00:00Open the fridge, open the fridge.
00:09The fridge is the fridge of your family.
00:13I love my fridge.
00:20This is the tip for this episode.
00:22Oppa's fridge?
00:23You mean that oppa?
00:25Have you ever watched Korean dramas?
00:26Or is there any Korean you like?
00:27Yes, I do like Korean dramas.
00:29He's very handsome.
00:30The fridge is the fridge of your parents.
00:32Why is it so salty?
00:33Why does it smell so good?
00:34That means there's a kid in there, right?
00:37No translation provided.
00:38This is a prank show.
00:41Hello.
00:42Nice to meet you, oppa.
00:46When she saw Kook,
00:47she was so happy and excited.
00:49She must have thought
00:50our show would invite a Korean drama.
00:53That's right.
00:54I'm afraid it's a Korean drama.
00:55Let's look at the fridge first.
00:57Let's open it.
00:59It's so Korean.
01:01It's so Korean.
01:02On the first shelf,
01:03there's Korean kimchi.
01:05Everything is so neat.
01:08They're all stacked up like this.
01:09I like this the most.
01:10Is this rice noodles?
01:11Or is it kimchi rice noodles?
01:14There's soju, too.
01:16You said there's a grandma.
01:18Where is she?
01:20There's a milk bottle.
01:21There's a baby.
01:22Look at this.
01:24I have one, too.
01:24I have this at home.
01:25It's exactly the same.
01:26What is this?
01:27It's ba-gao.
01:28She really knows how to cook Chinese food.
01:31Actually, her house and my house
01:34are very similar.
01:34It's Korean dumplings.
01:37It's great. I like dumplings.
01:39It's really the same as my house.
01:41My house is like this, too.
01:43There's a lot of alcohol here.
01:45This oppa likes to drink.
01:47Hi.
01:48Hi.
01:49Hi, I'm Jay.
01:50Nice meeting you.
01:53He's the owner of the fridge.
01:55He's Jay from Korea.
01:56Your kitchen is very nice.
01:57Very clean, very tidy.
01:59Can you tell us, is this your kingdom?
02:00Yes, this is my kingdom.
02:02Nobody really can cook Korean food,
02:04so I usually cook myself
02:06for my kids and my family, too.
02:09How many kids do you have?
02:10I have two boys.
02:11The big one is three years old
02:13and the second one is two years old.
02:15Oh my gosh, so cute.
02:16My soju.
02:17This is my...
02:18Your dad, grandma.
02:19And this is my rice wine.
02:21This is my wife's favorite.
02:23So I always prepare...
02:25This is not for cooking.
02:26It's not for cooking.
02:27It's for...
02:28It's like rice wine.
02:29Rice wine is for drinking.
02:31Because in Chinese,
02:33rice wine is always for cooking.
02:35It's not for drinking.
02:36No way.
02:37This one is kimchi.
02:39Korean fridge always need to have this one.
02:42Side dishes.
02:43If you go to a Korean restaurant,
02:45as you can see,
02:46they always provide so many different kinds of side dishes.
02:48I thought this is spaghetti.
02:50No.
02:50Kimchi spaghetti.
02:51No, it's dried squid.
02:53Dried squid.
02:54Spicy sauce.
02:55We make it together.
02:56So this kind of kimchi you usually buy,
02:59you don't make it by yourself?
03:00Usually, we buy it
03:02because the way to make the kimchi
03:04needs some time, a lot of effort to make.
03:07If I have some time,
03:09I make kimchi for myself,
03:11for my kids, for my family.
03:13Actually, in Korea,
03:14my generation,
03:15everybody cook their own kimchi.
03:17Your generation, how old are you?
03:19You're just 30-something, right?
03:21I'm already 40 years old.
03:23People have their own taste.
03:24So many different kinds of kimchi.
03:26I miss my mom's kimchi.
03:28What Hong Kongese food you can make?
03:30Fish-flavored chicken.
03:32Fish-flavored chicken?
03:33What kind of fish-flavored chicken?
03:36Mapo tofu.
