Success! I have succeeded. It has taken me quite a while to source decent cuts of meat in Korea...well specifically in my town. However yesterday I succeeded, I found I could buy frozen chicken breasts and for a pretty good price too. Then today I ventured up to Eonyang and sourced as many of the spices as I could to make a curry. I had been shown the shop by a friend recently. I was able to get a hold of coconut milk, curry powder and Tumeric, which means I was missing corriander, but it's pretty good regardless. I also got a ton of cheap vegtables from the market. Then I returned home and set about making my curry. I looked at recipies on the internet, but I found them to be far too complicated, given what I had and I have no means of measuring the items I have, so I just made it up.
1 Onion
2 chicken breasts
1 can of coconut milk
some tumeric, curry powder, paprika, salt, pepper. (not sure of the amounts, just enough to make it look right and for it to taste right).
a dash of chili powder
a dash of olive oil (all I had at hand)
And that's it, other than the rice to go with it. I wish I could have gotten some naan, that would have been amazing. But anyway it worked out pretty well, I just need to play with the spices a bit more next time to try and get it a little closer.
I also made some soup today, much easier to make:
1 onion
1 big potato
3 sticks ofspring onions
2 small vegtable stock cubes
water to cover it.
Then boil to mush and stick it in the blender. Add more water as necessary.
Well didn't mean to start out as a cooking post, but hey there you go, they're both good recipes, taste good and are fairly healthy, well the second one certainly is, the first, maybe less so if eaten often.
