.
We have our eyes...
on Sam's rising to the top.
It's too much.
With 10 wins,
he is the top one.
I see that 1 badge represents 5 wins.
- That's right. - Yes.
He aims to win the league this year.
Last year, the star on the trophy was about this big.
I heard that it will be bigger this year.
It will be different this year.
- Did the champion get pure gold? - Yes.
We give pure gold.
Maybe I should work in this industry.
Continue to do what you do.
Since this match is also about spicy food,
Sam might have a disadvantage.
Sam has a baby's tongue.
I heard that he still rinses kimchi.
I heard that his son is better at eating spicy food.
(Is his son, Daniel, better at eating spicy food?)
There are a lot of chili peppers on the cutting board.
Gosh, there are a lot of chili peppers.
- Will you use all of them? - Yes, I will.
What?
But I will go out in the field for this match.
I can't eat spicy food.
Why does Se Deuk look happy?
Is there a reason?
From 2017 to now, I haven't lost to Sam...
in a single match.
Really?
In 2017, the score was 1 to 0. In 2018, the score was 2 to 0.
In this season, the score is 2 to 0. Se Deuk won all 5 matches.
He hasn't lost to Sam in a single match.
- He is Sam's predator. - That's right.
(A match between the top 1 chef and his predator)
That's right.
(Se Deuk chose picnic ham, squid, salted clam,)
(lettuce, eggplant, and artificial flavor for the soup.)
(Sam chose picnic ham, lettuce,)
(bacon, zucchini, and cucumber.)
Se Deuk, what kind of a dish will you make today?
The dish I will make today is...
I Found Spiciness!
(I Found Spiciness)
- I Found Spiciness. - I Found Spiciness.
- Spiciness. - Spiciness.
- It's a good name. - Spiciness.
I will show the epitome of spiciness...
with a tasty dish.
I will make Thai pork stir-fry.
I will use squid as well.
In Thailand, there is an interesting omelet.
It's omelet that is made by frying eggs.
I will add Cheongyang peppers and make a rice bowl...
- that delivers... - I like the rice bowl.
the spiciness.
Sam, what kind of a dish will you make?
The dish I will make today is...
(Shooting)
(Gosh, my eyes sting.)
Spicy Man.
That was smooth.
He is the top one chef.
Tell us about the dish.
I will take this further and make a Mexican dish.
- Mexican food is spicy. - That's right.
Mexican peppers are famous.
That's right.
There aren't enough ingredients to make an authentic Mexican dish,
but I will make a spicy pork dish...
by seasoning it and cooking it with green onion.
Since there is no tortilla,
I will make the dough...
and make something like naan.
I will fry zucchini and make it sour and sweet...
as an accompaniment.
The sauce will contain...
Cheongyang peppers cooked in various ways...
so that it provides balance to the dish.
All right. It's time to start the match of spiciness.
A chef who wants to walk on the road of star badges...
to the championship match, Sam...
and his natural enemy, Se Deuk, will go against each other.
Which chef will show the epitome of spiciness?
We will now start the 15-minute cook-off!
(The 15-minute cook-off starts!)
It's a match of spiciness.
Sam is grilling peppers.
- He is grilling them. - Yes.
Won't they lose their spiciness after grilling?
They will take on a unique kind of spiciness.
I think his dish will be unique.
- Aren't those green chili peppers? - You are right.
- Those are green chili peppers. - He is using a lot.
He is grilling some and frying some.
- That's right. - I think he is grilling those.
Is he frying them or boiling them?
- He is boiling them. - I see.
He is boiling them, not frying them.
Stop using chili peppers!
(Blend boiled Cheongyang peppers and add olive oil for the sauce.)
He is blending the boiled ones.
He blended the stems too.
- Is that okay? - Really?
It's okay because he boiled them.
I see. Boiled stems are edible.
(I see.)
(Mix soy sauce, rice wine, and cooking wine,)
(and crushed Cheongyang peppers to make the sauce.)
(Se Deuk is using Cheongyang peppers as well.)
You should stop using chili peppers.
I can't help but worry.
I can't eat spicy food.
- Really? - Yes. I can't eat it very well.
I see. That's unexpected.
If it's what the owner of the fridge wants,
they should use a lot of chili peppers.
(Blend butter, green onion, onion, chili pepper powder,)
(sugar, and soy sauce.)
(Marinate picnic ham in the blended mixture.)
