Korean Curry Rice
Description
This recipe uses bite-sized meat pieces cooked with aromatics like onion, garlic, and ginger to build a savory base. Potatoes and carrots provide body and sweetness, while optional ingredients like mushrooms and bell pepper can be included to add texture and taste variety.
The curry roux cubes dissolve into the boiling broth, thickening the sauce to a creamy consistency that coats the meat and vegetables. The gentle simmer ensures flavors meld and the meat reaches tenderness without drying out.
Served over plain steamed rice, this dish balances hearty and comforting curry sauce with the neutral texture of rice, making it suitable for lunch or dinner. Adjusting the amount of roux can thicken the sauce to preference.

- 8 ounces beef or pork or chicken
- 1 onion medium

Instructions
- Cut the meat into small bite size pieces. Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Dice the onion, and cut the other vegetables into bite size chunks.
- Heat a large pot with a tablespoon of oil. Add the onion, and stir-fry until it turns translucent and light brown.
