This show is for those who eat alone but
are tired of prepared meals or eating out.
I'm your host Jisook and I'll be researching
healthy, happy meals for you.
Nice to meet you.
Our chef is going to help upgrade
my cooking skills today.
Hello, Chef Seo Hyeonmyeong.
Hello. I'm Seo Hyeonmyeong,
master chef of meals for singles.
I'll be supporting you as of today
and help you become a true lone eater.
Wow, thank you. I think I can rely on you.
I feel confident already.
The idea behind The Cooking Institute is that
I research and cook meals for lone eaters
and deliver the meals direct to them.
It's a one-stop cooking show for lone eaters.
Today is the 1st episode so
we've invited master lone eaters.
They'll make our 1st episode more enjoyable.
We have some pro lone eaters in front of me.
Should we begin with a round of applause?
(Welcome)
Just for today,
stop eating alone and let's all eat together.
I hope you enjoy this tasting session
and have a great time.
- We've prepared something. / - That's right.
We need evidence to prove
that they're pro lone eaters.
That's why I prepared this.
- Please wait a moment. / - Okay.
Chef Seo, you're so eager.
I prepared this panel.
- Before the shoot. / - Wow.
I did some research.
(Hongik Univ. Station, April 11th)
(Lone eaters attach stickers to show their level)
(The result?)
The results are surprising.
Many people chose levels 4 and 5.
There is a total of 10 levels.
Surprisingly, many eat at barbecue meat restaurants.
You're right.
I think we should interview them and meet them.
I'm curious about this person.
Their ID really stands out.
WALWARI.
WALWARI, you ate at a barbecue meat restaurant?
It's level 9.
- Yes. That's me. / - It's a girl?
- Hello. / - Hello.
WALWARI's the name of my team.
I'm the Chinese member of the group. I'm Jyunky.
You're from China?
Yes. I'm living abroad at the moment.
Sometimes I miss Chinese food.
Your Korean's so fluent.
You're better at Korean than I am.
I'm good at Korean.
I'm not modest.
If I want to eat lamb skewers,
I have no one to go with.
I go and eat lamb by myself.
- You grill your own skewers? / - Yes.
- You watch it cook and eat? / - Yes.
- You drink beer alone? / - Yes.
Goodness me.
I've eaten Chinese hot pot alone too.

