Wednesday Gourmet (Wednesday Food Talk / 수요미식회)

Welcome to the 216th episode of Wednesday Food Talk.

Welcome. - Welcome.

Today's theme is...

what you can have in a midsummer night when it is still hot.

You can get away from the heat with a delicious late-night snack.

It is a midsummer night's feast.

Here are today's guests.

We have two actors here. - Right.

Our guests usually come to promote their dramas or movies.

But he is here to promote his YouTube channel.

Please welcome Han Sang Jin.

She recently got cast as the main character of a drama.

She is an actress with strong ambitions, Kim Bo Mi.

Bo Mi, you are here with Sang Jin.

So I asked the production crew.

They told me that you two are close.

They asked Bo Mi if Sang Jin is a good friend.

And you said that Sang Jin is a good fellow actor...

who treats you to a lot of meals.

That's right. He is known as...

a friend with a big nose who treats a lot of meals.

A friend with a big nose.

I played as his sister when we were in a drama together.

He always took care of my meals at the shooting site.

He always asks me,

"What do you want to have today?"

He always treats me to beef.

He buys you beef? - He does sigh before paying,

but he buys me beef anyway.

She's a good friend, but she doesn't know when to stop.

Then one day, we were drinking together.

He asked me, "Do you want to be on my YouTube channel?"

I told him that I would love to because I was drunk.

From that day onward, he started treating me to beef...

instead of paying me.

I am his assistant host. - Assistant host.

You are the host? - She's the assistant.

She is almost like the main host.

Bo Mi is featured on more than half of my videos.

Her videos have the highest views too.

Really? - Yes.

You treat her to beef instead. - Beef is my pay.

I treat her to beef instead of paying her.

I buy her the best beef.

They are really close. - Right.

Today's theme is a midnight summer's feast.

In other words, we'll talk about late-night snacks.

That's right. - What is a late-night snack?

I want to know how people define it.

For me, a late-night snack is...

the fourth meal of the day.

When you had two meals,

and have the third meal after 10pm, that doesn't count as a night snack.

That's just supper.

A late-night snack is the fourth meal of the day.

That makes sense.

For me, a late-night snack has to be something other than three meals.

People define it in different ways.

People have different preferences too.

What is your favorite late-night snack?

I like to have late-night snacks...

sold in a cart bar.

Cart bars used to have blue tents.

They sell fish cake soup there.

I love pork cartilage. - Pork cartilage?

It's really delicious.

Do you like to drink?

I don't like drinking.

I can't drink a lot.

But I visit a cart bar to have late-night snacks with my friends.

In fact, I went to...

a college near Mount Namsan in Myeong-dong.

I used to walk to Wangsimni from there...

and go to a small intestines stall in Seoul Jungang Market.

I went for small intestines. - Right.

That place sold pork entrails too.

I still can't forget how delicious it was.

It was so good. - Pork entrails?

Pork entrails, right.

I went to this place with my girlfriend during my college days.

I did not have much money then.

I ordered one portion for her.

And I just had the onions.

I had the onions, and she had the pork entrails.

Your body must have gotten healthy.

Onions are good for health. - Right.

The pork entrails stall was amazing.

How about you, Seok Jin?

I usually have ramyeon as a late-night snack.

I've had it since I was young. - Gosh, ramyeon is the best.

My dad used to make ramyeon at night.

It's just delicious when he makes it.

My dad also adds green onions.

I remember having that at night.

I used to have ramyeon in its bag when I was in the army.

It's the best late-night snack for me.

Ramyeon is irreplaceable.

It is a very enticing food.

I also like ramyeon.

But when you have it at night,

your face gets swollen the next day.

"Who are you?" - I can't even recognize myself.

I thought of a way to get get swollen.

Add just two-thirds of the powder.

It will still taste the same.

How about the water? - You put the same amount.

Everything else stays the same. - Then it'd be the best.

You can make it even more savory with mayonnaise.

I add a spoon of mayonnaise.

Won't it make you fatter?

Calories do not matter here.

You just have to satisfy your needs.

But you do not want to have a swollen face the next day.

It lessens the salinity level. - Right.

That's why I add mayonnaise.

To cover up a missing portion of the powder,

I add a bit of mustard.

It becomes really refreshing. How should I put this?

It's something you have never tried before.

It goes really well with the powder.

Then the ramyeon gets savory.

But when you have water afterward,

it won't get out of your body.

It will be locked up in your body. That's how you get swollen.

Have a piece of tomato instead of water.

It helps with discharging potassium.

Have a slice of tomato.

You get less swollen?

I wouldn't go through such trouble just to have a bowl of ramyeon.

I know. - But it's really irresistible.

I have to think so much about it since I'm a woman.

I always have inner conflicts with two bags of ramyeon in front of me.

I just can't make up my mind. I keep changing it.

I take it out and put it back several times. After putting away,

I end up taking it out again and opening up to eat it.

That's me giving into my craving, but as a solution,

I'd do something else. - That's right.

I crave ramyeon too. Even when I had a filling dinner,

I'd crave ramyeon late at night.

Since I feel really guilty eating late at night, I'd eat only half.

Gosh. But I would sprinkle...

the leftover seasoning over the leftover noodles...

and eat it.

Thinking that it's less fattening. - Right.

I'd think it's less fattening. - It's only a snack.

Bo Mi, I heard that you love spicy food.

Yes, I love spicy food.

I love those unbelievably spicy food like dakbal and spicy tteokbokki.

I always order a dish that has "spicy" in its name.

And when I eat dakbal...

In Sinsa-dong, there's a dakbal restaurant that starts with Hong.

Their dakbal is really spicy. - Yes, indeed.

The 1st or 2nd pieces are the spiciest.

But after my 1st or 2nd pieces, I can't taste the spiciness.

And when I eat the spicy tteokbokki,

I always add Chinese wide glass noodles in my tteokbokki.

That's why I always have those glass noodles at home.

That's different.

But So Eun, you're an actress, after all.

I bet you can't eat a lot of late-night snacks due to your diet.

Even if I want to eat late-night snacks, I try not to eat them.

I try to avoid them.

But I have to eat it when I'm drinking.

I'd die without it. I had to eat it.

I'd just go for fried food without thinking about the calories.

So I would go to a jeon restaurant.

I'd have jeon with makgeolli.

That's the day when I don't care about my diet at all and just drink.

But when I can't even eat that, I try so hard to hold out.

At convenience stores, they sell this cheese.

You microwave it before eating it. The convenience stores sell them.

I would tear off a small piece, drink it with wine, and go to sleep.

But according to the staff,

Chan Il... I wouldn't have guessed it about him.

You said that you always eat something at night...

Late-night snacks keep me going. - before bed.

I really love late-night snacks,
