Korean Rice Cake 떡 Class

Today we made injolmi, korean rice cake coated in nut powder. Injolmi is not really one of my favourite, but I don't care. I am happy as long as I could satisfy my fetish of Korean rice cake. We have a korean rice cake master hailed from Busan - Mr Lee.

The ingredients:
glutinous rice
salt
sesame oil
nut powder
mugwort powder

Me and my workers..hehe. From Left: Hyun Bin ssi, Andy, Nandida, Me and Nandida's aunt.

Talk to Me in Korean

This is another worthy source of Korean Language studies that I follow now. If you remember Hyun Woo Sun from Korean Class 101, he is the creator of this portal (yeap..the same Hyun Woo). I have met him personally in Seoul and now he is no longer with Korean Class 101. I still learn from KoreanClass101 though and a few other notable websites.

What makes me want to learn from TTMIK (Talk to me in Korean):

• It has some what similar format with KoreanClass101 but better layout and easy on eyes graphic. Not too much hype and messy website template. It makes learning easier
• FREE podcast and notes (Donate to help them, cause they help us ^^)
• friendly teachers with fast response after you comment
• just because Hyun Woo Sun is jjang!! ^^

Head over to TTMIK to learn!
Add TTMIK in Facebook too.

Hyun Woo Sun also has a few other websites about Korea that you might be interested to browse:
