Delicious Pork Curry Rice: The Golden Recipe
Hearty Pork Curry Rice Made with Plenty of Pork
Today, I decided to make a hearty and delicious pork curry rice using ingredients I had on hand. While it’s delicious without meat, adding pork makes the flavor even richer. Here’s a simple yet satisfying curry rice recipe that anyone can easily follow.
Curry Rice Ingredients
- 1 packet Curry Powder (store-bought)
- 200g Pork (for curry, lean cut)
- Pinch of Salt
- Pinch of Black Pepper
- 1 Onion
- 2 Potatoes
- 1/2 Carrot
- 1/3 Zucchini
- 1 King Oyster Mushroom
- 2 Tbsp Cooking Oil or Perilla Oil
- 500ml Water (or adjust according to recipe)
- 2 bowls Warm Cooked Rice
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the pork for the curry. I’m using a lean cut, and after cutting it into bite-sized pieces, I’ll season it lightly with salt and pepper. This seasoning helps to remove any gamey smell from the pork and enhance its flavor.
Step 2
Wash and prepare all the vegetables: zucchini, onion, carrot, potatoes, and king oyster mushroom. Chop all the vegetables into similar-sized pieces (about 1.5cm to 2cm cubes) so they blend well with the curry sauce. Potatoes and carrots take longer to cook, so you can chop them slightly smaller.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil (or perilla oil) in a deep pan or pot over medium heat. Add the seasoned pork and stir-fry until the surface is lightly browned. (Perilla oil usually adds a nice nutty flavor, but regular cooking oil works fine if that’s what you have.)
Step 4
Once the pork is cooked and has released some of its own fat, add all the chopped vegetables to the pan. Stir-fry everything together for 2-3 minutes, allowing the vegetables to absorb the flavors from the oil and pork. They’re ready when the onions start to look translucent.
Step 5
After stir-frying the ingredients, pour in 500ml of water and bring it to a boil. I like my curry a bit thinner, so I’ve added plenty of water. Once boiling, reduce the heat slightly and add one packet of curry powder. Whisk continuously with a whisk or spatula to dissolve the powder without clumps.
Step 6
Once the curry powder is fully dissolved, increase the heat back to high and bring it to a rolling boil. As it starts to thicken, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover partially, and simmer for another 5-7 minutes. It’s important to stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom. And there you have it – delicious pork curry rice! Serve generously over warm rice and enjoy.
