Singer Ahn Seong-hun transformed from a mere cooking assistant into the star of the kitchen, presenting a menu that drew both mixed reviews and dramatic praise. On TV CHOSUN's "Trot Kitchen: The Running Dinner Show," Ahn Seong-hun expressed strong confidence in his cooking by selecting tuna mayo rice balls as his menu item.

Ahn Seong-hun responds to senior's blunt "bland" critique by explaining the dish is meant to be eaten with side dishes

To prepare the tuna mayo rice balls, Ahn Seong-hun drained and mashed the tuna, focusing on the process to ensure the tuna would have a soft texture. He mixed sugar, low-sugar mayonnaise, and onions to form the rice balls, using perilla leaves to enhance the final presentation. Upon presenting the completed rice balls to his seniors, Ahn Seong-hun requested their "honest evaluations."

However, the seniors' reactions were cold. After tasting the rice balls, one senior offered the blunt assessment that they were "bland." Ahn Seong-hun did not panic, explaining his intention behind the menu by stating, "It is like that if you eat it alone, but I seasoned it that way because it is meant to be eaten with side dishes." The cooking scene also captured moments of tension, such as when he was restrained from attempting to adjust the seasoning directly during the process.

Flavor achieved with a pressure cooker earns praise: "Tastes better than what we had at the restaurant"

In addition to the rice balls, dishes prepared using a pressure cooker drew attention. To adapt to the outdoor environment, a menu that would normally require about 8 hours of simmering in a restaurant was cooked in a pressure cooker to reduce time. The dish, cooked in the pressure cooker to allow sufficient moisture to soak in, eventually led to high praise from the site.

After tasting the finished dishes, the seniors expressed satisfaction, using descriptions such as "it's more delicious than what we ate at the restaurant" or "it melts." In particular, regarding the soft texture and flavor of the meat, reactions such as "the visuals are no joke" and "the smell is crazy" followed, showing the moment the effort put into the cooking process was proven by the results.

The dinner show cooking process filled with heat and laughter

The overall cooking process captured the pleasant interactions among the cast members. Immersed in his cooking, Ahn Seong-hun shouted, "I am confident I can take first place," while communication with the director filming the process and jokes from seniors continued on set. The anticipation felt as the dishes were being completed and the lively atmosphere of the site well reflected the nature of the program "Trot Kitchen: The Running Dinner Show."

Ultimately, the cast members gave positive feedback and applauded the final completed dishes. The trial and error during the cooking process, the sharp taste evaluations from seniors, and the subsequent praise earned by overcoming them completed the joyful atmosphere on set.
