Curry powder is considered to be very healthy. Adding different kinds of vegetables and meat will make it even healthier. This recipe is a Korean styled curry & rice dish. When I tried Indian or other (American?) curry powder, I thought the taste was a little different from Korean curry powder. So, use Korean curry powder to get an authentic Korean taste. The Korean brand that I use is called, “Ottogi Curry Medium.” That brand comes three different kinds heat levels: hot, medium, and mild. I usually use medium for my curry rice, but depending on your tastes, you can use hot or mild. If I get the chance to try other curry powders for it, I will let you know the result, or if you try it, tell me what you think of it. I will appreciate the feedback. This curry tastes best with chicken rather than other meat, but you can skip the meat and it will still taste very good. 😀

Main Ingredients
- 1 Cup Chicken Breast (1 Pinch Salt + 1 Pinch Black Pepper)
- 2 Cups Potatoes
- 2 Cups Onions
- 1 Cup Carrot
- ⅓ Cup Frozen Peas
- 4 Cups Water
- ⅔ Cup Korean Curry Powder
- 1 Tbsp Cooking Oil
- ⅛ tsp Salt
Directions
Cut 2 cups worth of potatoes, 2 cups of onion, and 1 cup of carrot into half-inch cubes. We also need ⅓ cup of frozen peas.
Cut 1 cup of chicken breast into a similar size with the potatoes.
Put the chopped vegetables into a preheated pan with 1 Tbsp of cooking oil.
Season the vegetables with ⅛ tsp of salt and fry them for about 6 minutes on medium high.
At the same time, fry the chicken in a separate preheated pan with a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper for about 3 minutes on high.
After 6 minutes, the vegetables will be about half cooked. The cooking time for your potatoes may be different depending on the type you used. I used yellow potatoes for this recipe, which takes less time to cook.
In 3 minutes, the chicken also will be half cooked and most of the liquid that came out of the chicken will have disappeared.
Put all the fried vegetables and the chicken into a pot.
Now, pour 4 cups of water into a pot. Once it starts to boil, cook it for 5 minutes on high, or until all the vegetables are almost cooked.
After 5 minutes, reduce the temperature to medium and add ⅔ cup of Korean curry powder. Stir it so that the curry powder easily mixes into the broth. Btw, this is the best curry powder brand in my opinion. They make this in mild, medium, and hot varieties. I use the mild one for our children, but you can use spicier ones too.
Once the curry powder is mixed in, add the peas. Cook it for 3 more minutes on medium and then turn off the heat.
Serve the curry on top of cooked rice. This taste is very good with any kinds of kimchi. Enjoy! 😀
About ten years ago, I became aware of the health benefits of curry, and decided to add it to my diet. Since I didn’t have any recipes, I tried adding it to Ramen noodles, calling my creation Curried Ramen Noodles. Curry is an acquired taste. After developing your taste for it, it can be similar to salt. Food tastes saltier with it, although it does not have salt or MSG in it. This dish tastes much better than anything I made before. I highly recommend it.
Hi, honey~~
Yes,,, I hope more people can try curried ramen noodles you made. I think that I cook better than you (puhahah) ..but except THE CURRIED RAMEN NOODLES..I love it !!! Okay, I made a bibimbap for you yesterday, it’s your turn to make the yummy curried ramen noodles for me. 😉
What is the red podwer you use for making the mix in the sauce???
I probably have to get it but the recipe is so goooood.
Hi, Maria
Red powder I use for making the mix ??
Oops.. sorry but I didn’t get it because I didn’t use red powder.. do you mean.. yellow powder?? if it is..that’s curry powder..
Hi, I have bought Ottogi Beske Curry Hot.. Is it the same one that you hav mentioned?
Hi, San
I know they are making new product curry…”bekse curry”..but didn’t try it yet. But I heard that bekse curry has healthier ingredients in it.. so it’s good for your health..and if you like spicy flavor..it’s good to try.. the taste will be almost same with the one I used..so I recommend you use it. Thanks !!!
Yes, it is the only kind I can have because it has no MSG or beef fat like some other preparations. Sooo good as you say. Being a “honky,” I must ask, what does the word “bekse” actually mean?
Hi Michael G.
“Bekse” means 100 years old in this case. I guess that the company wants to advertise their product is healthy with the name.. I don’t think they meant .. you will live until 100 years old if you eat their product..but just want to tell it’s healthy to eat.. something like that.. hehe
oooohhhh… thank you so much for this! i will cook curry rice tonight! ^^

I just want to say, I love your site. I came across it when I was trying to find curry rice. My mom bought me some of the curry powder so I figured that I’d make it for my boyfriend who loves it.
I can’t thank you enough. You have made it look easy with the video and the the step by step. I’m definitely bookmarking your site for further recipes!
Also, I love how you have Korean lessons on it too! I’m half-Korean so I can’t read or write Korean and I speak very little. Thank you thank you for all the goodies!
You can add other things too… I like mine with mushrooms, and beef.. .ANyhows, I LOOVE Korean and Japanese curry, and I crave it RIGHT NOW. Love your site! 😛
Thanks for the recipe <3. I was able to cook my first curry
Just made a pot. Thanks so much for the recipe and instructions 🙂 Been having way too many potatoes recently so I swapped them out. Mine was a carrot,pumpkin and apple chicken curry… 🙂

hi Sarah,
Hehe.. you must be good at cooking. 😉 I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Thank you very much. btw your korean sentences are cute too. 😉
Hi Aeri,can I use any curry powder ? I don’t have korean curry powder ^^
hi soona,
The flavor and texture will not be the same.. but people use normal curry powder for curry and rice in different countries.. so you can try… just adjust the powder amount for your taste. thanks
I have tried this receipt with mild powder. It’s tasty. For the people can’t get korean powder, I think they can use japanese style curry block instead. Compare to Indian or any other curry powder, I think curry block’s flavour will be closer to korean powder.
Thanks for the receipt again.
xxxx
hi Jinny,
I agree with you. Indian or other country curry powder taste quite different from Korean one.. but Japanese can be closer than others. Thanks for sharing info with others.
I’m so excited!! I’ll be making this tomorrow! ! I bet it’ll taste good!! Gomwoyo!!
hi sarah,
Did you try your curry rice ? if you did.. I hope you enjoyed it.. ^^ thanks
Hey Aeri!
I’ve been making the curry bap since I discovered your recipe, I’m really enjoying it! I’ll be making tons of it in the future, since I’ll be moving out to live by myself! Thanks for sharing your recipes and tips!
hi Nana,
Thanks for your comment. ^^ This kind of comment is very helpful for future viewers who wonder about this recipe. hehe ^^ Wish you best luck for your own home and life.. ^^
I love making this for a quick, easy meal! I’m pescetarian (eat seafood and fish, but no meat), so I leave out the chicken and add more vegetables. I’ve also made it with the Japanese SB curry blocks before. 🙂
Just wondering… Why is the video unavailable on your site and on YT?
