'Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant' Lee Jung Hyun begins cooking to recapture her mother's taste.
Today (2) at 8:30 p.m., KBS 2TV 'Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant' will feature the all-purpose goddess Lee Jung Hyun preparing holiday dishes such as assorted jeon, galbitang, and galbijjim. In the process, Lee Jung Hyun makes the nostalgic dishes her mother used to make for holidays, who passed away and went to heaven five years ago. Wanting desperately to find the longed-for taste of her mother, the daughter Lee Jung Hyun cooks while retracing her memories, a scene that is expected to move the hearts of many daughters in the world on Friday evening.
In the VCR shown that day, Lee Jung Hyun began flipping through the photo album on her phone while preparing holiday dishes. Everyone wondered what photos she was looking for, and Lee Jung Hyun said, "I think of my mother more around the holidays," and noted, "It's been five years since my mother passed away. Now I can finally calm down enough to look at the photos. Before, I missed her so much that just thinking about it made me cry, so I couldn't bring myself to look at the photos." Lee Jung Hyun held back her tears and looked at the last photos taken with her mother: the last trip she took with her mother, the last kimchi-making, the last holiday photos.
Looking at photos of the holiday dishes her mother used to make, Lee Jung Hyun confessed, "My mother's wanja was really delicious, but I'm so sad I didn't get the recipe." The shiitake mushroom jeon made with wanja was a dish her mother made every holiday. Lee Jung Hyun said, "I should try to make it similar to how my mother made it," and began cooking while recalling her mother's wanja from memory.
Without an exact recipe, Lee Jung Hyun kept hesitating but tried to retrace her memories to find her mother's taste. As the dish gradually came together, daughter Lee Jung Hyun, delighted, said, "It smells like my mother's food," and special MC Kang Soo-jung also shed tears with her. Can daughter Lee Jung Hyun complete the much-missed taste of her mother?
Meanwhile, fitting her all-purpose goddess image, Lee Jung Hyun surprised the Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant cast by revealing a recipe that allows galbitang and galbijjim to be made simultaneously at ultra-fast speed. The all-purpose goddess Lee Jung Hyun's holiday cooking parade, from assorted jeon to galbitang and galbijjim, can be seen on that day's episode of 'Fun-Staurant.'
