@ 7:38 japchae [jahp·chae] (잡채): Korean dish with various vegetables (typically thinly-sliced carrots, onion, spinach, and mushrooms) stir fried in sesame oil, usually with transparent noodles (dangmyeon), and sometimes with beef, soy sauce, and sugar, usually garnished with sesame seeds and chili pepper slices.
@DaDoc540 That is such a good Korean dish, im surprised that they didn't know what it was, since it is a pretty common korean dish. One of the top five, I would say, with kimchi, bulgogi, bibimbap, kimbap
Takes time to write out the menu in calligraphy while the other side is frantic with activity. The dude has a taste for drama, don't he, if you're into these kinda cooking shows, that is.
i wonder why he didn't choose the chinese cuisine chef. is it common to challenge chefs who specialise in different cuisines other than the one the challenger intends to cook? it's pretty strange then, cause there wouldn't really be basis for comparison.
This is pretty common. Sometimes the challenger will challenge the Iron Chef that he considers the strongest, regardless of his specialty. Other times, personal grudges motivate the decision. Personally, I find cross-cuisine battles more interesting; it shows better the versatility of the theme ingredient.
It is all part of what makes this show so awesome.
weren't they already informed of the ingredient before participating in the show in order to prepare the recipe for it? why does Zhijian look so surprised at 1:22. Lol... was it intentional? haha
odds are they give the English guys a rough translation and then have them say it in their own way, that would explain how well the comments flow at times...
@LadyTigerLily just remember that Chinese use characters not the spelling, you can spell 燒 as shao, and you can spell 燒 as xiao, besides, xiao is mainland china way of spelling but shao is taiwanese way of spelling, try not to use western way of thinking toward eastern natural
@pongchen2000 Yes, you're right, but I highly doubt that it's the case here. Pronunciation makes a big difference, even dialectal ones. The dub makes other similar mistakes, though their Japanese pronunciations tend to be okay.
MAN when Chairman kaga introduced the eggs - then the followup introduction before the famous ALLEZ CUISINE - I felt what an EPIC feel it had wow I miss this show!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
im surprised those commentators didnt know what japchae is....arent korean dish supposed to be pretty popular in japan... and isnt 1 of the commentator a culinary doctor?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
These commentators suck. The female moans like a slut while the guys say stupid shit like "...because it contains more protein". They should be commenting on a porno film, not a REAL cooking show.
I wonder why the guy didn't pick Chen san. It'll nice to have an authentic Chinese chef going against what the Japanese considered to be Chinese cooking.
if there is such a thing as being born again...i want to be asian. i have the greatest respect for all asian cultur....im a redneck from close to atmore alabama.
They actually re-used the same clip after the first few episodes. The Iron Chefs were busy chefs on their own, they could not afford to stay in kitchen stadium nor dress up for TV. The Iron Chef was actually chosen by the challenger ahead of time. When I first heard about this, I was crushed! Hahaha.
Do the competing chefs and iron chefs at least have any idea of the theme before the match starts? It seems hard to just go out there with a whole team of people then suddenly having to cook with a random ingredient preparing dishes in sync with specific duties.
Zhijian is so excited just to be there. It's an honor to be asked to battle against the Iron Chefs, but its also nice to know the challengers are appreciative for that opportunity.
swallow is a kind of bird..so swallow nest is its nest..but this nest is not make of wood or grass...the bird actually spit from its mouth to make the nest sticky. this sticky stuffs contain of high protein which, for chinese ppl....it's good for health n it's expensive too
That's because the american version is way too too fancy than this, even the kitchen stadium is too fancy...i agree, the japanese version is much much much better
when the challenger saw the theme his face was like 'WOW!' but the iron chef was like 'ha, i got this', love his face!
