Original subtitles

(Edward Lee's first cooking class in Korea is here.)

(The average age of the students is in the 70s.)

(What is this?)

(Grandpa starts out tough with a kick.)

(They brought pots and aprons from home.)

(They're ready with their manliness and cuteness.)

(Today's instructor, Edward Lee, 43 years of cooking experience, )

(The chef for White House banquets, Winner of "Iron Chef")

(1st thing to keep in mind: He can only teach in English.)

(Show... Me what?)

(I think you need to go a bit slower.)

(You're going too fast!)

(Flustered)

(2nd thing to keep in mind: He may rush when he's frazzled.)

(A super-fast cooking class?)

(All over the room, )

(complaints can be heard. This dough is not working.)

(Slow. Slowly.)

(Flustered)

(Cleaning up)

(Helping with the dough)

(A total mess)

(The Country members' first cooking class is coming soon!)

(Edward Lee's Country Cook)

(Morning has come again to Gangwon Province)

(Nature is just waking up and making lively sounds.)

(What will happen today?)

- I'm hungry. - Oh, I'm hungry.

Would you like tadpole noodles?

Pardon?

Can you take this?

- Sure. - Yes.

- This? - Yes.

In 1, 2, 3.

(The millstone is really heavy, even for 2 men.)

I think we can do it here.

(Ms. Kwon will make breakfast for the Country members.)

- That's so heavy. - Oh, that's heavy.

My mother-in-law brought this when she got married.

So it's more than 100 years old.

Do you want to try this?

- Yes. - Do you want to try this?

So what is this?

- Is this... - Yes, you put it this way.

- Corn. - Oh, corn.

(When he's curious, he tries it right away!)

There's glutinous rice, and there's non-glutinous rice.

Same for corn.

There is non-glutinous corn and glutinous corn.

(Non-glutinous corn: Compared to glutinous corn, )

(non-glutinous corn has bigger and more kernels, )

(but with low starch content, it's not very sticky.)

Back in the day, they used non-glutinous corn...

for tadpole noodles before the corn was ripe, so it was white.

It's food they used to eat when resources were scarce.

(A Gangwon Province dish, Tadpole noodles)

Do it with your left hand. Yes.

Add some water as you go.

(Tadpole noodles step 1: Grind corn with a millstone.)

It must be impossible to do this alone.

Stop. Okay.

- I'll add some. - Okay.

You can't add too much.

But the shape...

That's how it comes out.

- But when you add too much... - I see.

- The kernels are falling out. - Right.

I get it.

- Slowly. - Yes, slowly.

- A little bit at a time. - About this much?

I got it.

- Is this too much too? - No.

(Yo Han, slowly.)

A little...

That's good.

Okay.

- Add water. - And water.

You seem to have done this before.

- Have you done this before? - In my past life.

- Oh, you have? - In his past life.

(I see.)

- Your past life... - Like this?

- Look at how much is coming out. - That's right.

(Let's focus on your current life.)

How does it feel?

I want to do pansori.

Give it a go.

- Arirang - Pansori.

- Is this right? - Pansori?

(He's having so much fun that he can't help but hum.)

(What does a millstone mean to Edward Lee?)

- Your hand... - Oh, my.

It's a funny thing when you do that.

In those times, when you wanted food,

it was, "Let's create a technique..."

"that can last for hundreds of years."

It was invented at a time when our ancestors...

really thought about these things.

It's very special to be able to touch those things.

There we go.

What should we do next?

We have to boil this in a pot now.

- Okay. - Sounds good.

Sounds good.

I need someone strong to stir it for me.

- I'll do it. - Have you seen this before?

- It's my 1st time. - It's his 1st time.

Then shall we go outside?

- Yes. - Yes. Let's go and give it a go.

Let's go.

(Making the fire first to boil the noodles)

The fire is catching really well.

(With Ms. Kwon's husband)

Oh, the smell of fire.

(Unlike last night, the fire is burning well.)

Should I put it in here?

(Tadpole noodles step 2: Make the corn dough.)

- Do you want me to open it? - Yes.

- Pour it in. - Okay.

All of it?

(They only use water and the corn they ground in the millstone.)

I can really smell the corn.

You're right.

It's a smell I like.

(He couldn't hold back, so he has a taste.)

(Eating twins)

- Go up behind there... - Okay.

And stir like this.

Like this.

You don't want it to stick.

- You have to keep stirring. - Yes.

(When he sees something new, he has to try it himself.)

(Arirang)

(Arirang)

Should we sing together?

(The only addiction allowed in Jeongseon, Arirang)

(Arirang)

(Eddie and Yo Han sing soulfully.)

(Mumbling the lyrics)

Going over the hill

Makgeolli.

Should I bring some makgeolli? With kimchi.

(The fantastic duet song made them crave makgeolli.)

Okay.

Oh, it's getting really thick now.

- It's good now. - Okay.

(The corn dough is almost done.)

That must be tasty.

(The corn dough is almost done.)

(Tadpole noodles step 3: Make the noodles...)

(after letting the dough sit for 30 minutes.)

Should I remove this? Is it this one?

It's like...

- soup. - Yes.

I see. You're going to press it, and the noodles will come out.

I see.

You should try pressing it.

Ready?

(Pressing)

That's so impressive.

- They really look like tadpoles. - Oh, this is so fun.

This is so fun.

They really look like tadpoles.

- It turned out so well. - Oh, my gosh.

Seriously.

Look at that.

- This is your first time, right? - Yes.

You did so great. It's perfect.

- Again. - Again.

Here. You try one. It's so...

- It's so much fun. - Let's do it one more time.

- Just once. - I'll do it.

(After Eddie, Yo Han gives it a go too.)

- Good. - Okay.

You're too strong.

(A communication error. He's pressing even harder?)

(Long tadpole noodles)

They're normal noodles now.

They're all bunched up.

(What is this?)

- Right. - They're all bunched up.

- Oh, my gosh. - You made big chunks.

(What had to be noodles)

He kept saying, "Strong."

He kept telling me to use more strength.

(I did well, so it's okay.)

I had to stop, didn't I?

(Tadpole noodles are done.)

(Yo Han's part has been erased.)

- Should we go in and cook now? - Okay.

- Okay. - Let's head in.

So if you look here...

(It's time to prepare breakfast.)

(Opening her treasure box)

- Thistle. - Thistle.

Should I take that?

Here is deodeok.

- To use as a topping. - What is this?

- Deodeok? - Julienned deodeok.

- Not julienned. Thin slices. - Thin slices.

- Thin slices of deodeok? - Yes.

That's interesting. Thin slices of deodeok.

- I've never seen... - I'll probably...

serve this mulkimchi...

I'm guessing you've never tried this before.

- Wild celery. - She said this was wild celery.

- What is this here? - Bracken.

Bracken.

- What is this? Oh, from earlier. - Kiwiberry sprouts.

(She's bringing out many namuls you can't easily find in the city.)

Oh, my gosh.

- Every different kind of namul. - There are so many.

(A Gangwon Province dish, Assorted namul)

- We'll use these... - Okay.

- This... - to make rice.

(Which namul did Ms. Kwon pick first?)

The other namuls have strong scents.

So you can't cook them in rice or soups.

But thistle...

goes well with rice.

- Does someone want to season it? - Yes.

Kyun can.

- Please give it a go. - Okay.

- Thanks. - We're making a lot.

(Putting on gloves looking serious)

- You should learn... - It's on top.

- how it's truly done. - Okay.

- With Ms. Kwon. - I see.

Right.

For this, I use a mixture...

- perilla oil and sesame oil. - A mixture. Okay.

I had the oils pressed and mixed.

(Nutty)

- Perilla oil and sesame oil. - Yes.

- Okay. - Salt.

- Salt. - Yes.

- Season it? - Season it.

- I'll do it. - Okay.

(Confidently giving it a try!)

(Something seems off...)

I should teach you how to season namul.

Is it wrong?

With namul, just season it like this.

- Oh, okay. - Yes.

- Quickly? - Yes.

You have to be tough.

- You put more here. - I see.

And try...

(Tasting it like a tough guy)

- I like it. - You like it?

Yes.

(I want a bite too.)

The rice...

- Oh, that's tasty. - The rice.

(Thistle rice recipe, 1. Add oil to the rice cooker.)

(2. Cover the bottom with namul. 3. Add soaked rice on top.)

Oh, so cooking oil goes on the bottom,

then you add the namul, and then you steam the rice.

Why are you putting the namul at the bottom?

To keep the rice from burning.

Like this.

