EXO's Chanyeol 'moderately' cooks kimchi tomato pasta

By Marah Ruiz

EXO's Chanyeol once again showcased his culinary skills in a new vlog he posted on NNG, a YouTube channel he shares with friend and producer MQ.

This time, he demonstrated how to cook kimchi tomato pasta--a recipe he found online.

"There's something similar on the internet. Someone posted it first, but I thought of it first," he joked.

He also admitted that it is only the second time he is cooking the dish.

"I researched it and made it. Actually, the first try was unsuccessful. This is the second try," he says.

As many foreign fans might not be used to the taste, he advised them to put in kimchi and other ingredients "moderately."

Aside from that, Chanyeol can be seen mostly eyeballing the measurements and proportions, repeatedly claiming to add in things "moderately."

Here's how to cook Chanyeol's kimchi tomato pasta.

Ingredients

  • kimchi
  • spaghetti noodles
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • plain tomato sauce
  • parsley
  • mushrooms
  • onion, cut into strips
  • garlic, minced and chopped
  • Parmesan cheese
  • chili pepper, chopped

Procedure

  1. Boil a "moderate" amount of noodles with salt and a "moderate" amount of olive oil
  2. Saute minced garlic and "moderately" chopped garlic together
  3. Once garlic is brown, add onions and mushrooms
  4. Once onions and mushrooms are cooked, add kimchi
  5. Add a scoop of pasta water
  6. Add chopped chili pepper
  7. When liquid is reduced, add tomato sauce
  8. Toss in drained pasta and heat for a while
  9. Add more tomato sauce if you feel that it is too dry
  10. Plate and top with Parmesan cheese and parsley

Chanyeol's recipe for tteokbokki or spicy rice cakes went viral three years after he originally shared the recipe online.

He is also rumored to be working with fellow EXO member Sehun on the follow-up to "What a Life," the debut mini album for their sub-unit EXO-SC.

Their label SM Entertainment has yet to confirm if the two are gearing up for a comeback.
