2/28 Talk about a time something went wrong while you were cooking.

I remember a time when I was trying to cook a Korean stew.

First I boiled some water with some anchovies in it.

* anchovies: 멸치

ex> I added anchovies to make it taste better.

ex> Anchovies are a key ingredient when you cook Korean stews.

While the water was boiling, I cut up some potatoes, onions, zucchinis and some tofu.

* cut up: 자르다

ex> Make sure to cut up the ingredients before you put them in the water.

I put them in the water with some soybean paste. I boiled the stew for about 15 minutes.

Then I tasted it, but it was too salty.

ex> Eating salty foods is not good for your health.

cf> bland: 싱거운, 밍밍한

I think I overcooked it and put in too much soybean paste.

* overcook: 너무 오래 익히다

ex> I don’t like noodles that are overcooked.

I added some more water to the stew to make it less salty.

I think putting the right amount of ingredients and spices is the most important thing when it comes to cooking.

* ingredient / spice: 재료/양념

ex> That restaurant always uses fresh ingredients.

ex> The dish was seasoned with various spices.