(The tip is to add the rice on top of the thistle so it doesn't burn.)

The scent will really soak into the rice.

That makes it delicious.

And it'll be even more delicious if you add a lot of this.

(Lastly, a generous amount of her special perilla and sesame oil)

I've never seen this before. Using sesame oil...

- Adding it to rice? - When you're making rice...

Right.

Is that common to put oil?

- No, it's not. - No?

But in Korea, there's sotbap.

When we make sotbap, we use oil.

- Right. - Pollack roe sotbap.

When we make things like that, we use oil.

(Pouring)

(Eddie's radar is on!)

You added a bit of water.

There's moisture in the namul.

- So we just need this much. - I see.

(Korean food knowledge acquired)

I've never seen that method of cooking rice before.

I kind of almost... I know not to doubt her,

but in my head, I was thinking,

"That can't cook."

"There's too little water that it's not going to cook."

(Half-doubting, half-curious)

(Eddie's first thistle rice is full of questions.)

Let's prepare some namul.

- Okay. - Okay.

I have to taste all of this.

Here.

Should I add more?

- This is the strongest. - Yes.

- This is bracken. - Bracken.

I love bracken.

(Actually, Eddie...)

I cooked it in soy sauce before.

- We also... - You marinated it before.

This is half-dried.

This is halibut you can eat raw.

(Pretending like nothing happened)

- Braised halibut? - I see.

The braised halibut...

Did you already cook the radish?

There were so many different namuls.

Every single one has a very distinct flavor.

Some are nuttier. Some are brighter.

Some are deeper.

And then... She had "naegi?"

Which I don't think I've ever had before.

It tasted so light and bright,

but it had a very long sort of finish to it.

Have you tried this one? It's so good.

Oh, really? What is the name of it?

Is it shepherd's purse? I think it's shepherd's purse.

- It doesn't say. - It's shepherd's purse.

It looks like shepherd's purse.

We season it or use it in doenjang stew.

(Shepherd's purse: A popular spring namul in Korea.)

(It has a bitter taste and a unique scent, )

(and it's full of vitamins.)

We season shepherd's purse with gochujang.

- Do you want to do it, Edward? - Sure.

(Oh, yes! I'm going to season shepherd's purse.)

(The recipe is in his head.)

(Eddie will season it using his intuition.)

(Not holding back when seasoning, just as Master Kwon taught him)

- It smells good. - Try it.

How is it?

- Good? - Yes.

There's too much here.

I'll try some.

(How does it taste?)

- It tastes so good. - I want a bite.

It is a bit salty.

- A little? - It's good.

You need to make namul salty at first.

It becomes blander later.

- Oh, is that so? - Yes.

- See? I know. - It's because of the water.

- It comes out... - Yes.

- I knew that. - Oh, really?

- Of course. - Are you sure?

Chef!

(Shepherd's purse namul prepared with Eddie's hands)

(The thistle rice is ready and steaming.)

Where did they put the rice paddles?

I think I saw rice paddles under here.

- Is this rice okay? - Is it right?

Yes. The rice turned out well.

- Mix it. - Oh, my.

The rice really smells so savory.

(The unique, fresh aroma of thistle gives thistle rice rich flavor.)

Dark soy sauce. Can you pass it to me?

(The youngsters are working hard too.)

- Is this it? - Yes, it is.

(The Country members are making namul with their personal touch.)

Ms. Kwon. I should flip this when it becomes...

- golden brown, right? - Yes.

- Right now. - Now?

(Finishing off with grilled deodeok becoming nice and brown)

(After adding their handmade dishes to the table, 1 by 1)

Oh, my gosh. Look at this table.

Enough. No, not "enough." There is so much.

(A full breakfast table, Saving it in Kyun's heart)

I feel very lucky.

(Appetizing thistle rice with its savory aroma)

(Namul side dishes with the energy of Gangwon Province)

(And tadpole noodles made in the traditional way)

(A table with Gangwon Province's nature and life)

Gosh, this looks so delicious.

Thank you so much.

- Thank you for the food. - Thank you for the food.

How should we eat this?

- Which one? - Should we just eat it?

No. We brought soy sauce.

- Which one? - Should we just eat it?

(It's good on its own.)

- This. Yes, this soy sauce. - This, right?

- A little bit? - Yes.

(Special milk vetch soy sauce really enhances the thistle rice.)

- This looks delicious. - A little bit more.

(You can already feel the savory and rich flavors.)

(Eating up)

When we finally tasted it, it was amazing.

The juice from the namul almost created a perfume.

And it went through all of the rice. Every little piece of rice...

had the perfume of the namul inside of it.

It was really fantastic. I could've eaten that bowl of rice...

by itself. It was so good.

Oh, that's good.

- I'm so happy. - You're happy?

(Proud)

It was so savory and light.

The sauce that Ms. Kwon made.

When I mixed that in,

it was a very balanced flavor.

Will I be able to eat that again?

I think I'll come back to Jeongseon.

I brought this.

- What is that? - It's Jeongseon leaf mustard.

(Jeongseon leaf mustard with soft and tender leaves)

- Leaf mustard? - This type of leaf mustard...

isn't grown in other places. It's only in Jeongseon.

You can add this on top.

- Here? I see. - Yes.

(Aromatic wild chive sauce and leaf mustard namul...)

(round out the simple flavor of tadpole noodles.)

Have it with the soy sauce.

This is wild chive sauce.

It's slightly salty.

(How do tadpole noodles taste...)

(with leaf mustard namul and wild chive sauce?)

Oh, this is good.

This is good.

You must be hungry right now.

This wild chive. When it's mixed with soy sauce...

It usually has spiciness at the end,

- but that goes away. - The soy sauce is different.

It's so delicious.

It's so amusing.

- Isn't the texture unique? - Yes.

- It's tasty. - Yes.

Do you have this type of noodle in the US too?

- This? - Yes.

No.

No?

You don't, right?

Have you had this before?

This is my first time having this.

- It's a first for me too. - First time in my life.

It's a first for all of us.

And the taste was so delicate and so light.

And I just had never tasted something like that before.

It was slippery and juicy,

but it also had the texture of soft noodles.

We should've put namul in two dishes. We were too busy.

(Someone becomes very quiet when food tastes good.)

This is delicious.

- I'm so happy. - You're happy?

And this is our first meal of the day.

(She hasn't said anything for a while now.)

(If you ask why people only have one mouth, )

(I will say because it is a luxury to speak while eating deodeok.)

(You really eat so well.)

I should have the dish that Si A cooked too.

That's really good.

(Getting more excited at Foodie Si A's recommendation)

Isn't that good?

Isn't that good?

- It's so good. It's fascinating. - This is so delicious, right?

It's so delicious. That surprised me.

- Hey, that's so delicious. - Right?

The sauce is nice,

and you grilled it so well.

I made it with gochujang...

- and fruit extract. - It's so delicious.

- I want to learn how to make... - Yes?

The deodeok sauce.

Go to the kitchen later and ask for some.

Oh, really?

I really want to make this for my family.

For my grandma and grandpa.

- Really? - They like this.

It's even tastier because the deodeok is local.

(Gangwon Province deodeok has a strong aroma and flavor.)

Out of all of the grilled deodeok I've had,

this was the most delicious.

I think there were two reasons.

First, the deodeok was so nice.

It was nice deodeok with a sweetness and crunch.

The second was the sauce.

It was so delicious.

It really enhanced the savory flavor of the deodeok.

I couldn't stop eating it.

(She was touched by the delicious grilled deodeok.)

What is your favorite?

The rice.

- The rice? - The rice? I see.

(A Sung's favorite: Savory thistle rice)

- This. - The shepherd's purse?

It's so good.

- You made this, right? - You made this, right, Eddie?

With the gochujang.

Shepherd's purse is tasty when seasoned with gochujang.

(Eddie's favorite, Shepherd's purse with a tangy, sweet taste of spring)

(Namul is so delicious that even Eddie from Kentucky loves it.)

If you eat like this,

- you don't need meat. - Right.

- You're right. - This is so delicious.

It fills your soul,

and it fills your satisfaction.

It was always on the table, but it was never my favorite.

To me, I love eating meat.

But it kind of makes me think, "Why do I eat meat?"

If we can have this every day,

there's no reason to eat meat at all.

Because you're getting the flavor of everything in that dish.

I can really eat like that every day...

and not eat meat.

(A Gangwon Province namul meal made him forget about meat.)

Gosh, this is good.

I made this because the potatoes were ripe.

Take a look. It's very chewy.

It already looks delicious.

(Excited)

(It tastes the best when you rip it with your hands.)

