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!

Pajeon '파전' - Korean home cooking

As the school year begins, it is fun to pack lunches every day. The first rule when packing a lunch box is that you should never eat too much - because you sit for at least 6 hours and there are quite a variety of snacks to eat in between. One of the joys of going to school is to collect snacks like a squirrel every day in the office. It's easy to forget.. Students and other professors often come to the office as well. So, don't forget to hang a "Busy" sign outside when eating snacks.😉😉 When I opened the refrigerator, I found a bunch of chives that were automatically picked up every time I went shopping. So tomorrow's lunch menu is decided to be Pajeon! Ingredients 1. dough 1 cup flour 1 teaspoon salt 2/3 cup milk 1 egg 2. Inside 1 scallion 1 cup frozen shrimp 1 green...
