- Hi everybody.
Today we are going to make Korean-style curry rice.
One-bowl meal.
It's very easy, easy and simple and delicious recipe.
Actually in Korean we say ka-re rice
because curry we pronounce ka-re.
This is package of curry powder.
This is not only curry inside.
Also it has a lot of other ingredients including starch.
You can get this package at a Korean grocery store.
So cheap. Two ninety-nine.
Also you can choose mild or spicy.
I choose a little spicy.
I'm going to use pork but you can use
other meat like beef or chicken breast.
Just simple vegetables. Potatoes, onion and carrot.
Also I'm making rice.
When I was in the university with my friends
we used to go hiking and then this was a perfect dish
because very simple to make and delicious.
So let's start. Two medium-size potato.
Two potatoes I peeled.
Both like around 10 ounce to 12 ounce should be
And also I'll just, this one is already peeled and washed.
A carrot. I'm going to use just this amount.
And onion, this amount.
I'm going to chop these all vegetables
and put them on this plate.
Cut into cubes.
Same size. Cut it this.
And then carrot.
I always cut into really small pieces
because when you make this, usually children
don't like to eat a big chunk of carrot.
So I always like make really small pieces.
Around quarter-inch cubes.
Vegetables are done. So three colorful vegetables done.
And then, meat. I'm going to use a pork loin part.
Cut this around half a pound.
Small size, cut this.
Now all cutting is done.
My vegetables and pork is all cut into small pieces.
And, now, this is curry powder.
Just before cooking I like to mix this with water.
100 grams, one package, a whole package I'm using.
Then let's put this in a bowl. Smells curry smell.
Look at this color is very yellow.
half a cup water. And mix.
We have really thick yellow kind of mixture.
I will use two tablespoons of unsalted butter.
Long time ago when I made this, my kare-rice,
I always used margarine at the time.
But when I used butter, the flavor's much, much better.
So I'm going to use butter. Two tablespoons.
Use medium-high heat. Add pork.
I'm going to stir-fry around a couple
of minutes until pork is no longer pink.
And then, after that, I'm going to add this potato.
And then potato.
I'm going to stir this for a couple of minutes
until potato looks little half translucent.
And then carrot and onion.
When me and my friends went hiking we always reserved
Okay, you bring some vegetables.
You bring some make it cold like some meat.
And then, okay, I'll bring my pot.
We need at least like two pots, large pots.
One pot is making rice.
The other pot, large pot, we just make.
And all together. One person is cutting.
One person is washing. One person is stir-frying.
And then worked together quickly.
In 30 minutes we make delicious curry rice.
If you guys go camping just follow this one.
Korean-style kare-rice! So think about me if you make it.
(laughs)
Keep stirring so that it's not burning.
And then I think we can add water here.
This is two and half cups water.
I'm going to turn down the heat to medium.
And then cook 10 to 12 minutes until potatoes are really
well-cooked and also all the carrots are tender.
Then I"m going to add this curry mixture.
And stir this.
When you see this thickened
because the powder has some starch.
Ah, done.
Mmm, good. I'm always happy to eat rice.
Stir this so that it's not going to burn bottom.
Very good. And then let's serve.
I'm so hungry.
Here you go!
Today we made curry rice. Korean-style curry rice.
Ka-re rice. Let me taste it!
Nice, beautiful yellow color. And juicy.
Oh my, Smells good!
(giggles)
Mmm.
Delicious. Smooth and soft, juicy and savory.
I want to tell you, when you eat
this definitely eat with kimchi.
Between your curry rice scoop crispy
sweet sour kimchi really go well together.
Whenever I taste my curry rice,
actually I was talking about this in my cookbook,
I can't help thinking about my grandmother.
She's a wonderful cook. Always.
She's my hero. Heroine.
One day in my high-school day I made this curry rice.
That was kind of new food at the time.
Grandmother taste it for the first time in her life.
She was so shocked. Wow! What is it?
So delicious. What is it?
Oh my. My granddaughter is number one cook!
She really enjoyed this curry rice that I made.
So whenever I make this I'm thinking about her.
I miss her. She already passed away long, long time ago.
Enjoy my recipe. See you next time!
Bye.