He is preparing an eggplant.
I will make a spicy version of the steamed eggplant...
and serve it with the main dish.
You will steam it, not fry it.
It will be cooked in the sauce.
- It will be cooked in soy sauce. - It will be cooked in soy sauce.
- Is that soy sauce? - Yes.
That's right.
The eggplant will soak up the soy sauce.
(Make chili oil by pouring hot oil...)
(on chili pepper powder, garlic, soy sauce, and green onion.)
Is that chili oil? Is he pouring hot oil?
Adding soy sauce to the mixture...
makes chili oil more flavorful.
Isn't this a new technique?
Is that a Thai technique?
- It's a Chinese technique. - Is that a Chinese technique?
- Is that so? - Thailand and China...
are close to each other.
The northern part of Thailand isn't very far from China.
(Make garlic oil by stir-frying garlic, bacon, and olive oil.)
Is Sam using ham?
- It's bacon. - Bacon.
I am stir-frying it in garlic oil.
(Cook bacon in garlic oil.)
What is that for?
I will use it for the fried zucchini.
(Is he throwing away bacon?)
Are you throwing away bacon?
Yes, I am.
He threw away bacon after getting the oil out.
- He will just use the oil. - Did he throw it away?
Give it to me. I will eat it.
- He will just use the oil. - My goodness.
Why would you throw away something so tasty?
- Seriously. - I will eat it.
It's so crispy.
You must be rich.
Why are you wasting ingredients...
when there aren't many?
He is wasting food.
In Western cuisine, it's like a cheat code.
Lard and various herbs...
that go into the bacon come out in the oil.
(I will find my own cheat code.)
He fried it so well.
Eat it. Eat it. It would be a waste to throw it away.
How does it taste?
(Electrifying)
- How does it taste? - It's so tasty.
Why did he discard it?
- He should have used it. - My goodness.
I will vote for Sam no matter what.
(He made his choice.)
Why didn't he use this bacon?
I know. Why didn't he use it?
We thought he would use it.
I know.
- You have your reasons, right? - Yes, I do.
- He has his reasons? - He is the top one chef,
so we can't criticize his choice.
Let's see if his choice will prove to be a good one.
Had Poong done that, he would have gotten scolded.
I would never do that. My goodness.
- You would never do that. - That's right.
Winning is what's important.
What are you doing?
I will fry the zucchini.
- Will you fry the zucchini? - Yes.
I am frying zucchini that is coated...
with flour.
- He didn't make a batter. - He coated it with flour.
- Will it stick to the zucchini? - The flour will.
Zucchini has a bit of moisture,
so it will stick.
Sam doesn't like thick coating...
when he makes fried food.
(Make pickled chili pepper...)
(by adding lemon juice and olive oil to grilled green chili peppers.)
(Make the chili pepper and mayonnaise sauce...)
(by adding cucumber, onion, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper.)
Sam cooked chili peppers...
in three different ways.
One was put into the lemon oil...
and one was minced and mixed with mayonnaise.
Seven minutes remain.
One was blended...
and put into the olive oil.
He is using them in different ways.
I see.
(Slice Cheongyang peppers and red chili peppers.)
He is using a lot of chili peppers.
(Mince squid.)
For the stir-fry I am making,
- I must mince all the ingredients. - Is that squid?
- It's squid. - Squid.
He is cutting it into small pieces.
The pieces are very small.
(Blend the fatty part of picnic ham.)
(Stir-fry chili peppers, squid, and the fatty part...)
(with chili oil.)
Se Deuk's stir-fry looks spicy.
I know. It looks very spicy.
What does it contain?
- This? It contains... - His eyes are stinging.
His eyes are stinging.
It contains pork,
squid... Gosh, my eyes really sting.
Don't cry.
Se Deuk can't eat spicy food very well.
- He can't? - Is that so?
(Se Deuk can't eat spicy food very well.)
Since I don't have fermented anchovy sauce,
I will add salted clam.
- We tasted it. - Yes.
(Add salted clam.)
It's the perfect drinking snack.
It's very savory.
(Add salt and artificial seasoning for the soup.)
(Microwave instant rice.)
(He cooks diligently as he sheds tears.)
It's time to make the tortilla. Get some flour.
Sam is getting started on the dough.
Flour dough.
How do you make the dough for tortilla?
Usually, you make the powder...
with dry corn and add oil.
