Korean Pork Curry

Mild curry dish popular in Korea, includes ingredients you can find in your local grocery store and Korean/Asian market. The 'Ottogi' version of the curry simply leaves out the meat, making this a great dish for vegetarians. Feel free to add bell peppers. It is important to note that the curry powder used in this recipe is a pre-made mixture and not regular curry powder you can buy in every supermarket. I personally use Assi brand Korean products in my kitchen. For this recipe, I used 'Assi curry powder, mild-hot.' Serve over rice.
