Subtitles by tvN Asia

The late 19th century, Shandong Province in China.

There was food called jakjangmyun.

Various kinds of Chinese food including jakjangmyun

were imported with merchants to Korea.

And it became a totally different food culture

by a number of masters.

In 2018,

a consummate chef of taste

is going to take the bet

in the home China.

Hello.

I'm a Chinese cusine chef, Lee Yeon–bok

who likes Chinese food so much.

I have a 46–year working experience.

I was the head chef in the Taiwan embassy in Korea.

I've stayed in Japan for 10 years.

I've been running my business for about 16 years.

Oh, almost 20 years.

I started it due to my family background.

My family had a financial problem,

so someone had to sacrifice

to earn money for my family.

So, I started working as a deliery man for a restaurant

when I was in the 6th grade,

and didn't even graduate from an elementary school.

Many people may eat jajangmyun in China

and 8 out of 10 don't like it.

The sauce is salty and there're many vegetables.

It's a big difference.

(Chinese jakjangmyun, Korean jajangmyun)

(Did you know that? Chinese jakjangmyun)

(and Korean jajangmyun are totally different)

I'm wondering the most

that when local people in China eat

Chinese food from Korea,

how they will give a review.

I'm very wondering about it.

Chinese people may be reluctant to

the color of it.

But, I think they will say it's delicious

after eating it.

(Kim Kang–woo 41, Cooking ability: mid–upper level)

I think you're good at preparing cooking.

You cut onions very well.

I worked hard at that time,

but I may cut my finger myself

if I don't do it for a long time.

Wow, it seems that

Kang–woo has sliced a squid many times.

(He was not sure about boiling the noodles too)

I'm not sure.

Buy this. Eat this.

while cooking.

fast and helpful.

You can do it.

It's my first time to drive in China.

I'm so hungry.
