Here’s the newest variety from Samyang Foods’ Buldak Bokkeummyun line. Curry! I make no illusion to the fact that I absolutely think that curry is the finest thing in the universe. I freaking love curry. Here’s a little about Korean c urry from Wikipedia –
Though curry was introduced to Korea in the 1940s, the Indian dish was only popularized decades later, when Ottogi entered the Korean food industry by launching its powder-type curry product in 1969.[28][29] Korean curry, usually served with rice, is characterized by the golden yellow colour from turmeric.
Curry tteokbokki, along with curry rice, is one of the most popular curry dishes in Korea. It is made of tteok (rice cakes), eomuk (fish cakes), eggs, vegetables, and curry. Curry can be added to various Korean dishes such as bokkeumbap (fried rice), sundubujjigae (silken tofu stew), fried chicken, vegetable stir-fries, and salads. Curry is also in Korean-style western food such as pasta and steak, as well as Korean-style Japanese food such as cream udon.
Wow curry rice cake sounds really good – I’ve had Korean curry a couple of times – more like a stew. I find it fascinating that there are so many curries are around the world. Indeed, this is a new one for me – I don’t think I’ve done a review of South Korean curry stir noodles. Let’s crack this pack open and give it a try!