- It's too watery. - Watery.
- It's torn easily. - It's watery.
(Adding more flour)
He's trying again.
- He's wasting time for that. - Knead it a lot.
Right. He should make tortillas well...
because it's Mexican food.
That's right.
Goodness.
- He failed again. - He's in trouble.
- He kneaded it with hot water, - He used hot water.
- so it's a little... - Oh, he used hot water.
Because he used hot water, he needs a lot of flour.
- I see. - But the texture will be better.
- Is that right? - Yes, it'll be chewy.
It'll be very delicious when it's grilled.
- And it'll cook faster. - That's good.
- It looks fine now. - It's okay now.
Will he fill it with something else?
- No. - It'll be used as wraps.
- Wraps? - Yes.
- Wrapping with tortillas. - He cut it with a round cutter.
- Oh, like dumplings? - Exactly.
Like dumpling wraps.
(Cut it with a round cutter and grill in a pan.)
(Grill the seasoned picnic ham in a pan.)
(Take the fried zucchini and mix it with garlic oil.)
(Blend chili peppers, soy sauce, and eggs.)
It's so hectic.
Se Deuk is blending eggs and chili peppers...
to make the batter.
Eggs?
What's the batter for?
He's making fries.
- Is the batter fried with oil? - Yes.
(Fry the batter with a lot of oil.)
There are five minutes left. Jung Hwan.
- Please go take a look. - Okay.
- The heat is low. - It's unique.
I can already smell the spiciness from here.
It's thrilling.
- It is. It's fun to watch today. - I know.
This fried food is common in Southeast Asia.
- Jung Hwan, please taste that. - Okay.
- The egg? - No.
- Oh, this one? - The hot one. Yes.
Gosh... This one?
I wonder how it tastes.
I think it should be too spicy for me...
because Bong Won loves spicy food.
He loves it.
Try it. He tried it.
Is it spicy?
- Gosh, this is... - Is it very spicy?
It's really... Oh, it's spicy!
It's so spicy.
- I can feel the burn in my throat. - I see.
- It's very spicy. - It's spicy.
But it's slightly sweet too.
- It's hot and sweet. - Hot and sweet.
My goodness. Is it?
Because of the sweet taste, it tastes okay.
That's the taste I wanted.
It is spicy, but it doesn't make me feel uncomfortable.
- Be careful. - That's fascinating.
The egg is flipped over,
- It's spicy. - and now, it looks...
- It's a little reddish. - Yes.
- Which part of pork is this? - Picnic ham.
- Picnic ham seasoned with red... - With ground red chili peppers...
and onion.
Then this will be spicy too.
- Jung Hwan. - Yes?
Sam made three kinds of chili pepper sauce.
- These three? - Yes.
Would you try one of them?
I'm sorry, but I think I have to drink some water.
(Let me drink some water first.)
Water won't do.
You should rather drink oil.
How will Sam's food be?
- There are three kinds. - Try and compare them.
All these three? No way.
- Why not? - We're curious.
- Mayonnaise... - Which is the spiciest among them?
- This one is the spiciest. - This one.
- I'll try the spiciest one. - Right, that one.
How will the spiciness compare to Se Deuk's?
- All right. - Here.
That's too little.
- This is enough. - It's enough.
There are chili peppers there, right? All right, Jung Hwan.
How spicy is it?
- Is it spicy? - I don't think it is.
- Oh, it doesn't seem to be. - It should be spicier.
I guess it's not spicy.
- Sam. - Is his tongue paralyzed now?
Sam, he says it's not spicy.
- It's spicy. - That one was spicier.
This one is spicy too, but... Oh!
- It's spicy. - Spicy.
(It's spicy!)
(The heat kicks in later.)
Gosh. It's spicy.
- He's like Spider-Man. - It is spicy. It kicks in later.
It's a different kind of spiciness.
- My goodness. - It kicks in much later.
But both are spicy indeed.
The heat of Sam's food kicks in much later.
I'm sweating now.
He's grilling green onions.
Yes, he's grilling green onions.
(Se Deuk opens the steamer.)
(Put the steamed eggplant on the dish with lettuce. Sprinkle sauce.)
(Put instant rice on the side.)
He's serving rice.
It became a rice bowl.
- There is 1 minute left. - 1 minute.
The timer has turned red.
(He's done with grilling the green onions.)
(Put the green onions into the pan.)
(Se Deuk finishes his fried omelet.)
