However, since they were supposed to use the same ingredients as the previous round, their dishes turned out to be quite similar, yet contrasting in taste.They both moved forward with preparing braised croaker. While Chef Jung Ho-young was going with the Japanese braising technique, Chef Sam Kim made it with the Italian poaching method.Sharing more about his method, Culinary Class Wars' Chef Jung Ho-young confessed to the cameras:"I added brewed soy sauce and simmered till glossy. That's when I added the burdock roots. I also cubed some tofu. And seared them with a torch. That way, they'll be firm on the outside but tender on the inside...in the braise. And that way, it's not just boring braised croaker."Culinary Class Wars Season 2 Episode 10: Chef Jung Ho-young and Chef Sam Kim prepare braised croaker during Life-or-Death Match View this post on Instagram Instagram PostCulinary Class Wars' Chef Jung Ho-young recalled the previous round where he and Chef Sam Kim were teammates."I think we had about ten different ideas, when we initially bought all of our ingredients."Chef Sam Kim also noted that he had no idea that their ingredients and idea would pay off.

He replied that it was because he and "Italian" styles didn't get along."I decided to go with the most classic method for Japanese cuisine...braising. Truth is, I'm great with braising. I added cooking wine, sake, sugar, and then the fish, and started braising. The fish gets a bit tender as it absorbs the sweetness," shared Chef Jung Ho-young.He also added brewed soy sauce and burdock roots. He also cubed some tofu and seared it with a torch. They would be firm on the outside and tender on the inside. With such ingredients added to his dish, it won't be just a "boring" braised croaker.Similar to the team match, he didn't want the croaker swim bladder to go to waste. So, cleaned it and prepped it.