03:37Mapo tofu.
03:39Yes.
03:39Those are my favorites.
03:41Do you know what is fish-flavored chicken?
03:43Chicken?
03:44It's the important part of the chicken.
03:46Important part.
03:48The male one.
03:49Fish-flavored chicken.
03:50Yes.
03:51Sounds good.
03:52Your wife is the queen, right?
03:54Yes, my wife is the queen.
03:56Let's meet your prince and your queen.
03:58Yes.
04:00Okay, hi.
04:01Hello, finally.
04:03I meet the queen.
04:04Hello.
04:05She's a pretty girl.
04:07Welcome.
04:08Let's meet our queen, Nancy.
04:10I'm really curious.
04:11Because Korean men,
04:13to me,
04:15are more manly.
04:16They don't cook a lot.
04:18But she's completely the opposite.
04:21I think in the previous generation,
04:23like my grandpa,
04:25he rarely went to the kitchen.
04:27But he would help my grandma wash the dishes.
04:29But I see that most of my husband's friends
04:31are male cooks.
04:34Maybe they have an ice age.
04:36We really didn't know that.
04:38Really.
04:39It's different in this era.
04:41You're really a queen.
04:43Most of his friends like to have daughters.
04:46They don't like to have boys or girls.
04:49I'm surprised.
04:50You should chase after a girl.
04:52I want to continue being a queen.
04:58The first time he came to drink tea with my mom,
05:01he made tea for himself.
05:03I told him to make tea for my mom.
05:05He said, your mom's cup is full.
05:06Even if it's full, you still have to make tea.
05:08It's hard for him to understand.
05:10He really made a lot of tea.
05:12At first, he didn't understand.
05:13Because...
05:14He already threw it away.
05:15He just drank tea.
05:16Yes.
05:17Because Koreans drink a lot of alcohol.
05:19They drink it all before making tea.
05:20That's why there's a cultural difference.
05:23This is how you make tea.
05:24Later on, I realized.
05:25A very big circle table.
05:26She kept asking me to make tea.
05:30The pot is very heavy.
05:31So I have to carry this.
05:33And do this, do that.
05:34And then I need to walk all the way there.
05:37And then do this.
05:38And do this.
05:39And do this.
05:40And do that.
05:41They didn't even say thank you.
05:42They just...
05:46But this is thank you already.
05:48I didn't know in the beginning.
05:49Because I...
05:51Eat one piece.
05:52And do this.
05:52Again.
05:53So I need to go back again.
05:54Go back again.
05:56Let me eat.
05:57And do this.
05:58Okay.
06:01The impression a Korean man gives me
06:03is that he's a big man.
06:06He's not that gentle.
06:07But no.
06:08Today, after meeting Jay,
06:10I really started to feel what it means to be a warm guy.
06:13Today, when I saw Jay and Nancy,
06:15I was speechless.
06:16I saw that Jay is a 100% warm guy.
06:20So I think he's not bad.
06:26The very first time I went to...
06:29Cha-Chan-Teng.
06:30Everybody got so mad.
06:34And then she just kicked the chair.
06:36She sat there.
06:37So I sit.
06:38Lady was sitting there and eating something.
06:40The person I never met.
06:42Hi.
06:43And she...
06:45The old lady threw the menu to me.
06:48Bam!
06:49Oh!
06:51And it's all Chinese.
06:53And there's not one single photo.
06:56Why these people were mad?
07:01Can you tell Jay to speak
07:02the best Cantonese he can speak?
07:06Speak the best Cantonese you can speak.
07:08Which one?
07:09I can speak Cantonese.
07:11Hmm.
07:12A little.
07:13Hmm.
07:15I'm a Korean.
07:18I speak better.
07:19My wife is a Hong Konger.
07:23Don't say that Hong Kong girls will look down on him.
07:25Even a man like me
07:27thinks that this Korean warm guy
07:28deserves to marry such a beautiful wife.
07:31It seems that we Hong Kong guys
07:32need to learn from him.