(Remove the grease left on the omelet with a paper towel.)
Se Deuk is now...
- I'm squeezing the oil out. - All he has to do is serve it.
There are about 30 seconds left.
- 30 seconds. - 30 seconds.
(Add the Cheongyang chili peppers to the pork.)
It looks like grilled dumping wraps instead of tortillas.
- Grilled dumpling wraps? - They are so round.
They look pretty.
You are supposed to make wraps with them.
(Sam starts to wrap it up.)
(Se Deuk also starts to wrap it up.)
(Putting the omelet on the rice)
- The egg went on the plate. - Se Deuk is almost done.
About 20 seconds left.
Se Deuk's dish looks like Thai food now.
- It does. - Right.
Se Deuk's dish does look Thai.
- Gosh, it's spicy. - Oh, it's spicy.
There are 15 seconds left.
Please hurry up.
- 10, 9, 8, 7, 6... - 10, 9, 8, 7, 6,
- Se Deuk is done. - 5, 4, 3...
- 10, 9, 8... - 10, 9, 8...
(Put the green onion and grilled pork on a plate.)
- 2, 1. Are you done? - 2, 1.
Sam is also done.
It's so spicy.
Gosh, even I'm sweating.
- They're grilled well. - The tortillas are grilled well.
But I'm worried they might harden after some time.
Oh, does it become hard later?
All the dishes for Bong Won are finished now.
This does look like Mexican food.
Seriously. This one is Thai and that one is Mexican food.
That's right.
- That looks fantastic. - Isn't it great?
Look at what they made with such limited ingredients.
- I know. - Aren't they amazing?
They are amazing.
The fridge was so barren.
- Indeed. - I know.
They created Mexican and Thai dishes from the barren fridge.
(Spicy Thai omelet and rice)
(Chef Oh Se Deuk's I Found Spiciness)
I'll probably sweat, so let me take off my glasses.
He's taking his glasses off.
Please let me know how I should eat this.
There is rice under the omelet.
- Yes, here it is. - Please mix them...
with the stir-fried pork and squid.
Originally, the omelet is not spicy,
but you said you like spicy food, so I made it...
- a little spicy. - You did?
- Well, that will be... - It'll be extremely spicy then.
If the chef even teared up, it means it's very spicy.
Eggs are used to make it less spicy, but he added...
- That's right. - Cheongyang Chili peppers there.
- Eat it with the sauce. - With the sauce.
- Please eat them together. - Okay.
I can smell the spicy fragrance already.
- You can? - I can smell it a lot.
His forehead is still dry now.
If Bong Won cries after eating it, it'll be very funny.
It won't be that spicy to him.
Its oil was very spicy, and it was burning in my throat.
This is the right amount of spiciness for you, right?
- Yes, it's okay. - Is it?
It's okay to me.
Would you give about three stars to it?
According to my standards, it's less than three stars.
- Less than 3? - Less than 3.
Then it means you like spicy food so much.
The omelet...
The omelet is so soft. Very soft.
If it were a fried egg, it would be hard already,
but this feels like it's wet.
If omelet is grilled with a little bit of oil, it's not as soft,
but if it's fried with a lot of oil, it gets softer.
The omelet is very light.
I can't really taste the chili peppers.
- He loves spicy food. - He says it's not spicy.
- And there is eggplant too. - Okay.
Please try the eggplant with the stir-fried...
pork and squid.
Let me try them together now.
Isn't it hot?
Maybe it's less spicy because he's eating it...
with rice, eggs, and eggplant.
- The eggplant is... - Soft.
soft and slightly sweet as well.
Yes, that's right.
I steamed it in the mixture of soy sauce, cooking wine, and sugar.
It's sweet and spicy.
- Hot and sweet? - Yes, hot and sweet.
- It's very good. - It's hot yet sweet.
Yes, it is.
Children would like this if they...
- Even children? - If they don't hate spicy food.
- Kids like tteokbokki. - Because it's sweet too.
- Kids will like it as it's sweet. - It's interesting.
- The sweet taste neutralizes it? - Yes.
Where does that sweetness come from?
- Vegetables like onions. - Eggplant too.
In fact, chili peppers don't only have spiciness.
If you keep chewing them, you can feel the sweetness.
And he put in chopped squid in there too.
Right. I was wondering what it was, and it was squid.
I can feel the texture of meat...
- and squid as well. - It's chopped.
It's firm and chewy.
- He said he likes squid. - That's right.
- He seems very happy. - Right.
It seems like Se Deuk will win again today.
In fact, I don't need this egg.
I could eat this without the egg.
You're saying you can handle the spiciness.
It'll become spicier if I do this.
I'll have this alone.
- Without the egg? - Without the egg.
That's how you make it spicy.
Just with this and rice.
- With rice and that. - It will be spicy.
(He takes a bite without hesitation.)
(Nodding)
Bong Won nods and gives a thumbs-up.
- Do you like this? - Yes, I love it.
It hit the spot.
I love rice bowls.
You're not sweating, but your face is very red right now.
It's a bit spicy.
- But it's okay. - It's okay for Bong Won.
- It's delicious too. - I can't stop eating the rice.
That's because it's spicy.
All right. It's a good spicy dish.
(Mexican style grilled pork with tortilla)
(Chef Sam Kim's Spicy Man)
Please squeeze that lemon on top of the chili sauce.
It won't be spicy then.
- No, it's already spicy. - Really?
- Get a piece of tortilla. - A piece of tortilla.
Add the pork on top.
I'll put the pork on top.
I'll get this piece.
- This is zucchini. - I'll get the zucchini.
- You can use your spoon. - What's this with zucchini?
It's garlic.
- I can add them together. - Garlic and chili peppers.
- It would be spicy with garlic. - Right.
Then add the green onion.
That's nice. Grilled green onion.
- Add the green sauce too. - Add it?
Right. Add that sauce.
Add that chili sauce with the lemon squeeze.
- Add all of them? - How many?
- 1 or 2. - Maybe 2.
- As much as you want. - As much as you want.
- Three. - He's good with spicy food.
Three pieces.
- Can he eat it now? - That would be too spicy.
Goodness. It looks good.
- All right. - Let me try it.
(Giggling)
All right. It's a Mexican dish.
He takes a big bite.
(It tastes best when you shove it all in.)
(Giggling)
I wonder what it tastes like.
It tastes...
very fresh.
(It tastes very fresh!)
- There's pork too. - Right.
But the combination of green onions and zucchini is good.
I feel like I'm eating healthy vegetables.
They're spicy and healthy vegetables.
It tastes very healthy.
It's like that.
How spicy is it?
It's less spicy than the other dish.
Less spicy?
It's because Chef Sam Kim...
can't eat spicy food.
Maybe it's because he didn't try the food he made.
He tried his best.
Try having it without the tortilla.
- Have it without the tortilla. - But how?
With his spoon?
Have the green onion.
I can wrap it with green onion.
- Right. - Yes.
Add the chili pepper.
- Add the chili sauce. - He's so determined.
- Oh, I'll put it all on my spoon. - Right.
Is he going to be okay?
- Gosh. - It looks spicy.
(Just looking at it gives us a burning feeling already.)
How is it?
(How will Bong Won like it?)
This is...
I know the reason now.
- Even I feel the spiciness. - The reason is...
Since this dish is Mexican,
he mixed it with mayonnaise.
The mayonnaise removes all the spiciness.
I see.
He shouldn't have added mayonnaise.
The mayo makes the flavor mild.
Also, the more I chew the meat,
the juice that comes out neutralizes the spiciness.
He should eat just the chili peppers.
You really should.
Like this?
(Should I eat just the chili peppers?)
This is more like a fancy dish.
And this is like a fancy meal.
But there's no big difference.
All right. Grab the remote control.
Who's number 1 and who's number 2?
Press 1 for the 1st dish.
Press one for Se Deuk's dish.
Press two for Sam Kim's Spicy Man.
Make up your mind and press the button.
- I pressed it. - He pressed it.
That was very quick.
Great. Who's going to be the winner?
Let's see who has won this round. Show us the result.
Who's the winner?
Let's see who has won this round. Show us the result.
Who's the winner?
(Chef Oh Se Deuk won.)
(I Found Spiciness won.)
Se Deuk's the winner again.
Se Deuk is Sam's predator.
- Se Deuk won again. - Goodness.
What made you pick Se Deuk?
The most important part was the level of spiciness.
- I see. - The level of spiciness.
With today's result, Se Deuk continues to be...
Sam's predator.
Please give the star badge to Chef Se Deuk.
Here you go.
Se Deuk's tied for second place.
That's his eighth victory.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