(Taking a bite of steamy potato pancake)

If you hadn't told me this was corn,

I would've thought that this was rice cake.

- It's potato. - It's potato.

- You thought it was... - But I thought it was...

- I'm all confused. - Chef.

- Calm down. - I'm confused.

Calm down. Please.

(Dad...)

(Who called me corn?)

I remember eating something like this...

- when I was young. - Really?

But with sugar...

- Sprinkled on top? - Yes.

What is that?

(What is that? Curious)

Are you talking about basi?

They have that in Chinese restaurants here.

With potato and sugar sprinkled on top...

It's kind of like mattang.

I remember something like this when I was a kid.

But it was Korean food.

- Oh, I'm so curious. - Jeonbyeong?

- It is similar to jeonbyeong. - Yes.

I have to ask my mother.

But I remember eating something...

I just have a feeling.

Wait. Isn't it...

- Isn't it? Right? - That.

But it was Korean food.

Oh, I'm so curious.

Jeonbyeong?

- It is similar to jeonbyeong. - Yes.

I have to ask my mother.

But I remember eating something...

I just have a feeling.

Wait. Isn't it hotteok?

- Isn't it hotteok? Right? - Hotteok!

- It was hotteok. - That's right.

- Seriously. - That's right.

(We need to make a tonic to clear Eddie's mind.)

You should dip it in here.

It'll taste like hotteok.

(Potato pancake plus sugar equals hotteok?)

- Right? It's good, right? - It's very accurate.

- This can't go wrong. - This can't go wrong.

Oh, yes.

(Oh, that's what I'm talking about!)

Mom.

Mom.

(Age 52 is that age when you miss your mom a lot.)

- Seriously. - Right.

(Ms. Kwon's cooking brought back memories for Eddie.)

- Thank you for the food. - Thank you for the food.

Perfect.

(The Country members started the day with a perfect breakfast.)

It's over there, right, Si A?

Yes, over there.

Kyun. Have you heard of a senior citizen center?

It's where grandmas and grandpas go to hang out.

We're going to go there to cook today.

Let's not cook and play Go-Stop instead.

I'd love to. But we're filming a show.

(Kyun, we're filming.)

I'd love to play.

(Why are the Country members going to the senior center to cook?)

- Thank you for coming today. - Thank you.

Since you're here,

you should teach us before you leave.

It's hard to find Western food here.

Since it's a countryside.

Since it's hard to find one, I want to learn how to cook one.

I'll do my best.

(Country members decided to teach them Western dishes.)

(Following the guest invitation project...)

(is Country members' first cooking class in Gangwon Province.)

(Walking proudly)

- Here we are. - Our trailer.

(Country members have nothing to fear when they are together.)

- Hi. - It's good to see you.

(Let's do this.)

- Let's go. - Great.

I feel nervous for some reason.

- Is it here? - Yes.

Okay.

(Will Country members' first cooking class be a success?)

Here you go.

(Shall we start preparing...)

This is where...

(in earnest?)

we'll be cooking.

- Kyun. - Yes?

- It's a karaoke machine. - Karaoke.

- We can play Go-Stop... - "Edward Lee's..."

- and everything else here. - "cooking class."

Okay.

What are you going to start with?

(He can't hold himself back from playing darts.)

(What are you doing?)

- Okay. - No playing.

I know. He's playing around already.

- Okay. - No playing.

I know. He's playing around already.

Kyun, you should...

give each of us a mission.

Okay. We should set up the tables.

- Sure. - Yes.

- First... - Set up the tables.

- Like this? - Yes.

- All right. - Do we need anything...

from the trailer?

- We'll bring the ingredients... - The ingredients.

From the trailer.

- Potatoes, cheese, - Potatoes, cheese,

- chestnuts, - flour,

- eggs, - eggs,

- pumpkin, - pumpkin,

- and chestnuts. - and chestnuts.

- Lots of butter. - Lots of it?

- Lots of it. - Lots of butter. Okay.

Okay.

- Then let's go. - Let's go.

Then...

(The trustworthy older guy...)

(and the reliable younger guy...)

(start setting up the tables indoors!)

Shall we open it?

(They are on their way to get the ingredients.)

Our reliable trailer.

- It's really reliable. - Did you keep our food safely?

Eggs.

(Working hard)

- Today... - A lot of people are coming.

- Let's take them all. - Okay.

Pumpkin and olive oil.

Okay.

(Both hands full of ingredients)

(A Sung and Si A move quickly to get everything ready fast.)

(Opening wide)

Thank you.

(They work well together now.)

(Nicely-aligned cutlery)

Okay.

I'll go first.

(They prepare the ingredients quickly.)

(By the time they're done with the preparations, )

(Jeongseon's three sisters make an appearance.)

It's cold.

(They cautiously walk in with something in their hands.)

I shouldn't have asked them to do this yesterday.

(They are basic cooking appliances, )

(such as frying pans and cutting boards, from home.)

- Hello. - Hello.

Are they here already?

(Taking a peek)

- Hello. - Hello.

- Did you sleep well? - Hello.

Do I sit there?

(Goodness, they prepared a lot.)

- Where should I sit? - Sit wherever you like.

- Sit at any table. - Yes.

(The other students of the cooking class, )

(Gangwon Province's mountain men)

What's this?

I have no idea.

- What's this? - Is there something inside?

(He puts the trailer in its place with a kick.)

(Charismatic)

(Something feels foreboding.)

Gosh, it's cold.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hello.

(Welcome, sirs.)

Welcome.

You brought a huge pot.

- Is it too big? - No, it's just nice.

(Feeling nervous)

(Walking on eggshells)

(The three sisters and the mountain men...)

(all take their seats.)

Look, they brought nice aprons.

Look at that apron.

How cute.

(He may seem cold on the outside, )

(but he is an adorable man who looks great in a yellow apron.)

Okay. Are you ready?

- Yes. - Yes.

Okay, let's start.

Everyone, thank you for coming.

- Thank you for having us. - Thank you.

Thank you for coming.

- Today, we'll make gnocchi. - This...

Potato gnocchi.

(Yo Han is the main translator...)

Yes.

(and in charge of miscellaneous jobs.)

(A Sung is the gentlemen's assistant teacher.)

(Si A is the ladies' assistant teacher.)

Today, we'll make gnocchi.

Potato gnocchi pasta.

Today, we'll make potato gnocchi.

(Gno...)

(cchi?)

Potato noki?

- Gnocchi. - Yoki, I see.

I might have seen it on TV once.

Or have I?

Ramyeon is the only dish I can cook.

I came here because a famous chef...

from overseas came to teach us how to cook.

Have you tried gnocchi before?

I've never cooked one at home.

This is a countryside,

so it's hard.

It's an Italian pasta...

but with potatoes, flour, and eggs in the mix.

We'll make a dough.

So I wanted to show them something new,

especially using their potatoes.

They're so used to eating their potatoes in one way.

I wanted to show them a new way to use their potatoes...

and just give them a different feel. A different flavor.

(Edward Lee wants them to try a new flavor with the potatoes.)

(Potato gnocchi class just for the seniors...)

(in Gangwon Province starts.)

Okay, let's start. Take a potato.

Take a potato.

You need to make it short.

Make a shallow cut.

Let's take the skin off.

Remove the skin.

(Potato gnocchi recipe 1: Remove the boiled potato skin.)

Remove the skin?

(That's easy!)

(These two are in a team.)

Do it first.

You must cook a lot.

(Her eyes are fixed on Eddie.)

(Just me?)

Yes, that's right.

Peel it and put it here.

Just remove the skin first.

Where do I put the skin?

In the bowl in front of you.

(So far, making gnocchi isn't hard for the mountain men either.)

(She spots something.)

(Glancing again)

Look, he's peeling it with a knife.

(Laughing)

(Telling on her friend who is using a knife to peel a boiled potato)

- It's delicious. - Is it?

Yes.

The potatoes were harvested by him.

Thank you.

Now, show us how pretty your peeled potato looks.

Yes.

Show me your potato.

(Shy)

(Show me what?)

(Does he mean the potato?)

- Cut it just a bit. - Cut half.

Cut it into pieces.

Cut it into cubes.

(Potato gnocchi recipe 2: Cut the peeled potato into cubes.)

We're going to take our masher.

And we're going to mash it.

(Potato gnocchi recipe 3: Mash the cut potato.)

Tell them.

It's important to go fast.

You don't want the potato to cool down.

The potato has to stay warm.

You need to mash it when it's still warm.

Let's mash it quickly.

