Lee Min-jung's 'ultra-fast cooking recipe' found while raising her 19-month-old daughter...Lee Byung-hun was surprised, too



Actor Lee Min-jung confessed the 'high efficiency recipe' of a working mother raising a 19-month-old daughter.

On Lee Min-jung's YouTube channel on the 2nd, 'How about spicy chili paste stew today? A video titled 'MJ's Ultra-Simple Red Pepper Paste Stew Recipe' was uploaded.

On this day, Lee Min-jung decided to invite chef Yoon Sung-won, an acquaintance of Lee Min-jung, to cook red pepper paste stew.




Lee Min-jung said "I'm a home-cooked meal teacher, and you might wonder what a guest who suddenly eats means, but if I make red pepper paste stew, it'll be over quickly. I thought I was very good at it and ate it deliciously, but I invited him because he said, "Let's find someone who can do something that tastes more spicy and delicious." he explained.

Chef Yoon Sung-won said, "'What food can I eat before I die?' is soy sauce marinated crab, but soul food is gochujang jjigae. It was my father's favorite food that I remember from elementary school."

Lee Min-jung, who was explaining the recipe hard, said "When I was full of passion, had no children, and had a lot of time, I made broth by putting radish and onion in the sauce, but it was so hard. However, the commercial broth pack is seasoned, so it's good to not have to season other things."

Chef Yoon Sung-won, who said it is better to cut the ingredients with a knife than to grind them in a blender, lamented, `I'm 19 months old now.'

Then "I always study high efficiency in minimum time. It's because I don't have much time even if I have a little more money" he confided.
