Korean Curry

Korean curry is more thick and stew-like than other curries. The apple and onion adds some sweetness to the spice.

Ingredients:
1/2 brick (package) of curry block (sold in Asian food stores in either medium or medium-hot)
3 cups of water
1 large onion chopped
1 large bell pepper chopped
1 potato chopped into cubes(optional)
1 apple chopped into cubes (optional)
1 lb of chicken (or for more flavor use a can of spam)

Stir fry the onion, bell pepper and meat until slight browned. Add in water to a boil along with the potato and apple. Add in 1/2 brick of the curry and stir until melted completely. Serve with rice.

Kimchi Stew

This is my fave way to cook Kimchi Stew using spam as the meat. It makes it really savory.
I like adding in the cellophance noodles and rice cakes to add different textures to the stew.
If it gets too spicy for you, you can also add in cubes of tofu.

Ingredients:
1 half can of cut up into squares spam
4 cups of kimchi (preferably well fermented not just made kimchi)
1/2 large onion chopped (prefer sweet onion)
4 cups of water
1 cup of chopped mushrooms (optional)
a few cellophane noodles (optional)
a fistful of sliced rice cakes (optional)

On a medium heated saucepan, brown the spam and then add in the kimchi. Keep stiring until the kimchi is starting to wilt and the spam is cooked (about 5 minutes). Add in water (to the point BEFORE it covers the top of the ingredients in the sauce pan. Let boil and add into onions and turn down heat a little. Add in mushrooms, rice cakes, and cellophane noodles and stir until cooked through. Serve with rice.
