Ingredients
- 1 packet Curry Powder (choose your favorite brand)

- 1/2 Onion
- 1/2 Carrot
- 1.5 King Oyster Mushrooms
- 2 Potatoes
- Pinch of Black Pepper (for seasoning pork)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
We’re going to make a delicious pork curry rice today, the kind that makes you want to eat a whole bowl of rice with just kimchi! It’s not difficult, so let’s get started.
Step 2
First, prepare the pork. If you’re using pork cubed for curry, cut it into bite-sized pieces. If you’re using thinly sliced pork belly, you can use it as is. Lightly grease a pan or heat some chopped green onions to create scallion oil, then add the pork. Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper and sauté until the pork is lightly browned. This step helps remove any gamey smell and enhances the flavor.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the vegetables. You’ll need 1/2 onion, 1/2 carrot, 1.5 king oyster mushrooms, and 2 potatoes. Peel the potatoes and carrot and dice them into bite-sized cubes. Slice the king oyster mushrooms similarly. Add all the prepared vegetables to the pan with the sautéed pork and stir-fry them together until they start to soften slightly. Stir-frying the vegetables brings out their natural sweetness, enriching the curry’s flavor.
Step 4
Once the vegetables are somewhat softened, add enough water to cover the ingredients (usually about 600-700ml for one packet of curry powder). It’s important to dissolve the curry powder thoroughly to avoid lumps. You can either mix it with a little cold water beforehand or gradually add it to the boiling water while whisking. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently with a spatula to prevent sticking, until the curry thickens to your desired consistency. Simmering over medium-low heat allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 5
Voila! Your nutritious and flavorful turmeric curry rice is now complete. Serve it generously over hot steamed rice and enjoy. It’s a complete and satisfying meal, even without side dishes!
