[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Joo-hee] Cooking researcher Baek Jong-won revisited the Deopjuk restaurant on Pohang's 'Kkumteullo'.

On the 29th broadcast of SBS entertainment show 'Baek Jong-won's Alley Restaurant' (Alley Restaurant), the fourth story of Pohang Kkumteullo alley was featured.

On this day, the owner of the Pohang Deopjuk restaurant began practicing cooking for five servings. However, they faced the problem of the sauce consistently coming out too watery. The production team who tasted it also said, "There is too much water and it is definitely watery."

The owner, troubled, suggested adding chive, but Baek Jong-won firmly said, "No." Then he asked, "We need to find the fundamental reason why there is so much water. Among the ingredients, which one has a lot of water?"

When the owner could not answer, Baek Jong-won said, "Seafood seems to have no moisture, but actually it has quite a lot. If you add chive in this state, it will all wilt and become like rice cake."

As Baek Jong-won said, the seafood added during the sauce cooking was the reason the porridge became watery. Baek Jong-won advised to stir-fry the vegetables thoroughly first, then stir-fry the seafood separately.

When the owner said they freeze the seafood, Baek Jong-won said, "It is best to prepare seafood fresh every morning if possible. It changes when frozen."

Baek Jong-won also advised, "Once the quantity becomes consistent, securing a supplier is best. It is good to regularly visit the market at a set time. You need to know information about the ingredients."

Then, comedian couple Shim Jin-hwa and Kim Won-hyo made a surprise appearance as customers at the Deopjuk restaurant.

After eating the rumored Deopjuk, Shim Jin-hwa said, "The downside is that I will eat too much because I don't even have to chew," and added, "Since the rice grains don't interfere, I can focus more on the seafood," sharing her tasting impression.

Kim Won-hyo, who said he doesn't like porridge much, also enjoyed the Siso Deopjuk, saying, "You can really feel the scent of the sea." Shim Jin-hwa suggested, "It might be good to let customers choose between rice, noodles, or porridge."

Seeing Shim Jin-hwa eating the Deopjuk deliciously, Kim Won-hyo asked, "Did they give you a small portion?" causing laughter.
