Le Grand Chef 2: Kimchi Battle Page #5

---

Looks Iike we aII have

one thing Ieft to do.

- It's fantastic.

- Thanks.

I didn't think you couId come.

Thank you.

I'II aIways come

on your invitation.

Have you decided on

the finaI menu for the contest?

No. What do you think?

How can I dare judge your cooking...

Oh dear.

You know why

I asked you to come.

PIease teII me.

They were aII exquisite.

I cannot dare rate the dishes

you've prepared. But...

But?

I never saw you so nervous.

I never saw you so nervous.

You are right.

I haven't found the answer yet.

No, I think you have.

Look at them.

They Iook pIeased.

The answer couId be there.

What do you see?

They're Kimchi dishes that suit

anyone's tastes.

But I think the heart and

substance of it aII is eIsewhere.

I apoIogize, ma'am.

How dare I...

No, thank you for being

so honest.

Going off on his own.

Let's see how he does without me.

This is good, too.

Do whatever you want

and die an oId man, aIone!

This is not a crime.

No, sir!

Quiet! Come on!

Just find the stamp.

Once we stamp the papers...

Wait!

TeII me what you're making, pIease?

I toId you, 'Mom's taste'.

You aIways sneak

your way out Iike that.

- You can win, right?

- Of course.

What is the Kimchi you think

the worId can reIate with?

A heart moving taste.

I think it is essentiaI to cooking

and the true hope of a chef.

I beIieve anyone can reIate with food

made with such sincerity and heart.

The worId may not be abIe

to reIate with my Kimchi.

I thought of 'Mom's taste'.

The number of fIavors in the worId

equaIs that of our mothers.

If aII mothers' hearts are the same...

Maybe everyone in the worId

can reIate with this, too.

Thank you.

'Heart Touching Taste'

against 'Mom's Taste', it is.

Here on the stage are

the best ingredients from

around the country.

Our two finaIists aIso brought

with them their secret weapons.

Kimchi can be made differentIy

even with the same ingredients.

Our two finaIists wiII have

two hours to prepare.

Let the Kimchi contest finaIs begin!

Sung-chan heId fast to

traditionaI methods untiI now.

MeanwhiIe, Jang-eun insisted

on new fusion methods.

Tradition vs. Fusion.

I'm curious what the resuIts wiII be.

Who do you think wiII win?

I'm not sure.

In the past, they carefuIIy picked

a sacred day to make Kimchi

and purified their bodies

in preparation.

Then the one

who took a bath wiII...

Winning is aII in mind controI.

The Iadies had to be carefuI

of one another in making Kimchi.

If you get angry,

the saIt content in bIood couId

disturb the taste buds.

Making Kimchi is

a very sensitive process.

Sung-chan is using a stone bowI.

That is a very traditionaI way of

Iocking the fIavor in.

MeanwhiIe Chef Jang-eun is cooking

each ingredient separateIy.

She's focused on keeping

the ingredients' distinct tastes.

CIose up on Jang-eun's hands.

I'm so hungry!

Can't we try some after the contest?

Rip off a big piece of Kimchi

and wrap some rice with it!

Then you munch it down.

You can't get better than that.

- That's...

- Be quiet!

Camera 1 on Sung-chan's hands!

What! They're the same!

They didn't cheat, did they?

Their Kimchis Iook the same!

This isn't the SAT's!

Eating aIways comes first, right?

Yes, sir!

Hey, I can't see the Tv, fooI.

Wow!

What's this?

What's in this wine?

Damn.

This can't be!

No way!

This tastes Iike...

Mom's...

The Iong awaited Kimchi contest

finaIs judging begins.

Aren't they both...

Chef Jang-eun?

This is traditionaI Korean cabbage

Kimchi, not a fusion one.

I thought about it Iong and hard.

This is the taste

that moved my heart.

But both your Kimchis Iook Iike

normaI, average ones.

WiII the worId be abIe to

reIate with normaI Kimchi Iike this?

PIease expIain further

before we taste it.

I beg to differ with you.

I tried many new Kimchis

in the contest, but...

Something was missing.

Why?

It's the Korean cabbage Kimchi

that's aIways on our tabIes.

But no one made this.

Was the contest about

making new types of Kimchi?

Let me teII you something.

I drank water aII night after eating

aII the saIty, new Kimchi.

How can we give the worId Kimchi

that we're not even famiIiar with?

It doesn't make any sense.

Fine. They can't be disquaIified

for making the same Kimchi.

Then onIy the taste wiII

decide the winner.

Wait a second, pIease.

What's this?

Isn't this against the ruIes?

It's the same Kimchi

made with the same ingredients.

I just had it ripened

for a certain period.

Kimchi's true taste

comes from fermentation.

What shouId we do?

But there are ruIes in the contest.

I prepared ripened Kimchi, too.

Then the conditions are the same.

Let's try it.

There.

With a Iot of spices and brine

it can easiIy be hot and saIty.

But with rice fIour paste,

the fIavor is Iocked in weII.

But I taste something eIse.

It's quite different from

other normaI Kimchis.

It's weII ripened.

This is 'Mom's Taste'.

It Iooks the same as

'the Heart Moving Taste'.

Mother's taste moves the heart,

doesn't it?

ShaII we try

how different it tastes?

- Sure.

- Sure.

Am I tasting this correctIy?

I can onIy say it tastes

the same as the first.

It's ripened the same.

Yes, they're good the same.

- Chief KIM?

- Yes?

PIease be more precise

with your words.

They're both the same and good.

What's wrong with that?

Wait, I think there's something

sIightIy different.

HoId on.

I can't teII after eating that first.

But I think I can teII

eating this one first.

I'II be right back.

Stay right here.

It can't be...

I made this Kimchi recipe...

This Kimchi tastes Iike my Mother's.

Mother aIways made Kimchi

with onIy the best ingredients.

Korean cabbage, saIt, garIic,

saIted shrimp...

She saw to onIy the best.

What are you doing?

She not onIy used

sun dried powdered peppers,

but aIso heat dried

powdered peppers.

It's cuz sun dried peppers

are spicy and strong,

but Iess sweet than

the heat dried peppers.

Stop.

With onIy the best ingredients

in Kimchi

she made sweet, saIty, bitter,

sour, and spicy tastes

as weII as the taste of fermentation.

Cuz Mother wanted to...

teach you the uItimate

sense of taste.

In the best way she knew how.

But...

But that's not aII,

was it?

Stop! I don't want to hear it!

Mother aIso put cinnamon

in her Kimchi.

You know why?

Other Kimchis don't have cinnamon.

But Mother aIways put it in.

It's cuz your body was aIways coId.

And she knew cinnamon

was good for you.

She made it that way for you.

That's the Chunyang-gak Kimchi.

The Kimchi was

Mother's Iove for you.

How cute.

- Can you get me a tray?

- Yes, mom.

How cute.

I was such a horribIe daughter.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

- You Iook good. Hurry!

- Wait!

Let's see how weII you do

Ieaving me to run this.

There.

What?

You insisted on taking it over.

I can go around seIIing produce

knowing you're here.

If you feeI bad,

buy some produce off me.

For cheap, right?

Take my heart too, why don't ya?

Here they are!
