Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant' Kim Jae-joong's mother revealed a kimchi recipe that paid off 100 million won in debt.
On the 31st broadcast of KBS 2TV entertainment show Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant (hereafter "Fun-Staurant"), Kim Jae-joong's mother revealed the kimchi recipe that paid off 100 million won in debt.
Worried about her son Kim Jae-joong, who performs more than 30 times a year, his mother said, "When I see you perform, it looks like you're about to collapse. Whether abroad or at concerts, I feel so sorry," and added, "Sometimes I cry a lot. I'm worried whether you eat and take care of yourself."
That day the mother decided to make kimchi for her busy son, and Kim Jae-joong said, "I'm going to try to learn my mom's kimchi."
Especially, Kim Jae-joong's mother was known as a major figure in the Gongju food service industry who once boasted monthly sales of 40 million won, drawing attention. It was even reported that she ran a restaurant in Gongju and paid off 100 million won in debt in one year, showcasing her exceptional "touch."
Kim Jae-joong's mother boiled stock using various ingredients including onion skins, garlic skins, green onion roots, anchovies and old pumpkin. When preparing the kimchi filling, she ground garlic, onion and ginger with anchovy fish sauce.
Kim Jae-joong said, "I learned this for the first time too, but my mom doesn't use any salt when making kimchi. She seasons really only with fish sauce," he said. Hearing this, Lee Yeon-bok said, "It's a recipe we don't usually see," and Hyojung reacted, "It feels like seeing some practical life wisdom."
Having mixed the rich stock to complete an appetizing kimchi filling, the two began to season the napa cabbage that had been salted the day before.
When Kim Jae-joong marveled, "It's delicious. But it keeps lingering in my mouth," his mother suggested, "Mansun-yi still hasn't died. Let's export this to Japan." Kim Jae-joong chimed in, "We should get a kimchi factory set up," and Kangnam added, "Jae-joong hyung can do it."
Tasting the finished napa cabbage kimchi, Kim Jae-joong exclaimed, "It's quite peppery and the umami really lingers in the mouth."