(The teacher demonstrates by mashing it fast.)

Mash it very fast.

(Enthusiastic students also start to mash it fast.)

Do it fast.

(Enthusiastic students also start to mash it fast.)

Okay, let's go.

Like this. Show them.

- Like this. Can you see? - Like this.

Okay.

(It needs to be mashed finely like this!)

(Look at mine.)

That's good. That's how you do it.

Just like that.

The skin isn't coming off easily.

(Mashing, fast, Slicing, average speed, )

(Peeling, very slow)

Let me help you.

- Thank you. - No worries.

(Let me help you!)

(A Sung kindly helps the senior who is a bit slow.)

Mash it fast.

(Surprised)

(Thanks to the assistant teachers, they finish mashing the potatoes.)

Next up is eggs.

Next, we'll add the eggs.

Look here.

One whole egg.

The other one, just the yolk.

One whole egg?

One whole egg and one egg yolk.

It requires some skill.

Okay.

Add just the yolk for the second egg.

- One whole egg and one yolk. - One yolk.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

(His pride splatters with the yolk.)

I prepared this...

- Thank you. - just in case.

In case you have trouble separating just the yolk...

and it hurts your pride, I prepared more eggs in advance.

So don't feel pressured.

I got my yolk separated.

- You did it at once. - Yes.

If the egg yolk doesn't separate...

(This senior who can only cook ramyeon...)

(separates the yolk from the white smoothly.)

Okay.

(Ms. Kwon Young Won does it perfectly too.)

This...

Here, the yolk.

Onto the potato?

- We'll add flour now. - Flour.

This is flour.

- One big scoop. - One.

One big spoonful.

(Potato gnocchi recipe 5: Add 3 spoons of flour.)

Two, three.

Three spoons.

All right, now.

This is the most important part.

This is the most important part.

We're going to mix this.

Don't use your palms.

Just your fingers.

When you mix it, only use your fingers.

Very gently.

Don't use your palms.

- Just use your fingers. - Just the fingers. Okay.

You must be very gentle.

Like you're seasoning namul.

As if you're seasoning vegetables...

or playing with clay.

(If it becomes sticky, you've successfully made the dough!)

- You're good at this. - Am I?

You're doing so well.

(The two top students push ahead.)

- Darn it. - Stop it.

(Flustered)

They all just stick to my hand.

It's too watery.

(It should become like this.)

Let me see.

(In the end, the teacher leaves his seat.)

Like this.

If it's too soft, add more flour.

It's a bit watery now,

so let's add a bit more flour.

Shall we try it?

- Just a bit more flour. - Okay.

You need a bit more flour.

- We need more flour. - A bit more.

- That's enough. - Me too.

Coming.

(And here's a man who fell into the swamp of dough.)

Is it too watery?

- What? - Is it watery?

It's all sticking to my hands.

(The savior arrives.)

I'll help you out a bit.

(He regains his smile.)

The remaining flour goes on the cutting board.

Pour the remaining flour on your cutting board.

- And then... - Next...

(It's time to shape the gnocchi.)

(Make it as square as possible.)

Okay, now, I'm going to show you a trick.

- Look here. - Ready?

- After you make a dough... - One.

- Two. - Two times.

Like that, and...

press it again.

(Press it down hard.)

(Pressing)

- Yes. - That's right.

- Fold it to the side. - Like this?

And now,

- cut it into three pieces. - Next,

cut it into three pieces.

(Glancing)

Cut it into three pieces.

(He takes a quick glance and follows it immediately.)

- You're doing great. - That's great.

That's awesome.

(Making gnocchi is the easiest.)

What was it just now?

Good job. Next, cut it into three pieces.

Cut it with a knife.

Are you ready for the next step?

They're still doing it.

You're going too fast.

- We're falling behind. - We'll do it for 30 seconds.

Please hold on.

(Chef, you need to slow down. The students are complaining.)

- It's a bit fast, isn't it? - Yes.

I'm sorry.

- And then take one. - Hold on, Kyun.

Slow down.

- Okay. - Okay. You're doing great so far.

- Good job. And... - Take one...

put the two pieces aside.

It needs to harden.

- I'll put it aside. - Okay.

I'll clean the cutting board.

(Cleaning up after the students)

We'll work on the pumpkin now.

She's doing... That's the best.

He says the lady in the middle is doing best.

Sir, would you like another plate?

Here you go.

Kyun, check the water.

Does everyone have a pumpkin?

Here, tell them.

Around this big.

They need to be even in size.

Can you see it?

Just like five pieces.

(Sighing)

This is way too hard.

I told him to go slowly.

He couldn't wait for them to taste it.

He seemed very excited.

- And then... - Next.

- Gently... - Wait.

Wait a bit.

I know how you feel.

Now, we'll knead the remaining third piece.

(Do what?)

Roll it thinly.

Keep rolling it until it becomes thin.

Keep rolling it.

Make it long.

- Keep rolling it. - Like a snake.

(I see.)

(Thanks to Eddie and Yo Han's lesson...)

- Like a snake. - Like a snake.

- Keep rolling it. - Just keep rolling it.

Make it long like a snake.

(They successfully hunt 6 snakes.)

(Country members' cooking class is back on track.)

Okay, next up. Now, we're going to make gnocchi.

Cut it into equal-sized pieces.

(He is doing great. He can cook gnocchi on top of ramyeon now.)

You've made this before, haven't you?

- This? No. - You're really good at it.

- I'm not. - You're really good.

You're great with a knife.

You sure cook often.

You weren't lying when you said that.

(Compliments make grandpas dance.)

As they made potato gnocchi for the first time,

they had so much fun...

and were fascinated by it.

I personally found it very lovely.

You're doing great, ma'am.

The tip isn't pretty, so let's put it aside.

(Approaching)

Does it look strange?

Not at all. It's so pretty.

You look amazing today.

You're so beautiful.

I see, you're beautiful every day.

(How sweet of him.)

Next, we'll work on the pumpkin.

Just take your spoon.

Take a little piece.

Like this, take one scoop each, starting from the edge.

Put it down like how you did with the dough.

For the chestnuts, cut them in half.

Cut the chestnuts in half.

(This is easy.)

(Pumpkins and chestnuts are easily done.)

- It's easy if you use your hands. - Okay.

Does everybody have this one ready?

(Put pumpkin, chestnuts, and butter, and you're ready for gnocchi!)

Okay. Ready?

- Let's keep going. - Is everyone ready?

- Yes. - Then we'll keep going.

Let's check. Everybody's water should be boiling.

Is everyone's water boiling?

(Checking the temperature)

And we're going to think about it.

Once we start,

it will be a mess.

When we put this in, it will become a mess.

(It will become a mess?)

And when the gnocchi floats...

When the gnocchi floats...

We'll wait one minute.

We'll wait one minute.

And we can take it out.

- We can take it out. - We'll take it out immediately.

After taking it out, do I put it in here?

(Do I put it in the frying pan after taking it out?)

But you can't leave the gnocchi in the water for too long...

or it's going to fall apart.

You must be quick.

Wait. Let us take deep breaths first.

I think we were taking deep breaths for this.

Hold it in your hand and get yourselves ready.

(The seniors become serious too.)

- Let's start now. Please focus. - Are you ready?

Hold your plate.

Ma'am. Let's try.

Hold your plate.

- Open the lid. - Ready?

- Let's do it together. - We'll all put it in together.

- In 1, 2, 3. - In 1, 2, 3.

Put it in.

Put it in quickly.

At once.

Now, give it one stir with your spoon.

Stir it once with your spoon so it doesn't stick to the pot.

Stir it with your spoon.

With a spoon.

Stir it for one minute so it doesn't stick.

It shouldn't get stuck.

Is this cooked?

I think this is cooked.

(Put the frying pan with pumpkin, chestnuts, and butter on the stove!)

Did the butter melt thoroughly?

Use the sieve. Add them all at once.

Take them out with a sieve and put them in at once.

(What's important now?)

(Being speedy!)

(She shakes off the water.)

Think of it as frying it with butter.

You're doing so well.

(Gnocchi has finally moved into the pan.)

That looks great.

It may seem a bit oily.

- Yes, like this. - But...

(Cook it thoroughly so it doesn't get burned.)

In a way, you deep-fry it.

Look at him. He's so good.

(I am Jeongseon Matfia!)

(He's pretty good.)

Copy him.

I'll just do this.

And right before we finish,

one more time.

- When everything is cooked well, - Salt.

- you add salt. - This...

(Everyone, focus!)

Make a cool pose while you do it.

(Copying his friend)

Add salt like this.

