I was asked a few weeks ago to judge a kimchi jjigae cooking contest on Star King, a popular variety show on SBS. The first part will air this Saturday at 6:25 P.M. I don’t think I appear in this one, which is the preliminary round with a ton of contestants. But I saw a recap of that part, and it was exciting to watch. Funny, too. You don’t need to understand Korean to enjoy it.
The three-part episode, titled “요리킹 Yori King” (Cooking King) will air this Saturday, June 2nd, and June 9th, and June 16th.
I won’t give away any spoilers other than the final winner made a truly fine pot of kimchi jjigae.
Oh, and I also got to hang out a bit with Lee Teuk of Super Junior.
(was pretty simple)
I am afraid you misspelled the Korean word, “요리캉” the correct spell is 요리킹.
Ah, so I did. Need to write in a larger font.
I watched the show today. Saw some interesting variations of 김치찌개.
How did the pizza-kimchi-stew really taste anyway? greasy and disgusting? a “Eureka” moment?
The pizza one I was dreading, but it actually tasted great. Very much like a pizza. It only lost points because it really wasn’t like a kimchi jjigae. It was the favorite of some of the celebrity panelists.
