Korean Curry Rice! Filled with chunks of potatoes, carrots, beef and sweet potatoes, this hearty bowl of curry will hit the spot! 

Growing up, my parents were both small business owners. My dad owned and operated a few Korean restaurants in the Dallas area (and still has a sushi restaurant currently in downtown Dallas) and my mother owned and operated a mid-sized Korean grocery store (similar to an H-mart for those who are familiar). Needless to say, my parents were working all the time. .  and when we were little, we had a live in baby sitter to watch us.

Weeknight dinners were often fast and out of a box, prepared by our nanny but occasionally and definitely on the weekends, either my mother or father would be cooking up some Korean food for us.

When my mom was making Korean curry rice, we’d be waiting eagerly for her to shout out to us, “dinner is ready!” Once I caught that first whiff of the curry, I knew we’d be in for a treat. As a kid, I could eat my weight in Korean curry rice. .  loved the stuff and I always ate a lot.

Korean curry rice brings back so many happy memories of my family around the table and I always associate good, Korean comfort food with this.

Korean Curry Rice

The Korean curry powder packet (I buy the Ottogi brand) can be purchased at any Asian market or Korean grocery store, or even online!
Course: Main
Cuisine: Korean
Servings: 6
Author: Hip Foodie Mom

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 pound boneless beef short ribs cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 medium carrots peeled and cubed
  • 2 small red or yellow potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 large sweet potato peeled and cubed
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 packet 100 grams Korean curry powder (See Recipe Note)
  • Diced chives to garnish
  • Steamed white rice to serve
  • Kimchi to serve

Instructions

  • Warm the sesame oil over medium-high heat in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add in the boneless beef short rib and diced onions, and sauté until the beef is nicely browned on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, water and curry powder to the pot and mix well. Bring to a boil and then turn down to a medium boil and let cook for another 8 to 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through. Serve over steamed rice and garnish with diced chives and with some kimchi on the side.

 

Head on over to The Kitchn to read my full post! After a quick trip to the Korean market or Asian grocery store, this bowl of deliciousness can be on your table in no time!

Have you had Korean curry rice before? If so, did you like it?

I hope you enjoy!

(And if you’re in the Dallas, Texas area, go visit my dad’s sushi restaurant and tell him Hip Foodie Mom sent you!)

    A seriously good curry is worth its weight in gold! I too grew up with s babysitter who minded by brother, sister & I, cause the parents were working hard in their restaurant! If ever I make it to Dallas, I’ll be sure to look out for your family sushi joint!

    I’ve never tried Korean curry, but it looks a lot like Japanese curry. Such a bowl of comfort – can’t wait to try. Just need to find the Korean curry powder now.

    I need to check out that Korean curry powder – I don’t think I’ve ever had any before – is Korean curry very different from Indian/Sri Lankan curries?
    I will be in Dallas sometime soon and will definitely go by Sushiya! 🙂

      Hey Shashi! yes, it’s milder than Indian curries. . but I love some heat so I love making both! My kids can’t handle Indian curries yet . .

    Growing up in an Indian household, I completely feel you on the love of curry…it is so homey and comforting.

    I had not heard of Korean curry! Does it taste similarly to Japanese curry? I wonder how the spices differ!

    Wow it’s as if you read my mind! Tim has been asking me to make curry this week, and I said “absolutely!” If all his requests were this easy ;). Talk about quick and easy! Curry rice conjures up all kinds of fond childhood memories.
