I am calling this RED Chunky Pork & Potatoes Curry because compared to all the curry dishes I have made before, either pork or chicken, this one is well, red. Maybe I should name it tomato-based pork and potatoes curry instead but RED sounds cooler, HAH!

In any case, this was really good if I say so myself. The smell of curry permeating the house while it’s simmering is definitely something to get used to. You must really love or at least like curry dishes a bit to appreciate the aroma while it’s cooking. But once you take a bite, and a then few more bites, I’m telling you, IT IS GOOD!

If someone would ask me to name 2 Korean dishes that I love, easily I’d say kimchi and bulgogi. The spiciest the better, especially kimchi. The pork bulgogi I made for tonight’s dinner doesn’t have the spicy flavor that I really love because I wanted my son to enjoy dinner too without drinking a gallon of water by the end of the night, hah. To continue my light dinner plans, instead of rice, I decided to serve the pork bulgogi with corn tortillas, then the husband added a few flour tortillas as well.

My husband spent a year in Korea a few years back through his career in the Army. He would always tell me stories about the food that he tasted while over there. One of the most famous food Korea is known for is kimchi. They have all sorts of kimichi dishes there in Korea. Kimchi is not just eaten as a side dish. Sometimes people would incorporate kimchi into meat items to create a dish out of it.

One in particular is the pork and kimchi combination. I did my own version and wished for the best. I was afraid it was going to be so hot and spicy that we wouldn’t be able to eat the dish but my version turned out ok.

Did I tell you I like green beans? I do. I also like curry dishes. Any kind of curry dishes, simple or complicated. Simple curry dishes are what I make, with pork, chicken wings, or shrimp. Now here’s a Crab Flakes & Green Beans Curry Stir-Fry.

Now here’s a shrimp version of the curry pork & green beans stir-fry dish. This Curry Shrimp & Green Beans Stir-Fry is just as easy to make just the pork version. If you want to make a chicken version of the dish, why not? I’m sure it will be good too.

While my family thought of yummy crunchy peanut butter sandwiches, I thought of a yummy crunchy peanut butter sauce for a pork stir-fry. Yeah, somewhere, somehow, our thought wavelength didn’t meet in the middle which happens quite often. Someday, there will be a place for us, but obviously not on the day we bought the jar of crunchy peanut butter. [NAME THAT SONG!] Anyhoooo…...

The brown mustard and duck sauce combination to marinate the chicken is just another one of my experimentation in the kitchen. I like to do that a lot just to see how the flavors will come out. Fortunately for my family’s sake, most of my marinades turn out really delish.

I have a few more packets of the duck sauce which I raved about last month in the Chicken In Soy Lemon & Duck Sauce recipe  so I figured I’d use ‘em up for this dish.

In a marinating bowl...

This is the chicken wings curry that I’ve mentioned back in May when I went on a curry-cooking spree. It’s 3 months in the making but hey, it’s here now, HAHA! By the way, in case you are wondering why it took this long, it’s because I have a video of it but I can’t seem to find the motivation to edit/shorten/convert/upload the video. So I’ve decided to post this now while it’s still 2011 since I cooked this curry dish this year after all.

Heat up oil in a pan...

I’ve used Mojito in london broil, chicken, and flank steak but never in pork which is quite a surprise coz I prefer pork over any of other meat. I finally had the chance to introduce Mojito to pork a couple of days ago via these pork satay. I used 1 bottle of the 2 Bacardi Mojito bottles left from a 6-pack that I bought last weekend.

Cooking with Mojito had always given me great results so I didn’t feel like I wasted my drink at all. But I was tempted to chug that bottle for sure, haha.

I cut a 6-...
