Korean Curry Rice with Kimchi and Pickles
Description | Curry rice was introduced to Korea by the Japanese who ruled there between 1910 and 1945 before Korea gained independence. In turn, curry did not exist in Japan until the British invented curry powder during their occupation of India in order to standardise and distribute India's huge variety of exotic dried spices throughout the world. Like Japanese curry, the Korean version is usually made with a ready made curry roux - a combination of butter, flour and spices - to produce a thick glossy sauce. Our version here is served with sticky rice, a quick version of kimchi (the ubiquitous fermented cabbage dish) pickled radishes and chilli sauce. |

The curry and spicy sauce were lovely. The radishes tasted much better the following day so I'd recommend making these the day before. The kimchi wasn't great - could be down to using a savoy cabbage as we couldn't get hold of a Chinese one. Maybe should have used half a cabbage to get more flavour from the spice packet. I added extra vinegar which improved it a bit. Overall a decent meal!
Really enjoyed this. We switched tofu in for the chicken which made it into a great vegan meal (used fake butter as well). The curry was really tasty and the kimchi was surprisingly good too!.
Wow, nice one!
Loved this. After a great first delivery last month I was preparing myself for a disappointment but, if anything, this was even better than the Xacutti. Again it was easy to follow and very tasty results. Will definitely being doing the curry, Kimchi and the pickled radishes again. The only down side was the chilli sauce which I think would have been excellent were it not for the oil dosage - a tablespoon was too much and got in the way of the flavours a bit
Great to hear! We will have a look at the chilli sauce recipe - thanks for letting us know!
SO DELICIOUS. The best one by far.
Brilliant, really glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic - quicker to prep and cook than some, even the radish side dish was lovely.
Looks delicious!
Kicked of my 3 month subscription for fathers day with this tasty Korean curry...… big thumbs up from all the family..... instructions were easy to follow apart from making the Kimichi, info on this was a bit scarce although google helped me.. sourcing a Chinese cabbage was a no no.. looking forward to next months
Glad everyone enjoyed this, everything looks delicious! So sorry you found some of the instructions a bit scarce, I have passed your feedback on to our recipe developers so that we can tweak this in future. Happy spicing!
I love cooking! My favourite thing to cook is curries, all the smells, textures, colours and tastes are amazing; a true treat on the senses. My mother-in-law and father-in-law baught me this as a birthday present (Thank you again so much!) and I got all the ingredients etc to make it tonight. The cooking instructions were very clear and easy to follow (I even had time to clean and wash up as I went!) The final result was out of this world. I can't believe I had cooked it myself. It was a really tasty curry and introduced some new tasting experiences such as kimchi. I can't wait for the next curry!
It's great to hear that you're enjoying your birthday present! It's always wonderful to have a new taste experience, happy spicing!
Absolutely delicious recipe with multiple layers of flavor and spice! Took a little while to make but definitely worth the effort.
Fantastic- it looks like it was definitely worth the effort, hats off to the chef!
Great tasting meal with easy to follow step by step instructions. We can’t wait for our next spice kit. Thank you Spicery
Yum- everything looks delicious and so flavoursome! Plus we love the pretty crockery too, happy spicing!
A great tasting meal for our date night, we can’t wait for the next spice kit. Thank you Spicery
Looks like the perfect romantic meal for date night to us! <3
Great recipe! We swapped out the chicken for paneer as we don't eat meat and it was delicious, the kimchi was very tasty and surprisingly simple. Honestly can't think of anything we didn't like about it. We will definitely be using the recipe again.
YUM this looks great- we wish we could try some! Glad you enjoyed it so much!
The flavours are absolutely stunning - we swapped out regular potatoes for sweet potatoes on a whim and it still tasted amazing - well worth the effort to cook!
Glad you enjoyed this- it sounds delicious using sweet potatoes too!
Absolutely delicious! The recipe was well explained and the flavours were truly authentic. I can't wait for our next box!
Great job - we can't wait to see what you make next! Happy Spicing!

Ah yes, savoy could be a bit thick perhaps - but great job improvising … that's what this strange time is all about!
