‘Newly Released Convenience Store Restaurant’ Ryu Soo-young reveals a recipe for radish kimchi that doesn‘t exist in the world.

On the KBS 2TV ‘Newly Released Convenience Store Restaurant’ (hereafter ‘Convenience Store Restaurant’) broadcast on the night of the 17th, ‘Trustworthy and Eating Teacher Eo-nam’ Ryu Soo-young will present another blockbuster recipe.

Last week, Ryu Soo-young created a sensation by making the signature stir-fried sea squirt, a rice-thief side dish, with an unimaginable ‘Recipe that doesn’t exist in the world’, which set a record for highest viewership ratings. This time, Ryu Soo-young raises expectations by saying that he will make radish kimchi, a dish loved by people of all ages, easily with a ‘Recipe that doesn‘t exist in the world’.

Ryu Soo-young’s VCR that will be revealed that day began with Ryu Soo-young looking somewhat haggard as he engrossed himself in recipe research. Last September, Ryu Soo-young started researching radish kimchi recipes for the ‘Mr. Eo-nam‘s Own Mission 100-day Project’. Since radish is usually in season in the winter, radish kimchi is pickled in the winter, but Ryu Soo-young aroused curiosity by researching radish kimchi recipes starting in the middle of summer.

Ryu Soo-young said, “If I want to introduce radish when it’s delicious, I have to prepare a quarter in advance. That way, viewers can eat delicious radish in season” and “I pickled radish kimchi countless times”. In fact, Ryu Soo-young personally made a whopping 70 different radish kimchi recipes in the past 100 days. Ryu Soo-young also surprised everyone by saying, “I even looked up academic papers” to research this radish kimchi recipe. All the ‘Pyeon Restaurant’ family members gave Ryu Soo-young‘s incredible professionalism a thumbs up, saying, “Amazing.”

Ryu Soo-young’s radish kimchi recipe that was revealed next was truly ‘surprise itself’, ‘a recipe that doesn‘t exist in the world’. Ryu Soo-young made the radish kimchi with only one kimchi container. Usually, when you make kimchi, there are many dishes to wash, such as when you pickle the ingredients and mix the seasoning. However, Ryu Soo-young’s radish kimchi can be made with an extremely strong flavor without any dishwashing, as long as you have an airtight container.

Ryu Soo-young‘s ‘Unlike-ever-in-the-world radish kimchi’ recipe, which includes ingredients that are revealed here and there, surprising tips and tricks you’d never have thought of, and recipes that anyone can easily follow after watching once, will be revealed on KBS 2TV‘s ‘New Release Convenience Store Restaurant’, which airs on the 17th at 8:30 PM.
