Korean curry (Ka-Re)

Hello, everyone! I'm Tina Shin!
Today, we are making Ka-Re(카레) which is Korean curry.

This is one of my favorite Korean foods.
It's easy to make but super delicious and healthy!



It's almost the same with Japanese curry because Koreans follow their recipes.


#Korean culture on Korean curry!
In Korea, many people make lot of curry at once and then eat it many times.
If I make curry for dinner, I eat it for dinner, tomorrow's breakfast and lunch.
It's good for housewife because no need to make other side dishes at least for 2 days.
However, It's not good for other family members because they have to eat it at every meal!!!!

Let's make the Korean curry!


<Ingredients> (3~4 servings)
  • Curry powder (400g)
  • One potato
  • Two onions
  • half carrot
  • meat (beef or pork) (150g)
  • Some cooking oil (2~3T)
  • Two and half cups of water

<Others>
  • Cutting board
  • Kitchen knife
  • Pot





<Recipe - Short Version>
1. Cut all ingredients
2. Put all ingredients into the pot with cooking oil.
3. Put water into the pot and boil them.
4. Put curry powder into the pot.

Finish!


---------------------------------------------------

<Recipe - Long Version with video>



1. Cut all ingredients.
Let's cut them into bite-sized pieces!
(potato, carrot, onions, meat)
If you don't have meat, it's okay to use ham

* Korean culture (in market)
All butcher's shops have the meat for curry.
They have chopped one. You choose only beef or pork.




2. Put all ingredients into the pot with cooking oil.
Put cooking oil first, and then put all ingredients and cook them over medium-high heat. For better tastes, start with meat first then the onions. And end with carrots and potatoes. But it's bothersome for me. So I put them all at once.




3. Put water into the pot and boil them.
Put water(2.5 cups) and boil them for three or five minutes.




4. Put curry powder into the pot.
Add curry powder in three lots and stir.




5. Eat it with cooked rice and Kimchi!



* Korean culture 
We don't eat only curry. Korean curry is just one of many side dishes. 
We eat it with rice, kimchi and so on.
However, for your weight, eat it with nothing or with a little Multi-grain or brown Rice 





Finish!

[Soups] Beef Radish Soup with Korean seasoning 'Dasida' 소고기무국 (sogogi muguk) Hàn Quốc súp thịt bò củ cải See   how to make   ' Beef Radish Soup (sogogi muguk)'  on YOUTUBE. Today, we are making 'Beef Radish Soup' We need 'Dasida' for this food. 'Dasida' is the Korean seasoning(flavour enhancer). Although it is safe and makes the food delicious, many Korean moms think it’s not good for health.  I think m any Korean moms can make ' Korean seasoning (flavour enhancer)'  by themselves using the natural ingredients. But! When we make a soup and want to have a better taste(we call it that the soup is thick), we use flavour enhancers. Especially, my mom likes to use it b ecause my mom want to make the food quickly.  (Making the flavour enhancer using the natural ingredients takes time a lot) So my mom usually puts 'Dasida' into many soups or stews. Anyway,    We have a lot of brands for flavour enhancers...

[Ingredients] Minced garlic / Almost every Korean food with Minced garlic Whenever I make Korean food, I need minced garlic. Almost Korean food needs minced garlic. We have to make garlic minced every time we cook. Fortunately, in Korea, grocery stores sell the minced garlic so I have used this. However, there is a food preservative in the minced garlic. I think it's not good for health. Also, many Korean people think like that. Therefore, Korean people make the minced garlic a lot at once and then preserve it in the freezer for a long time. It's very comfortable whenever I cook Korean food. 1 cube is 0.5 table spoon. <What you need> Garlic Blender Bowl(if you need) silicon ice mold spoons <Direction> 1. Rinse and Drain Of course, you have to peel garlic first. After peeling it, rinse and drain. 2. Mince garlic by blender You can chop the garlic using the knife. But it's difficult and it takes time a lot.  ...
