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!

[Home-Baking] Whole-Wheat Ricotta Cheese Cobbler

If you want to eat fruit differently, there is a cobbler recipe that you can easily make at home. There are so many different types of cobblers, and there are many different types of cobblers in each household. While it is easy to make, the taste is deep and light (?). This time, I decided to try making it healthier by using especially whole wheat flour. First, lightly wash the blueberries and place them on a sieve. Rub the outside of the apple with baking soda, clean it, and cut it into small pieces. I needed about 3 tablespoons of butter, but I only have 2.5 tablespoons left, so I'll just use it as is. Chop it up into small pieces and place it in a baking glass bowl. Put it in the microwave for 45 seconds and it melts so well. You can use sugar or honey, but I found quince jam left in the refrigerator for a while and decided to use it today. Take a large tablespoon of jam and spread it on top of the melted butter. Sift 1 cup whole wheat flour through a sieve Sprinkle two tablespo...

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.

Student B, who tried to capture a lot of happy expressions by changing colors Student A is proud that her emoji has hair