07:34Just now, your dad said that
07:36you don't need to help him cook.
07:38I don't need to help him.
07:39So you mainly eat Korean food, right?
07:42Yes, I eat a lot of Korean food.
07:44I really want to try it.
07:45My two sons also eat kimchi.
07:47So you're not afraid of spicy food?
07:48Does it mean that you're not afraid of spicy food?
07:51I think so.
07:52Hmm.
07:53Will you cook something for me?
07:55Okay.
07:55I want to try your kingdom.
07:57You can go back to your kingdom and prepare it.
07:59Okay.
08:03This is his kingdom kitchen.
08:04What will you cook for me today?
08:06Seafood soup.
08:07Seafood soup?
08:08Yes.
08:09Seafood soup.
08:11The god of ocean.
08:18Yes.
08:19Yes, basically like that.
08:20This is the chicken that the god of ocean likes to eat in Korea.
08:23My hometown is Shandong.
08:25It takes 10 minutes by boat from Shandong to Korea.
08:29So we also look like Koreans.
08:31We will put this in the chicken.
08:34This is the chicken soup packet.
08:36I bought this packet on the street.
08:38I will put it in the soup.
08:40Okay, put it inside.
08:41There are two packets.
08:41I can smell the fragrance of the soup packet.
08:44What do you usually cook for your children?
08:46Sometimes American style.
08:48Sometimes Korean style.
08:50Something that's not spicy.
08:51Sometimes like this.
08:52Two chickens and about 20 garlic cloves.
08:55There are three potatoes.
08:56The water level is about the same as the chicken.
09:00Okay.
09:03Locked.
09:06So I'm ready to take it out.
09:09Like this.
09:11And then...
09:16Can you smell it?
09:18The smell...
09:19The medicine.
09:20I'm really looking forward to this.
09:21I've never tried this before.
09:22Around 10 more minutes.
09:24Then I can mix again.
09:25And it's going to be ready to go.
09:29Open the fridge.
09:32The fridge is the bridge of your family.
09:36Open the fridge.
09:39The fridge is the bridge of your family.
09:44The chicken soup packet.
09:46You drink this often, right?
09:47Yes, I do.
09:49I'm hungry.
09:50I'm so hungry.
09:51Enjoy.
09:52This is my first time drinking this.
09:54Korean warm soup.
09:57How do you say warm soup in Korean?
10:06What is this?
10:07This is Korean rice wine.
10:09Normally, young people drink this.
10:13This is for me.
10:14Okay.
10:15This is for you.
10:19This is the rice wine from the fridge.
10:22This is rice wine.
10:24Yes, I know.
10:26This is rice wine.
10:28I'll do it myself.
10:29You can't do it for yourself.
10:31Oh, right.
10:31I'll do it for you.
10:32I'll do it for you after I'm done.
10:35It's not like that.
10:35It's not like that.
10:36Yes, it's funny.
10:37What should I do?
10:38She'll do it for you or I'll do it for you?
10:40Cheers.
10:45I'm looking forward to the Korean warm soup.
10:47I'll try it.
10:48Be careful.
10:49After you eat, you might have one more baby.
10:52After I eat?
10:53It's very nutritious.
10:54And later on, you need to cook for your husband too.
10:57It's very good for men.
10:58This is very good.
11:00That's why I have two boys.
11:01You really need to try it.
11:05Nancy, you're lucky.
11:07You have a man cooking for you.
11:09You rarely cook for him, right?
11:11Rarely. He doesn't let me cook for him.
11:13I'm very satisfied.
11:13He doesn't even let me cook for him.
11:15Because he cares about you.
11:16It's because he doesn't want to eat it.
11:17It's too hard to eat.
11:18You two are from different cultures.
11:21How do you get along with his mother?
11:24Does his mother think,
11:25why doesn't my daughter-in-law cook?
11:27Why does my son have to cook?
11:28Is there something like that?
11:29You know, there are a lot of women in Hong Kong.
11:31Yes.
11:32You mentioned that one time when I went to Korea,
11:35I wasn't married yet.
