In "Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant," Lee Jung-hyun expressed her gratitude to her husband.
On the 29th broadcast of KBS 2TV's "Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant" (hereafter referred to as "Fun-Staurant"), the versatile goddess Lee Jung-hyun created various dishes using red snow crab, an ingredient that is both delicious and cost-effective in season. In addition to easy-to-think-of menus like steamed crab, butter-grilled crab, and ramen, she surprised everyone by making crab marinated in soy sauce, a perfect side dish to eat with rice. Along with this, Lee Jung-hyun shared a story about her gratitude toward her husband during their newlywed days, providing a touching moment for viewers during the Friday evening broadcast.
That day, Lee Jung-hyun prepared a generous amount of red snow crab. The red snow crab, in season during the fall, boasts a cost-effectiveness of about 15,000 won per kilogram, which is only half the price of blue crab. Lee Jung-hyun steamed the red snow crab that her husband had carefully cleaned. The flavor explosion from the steamed red snow crab left the couple thoroughly enjoying their eating show.
Next, the dish Lee Jung-hyun chose was butter-grilled red snow crab. Her husband was initially disheartened by the thought of having to clean the iron griddle, but he was able to enjoy the delicious butter-grilled red snow crab that his wife had grilled with a flame show, resulting in laughter. Additionally, Lee Jung-hyun created ramen made with boiled red snow crab legs, achieving the "ultimate known flavor."
The final dish decorated by Lee Jung-hyun's red snow crab cooking was crab marinated in soy sauce. Everyone was puzzled by the idea of making crab marinated in soy sauce with red snow crab, but Lee Jung-hyun completed it in an easy and simple way. After three days of aging, the crab marinated in soy sauce exhibited a tender texture without a fishy smell. The innards of red snow crab, which taste better than blue crab, are truly irresistible when it comes to eating rice. Goh Gyu-pil, who appeared as part of the nationwide tasting group, was so impressed after tasting Lee Jung-hyun's crab marinated in soy sauce that he repeatedly exclaimed, "It's really delicious!"
Meanwhile, that day, Lee Jung-hyun and her husband brought laughter as they exchanged between hot baths and cold baths several times a day. Although her husband complained, he took care to prepare the red snow crab and clean the iron griddle, fulfilling all his wife's requests. Lee Jung-hyun fed her husband directly and even called back the pet name "Bebe" from their newlywed days. Her husband, feeling awkward, responded, "Just act normally," which caused a burst of laughter. Their playful bickering depicted them as a joyful couple seven years into marriage.
The couple reminisced about their past together, including their dating days and newlywed life. Lee Jung-hyun's husband said, "I think it was a series of incidents over the two years after we got married. My mother-in-law started to get sick the month after we got married." Lee Jung-hyun noted that her mother's illness began shortly after their marriage. She added, "I think our newlywed period was quite sad. I was crying throughout our honeymoon. My husband was the one who stayed by my side during the difficult times."
Lee Jung-hyun stated, "It was a great help for me when my husband comforted me during difficult times. We traveled with my mother every week until she passed away. At that time, my husband took leave to accompany us, and because my mother couldn't walk, he carried her. I was really grateful at that time." Lee Jung-hyun's mother passed away after two years of battling illness post her daughter's marriage. Afterward, their family grew from two to four with the births of Seo-ah and Seo-woo.
Lee Jung-hyun said, "From now on, I will speak sweetly" as she looked at her husband with a charming smile, eliciting laughter. That day, Lee Jung-hyun was also seen getting emotional while watching a scene of her phone call with her mother, who has passed away, preserved in "Fun-Staurant." Lee Jung-hyun shares her memories about her newlywed days, her late mother, and her experiences of being a parent to Seo-ah and Seo-woo alongside "Fun-Staurant." It was only due to "Fun-Staurant" that she was able to honestly express all of this.
