On Monday, November 9, television personality DAIGO compared a chef’s flipping technique to a powerbomb during a morning cooking broadcast, drawing amusement from viewers.
The broadcast of DAIGO mo Daidokoro ~ Kyō no Kondate Nani ni Suru? ~ on ABC TV and TV Asahi focused on bean sprouts and pea shoots as budget-friendly ingredients.
The main difficulty in preparing the dish lies in flipping the thick omelet in a frying pan without breaking its shape or spilling the ingredients. Kawasaki demonstrated that the success rate increases when a spatula is inserted deeply underneath the egg mixture so the cook can lift it up alongside the pan itself.
As Kawasaki effortlessly flipped the omelet, DAIGO watched with apparent admiration and remarked, “Like a powerbomb.” When Kawasaki looked confused by the remark, DAIGO clarified, “In pro wrestling…”
Kawasaki apologized for not understanding the reference immediately, explaining that he was not very familiar with wrestling. DAIGO quickly admitted that he was not an expert either, noting that he had used the term without deep knowledge of the move.
Viewers shared reactions on social media, with one writing, “I didn’t really understand either,” while another posted that DAIGO likely wanted to say “powerbomb” despite lacking wrestling knowledge.
The recipe for the bean sprouts and pea shoots omelet calls for 100 grams of bean sprouts, one bag of pea shoots, 40 grams of sliced ham, 1/5 teaspoon of salt, a pinch of pepper, four eggs, and three tablespoons of salad oil. The seasoning for the eggs includes 1/3 teaspoon of salt, a pinch of pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil.
