Cooking Instructions
Step 1
When you first see this adorable teddy bear curry rice, you might think it’s too cute to eat! While it’s natural to hesitate when something looks so charming, this is a wonderful way to make your delicious curry even more special. It’s a fun recipe that brings back childhood memories.
Step 2
Today’s curry rice is similar to how we usually make it, but we’re adding shiitake mushrooms from the fridge to give it a wonderfully satisfying texture. Shiitake mushrooms have a great bite and pair exceptionally well with curry. Wash them thoroughly and slice them into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
Sauté all the ingredients, then add the measured amount of water. You can either dissolve the curry powder in a little water separately before adding, or add it directly to the boiling water and stir well to prevent lumps. Modern curry powders dissolve easily even in cold water, so just stirring gently will ensure a smooth consistency.
Step 4
Let the curry simmer until the ingredients are cooked through, stirring gently occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom. When the curry is almost ready, it’s time to create the cute teddy bear rice! Divide the cooked rice into two portions and shape them into round balls, like a snowman, for the bear’s head and body.
Step 5
Now, let’s add the adorable eyes, nose, and mouth to the rice! Cut shapes from seaweed for the features and gently press them onto the warm rice; they will stick easily. You might find yourself giggling as you create these cute details! This small gesture can bring a moment of joy and a smile to your loved ones.
Step 6
Ladle the deliciously cooked curry generously into the bowl. The shape of the curry bowl might even resemble a bathtub, making your teddy bear character look like it’s relaxing in a warm soak. It adds to the overall charm!
Step 7
Serving this with some tangy, aged kimchi (kimchi jjim or simply sliced aged kimchi) to mix with the curry rice is absolutely delicious! The subtle sweetness of the curry makes it incredibly addictive. Your adorable teddy bear character curry rice, which is as pleasing to the eyes as it is to the palate, is now complete!
Step 8
This teddy bear-shaped shiitake mushroom curry is not only visually appealing but also incredibly delicious. The cooking process was truly a delightful experience from start to finish!
