‘Ingredient Manager’ Lee Young-ja and ‘Cooking Madman’ Chef Yoon Nam-no open up a whole new world of extraordinary gastronomy maximizing wasabi by 200%.

On the 424th episode of the MBC variety program ‘Omniscient Interfering View’ (hereafter ‘The Manager’) airing today (14th) at 11:10 PM KST, a special wasabi feast hosted by the ‘NEW Ingredient Expedition Team’—consisting of Lee Young-ja, Boom, and Yoon Nam-no—will unfold. A bizarre and brilliant cooking parade utilizing freshly harvested wasabi from roots to stems and leaves without wasting a single part is expected to stimulate viewers’ appetite.

First, Lee Young-ja takes on an ambitious new project: ‘Wasabi Leaf Kimchi,’ which is set to follow in the footsteps of her countless legendary kimchi syndromes, ranging from the legendary green onion kimchi that made Jun Hyun-moo a ‘green onion fanatic’ to giant green onion kimchi. In particular, she surprises everyone with an ingenious recipe that replaces glutinous rice paste with ‘rice koji yogurt’ for an ultra-simple seasoning, complemented by sweet and crunchy autumn raw chestnuts. Moreover, ‘Shake-it Boom,’ who volunteers as an assistant chef, acts as a reliable supporter, infusing the cooking scene with pleasant energy. Attention is focused on whether Lee Young-ja’s wasabi leaf kimchi will ignite another kimchi craze in the entertainment industry.

Not to be outdone, Chef Yoon Nam-no unleashes his professional genius mode in earnest. Having previously revealed his bitter daily life of opening a new restaurant, taking on a massive 600 million won loan debt, and going around begging for ‘beggar’s rice,’ Yoon Nam-no flexes with a different scale of generosity on this day.

To maximize the rich flavor of precious raw wasabi, he generously prepares top-tier beef known to be the second most expensive in the country. Starting with a flavor-packed wasabi shiitake mushroom paste, followed by raw beef (yukhoe) infused with a special pear-drink-based sauce for an added kick, and ending with an exotic steak featuring top-quality beef generously layered with fresh raw wasabi, the feast hits the pinnacle of gastronomy. Lee Young-ja and Boom reportedly could not hide their admiration for wasabi’s unimaginable, infinite transformation.

Expectations are high for the ultimate taste combination that the three will discover in this wasabi feast—created by the unrivaled ideas of ‘ingredient manager’ Lee Young-ja and the overwhelming culinary prowess of ‘cooking madman’ Yoon Nam-no—during an expedition team eating show that seems like it will never end.
