How To Make easy korean keema

  • Step 1
    Cook the rice according to package directions. Heat up a tea kettle full of water to use with the peas.
  • Step 2
    Whisk the sauce ingredients together. Then, stir in the ground round or ground turkey. Set to steep for about 5 minutes
  • Step 3
    Heat up a wok (or heavy pan). When the tea kettle is ready, pour the boiling water over the frozen peas while in a strainer/colander; letting the hot water drain away while thawing the peas. When the wok is hot, add the oil, then the thawed peas and chopped scallions. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Add the ground meat and the sauce, and stir-fry for 4-6 minutes, or until the meat is fully cooked.
  • Step 5
    Add the 2 T. rice wine with 1/4 cup water to swill out the residue of the sauce from the meat-steeping bowl and scrape and pour this into the pan, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds - until it's hot.
  • Step 6
    Serve over hot rice. Scatter cilantro over the top and enjoy!
