Hey all,

We are going to shoot a sitcom episode about "Cheating on a Test."

The script includes pronunciation of each letter in Korean.  Anybody can participate in this sitcom reading. We are going to practice reading and acting first earlier than the class time (around 6PM), and shoot during the class time (8PM).

Tomorrow's class on November 20 is at Johnson Center, 3rd Floor, Room F, George Mason University, Fairfax Campus.

Thank you!

Jennifer

2. Create sauce with ingredients- 간장 (soy sauce) 4T, 설탕 (sugar) 2.5T, 다진 파 (minced green onion) 2T, 다진 마늘 (minced garlic) 1T, 청주 (clear rice wine) 1T, 소금 (salt) 1/3t, 후추 (black pepper), 참기름 (sesame oil) 2T, 물 (water) 3T

3. Soak 당면 in the 물

4. Slice all vegetables in thin stripes.

5. Mix all sauce ingredients.

6. Put oil into wok or frying pan.

7. Hand mix 쇠고기 and 표고버섯 with 3 Table spoons of sauce. And spread that mixture in the wok or frying pan.

8.  Mix water soaked 당면 and 3 Table spoons of sauce. Then put that 당면 on the top of 쇠고기 and 표고버섯 in the pan

9. Put sliced 양파 and 당근on the top of 당면 in the pan. And sprinkle 1Table spoon of sauce evenly.

10. Put 시금치 on the top of 양파 and 당근. And then sprinkle the rest of sauce on the top.

11. Cover the lid on the wok or frying pan and put it on high heat. Once it is boiled, lower it to mid heat for 3 minutes. Then lower it to low heat for 4 minutes until there is almost no more soup left on the bottom. It is better to have a glass lid to easily check inside the pan. For these 7 minutes, keep watching the pan.

12. When you open the lid, you will see other ingredients are well cooked and 시금치 turns into bright green. Don’t wait until시금치 to turn its color to yellow.

13. Mix all together with 참기름, 통깨, 계란 지단. Season some 소금 and 후추 to suit your taste.

14. A Final tip for left over 잡채: Soak Vietnamese rice paper into the water à put left over 잡채 and rolls this into a spring roll shapeà put oil around the frying pan and grill the rolls. Yum~!!