11:36I went to visit him when I woke up.
11:38He suddenly put an apple on the table.
11:41Yes.
11:42I was like, what's going on?
11:43There was a knife on the table.
11:44And you criticized him.
11:45Yes.
11:46Do you have to do that at 12 o'clock?
11:48Do you think I know how to do that?
11:49Yes, of course I don't know how to do that.
11:51So what happened?
11:52He did that, and everyone was quiet.
11:54We just chatted.
11:55It's okay.
11:56It's okay.
11:57Did that affect everyone?
11:59I was very lucky.
12:00I tried hard to learn Korean.
12:02Did your parents think,
12:04if you made a Korean dish,
12:06would they be against it?
12:07Would they not accept it?
12:08Or would they be scared?
12:09Like you said, would they be scared?
12:10Yes, they would be scared.
12:11My mom said, did he hit you?
12:12Yes.
12:13My brother said,
12:14let's take a picture of him when he's drunk.
12:15Let's see what he looks like.
12:17Let's see if he would hit you
12:18when he's drunk.
12:19Yes.
12:20And then he hit your brother.
12:21It's okay.
12:22Usually he would just throw up.
12:24His grandma
12:25can cut him
12:26with a knife
12:27and peel the apple.
12:28After hearing that,
12:29I really want to ask Nancy
12:31to ask her brother
12:32to get a watermelon
12:34and ask Jay
12:35to peel the watermelon
12:36and see if he can do it.
12:37You have to cook it with herbs.
12:39So your mom is a very good chef,
12:41Korean style?
12:42Yes.
12:43Do you think I can learn
12:44from your mom?
12:45No, I can ask my mom
12:46to teach you guys
12:47how to make the kimchi.
12:49My mom tried before
12:50to teach my wife.
12:52Can you do it?
12:53But what did you make?
12:54I learned.
12:55I just didn't make it.
12:56She gave up.
13:01Hello, Mrs. Roh.
13:02Mr. Roh.
13:03Hello.
13:04Annyeonghaseyo.
13:06Annyeonghaseyo.
13:07Annyeonghaseyo.
13:08Annyeonghaseyo.
13:09Annyeonghaseyo.
13:11Every Korean family
13:13has their own
13:14kimchi fridge.
13:16This is a substitute
13:18for the kimchi
13:19we used to make
13:20under the snow.
13:22This is fish sauce.
13:24This is plum syrup.
13:26Chili powder.
13:27Garlic and ginger
13:28are mixed together.
13:29Glutinous rice.
13:30Glutinous rice is used
13:31to make porridge.
13:33This is to mix
13:34everything together
13:35to make kimchi sauce.
13:37Yes.
13:38Okay.
13:39We're making kimchi
13:40together.
13:41My sister has a history.
13:43This is a skill.
13:44My hand.
13:45Like this?
13:46Like that.
13:47I can smell
13:48the kimchi.
13:49I can smell it.
13:50It smells so good.
13:52She said we put more.
13:53This is amazing.
13:55How many people can eat this?
13:57It's a big plate.
13:58So many people can eat this.
14:00She's mixing it.
14:01She's mixing it.
14:02Yes.
14:03Let me try.
14:04Try.
14:05It's too big.
14:09No one asked me to eat it.
14:10Perfect.
14:11But I want to put
14:12the plum sauce.
14:13Is this a little bit sweet?
14:15Yes, a little bit sweet.
14:16Is this the plum sauce?
14:18It's the secret recipe?
14:19Yes, it is.
14:20He's making
14:21a lot of food.
14:30Bye-bye.
14:31When I visited
14:32Jay's fridge today,
14:34I saw his mom
14:35wrote him a letter.
14:37Jay said
14:38he and his mom are close.
14:39His mom used to come to Hong Kong,
14:41but because of the pandemic,
14:42she couldn't come.
14:43But they
14:44FaceTime every day.
14:46They meet their kids,
14:47their in-laws,
14:48and their grandchildren.
14:49So I asked
14:50if I could ask my aunt
14:51to FaceTime
14:52and teach us how to make kimchi.
