What you like makes what you learn - BAE-CHU-JEON (Napa Cabbage pancake)

                                                              


There is an old saying in Korea that, people who do what they enjoy will never lose. Learning a language is the same... I love cooking, so most of my newly learned Turkey words are from recipes. Today, my hubby asked me how to say cabbage in Korean. I told him, "BAE-CHU." Then he told me back, "I love BAE-CHU-JEON." He remembered that I am going to cook cabbage pancake tonight. Then he got an idea to speak cabbage pancake in Korean so he could learn the name of his favorite dish in Korean. 

This is an amazing learning process that exactly shows the old saying above. Many of my Turkish or American friends told me that they learned Korean by watching K-drama and listening to K-pops. At that time, I cannot really relate to their experience, but when I see my hubby's change, now I can buy that.

 

So, let's make cabbage pancake. This is a very simple recipe but nutritious and healthy. You can enjoy the soft crunchy texture and light sweetness of napa cabbage as well as the rich savory taste from the batter. When I eat those vegetable pancakes, I do not count how many calories I consumed - because they are healthy. 🙂


Now, let's really make cabbage pancake! 

what you need: napa cabbage, flour (5 Tbsp), salt (1 tsp), sesame oil (1 tsp), water (1/2 cup), cooking oil


1. Make a batter with flour, water, salt, sesame oil (adjust thickness based on your preference)

2. Wash cabbage then separate leaves


3. Using a rolling pin, make a cabbage leaf flat


4. Dip cabbage leaves into the batter then bake on the fry pan




5. Cook until the batter becomes brown

6. Cut the cabbage pancake into bite-size then serve!

[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

[EE 304] Compliment Party - Classroom Activity

It is important to start the semester well, but it is just as important to finish it well. The meaning of ending well is probably a time to think about a meaningful ending together with the students. Looking back on the learning during the semester and the precious memories with the students I took the class with... So, the last week's activity was a Compliment Party - a discussion activity to express gratitude to the students who took the class. As always, I get a lot of energy from the posts of the students, more than I expected. Suddenly, I thought about the answer to the question of why I like my job and give it a lot of meaning, which is to meet students with various ideas through class activities and develop each other's thoughts under the big topic of 'education'. I thought it might be because watching the movie comes with a big meaning. So, I would like to write down the opinions of the students delivered through the activity. "Everyone in this class has be
