Onion skin tea, '양파차'

I watched the TV program 'Cheonginuseol' and one hundred doctors recommended ten kinds of food for health. The most impressive food was onion. It was ranked in second place. The onion is cheap and easy to buy in Korea. It is very effective in controlling blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Most of all, the onion skin contains a lot of health-beneficial elements compared to bare skin onions. People say that we should keep our health when we are healthy. After watching the program, I made onion skin tea instead of throwing it away. Making it is very easy. Put the washed onion skin into hot water and brew for about 20 minutes over a low heat. It is ok to drink it hot or cold. It is good because the tea has no taste and no smell of onion. How about a cup of onion skin tea? //// ‘천기누설’이라는 TV 프로그램을 시청했는데 100명의 의사들이 꼽은 BEST 10에 들어가는 몸에 좋은 음식들을 소개했어요. 그 중에서 인상 깊었던 음식이 양파였어요. 양파는 한국에서 값이 저렴하고 쉽게 구할 수 있는 야채예요. 양파는 혈압과 당을 조절하는데 탁월하다고 해요. 특히 양파껍질에 그런 좋은 성분이 더 많이 있대요. ‘건강은 건강할 때 지키라’는 말이 있어요. 그 방송을 들은 이후로 저는 양파껍질을 버리지 않고 양파껍질 차를 만들고 있어요. 만드는 방법은 아주 쉬워요. 끓는 물에 깨끗이 씻은 양파껍질을 넣고 약한 불에서 약 20분 정도 우려내세요. 뜨겁게 또는 차갑게, 취향대로 마시면 돼요. 양파 특유의 냄새랑 맛이 안 나서 괜찮아요. 양파껍질 차 한 잔 어때요?

Korean Mask, Tal , '한국 탈!'

Image
There are various kinds of masks in Korea. Have you ever heard ‘탈’? “탈” means 'mask' in Korean. Let me introduce the Hahoe Tal in Andong city. The Hahoe Tal is the only set of masks designated as a national treasure (No.121). It is highly regarded highly as a masterpiece in the area of mask art as well as a Korean cultural asset. There were 14 masks in the Hahoe Tal : Two Jusi Tal, Gaksi Tal, Yangban Tal, Seonbi Tal, Jung Tal, Baekjeong Tal, Choraengi Tal, Halmi Tal, Imae Tal, Bune Tal, Chonggak Tal, Byeochae Tal and Ddeodari Tal. But Byeochae Tal, Ddeodari Tal and Chonggak Tal were lost and not handed down. Some of Hahoe Tal, Yangban Tal, Seonbi Tal, Jung Tal and Baekjeong Tal have a special function: they have movable lower jaws, while other masks don't For example, if a performer, wearing a mask, bends his head back, his mouth will open wide so that he looks like he is smiling. If he bends his head forward, his mouth will close so he looks angry. ................. 한국에는...

How to make Meju, '메주 만드는 법'

Image
Have you ever had Korean food? I think that most countries have their own special sauces to cook with. Korea also has special and traditional sauces like soy sauce (ganjang, 간장), soybean paste (doenjang, 된장), and red pepper paste (gochujang, 고추장). To make doenjang, gochujang, and ganjang, we have to make the blocks of fermented soybeans (Meju, 메주). When I was a child, I often saw my mom making them. But now I am used to buying the sauces, instead of making them! *How to make Meju, '메주'* ---------------- 1. Prepare yellow soybeans and keep them soaked in water for about 8 hours. 2. Boil yellow soybeans for about 6 hours. 3. Mash boiled yellow soybeans. 4. Put them into a box to make the block shape and press it well. 5. Put the Meju to in a room to dry for a few days. 6. Hang them for about a month under the eaves, or an airy place, to dry well

Even brushing past a person is one's karma. '옷깃만 스쳐도 인연'

There's an old saying that says even brushing past a person is one's karma. Buddhism says that it's very difficult to meet again in this life time if there isn't a special connection in a previous life. Haven't you ever come across a person by chance without making promises on the earth living billions of people? The unit of brushing past a person is 'Gup' this means the time from the beginning of the world to next beginning of the world. It takes 500gup to brush past a person. You and I must have had a special relationship and have taken at least 500gup to meet here........ 옛말에 ‘옷깃만 스쳐도 인연’이란 말이 있어요. 불가에서는 전생에 특별한 연이 없으면 현생에서 만나기 힘들다고 말해요. 수십억명이 살고 있는 이 지구상에 여러분은 약속을 하지 않았는데도 아주 우연히 마주친 사람은 없었나요? 옷깃이 스치는 인연은 ‘겁’이라는 단위로 설명하여 겁은 천지가 한번 개백하고 다음 개백이 시작할 때까지의 시간을 뜻해요. 옷깃이 한 번 스치는데 500겁의 시간이 걸려요. 부부는 7000겁, 부모 자식 간은 8000겁, 스승과 제자는 10,000겁. 저와 여러분의 관계도 적어도 500겁 이상의 인연이 쌓여 여기서 만났음이 틀림없네요..... * Husband and Wife - 7,000gup * Parents and Child - 8,000gup * Teac...