Make a cool pose.

(Look at me, I'm cool.)

- That's good. - That's it.

You look so cool.

Lift your arm higher.

(A wrist snap for the gnocchi. Perfect.)

(He's cooler than me!)

Try this.

Put your arm up high.

- Beautiful. - Nice.

Last one.

Crown daisy.

(The final ingredient, crown daisy)

Add it from above.

We'll cook it together.

And it's finished.

(Add salt and crown daisy and stir-fry it, and it's done.)

Crown daisy gets soggy quickly,

so plate it after stir-frying it once.

If your gnocchi is cooked, that is.

(Crown daisy cooks fast, so plate it nicely and quickly!)

That's right.

(The seniors can do it without looking at him now.)

Gosh, it's beautiful.

(Is it really their first time? It looks surprisingly delicious.)

- Okay, the final step. - The final step.

Cheese.

Pick up the cheese.

Add cheese as little or as much as you want.

Add as much cheese as you like.

I like a lot of cheese.

(He adds a generous amount.)

Sir, do you like cheese?

- Do you like cheese? - Yes, I like it.

Then you can add a lot.

(Gangwon Province's cheese lover adds a lot too.)

(I just want a little.)

(They add cheese as much as they like.)

- She's professional. - She's really good.

The best.

- My gosh. - Here.

You're a pro.

They said I did it better than the chef.

It makes me really happy.

(Gnocchi, the perfect food she found after 70 years)

The chef went too fast,

so catching up with him was tough.

I give myself an 80 out of 100.

(20 points is his will to improve.)

It was the first in my entire life.

I will forever remember this moment.

I better try cooking it at home...

for my wife.

I didn't know this could be made with potatoes.

It was a valuable class.

I found it interesting and fun.

(You're not the potato I knew.)

(An unforgettable cooking class, Everyone's potato gnocchi)

(What does the gnocchi taste like to the elders?)

What's that?

Let's try it.

- All right. - Let's do it.

Lastly,

- taste what you have made. - Okay.

It's the most important moment.

(A cute bite)

(Eating like the chef)

Shouldn't we share it?

But, it's...

Try it.

(How does their first gnocchi taste?)

(Curious)

(Nervous)

(Will they like it?)

(What do you think?)

(Thinking)

How is it?

(Will the elders like...)

(the Western-style gnocchi?)

It's delicious.

(Eating)

It's delicious.

(Smiling brightly)

It's good.

You should make it for your wife.

Right?

(I'll get brownie points from my wife.)

May I try it?

- It's good. - It's delicious.

It's good.

- I want to taste it. - It's so good.

- May I try one? - Go ahead.

- We made it well. - It's good.

- It's so delicious. - Because...

the potatoes are high-quality,

you can really taste the potatoes.

(Gangwon province potatoes and their cooking skills are art.)

(Gangwon Province potatoes are the best.)

Really. The best one.

Making this today was chaotic, wasn't it?

Gosh, yes.

- But they turned out great, right? - Yes.

The butter makes it much better.

- Isn't it savory? - Yes.

- It's good, right? - You cooked it well.

It turned out great.

Even though I made it, it turned out amazing.

May I try it too?

Thank you.

- It's so good, chef. - I agree.

Isn't it good?

(Amazed)

(Eating)

(Impressed)

Isn't it quite simple to make?

- After all, you know how to cook. - It's simple...

and good.

I can make it at home, now that I know the recipe.

Yes. Will you remember it?

- Yes. - Good.

It's quite easy.

- I'll make sure to make it. - Okay.

Thank you.

(The first cooking class left everyone happy.)

His daughter-in-law is a teacher.

An English teacher.

- So he must be good at this. - Really?

He's an English teacher.

Can you tell us how the dish is in English?

I can't speak English.

I can't.

(Everyone lived different lives, )

(but they all came together with a delicious dish.)

What's interesting is that...

they never made gnocchi before.

But they understand the flavor.

They do it their own way.

And they all came out a little different.

They were so happy to taste the food,

and they thought it was delicious.

Seeing them smile,

and have a good time, and enjoy themselves.

That's what it's all about.

Everyone who came said it was spectacular.

It was a first for them.

They were going to cook it for their daughter-in-law and children.

Everyone loved it.

My daughter-in-law is an English teacher.

When she visits, I plan to show off my skills...

in making a Western dish.

It was a fun class.

Even though I made it, it was still good.

It was chewy and soft.

I really enjoyed it. It was very good.

(Chef Edward Lee is the best.)

For following along so well in class,

thank you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Thank you.

(The first cooking class in Jeongseon...)

We enjoyed the class. Thank you.

(wrapped up well with everyone feeling warm inside.)

- Great work. - Great work.

(Soon)

(After the eventful day in Jeongseon, )

(the Country members go through...)

(Screaming)

(Oh, no!)

(In fear)

(What's this? What's going on?)

(Serious)

(What happened to the Country members?)

(1 hour ago)

Have you fished in winter, Kyun?

Only one time. It was ice fishing.

- Do you know ice fishing? - I do.

- Because you like fishing, - Yes?

Yo Han came up with a plan to go fishing.

Fishing is fun.

(Already excited)

(For the famous fish lover Eddie, )

(the Country members decided to go winter fishing.)

(His daughter, Arden)

None of you have fished in winter, right?

- No. - I've never fished before.

Really?

This will be my first time winter fishing.

Let's give it a shot today.

- Okay. - We'll see what fish we can catch.

Who...

The biggest fish.

- Who'll catch it? - Yes.

How about we make a bet?

- On who'll catch the biggest fish? - Yes.

Yes.

- Fishing without a bet is boring. - True.

(He's getting competitive.)

What's the reward?

How about this? The prize is Chef's special recipe.

How about this?

(Si A's bold suggestion)

- Nice. - Okay.

- I'm in. - Yes.

I'm going to do my best.

Same here.

I was a fisherman in "The Book of Fish."

I know about fish.

(Either way, I'll come in 1st place.)

(Who will be the winner of today's showdown?)

(The emerald-colored sea unfolds before their eyes.)

(The place that will offer the members another taste.)

(Gangneung Port, Gangwon Province's fishing port)

(The East Sea is a must for fishers fishing in winter!)

(Gangneung is especially known for cod fishing.)

It's 2m long.

(Cod: Commonly caught along the East Sea in winter)

(Known for its exceptionally light and clean taste)

- All right. Shall we get off? - Let's do it.

(Will the members catch fish?)

A Welsh Corgi.

Hi.

- Hi, buddy. - It's a puppy.

- It's so cute. - Hi.

- He's full of cuteness. - Who are you?

Come here. Give me a kiss.

- He loves people. - Give me a kiss.

Give me a kiss.

(Charging at her)

Goodness.

(Both of them are cute.)

I want to keep it.

(Loving her nonstop)

Gosh, your hat.

How cute.

Stop playing around. We have work to do.

Okay. Let's go.

We have fish to catch.

(Catch a big one!)

It's the sea.

(They arrive at the battlefield.)

- Be careful. - Okay.

It's nice.

Take a seat. We're sailing off.

(The boat has left!)

Let's go.

Do you get seasick?

Do you, Yo Han?

I'm okay. I barely get motion sickness.

Is that so?

(Then...)

- You do, don't you, A Sung? - I'm a sailor.

Really?

- She has a yacht. - I have a yacht license.

- For real? - Yes.

(A Sung has a yacht license.)

(Front Runner Number 1, Ko A Sung)

I haven't felt this in a while.

(The calmness of a sailor)

I used to be a fisherman.

But I've realized something.

I think I like the motion sickness.

I'm enjoying this feeling.

(A master doesn't speak up.)

(Will Eddie's special recipe be protected...)

(or stolen?)

All right, we've come to the spot.

Please come to the bow of the boat.

The waves are too rough.

(The waves are rougher than expected.)

Do people fish in these waves?

- Of course. - Gosh.

I'll teach you how to fish first.

- Lock the ring on top of the metal. - Okay.

- Lock it. - Okay.

What about the float?

- And the bait. Do we not use one? - This is the bait.

- Really? - Yes.

It looks so cool.

- The cod will see this metal... - It won't be a hassle.

And bite the hook.

- Let me give you a demonstration. - Okay.

If the fishing line stops going down,

- it has reached the bottom. - Okay.

Once it's down, move the rod up and down.

- Okay. - Up and down.

That's how you get the feel of the fish, right?

(Fishing has officially started.)

(Who will catch the biggest fish?)