14:53So today,
14:54fortunately,
14:55my aunt taught us how to make kimchi.
14:58Jay's mom taught us how to make kimchi.
15:00Now it's time for Xiao Gook
15:01and Gook's mom
15:02to teach us
15:03how to make
15:04Korean kimchi cross-over.
15:07All right.
15:08Today,
15:09we have Gook's mom
15:10to teach us
15:11how to make
15:12Korean kimchi cross-over
15:14for you to try.
15:16Today,
15:17we're using 1 kg of fresh pork.
15:19We're going to make
15:20Korean kimchi cross-over.
15:21You insist on
15:22using fresh pork, right?
15:25Yes,
15:26because it tastes better.
15:27If it's fresh,
15:28you don't need to add anything else.
15:30It's already sweet.
15:32Why do I know this?
15:34It's because my mom
15:35insists on one thing.
15:37Every morning,
15:38when she goes to the market,
15:39she'll go to the pork stall
15:40and say,
15:41I want this piece of pork,
15:42so I'll cut that piece of pork.
15:43She insists on using good ingredients,
15:45healthy ingredients
15:46to make this cross-over.
15:51Actually,
15:52you don't often get to eat
15:53Korean kimchi cross-over.
15:54Because Korean kimchi cross-over
15:55is only eaten
15:56when you're in a good mood.
15:57I think it's a bit like
15:58Korean kimchi.
15:59Because kimchi
16:00is made by a family
16:02and friends
16:03who get together to make kimchi.
16:04Actually,
16:05it's the same in Shandong.
16:06This kimchi
16:07is for you.
16:08You can put it in.
16:09The main character,
16:10kimchi.
16:13This is how we cut it.
16:15This is the finished product.
16:16We'll wrap it later.
16:17We'll wrap it later.
16:18We'll put it in the fridge
16:19for an hour.
16:20It's better if it's longer.
16:21Then we can start wrapping.
16:23Speaking of wrapping,
16:24of course,
16:25there's the wrapping.
16:26I wonder
16:27what's the trick
16:28of wrapping?
16:29Our kimchi
16:30is thicker in the middle
16:31and thinner on the sides.
16:32That makes it easier to wrap.
16:33Otherwise,
16:34when you put it in the fridge,
16:35you'll get a stomachache.
16:36The skin will be thin.
16:38Yes.
16:39During the pandemic,
16:40you can't go anywhere.
16:41A big family
16:42wrapping kimchi
16:43is a good family activity.
16:44Look at how pretty
16:45the kids wrapped it.
16:50How's my cooking?
16:53You cooked?
16:54She cooked something today?
16:55What did she cook?
16:56Dumplings.
17:00I asked my wife
17:01not to cook.
17:03Oh, yeah.
17:04It was amazing.
17:05Wow.
17:06The sense of the art.
17:07The craft.
17:08You know?
17:09Craft.
17:10It was a craft.
17:11Right?
17:12Enough.
17:13Okay.
17:15Okay.
17:16Thank you, auntie,
17:17for teaching us how to make dumplings.
17:19We'll give you
17:20this delicious
17:21Korean seafood soup.
17:22Please try it.
17:23I can't wait to try it.
17:24Can you try
17:25your auntie's dumplings
17:26quickly?
17:27Okay.
17:28I'll try the dumplings.
17:29Okay.
17:30Dumplings from Shandong,
17:3180 pieces.
17:32I'll eat the master piece.
17:33The soup is amazing.
17:34It's good.
17:35She used a pressure cooker
17:36to cook it
17:37for about an hour.
17:38It's very thick.
17:39It's very thick.
17:40I think this one
17:41I made.
17:42You think?
17:43It's good?
17:44Is it yummy?
17:45I'll give it to her.
17:46Kimchi.
17:47You like?
17:48I'll try it.
17:49You like your mom's kimchi
17:50mixed with the dumplings?
17:53I'm really happy today.
17:54I learned
17:55and drank this seafood soup.
17:56The soup is really good.