- She's a master. / - Thank you.
A real master.
Let's see. Mr. Yonggari?
Where's Mr. Yonggari?
I have a reason behind it.
The reason I started to eat alone...
After I broke up with my girlfriend...
Oh, dear.
I wanted to burn away my memories of her...
That's how it began. Now, when I need to think,
if I want to gather my thoughts...
I go to barbecue meat restaurants alone.
- Really? / - Yes.
If you eat meat alone at a barbecue meat restaurant,
do you sense people looking at you?
I don't focus on the other customers.
I just focus on the meat and my thoughts.
You need to focus on burning your memories.
Right. I have to cook them.
You wrap up your thoughts in lettuce and eat.
Yes, that's right. That's what it's like.
- I understand. / - Yes.
We need to ask a person that's at level 10.
It's really hard to eat and drink alone.
- You can eat alone. / - Right.
- But drinking alone... / - I agree.
You could end up looking pitiful.
- As though you have a story to tell. / - Right.
ID jhk3...
- With 4 stars. / - Yes, with 4 stars.
There are a lot of stars. Where are you?
Hello.
Hello.
- I went to university in Busan. / - I see.
- Seafood is famous in Busan. / - Right.
I love seafood.
Sashimi tastes so good with soju.
- Sashimi's served in large portions. / - Right.
As you can see, I don't eat just one serving.
- Large size? / - Right.
- A large plate of flatfish sashimi. / - Right.
I love sashimi.
How many bottles of soju with the sashimi?
I drink 4 or 5 bottles.
(Shock)
4 to 5 bottles?
How does that feel?
Some people become happy when they drink.
Some people become sad.
When I drink alcohol...
- I befriend the restaurant owners. / - Wow.
You're a real pro.
I become a regular customer.
I always go to the same places,
so they make sure I don't feel awkward alone.
They sit with me, talk to me.
- He's a total pro. / - He's a pro.
He goes alone but makes friends with everyone.
That's a gift.
Let's meet one more person. This is fun.
This person.
3rd Year Office Worker. I want to meet them.
- Hello. / - Hello.
I've had an office job for 3 years.
(She makes everyone laugh with her introduction)
- She's so cute. / - She's cute.
(Embarrassed)
When I'm working,
I usually eat alone because I work by myself.
- You're alone? / - I work at an insurance company.
I work with people my mother's age.
- You have different tastes? / - Yes, that's right.
At first, I ate at convenience stores,
then Chinese restaurants and then fast food...
Then I thought it would ruin my health.
- That's right. / - I felt that way.
I decided to eat rice
and went to taxi driver restaurants.
- I like taxi driver restaurants! / - A woman alone?
The people are really friendly there.
I went to taxi driver restaurants and ate kimchi stew.
Now, I even go to sushi places alone.
- Sushi restaurants? / - Yes.
I go alone, have lunch.
If your customers frustrated you...
- You could've ended up here. / - Yes, on level 10.
You could've ended up drinking sake.
Anyway, I can see that those who eat alone
want to eat delicious foods. Right.
- We all have something in common. / - Right.
We can relate to each other.
I think we can cook something delicious.
Let's now begin cooking a meal for
these lone eaters.
(Looking forward to it)
Which menu should we decide on?
I thought hard about it.
It's in season in spring, it's healthy and
I think it's good for diets.
Webfoot octopus.
That's an excellent choice.
I received a compliment!
In terms of nutrition, it contains a lot of
good protein as well as vitamins and minerals.
It's great for women who are dieting.
Then what kind of dishes
can we make with webfoot octopus?
(Park Daewoong) Lone eaters want simple
- meals. That are easy to cook. / - That's right.
- How about fried rice? / - That's good.
(Lee Jingu) I think we should add a spring vegetable.
You can't go past water dropwort in spring.
Yes, water dropwort.
(Lee Wonmi) If I may give you a slight tip.
Fry thin slices of garlic in oil.
- Make garlic flakes. / - I love that!
To finish, add them on top
of the fried rice for great plating.
That makes it look better in photos, right?
I prefer eating to taking photos.
Okay. Let's begin cooking for our pro lone eaters.
It's healthy, delicious webfoot octopus fried rice.
- Webfoot octopus fried rice. / - Let's begin cooking.
(Webfoot octopus, water dropwort, chili pepper)
(Onion, garlic, spring onion)
- The main ingredient is webfoot octopus. / - Right.
Isn't it hard to clean webfoot octopus?
I'm sure everyone has flour at home.
Use that to clean the webfoot octopus.
The impurities contained inside
all come out. Wash it clean.
(Rinse several times to get rid of the flour)
- Like this. / - Like so.
Rinse several times.
It's easy.
They're really clean.
They felt a little slimy earlier.
It feels really clean now.
We need to remove the organs inside.
I need to touch your head. Like this?
Place your fingers inside.
- Did I do a good job? / - Yes.
Webfoot octopus have teeth.
Press hard on the bottom of the legs.
- You have to remove that. / - Like this?
- This is the tooth? / - Yes, the tooth.
It's so tiny.
- Have I finished cleaning them already? / - Yes!
It's really easy.
It's easy!
Let's move on to the vegetables.
- I'll slice. / - Let's begin slicing.
(Slice the garlic)
- You're good. / - I know.
(Dice the onion)
- I should get married. / - Do you have a boyfriend?
No.
That's why I eat alone.
(They make a good couple)
(Slice the spring onion)
If you can't be bothered, just use scissors.
(I'll do that for the chili pepper)
It's so easy to cut like this.
The vegetables are ready.
Let me explain the sauce ingredients.
Oyster sauce.
I prepared healthy apple extract, not sugar.
If you don't have apple extract, use another fruit.
Next, cooking wine.
Refined rice wine.
We're going to use salt at the end to season.
You can make a large batch and refrigerate it.
You can store it for a long time.
Let's blanch the webfoot octopus now.
Less than 20 seconds in boiling water.
Just dip it the water and take it out.
- Like shabu shabu. / - Like shabu shabu.
- You're born in 1990, right? / - Yes.
When were you born?
Age is just a number.
It's just a number, but?
- It's ready. / - You're younger?
Are you younger than me?
You made me do all this as your senior?
Ma'am, add the garlic now.
- It's burning. / - Yes, okay.
Hurry up and add them.
(Fry vegetables until they're transparent)
Once the vegetables are ready, add the rice.
The rice has to be coated in oil to taste good.
The rice is coated now.
- Then... / - It looks delicious.
The main ingredient!
Webfoot octopus.
Add the webfoot octopus.
Next, watch the color as you add the sauce.
I think that's enough.
(Mouthwatering)
It's ready. We just have to plate it now.
Sprinkle the water dropwort.
(Attention grabbing)
This is totally...
- We could sell this at a restaurant. / - Yes.
I can boast about making this myself.
It's perfect to upload on your SNS.
It looks delicious.
(Easy, quick and healthy webfoot octopus fried rice)
(Curious, expectant)
(Nervous)
(Let's taste it)
(Yum)
- Should we try it too? / - We haven't tasted it yet.
We don't know how it tastes.
(Excited)
(Yummy)
It's good.
It's delicious.
This tastes really good.
It tastes good alone.
If you look here, our guests brought some sides
that will taste good with our main menu.
This is a set.
- Flying fish roe. / - What's this?
Flying fish roe, perilla leaves.
- Let's use this. / - Who brought this?
- I did. / - Goodness.
- Let's wrap the rice in it. / - You made such an effort.

Goodness.
(Webfoot octopus fried rice, perilla leaves, fish roe?)
- It's good. / - The texture...
I can hear the eggs pop in your mouth.
It's delicious. I'm glad you brought this.
My mouth contains an array of flavors.
My mouth is filled with texture.
This is a little different.
Lemon radish wraps?
Radish wraps? We're not eating meat.
I thought that I might be able to use the knife today.
I wanted to give you both a flower as a gift.
- A flower? / - A flower?
(Flower using radish wraps?)
Take the round radish and cut it in half.
Once you've cut it in half, fold it in half again.
Just add some slits with the knife.
Then roll it up.
Then just open up the slits.
(Wow!)
Does it look like a flower?
This is a good idea.
This would be perfect to go up on Instagram.
Add it on top. It's a flower.
(A radish flower blooms on the plate)
I've never seen radish wraps eaten like this.
Fold in half, just add some slits and roll it up
to make a flower.
(Fried rice becomes more delicious with the sides)
We've enjoyed our meal.
- Let's make our dish more special. / - A name!
Why don't we give it a new name?

Something fun for people who eat alone.
