Chef Lee Won-il's Cooking Basics: How to Choose Oil, Salt, and Meat
Five videos to pick by topic, from grocery shopping to kitchen tools
There are moments in cooking when you're stumped about which oil to use or which cut of meat to buy. We picked videos on oil, salt, pork, and kitchen tools from Chef Lee Won-il's official channel and put them together in a list that clears up the questions that come up before you even get to a recipe.
Some videos cover background knowledge, like the sesame oil buying guide and the perilla oil theory episode, while others help you find your own preferences by comparing salts and cuts of meat. Use the chef's comparisons and preferences as a reference, but watch from the perspective of choosing what fits your own dishes and purposes.

Lee Won-il's Sesame Oil Buying Guide
If you're wondering what to look at first when choosing sesame oil, start with the buying guide episode. Released by Chef Lee Won-il in October 2026, the video's title and description make clear that it's a practical episode aimed at people trying to decide which sesame oil to buy.
If you already have a sesame oil, it's more useful to watch while thinking about which dishes you usually add it to, rather than buying a new product right away. You can also watch it together with the sesame oil theory episode on the same channel. Treat the product comparisons in the video as reference material, and when you actually buy, check the labeling and contents of the product on sale again.

Lee Won-il's Perilla Oil 101 · Theory
If you have perilla oil but aren't sure how to understand and use it, the theory episode is a good starting point. Introduced by the Chef Lee Won-il channel as a guide to perilla oil, it lets you first hear about the ingredient itself, separately from the applied episodes where actual dishes are made.
This episode suits people who want an explanation of the oil before jumping straight into perilla oil recipes. Watch it together with the sesame oil buying guide, but rather than thinking of the two oils as ingredients you can always swap for each other, watch with the question of how you'd use each in different dishes.

Lee Won-il's Salt Comparison · Kkotdeungsim and Broth
If you've wondered whether one salt is enough, pick the episode that compares salts using kkotdeungsim (marbled ribeye) and broth. The official description introduces it as the second session of the advanced Salt 101 series and explains that it compares which salts go well with the two dishes.
The point to watch is not the conclusion that one kind is always best for every dish, but that the assessment can change depending on the food. It helps to think separately about salt for dipping meat and salt for seasoning broth as you watch. Understand the rankings shown in the video as reflecting that particular comparison and the chef's own assessment.

Lee Won-il's Pork Cut Comparison
If you tend to buy the same cut every time, check out the video where Lee Won-il compares cuts of pork. It's content in a format that picks out the best cuts of pork, and it's fun to learn the names of the cuts and connect them to the textures you like.
Even though it's in a tier format, there's no need to take it as an objective quality grade that applies to everyone. Listen to the talk about each cut while thinking about whether you usually grill it or use it in other dishes. It's an easy watch when you want to try picking a new cut on your next grocery run.

Kitchen Tools Introduced by Lee Won-il
If you've wondered what tools sit in the kitchen in cooking videos, pick the kitchen tools episode. It's an official video introducing the kitchen items Lee Won-il loves to use, letting you look at cooking prep from a different angle than grocery shopping.
Rather than buying all the tools at once, watch while thinking about the tasks you do often in your kitchen now. If you sort out the functions you need and whether they overlap with things you already own, the video becomes a chance to organize your kitchen instead of lengthening your shopping list. Think separately about the tools you use often and the ones you only take out occasionally, and find the one or two things you actually need.

Start with the video tied to one item on your next shopping trip. If you want to switch oils, watch the sesame oil and perilla oil episodes; if you're preparing a meat dish, start with the salt and pork episodes, then check over your kitchen gear with the kitchen tools episode.
Each item is an introduction to an official video, not a product sales ranking. We checked the original uploader and public status on October 28, 2026, and we make no claims about the current price of any specific product or which is universally better.
