Turkish Spinach Rice

Often, I was surprised by similar tastes between Korean and Turkish food. This Turkish Spinach Rice (my Turkish chef's one of the specialties) is a good example of this. A spicy and savory taste of this dish will be great for dinner during winter.

<What we need>
1 package of spinach
a half cup of rice - washed and soaked in water
1 cup of (or more) water
1 onion - sliced
2 long hot peppers - sliced
2 Tsp tomato paste
salt, pepper, & red pepper flakes

<Let's make it>

Fresh spinach from the farmer's market.

This time, we decided to use one pepper and onion.

Before start cooking, wash rice.

Keep them in the water until adding them to the pot.

In the pan, add oil and warm it up for 2 mins. Add sliced onions and stir until they become transparent.

Add sliced peppers and stir fry them together.

wash and chop spinach

When pepper and onions are cooked, add tomato pastes. Stir fry them together.

Then add chopped spinach and stir fry them together.

Add one cup of water (or more based on how you want to serve) and simmer them for 10 minutes

Tada~! Nice savory dish!

Publishing articles from Your Dissertation

For early-career researchers/faculty, a dissertation is the most promising source to increase the number of publications. But, when it comes to publishing peer-reviewed journal articles, whoever already experienced writing journal articles will definitely agree that publishing articles requires almost the same amount of effort as writing the dissertation. Sine 2018, I have worked on publishing articles from my dissertation, and finally, by 2021, I got two papers published...See?! It takes almost four years! One of the advantages that I got was I already made my dissertation in a two-paper format. There are two types of dissertations..(or possibly several types); one is a traditional five-chapter format (Introduction-Literature Review-Method-Results-Discussion) and the other is a combined journal article format (Introduction-Paper 1-Paper 2-Paper 3...-Conclusion). I chose a combined journal article format because my research interests were a general classroom climate wh...