(Candidate 1: A Sung, a yacht license holder)

(Candidate 2: Eddie, Kentucky's fishing king)

(Getting started with his face)

(Candidate 3: Yo Han, the fishing king in a movie)

(Candidate 4: Si A, a rookie fisher)

Captain. Does it feel heavy when the fish bites the bait?

Yes, it is.

I think I've caught something.

(Yo Han already felt something?)

Hold on.

Why?

(Keeping in check)

Hold on.

My rod is bent right now.

(Yo Han's rod is bending like a bow.)

You got something?

(Glancing)

That's just the weight of the rod.

The weight of the metal.

So it has to feel heavier?

(That was short-lived.)

Over here! A hit!

- What? - Really?

A hit! Okay!

Over here! A hit!

- What? - Really?

A hit! Okay!

- A hit! - Really?

(It's Sailor A Sung!)

This right here.

A big one's coming!

Hang on.

Slowly.

She caught one.

Slowly. You're going too fast.

It's heavy.

(The fish on the line is heavy.)

(She actually caught one?)

Slowly. You're almost there.

(What did A Sung catch?)

Stop.

Okay. Release the line.

Okay.

It's big.

It's a big one.

(A Sung has successfully caught a cod!)

Cod!

(Current in 1st place with a cod around 50cm)

My motion sickness is bad.

(Forget about the hit and whatnot.)

(Si A wants to go back to land.)

If your motion sickness is too bad,

- you can stay inside. - Okay.

(Will the rookie fisher Si A...)

Gosh.

(give up like this?)

(Si A might end up like a cod.)

(Swaying)

(Suffering from motion sickness, and not from fishing cod)

(Si A has left the fishing showdown.)

(Currently in 1st place with a cod around 50cm)

(Eliminated due to motion sickness)

(Aiming for a bigger fish)

(Wrinkling his brows out of desperation)

Hold on.

(Maybe not?)

I think I've caught something.

(You too, Yo Han?)

My rod is bent right now.

(Is it a real cod this time?)

You got something?

No. Not yet.

(Deluding himself of the sensation)

(I've got nowhere to back down to now.)

(20 minutes later)

(Gangwon Province's winter sea is minus 8°C.)

(Eddie is fighting alone against the Korean winter sea.)

(30 minutes later)

I was a fisherman in a movie.

When it comes to fishing, it's about who is more patient.

(Fishing is a battle of patience.)

(I must win in the fight against me.)

(40 minutes later)

(The two men have yet to feel the thrill of fishing.)

(Their pride is on the line now.)

(Who will win this battle?)

I think I've got something.

Did you catch one?

(He caught one?)

Really?

(Eddie winds up the fishing rod.)

(Yo Han is starting to become impatient.)

(Full of confidence)

Okay.

It's coming.

It's coming.

Really?

(Something has been caught!)

- Really. - Chef must've caught one.

- It's coming. - He caught one.

Over here!

(The result of being patient is catching a cod.)

Give me a net.

- It's a big one. - Gosh.

- It's big. - Over here.

(It's huge even at a glance.)

- Okay. - Okay.

(A big catch)

Nice!

Oh, my gosh. It's beautiful.

(Sulking)

(The dignity of a fishing master)

(See this, Yo Han?)

(He caught a huge cod during his first Korean winter fishing.)

(Feeling jealous)

(Congratulations!)

Okay. Come on.

From the bottom... All of a sudden, I felt it.

(It felt amazing.)

(It's much bigger than A Sung's, even at a glance.)

(Currently in 1st place with a cod around 1m)

(Currently in 2nd place with a cod around 50cm)

(Eliminated due to motion sickness)

(I'm the only one without a cod.)

(However, Yo Han never gives up.)

(1 hour later)

(The fishing king hasn't given up on his dream.)

(At that moment)

(Shouting)

(A cod has finally come to me!)

It's been an hour. What will become of my hour-long patience?

It's heavy. What if it's a whale?

I caught one!

(It's quite small.)

(Why is this happening to me?)

Strike a pose.

(It's cold. Let's go back.)

I've caught a Spanish mackerel.

- Cod. - A cod.

It's because of my motion sickness.

(Blaming his motion sickness)

(Eddie wins with an overwhelmingly big fish!)

I don't want to brag too much,

but I caught the biggest one.

Yo Han is a fisherman.

I'm sorry, but he's also an actor.

He was playing a fisherman.

I'm a real fisherman.

So that's what he said.

As Korea is a country of courteous people,

I fished...

while respecting the elders.

Even when I felt the fish pulling my rod, I waited.

I waited until Kyun caught one.

To think he'd be happy.

(I'm fine as long as Kyun is happy.)

(After the 3rd day which was choppy like the waves...)

(The Country members returned to their house...)

(after the intense fishing battle.)

(A simple joy in life that will melt their cold bodies)

How many cups of coffee do we make?

- Let's make four. - Okay.

See?

(Spilling)

(Surprised)

- Okay. - It was too...

The hot water got messy.

After fishing, pouring water over food is a must.

(Laughing)

Spilling water is the norm. It's okay.

Everyone did a great job today.

Coffee?

(Cheers.)

(Is this the taste of winning?)

(Drinking)

(Drinking)

This is what you call K-coffee.

Gosh, it's good.

It's warm.

This is perfect for the freezing winter.

- You're right. - Nothing can beat this.

(Drinking to the last drop)

(Amazed)

It has a special taste.

- I like it. - Right.

(Thumbs-up)

(After enjoying a cup of coffee)

(the house is quiet.)

(Snoring)

(Cooking class, Winter fishing, )

(Namul, Millstone)

(Getting a good nap)

(Recharging from the motion sickness and cold)

(1 lonely person)

(They take a break in their own way.)

(Remember? Eddie's Country Cook recipe appears after the sun sets.)

(When the calm moonlight shines upon the house, )

(Eddie's time begins.)

(The friendly-looking guy appears.)

(What shall we have for dinner?)

(Scratching)

(He picks out ingredients after scanning the fridge.)

(Eddie starts cooking for...)

(the Country members who must be tired.)

(The cheerful chopping sound makes the mouth water.)

(What's today's dish that will soothe the tiresome day?)

(A Sung is up.)

It's a hard day.

(Totally.)

How about I make steak...

and you make ramyeon?

- Ramyeon? - Yes. We'll make steak and ramyeon.

It's really great. Sounds great.

(The simple dishes they can cook with confidence, steak and ramyeon)

For dinner, I wanted to make steak.

We had a rough day.

So I thought, "Let's just make it easy."

(Country members' restorative meal, Steak and ramyeon)

(Which ramyeon should I make?)

(Which ingredient did A Sung choose to make ramyeon?)

- Gosh. This kimchi has ripened. - Yes.

(The well-ripened young radish kimchi brought by Si A)

- Do you want to try it? - Yes, please.

(Shaking)

My hands are shaking.

(The aftermath of the rough fishing in the winter sea)

I feel bad.

Si A said it was her first time fishing.

She caught no fish.

She's never going to go fishing again.

Never again.

(Si A had a bad motion sickness the whole time.)

- It's good. - Yes.

She brought very nice kimchi.

Usually, I put the soup of kkakdugi, the radish kimchi,

in ramyeon.

Si A brought young radish kimchi,

so I thought it'd be nice to use it for ramyeon.

That was the ramyeon I was making.

(A Sung has chosen to make young radish kimchi ramyeon.)

(Smiling like a dad)

You're doing it fancily. Look at you.

What are you making?

- You know what? - What?

- You made me like this. - Okay.

Ramyeon can become special too.

After cooking next to you for some time,

ramyeon turns into something special.

- We'll see today. - Yes.

(Yo Han is back from his walk.)

Gosh.

- Hello. - Welcome back.

Do you need help? What should I do?

Is there something I can do?

First, you can...

Will you slice this really thinly?

- I'll try. - Into cubes.

(Yo Han receives a mission.)

(Chop the young radish kimchi.)

(Yo Han's cutting skill is better than expected.)

You're so good at chopping.

- No. Is it good enough? - Yes.

(What? He's good at chopping.)

- For me, - Yes?

Cooking started as a hobby.

And then it turned into a job.

Sometimes, when it becomes your job,

- Yes? - it can be burdening, boring,

- and stressful. - Yes.

But I still love cooking like this.

- It's still my favorite thing. - Okay.

Cooking for a restaurant is different.

I love cooking at home.

I see.

(It's a relaxing time for Eddie.)

What mushroom is that?

These? King oyster mushrooms.

(Si A who has struggled all day due to motion sickness)

Aren't those button mushrooms?

Today, take it easy.

- Okay. - We'll cook for you.

