Park Jung-soo of 'Newly Launched Fun-Staurant' showed off his cooking skills.
On KBS 2TV's 'Pyeonstorang' (hereafter referred to as 'Pyeonstorang'), which aired on the 26th, actor Park Jeong-soo made his first appearance as a new special chef. Park Jeong-soo, who has 50 years of housekeeping experience, is said to be a gourmet and a master cook. Park Jeong-soo's daily life, housekeeping skills, and cooking taste, which were first revealed, drew attention. This is because she was a 'tminhal (grandmother who is sensitive to trends)', which is opposite to the image of a K-mother or a fierce mother-in-law shown in various works.
The day of Park Jung-soo, which was revealed on this day, began with sunlight. Appearing in a white shirt and jeans, Park Jung-soo enjoyed a cup of coffee in the sunlight. Amid admiration for a CF-like picture, Park Jung-soo started preparing breakfast in earnest. Everyone expected that there would be savory soybean paste stew and delicious namul. However, Park Jung-soo's morning menu was European brunch style.
Park Jung-soo took out the burrata cheese that he had marinated in fresh cream the day before from the refrigerator and sprinkled it with olive oil and peppercorns. After slicing and tasting the burrata cheese with an elegant blade, Park took out a Kingsberry and held it with both hands to eat. In an instant, the members of the 'Pyunstorang' family thought of the MZ generation representative, Jang Won-young, a member of Ive, eating strawberries with both hands. When Park Jung-soo said, "I have wrinkles around my mouth, I am a grandmother," and laughed.
Park Jung-soo introduced several special recipes to match his nickname 'Tminhal'. Park Jeong-soo brought out salmon gravlax, which was aged with dill and lemon zest. Park Jeong-soo, who said he searched for a recipe to enjoy healthy salmon without the peculiar smell, upgraded the recipe by grinding beets into whole. Thanks to this, salmon gravlax, which has a tangy texture and color, was born.
Park Jeong-soo showed the magic of making steak with brisket for soup. It was dry-aged with kelp powder. Park Jeong-soo applied plenty of seaweed powder to the brisket of grade 3 beef and aged it for 5 to 7 days. After that, the kelp powder was removed and grilled like a steak. Park Jeong-soo said, “It can be eaten for a long time and is good for health because it contains less oil. The price is cheap because it is low-grade meat, but the taste has been upgraded. Good value for money,” he said.
Park Jung-soo beautifully plated salmon gravlax and kelp-aged steak. Park Jung-soo said, “After a 15-year hiatus, I started again as an extra. I ran only looking ahead, but suddenly I thought, 'I hope I don't wake up tomorrow'. Because I have been through such a time, I live thinking that someday I will have to love myself.” “The older I get, the less courage I have to take on challenges. No need to. If you do it, it's all done,” he said, giving an impression.
However, Park Jeong-soo did not only show trendy dishes. Park Jeong-soo always makes various side dishes and healthy meals for her husband, PD Jeong Eul-yeong, who likes Korean food unlike herself. In Park Jeong-soo's refrigerator, there were 13 side dishes, grain shakes to fill the stomach of her husband who doesn't like rice, and vinegared garlic, which is good for her husband's health. Producer Jeong Eul-yeong's housekeeping based on her 50 years of housekeeping experience in consideration of her taste and health drew admiration. Park Jeong-soo said, "I don't have aegyo. Our old man (PD Jeong Eul-young) is a bit sweet." "When I open the door in the morning, he says, 'There's a light over there. Let's see my wife's face.' said. He also praised him, saying, “He is like a boy,” and “Sensitive and detailed.
Actor Lee Chae-min, who appeared as a special MC on this day, revealed the story of Jung Kyung-ho, the son of Park Jeong-soo, and created a sense of warmth. Lee Chae-min said of Jung Kyung-ho, “Every time we met, he talked to me and gave me a lot of laughter. A senior I want to see next time, a senior who makes my heart flutter even when men see it.” In response, Park Jung-soo was pleased, but laughed when he said, “Now give me a compliment.”
Park Jeong-soo has been dating PD Jeong Eul-yeong since 2008, and they are currently living together and maintaining a common-law marriage relationship. Producer Jung Eul-young is also the father of actor Jung Kyung-ho.