17:57It's really good.
17:58It has a strong flavor.
17:59I learned
18:00North Korean kimchi
18:01from Jay's mom.
18:02Kimchi.
18:03And I made
18:04this cross-over dumpling.
18:10See if you
18:11understand
18:12what I'm talking.
18:16It sounds like
18:17an old song.
18:18What does it mean?
18:19It's correct.
18:20It's a word.
18:21It sounds like
18:22a Chinese word.
18:23It's a word.
18:24A word.
18:25I think my Korean
18:26sounds like Thai.
18:27Do you understand?
18:28I don't understand.
18:29You don't understand?
18:30You don't understand?
18:31I don't understand.
18:32Say it.
18:33What language is this auntie speaking?
18:35Let's eat together.
18:36How do you say
18:37in Korean?
18:38Thank you for the food.
18:40Thank you for the food.
18:42Thank you for the food.
18:45Thank you for the food.
18:46Thank you for the food.
18:52In my memory,
18:53all the Korean guys
18:54look scary.
18:55But it's not like that.
18:56Jay and I
18:57have a different style.
18:58He's funny,
18:59gentle,
19:00and considerate.
19:01Also,
19:02you can see
19:03his eyes towards Nancy.
19:04He won't let her
19:05wash the dishes.
19:06I've never imagined
19:07this happening
19:08to a Korean guy.
19:09So,
19:10girls in Hong Kong
19:11should think about
19:12your oppas.
19:19This is our
19:20traditional wedding ceremony
19:21in Korea.
19:22My mom and my sister
19:23wore Hanbok
19:24to the ceremony.
19:25Jay likes this picture
19:26the most.
19:27Our family members
19:28are all there.
19:30My friends in Hong Kong
19:31also flew there.
19:34It's a good memory.
19:36I was going to
19:37bring my grandma here.
19:39But the pandemic
19:40got worse.
19:42So,
19:43she couldn't go to the ceremony.
19:44She's a foreigner.
19:45So,
19:46she couldn't go to the ceremony.
19:47So,
19:48she couldn't go to the ceremony.
19:49So,
19:50she couldn't go to the ceremony.
19:51She's a foreigner.
19:52Maybe in the future,
19:53she'll want her grandma
19:54to come and live with her.
19:56This family
19:57is full of love
19:58and filial piety.
19:59Jay's dad
20:00is full of humor
20:01and caring.
20:02There's a cultural difference
20:03and different languages.
20:04None of these
20:05can stop him.
20:08This time,
20:09Jay and Nancy
20:10are from
20:11a Korean-Chinese family.
20:12Their kids
20:13are so cute.
20:14They speak
20:15different languages.
20:16Sometimes English,
20:17sometimes Korean,
20:18sometimes Chinese.
20:19We went to
20:20Chuncheon.
20:21Chuncheon.
20:22The kids
20:23speak all four languages.
20:25I was so touched
20:26when I heard
20:27Jay say
20:28it's not about
20:29the culture
20:30or the nationality.
20:31It's about
20:32the people themselves.
20:33I can see
20:34Jay and Nancy
20:35have a pure love
20:36for each other.
20:37for each other.
20:38It's beyond everything else.
20:39It's beyond everything else.
20:40So,
20:41this is
20:42a very warm
20:43and touching
20:44place
20:45for me.
20:49I want to be free
20:51I want to be free
20:53I want to be free
20:56I want to be free
20:59Did you know
21:00that food
21:01doesn't mean
21:02you can't eat it
21:03during the best season?
21:04It may not be
21:05the best food
21:06during the best season,
21:07but as long as
21:08it's stored properly,
21:09they might still be able to eat it.
21:10So, you should
21:11look at the label
21:12during the best season,
21:13and don't accidentally
21:14drop food
21:15that might be
21:16edible.
21:17It's best
21:18The fridge is the bridge of your family.
21:24I love my fridge.
21:48Is it too short?
21:50Yes, it's too short.
21:52Open your fridge.
21:54Tomorrow at 11pm on ViuTV.