No. I'm okay now.

No.

- Edward will cook steak. - I want to help.

- Goodness. - We just need to cook ramyeon.

I don't want ramyeon as a meal. I want it as a dish.

- A ramyeon dish. - It's ramyeon but a dish.

Then should we make two different ramyeons...

separately?

- Two different ramyeons? Fancy. - Yes. Should we make...

ramyeon with pollack roe, garlic, and scallions?

When you have ramyeon in Korea, how do you cook it?

We have various ways.

It depends on your preference.

- Are you okay? - Yes.

Chef, you look...

(Eddie looks haggard.)

Why? What happened?

It's nothing.

You don't look so well.

(Frank Si A)

Right now? Is it puffy?

- I think it's because you're tired. - Right. Because I'm tired.

Today, I'll make restorative ramyeon...

that will blow your fatigue away.

It'll be appeasing.

- Please look forward to it. - That sounds delicious.

It's my first time making it, though.

But I'm bursting with ideas right now.

(A Sung starts to focus on cooking the ramyeon dish too.)

I'll do the dishes right away.

Okay.

It feels like we're more relaxed now.

(Yo Han assists 3 chefs.)

(By the way, do you hear something delicious?)

(It's the sound of onions getting sauteed.)

- Are you caramelizing it? - Yes. Onions.

- Do you like it? - Yes. I love it.

Oh, my gosh.

- It's for the steak. - Slowly. Yes. With the steak.

- Yes. - You have to do it slowly.

And stir all the time.

(Here's the recipe for onion garnish that requires Eddie's long effort!)

(Garnish:)

(The food added for decoration to emphasize the shape and color...)

(of the main dish and to make it tastier.)

(First, sautee the onions until they turn brown over low heat.)

(A piece of butter)

(A drizzle of soy sauce)

(A spoonful of gochujang)

(A drizzle of vinegar)

(A little bit of salt)

(Then sautee them with care.)

(Lastly, add white wine to bring out the flavors.)

It looks like jeotgal.

(The first garnish)

(Caramelized onions that look like jeotgal)

(It looks good.)

(Do you want to see something that looks better?)

Okay. Yes.

I'll show you my secret weapon.

He taught us such an unforgettable sauce.

(The secret ingredient that shocked everyone)

(Eddie's secret weapon: Pickled garlic)

(All you need are pickled garlic...)

(and water.)

(Eddie grabs a hand blender.)

- Do you blend it? - Yes.

- I want to see... - Do you want me to hold it?

- Yes. - this technique.

(Is he blending the pickled garlic with the hand blender?)

- I've never seen such a thing. - Exactly.

I always liked pickled garlic.

But blending it...

is something I've never thought of before.

I thought, "He surely is a cooking genius."

Taste it.

(Savoring)

(Dilated pupils)

- Is it good? - Goodness.

It's so good.

- It's so tasty. - Seriously.

(It's so magical that it weakens her knees.)

- It's so tasty. - It's so good.

When I go back to Seoul,

and even when this show is over,

I'm going to make it again.

For anything I want flavors, I add this.

Like in risotto, I add a little bit of this.

- To add a tang? - It can be used for everything.

It gives it that flavor.

It's my favorite.

(When you add soy sauce to blended pickled garlic...)

(The second garnish: All-purpose pickled garlic sauce)

(The third garnish:)

(Curry cauliflower with ramyeon)

(The 3 types of garnish for steak are ready.)

Perfect.

(Team Ramyeon can't lose!)

Why are you peeling garlic, Si A?

I want to make ramyeon with squid, pollack roe, and garlic.

When I was in Goseong, I watched the sea...

while eating squid ramyeon, and it was lovely.

I thought it'd be nice for Chef to have that experience too.

That was why I went for it.

(Reinterpreting the taste from her memories)

(How will Si A's ramyeon with squid, pollack roe, and garlic taste?)

I'm going to make white ramyeon.

White ramyeon?

Yes. White ramyeon.

I've never heard that before.

It's a recipe I just came up with.

So it might not taste good.

After sauteeing pollack roe and garlic,

are you going to put them on ramyeon in the end?

- Not necessarily. - Then how?

- That sounds good, though. - What?

- It sounds good. - You can caramelize it first.

Then add water.

- Cook ramyeon and finish it... - It sounds good.

With the pollack roe.

It sounds good.

- I sautee garlic first? - Yes.

It's a great idea.

Do you want me to sautee it?

- No, I'm good. - I have nothing to do.

- Really? You can sautee it, then. - Do you want me to take a break?

Well. Do you want to lie down?

(Appealing enthusiastically)

In that case, sautee the garlic over low heat...

so it won't get burned.

(Garlic)

(Peperoncino)

(Chicken stock)

We'll add some whole peppercorns to add aroma.

Okay.

(Whole peppercorns)

Gosh. You're adding your hand's flavor to it.

It feels about right.

Should we sautee squid in it too?

- I'll add it, then. - Okay.

(He adds the main ingredient, squid.)

(Looking dangerous)

I'll do it.

- Thank you. - For the...

(A kind brother who takes care of the younger sibling)

Is this thick enough?

It's perfect.

I love it.

(After getting compliments, he chops it more cheerfully.)

(These are scallions.)

Did you learn to chop from somewhere?

- Well, I'm old. - You're good at it.

(Humble)

(We'll add the onions and cabbage too.)

(In addition, add pollack roe and butter.)

(Add fish sauce to amplify the seafood aroma!)

(Add salt to your preference.)

Chef, can you tell me what I should add?

(Checking Si A's ramyeon)

- How is it? - Good.

(White ramyeon soup is simmering.)

(Si A's ramyeon will be ready once she puts in the noodles.)

(Bored)

(Yo Han's hands have nothing to do.)

- Will you try sauteeing this? - Okay.

Just this without the chilis.

(A Sung gave Yo Han a new mission.)

Just the radish.

(Yo Han got a job again.)

Hold on.

(Let's sautee the diced young radish kimchi.)

- I'll sautee it like you told me. - Okay.

- I'll add a little bit of sugar. - Okay.

(Adding sugar)

Let's see what you're doing. Okay.

(Adding sesame oil)

Gosh. You're doing great.

You've sauteed some kimchi before, I see.

It already smells so good.

- The smell of sauteed kimchi. - Actually, when you sautee kimchi,

it just can't go wrong.

- That's right. - Yes.

(Adding the soup from young radish kimchi)

(Adding sauteed young radish kimchi)

(It's not a secret that they put in 2 packets of ramyeon seasoning.)

(Sipping)

How does it taste?

Gosh. It's spicy.

Is it?

(Si A's radar is on.)

I'll add more of it.

- What? What is it? Sprite? - In case it's too spicy.

Thank you.

(The Country Sisters are sweet to each other again today.)

- Is it refreshing? - It's tasty.

- Edward? - Yes?

Would you try this one?

(Requesting help from the main chef, Eddie)

Do you have any idea about what to add?

- For the ramyeon broth? - Yes.

- Yes. It's good. - Good?

Yes. Maybe just cook it a little more.

- Okay. - Yes. Make it more intense.

- Yes. - Thank you.

(The ramyeon broth is ready after getting advice from Eddie.)

Should I start cooking steak?

- Yes, please. - Yes.

- If I do it, - I think it'd be okay.

It'll take five minutes to finish.

- Okay. - I think we're good.

- We're almost done too. - I've got five minutes left too.

Okay. Perfect.

- You can start. - Okay.

(Edward's specialty, steak)

(We get to see it before our eyes!)

(Seasoning the meat before cooking is the key to meat dishes.)

(Observing directly)

Sugar?

(My mistake.)

- What should I do? - Actually, I like it even better.

Should I wash it?

(Let's wash it quickly.)

I love it sweet too.

- Thank you. - It's all right.

It's because of the seasickness.

Motion sickness can really mess people up.

I thought, "That's how creative he is."

"Sugar?"

What do you want me to do?

- Me? - Can I help you with anything?

- Well, I'm good. - Are you good?

- You're all ready? - I'm waiting to meet the time.

Good.

(Salt)

(Pepper)

Here's the steak.

(Here comes the steak.)

(Focused)

Is it okay to cook steak a bit rare?

- Yes. I love it. - It doesn't matter to me.

I love to have it rare.

It won't be too rare but a little bit.

(Depending on how much you cook it, its taste and texture change.)

(Eddie's steak looks perfectly cooked.)

(What is Eddie putting on it?)

Gosh. This is it.

- Gosh. This must be... - Nice.

(A generous amount of the pickled garlic sauce)

(Let's watch Eddie's cooking for a while.)

