Recipe Exchange: Winter Edition

This afternoon we had a recipe exchange with some lovely Korean women at the church. The idea was the have a Korean share one recipe for the Americans to learn and one American share a recipe for the Koreans to learn. We made Pork Mandu and Kimchi Mandu for the Korean dish and Healing Cabbage Soup for the American dish.

It was a very small turn out but wonderful company nonetheless. I love learning from the ladies of our church--both sides!

Cabbage Soup is budget friendly and so easy!

Stephanie shared a secret: skimming the bubbly film off the top
of the soup is better for you, like clearing off the impurities.

Katie enjoys a warm bowl of cabbage soup and some fun conversation topics ;)

Let the mandu mountain begin!

Squeezing tofu to release the juices. Before cooking mandu,
we need to take all the juices out of each ingredient.

Learning the shapes.

We made enough to feed a pack of wolves! Seriously!
It was so fun though!

I think we all learned some easy things to cook today! Even though mandu involves a lot of chopping, it isn't precise, so you can make it how your family likes it! All the food was delicious :) DOn't you wish you had come!
