'Gongbu-wang Jjincheonjae Hong Jin Kyung' Culinary Class Wars season 1 chef Kwon Seong-joon showed an unusual move.
On the 5th, Hong Jin Kyung's YouTube channel 'Gongbu-wang Jjincheonjae Hong Jin Kyung' released a video titled "Mom Hong Jin Kyung (Natpolly Matpia) who only learned Western cooking for the first time for her daughter Ra-el, who grew up eating only Kimchi-jjigae."
That day Chef Kwon Seong-joon generously taught his recipes and his own tips to Hong Jin Kyung, who had only ever made Korean food. Hong Jin Kyung said, "I only know how to make Korean food. I don't even know how to make simple Western dishes," and added, "My daughter Ra-el has eaten cheonggukjang, doenjang-jjigae and Kimchi-jjigae her whole life since she was born. I feel sorry, so since Natpolly Matpia's Kwon Seong-joon is an Italian chef expert, even if I learn just two dishes, tomato pasta and aglio e olio, it would be a fulfilling time," expressing regret.
Hong Jin Kyung said, "I want to make things like this at home," and added, "I've eaten seaweed soup and seokbakji every day for 48 years. From age 26 I want to try eating something new," showing a challenging spirit toward Western cooking.
Kwon Seong-joon said, "This is useful. I've wanted to do something like this on YouTube, but I don't have a YouTube channel," and instead expressed gratitude to Hong Jin Kyung for inviting him.
From pasta types to characteristics of Italian food, Kwon Seong-joon succinctly conveyed cooking knowledge and made two dishes, aglio e olio and tomato risotto. For aglio e olio, he explained how to boil the pasta, the timing to add it to the sauce, and a tip that the sauce should not run off.
Kwon Seong-joon said, "I'll show you plating. Slightly hold the pasta, place it under the ladle, gently turn it, then release it. My point is to grate a little lemon in. It's fresh, and lemon can also neutralize the fishy smell of clams," showing perfection until the end.
Tomato risotto was a revelation. During Culinary Class Wars his scene of stir-frying risotto for 200 servings was remembered as a highlight, and he said restaurants that do risotto properly are rare, so he taught how to cook the rice. Kwon Seong-joon said, "With risotto it's always important to use raw rice. You don't pre-cook the rice. Do not wash the rice. If it's really bothersome, use rice that has been washed. It's important that water doesn't touch it," and added, "Use Sindongjin rice. Korean rice makes risotto difficult. Sindongjin rice is a cultivated variety. It's not that Italian chefs communicated, but everyone seems to use Sindongjin rice as if by agreement."
Also, Kwon Seong-joon said, "They don't do it like this in Korea. They cook rice in a rice cooker, then add rice that's 70% cooked. But you shouldn't do that. Just as you drain pasta immediately into the sauce, it's hard to find restaurants that do risotto properly," and he added flavor by placing mozzarella cheese and basil over the carefully simmered risotto.
That day, Kwon Seong-joon, who had a headline calling him the '3.3 billion building owner,' said, "I was glad to be able to introduce how to make it," and added, "I hope interest in food increases so that it's good for me too," showing his love for cooking. Hong Jin Kyung thanked him, saying, "You taught me everything you studied in Italy." Kwon Seong-joon also advised consulting his cookbook, saying, "I published a book too. It's called 'Secret Recipe.' It also includes how to make risotto."
Hong Jin Kyung said, "I hope interest in Chef Kwon Seong-joon increases. I also hope his restaurant is a huge success and that he does even better," seeming to foresee Kwon Seong-joon's bright future and cheering him on. Netizens reacted with admiration, saying, "Didn't you envy Son Jong-won for being handsome? But his specs are off the charts," and "Amazing."