(It's exciting to imagine the feast of flavors in your mouth.)

(Korean beef steak with Eddie's 3 special garnishes)

I've never cooked ramyeon with so much care in my life.

(The newbie chefs' ramyeon dishes are about to be done too.)

(As for A Sung's ramyeon, )

(the spicy and red broth looks amazing.)

(The noodles that absorbed Yo Han's effort and care)

(A Sung's "Hey, It's Young Radish Kimchi Ramyeon")

(In contrast, Si A's ramyeon...)

(is refreshing with the seafood in the white broth.)

(Si A's ramyeon with squid, pollack roe, and garlic)

(Should we set the table now?)

Okay. Steak is ready.

Yes!

(Finally, it's dinnertime!)

Let's eat, Kyun.

I can't believe that this is onion.

(Gulping)

(Gulping)

(Eddie's juicy Korean beef steak)

(It's tender steak covered in the aroma of the pickled garlic.)

(A tasty dish after another!)

(Garnish that will add flavors to the meat)

(Just like side dishes, 3 garnishes go perfectly well with the steak.)

(A Sung and Si A's ramyeon dishes will reduce the greasiness.)

(It's fun to choose between the red broth and the white broth.)

(A meal with steak and Korean food, Rice, side dish, and soup)

- Thank you. - Thanks for the food.

I'll show you one thing.

- You can have... Try the steak. - Yes.

If you want, add a little bit of the onion.

Onion? Okay.

Try it without it first.

Also, if you want, you can dip it a little bit.

Gosh. It'll be great with the dip.

It's an unbelievable way to get protein.

(Trust me and try it.)

(Why don't we try it as Eddie recommends?)

Thank you.

- It's so good. - Is it good?

(It's amazingly good.)

(It's right up the Country members' alley.)

It's really good.

Gosh. It's really good.

- I'm about to cry. - How can it be so tender?

The tenderness of the steak...

was mixed with the stickiness of the caramelized onions...

to create a harmony in my mouth, which I loved.

(A feast of flavors in her mouth)

It's so good.

Actually, I was so sad.

Because I wanted more.

It was that good.

(Yo Han takes a belated bite.)

(Amazed)

It's so good.

Thank you.

(It's so good that he wants to thank him.)

I'm totally recovered from the fatigue of the day.

Thank you.

Gosh. It's so good.

(The Country members' reaction makes Eddie happy.)

This has the pickled garlic in it.

You creamed it and added a little bit of soy sauce to finish.

Just a touch. Yes.

(How can it taste like this?)

When you cook, you always...

have to have one secret ingredient.

- I see. - Okay.

I think it's a great idea...

to keep one thing a secret.

When I had it with the pickled garlic sauce,

the steak tasted so refreshing.

It was because of the garlic.

The Korean-style pickle...

came into my mouth with the meat, and it was really good.

I'll try ramyeon number one.

(It's time to try the ramyeon dishes now.)

Oh, dear.

(Eddie tries A Sung's ramyeon dish first.)

(How is the young radish kimchi ramyeon made by A Sung?)

(Slurping)

- Can I try it? - Yes. Please help yourself.

(Heart pounding)

This is truly a ramyeon dish.

You're right.

It's like comfort food.

- It's so good. - Yes.

Kyun, when you're sick, you have Neoguri.

That's right.

- Really? - Yes. I like it.

- Thank you. - It's very good.

(It suits ramyeon-loving Eddie's palate perfectly.)

Why is it so good?

- Really? - It's really good.

(I'm glad to hear that.)

I'll try Si A's ramyeon first.

It's a bit...

(It's time to try Si A's ramyeon dish now!)

(How will ramyeon with squid, pollack roe, and garlic...)

(that Si A cooked with her gut feeling taste?)

It might taste better with kimchi.

- I won't rely on kimchi. - Okay.

(Yo Han fills his mouth with the noodles.)

I'll have some too.

(Eddie takes a bite too.)

The name of this ramyeon is "Winter fishing."

I could taste the sea.

(Ramyeon that's full of seafood tastes)

It tastes like winter fishing.

(The remarkable taste flavored by the sea)

This one has layers of flavor.

- Yes. - It's complicated.

- I like it. - Is it delicious?

It's very delicious.

- I really mean it. - I'm glad to hear that.

- It's so good. - Let's clink glasses.

Okay.

Everyone, you worked hard.

- Cheers. - You worked really hard.

You really did.

(The Country members got very close on their trip in Gangwon Province.)

When time passes,

this moment will become an unforgettable memory.

- Don't forget it, Kyun. - Okay.

(Eddie makes another memory in Korea.)

I love this part.

- Radish leaves? - Really?

- How would you say this? - What is it called?

- Radish leaves. - Radish leaves?

Radish leaves? I didn't know.

In Korea, radish leaves are dried.

They're called dried radish greens. Right?

- They're dried radish greens. - Aren't those different?

When radish leaves are dried, they become dried radish greens.

- I'll look it up. - It doesn't matter.

Is she telling a lie?

No.

Yo Han made me doubt myself.

That's not good information.

This is going on air. You have to give accurate information.

Look at this.

(I was right!)

(Grunting)

- Are you throwing up? - Are you okay?

Are you feeling nauseous?

I'm choking up.

I think you still have motion sickness.

Right.

(They're done with their food in no time.)

Currently, we have three cameras.

Kyun, can you pick one?

I'll go up to that camera and give a bite.

(That's a good idea.)

- Okay. - That one? Okay.

(Eddie picked Camera Number 1.)

(The last piece of steak)

- I'll dip it in this. - Take this too.

I'll put some on it.

We prepared it with love.

It's made by Kyun.

(Which crew member will get to taste Eddie's steak?)

You thought I was going this way,

but I'm going that way.

Here you go.

Open up.

- Open up. - Here.

What's going on?

(Joking)

- Weren't you giving it to someone? - What?

Weren't you giving it to someone?

I thought you were going to give it to the cameraman.

I thought that you didn't like people.

(The director is over here.)

- He's been standing there. - He gave it to the camera.

I was touched.

- I thought, "That's so nice." - What I did was...

I did exactly what you told me to.

(Yo Han is mischievous until the end.)

(The camera that Eddie picked)

(There's no one behind the camera.)

(The only place where there is someone)

I didn't understand while doing it.

"Why did he choose that camera?"

I was puzzled.

(Yo Han is mischievous.)

Why don't we pick someone this time?

- Let's pick someone. - Over there?

- Please taste it. - And tell us what you think.

You have to tell us what you think. Come into the frame.

Stop hiding.

A Sung, pull him out.

(They're curious about the cameraman's opinion.)

All right.

Tell us how it tastes while facing that camera.

Stand right here.

Look at the camera. Put your hands down.

(Blurred)

Go ahead and tell us.

Your face will be blurred anyway.

It tastes fantastic.

(Going back to work)

Gosh.

- I ate so well. - Thank you for the food, Kyun.

(Thanks to Yo Han, their last night in Gangwon is fun.)

How was it today?

Every day, I learn a little bit more about Korean food.

This is very important to me.

You know, we're just starting this journey.

And I'm starting to learn about the taste of cooking by hand.

I'm learning the different ways of cuisine in the countryside.

It's really important that with every single person I meet,

we talk about it. We talk about...

how they're making this. What's the taste of cooking by hand?

How do you make flavor?

I take every piece of advice and every piece of wisdom...

that I get. I put it in the back of my brain.

Hopefully, by the end of this journey,

I'll have a better understanding of the taste of cooking by hand.

I look forward to the remaining journey.

"Will it go well?" I can answer right away.

(As long as it's with the Country members)

We'll end the journey on a good note.

Coffee and ice cream.

(Their night in Gangwon Province hasn't ended yet.)

Make affogato.

- It's melting now. - Right. There we go.

Thank you.

After ending the shoot...

on a good note...

- When we visit you in the US... - That's right.

I wasn't done talking.

Kyun, you're so...

I wasn't done asking my question.

Kyun, this is your technique during the shoot.

You say, "That's right" to everything.

Even though I'm not done talking, you say, "That's right."

(You're disappointing me.)

(A Sung finds it hilarious.)

Please cook for us when we go to the US.

When you come to Korea, you can come to my place...

and make yourself at home.

(A Sung and Si A are about to pass out because of the two men.)

Goodness.

- Thank you for the food. - I'm about to throw up.

- Kyun, get some rest. - Okay.

(Good night, everyone.)

(Come and greet me.)

(Where old traditions live and breathe, Andong)

- Hi. - Gosh.
