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!

Mental Wellbeing Check-in Activity - Draw Emojis

Today's topic is my past week expressed with emoticons. Usually, in this activity, the teacher puts emoticons on the screen and asks the students to choose them, but in my class, I had the students draw them directly to add a more creative element. It was an early morning class, so even the students who rushed in felt that it was helpful to calm the students' emotions as they were able to catch their breath and draw slowly as soon as they started the activity.

Educator, Researcher, and Artist

  My name guides me to be a creative educator, researcher, and traveler. Ye means 'art' and Jun means 'high.' So I introduce the meaning of my name as 'an artist going on a high note.' It does not necessarily mean that I perform well but it is more about I enjoy what I am doing.  Alberta Fall, Rocky Mountain National Park, CO Water molecule drawing I have been a science teacher for about 12 years in South Korea (including one year in the United States). Creativity is my energy to design the generative science curriculum that I often got an idea from children's books, fine arts, and movies for classroom activities.
