Ottogi Curry Powder Hot 100g

Korea's Beloved Everyday Curry · Hot & Spicy

Ottogi Curry has been Korea's most beloved curry powder since its launch in 1969. Authentic Indian spices — turmeric, coriander, cumin and more — are carefully blended to suit Korean tastes, delivering a rich, deep flavour with a satisfying spicy kick. In Korea, "Curry Rice" (curry poured over steamed white rice) is a staple home-cooked meal cherished since childhood, and one packet makes approximately 5 servings.

What Is Korean-Style Curry?

Curry originally came from India and made its way to Korea via Britain and Japan, but over more than 50 years it has evolved into a distinctly Korean home-cooked staple. Unlike Indian curry, which tends to be thin and intensely spiced, Korean-style curry is thickened slightly with wheat flour to create a rich, pourable sauce that pairs perfectly with steamed white rice.

Ottogi Curry, first launched in 1969 as Korea's very first curry powder brand, holds over 80% of the Korean supermarket curry market. The Hot (spicy) version adds chilli seasoning powder and hot spice blend to the classic mild base, delivering a sharp, lingering heat — much like the depth and spice you find in Italian arrabbiata pasta or Hungarian goulash.

In Korean households, the most common preparation is Curry Rice — potatoes, carrots, onions and beef (or chicken) simmered together and ladled over steamed white rice. It is a menu deeply embedded in Korean food culture, from children's Dosirak (lunchboxes) to military canteens and school cafeterias alike.

Korean Ways to Enjoy · Authentic Serving Ideas

Classic Korean ways to enjoy Ottogi Curry Hot at home — one packet (100g) makes approximately 5 servings.

Curry Rice

카레라이스

The most beloved way to enjoy curry in Korea. Stir-fry onions, potatoes, carrots and beef (or chicken), add 700ml of water and bring to the boil, then dissolve 100g of curry powder and simmer for a further 5 minutes. Ladle generously over steamed white rice — a true Korean home-cooking classic.

Curry Udon

카레우동

A warm noodle dish made by adding anchovy broth and udon noodles to leftover curry. Originally inspired by Japan but enjoyed in Korea with an extra spicy twist — a favourite on rainy days and cold winter evenings.

Curry Bokkeumbap

카레볶음밥

A one-bowl dish made by stir-frying cooked rice directly with curry powder. Add diced vegetables, ham and egg for a fragrant golden fried rice. Also a popular Dosirak (lunchbox) option.

Curry Tteokbokki

카레떡볶이

A creative twist on Tteokbokki (Korean rice cake dish) using curry sauce instead of Gochujang (red pepper paste). Rice cakes and fish cakes braised in curry sauce deliver a spicy, aromatic flavour that is quite different from the classic version — a popular item at Korean street food stalls.

Curry Donkkaseu

카레돈까스

A Western-style Korean restaurant favourite: crispy fried pork cutlet (Donkkaseu) topped with a rich curry sauce. Served with steamed white rice for a hearty, satisfying meal.

Curry Ramyeon

카레라면

A Korean instant noodle hack: add a spoonful of curry powder to boiling Ramyeon for a golden, spiced broth with extra depth. A well-known "upgrade trick" popular among students and young Koreans living alone.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is Ottogi Curry Hot and how does it differ from Indian curry?

Ottogi Curry Hot is a Korean-style curry powder based on an authentic spice blend including turmeric (India), coriander (Morocco/Canada), cumin, fenugreek and fennel. While the spice composition is similar to Indian curry, Korean-style curry is typically finished as a smoother, thicker sauce with a mild sweetness. This hot version adds seasoned chilli powder and hot spice seasoning for a pronounced spicy flavour. Unlike Japanese curry, which comes in solid roux blocks, this powder format allows you to freely adjust the consistency by varying the amount of water.

Does this product contain any allergens?

Yes. Based on the EU 14 mandatory allergens, this product contains: ① Gluten (wheat flour — wheat: USA/Australia), ② Soybeans (Ottogi seasoning), ③ Milk (vegetable cream), ④ Mustard (present in the hot spice seasoning — EU mandatory allergen declaration). This product is also manufactured in a facility that handles eggs, crustaceans (shrimp), pork and tomatoes, so cross-contamination is possible. Anyone with allergies to these ingredients should exercise caution before consuming.

Is this product suitable for vegans or vegetarians?

No, this product is not suitable for either vegans or vegetarians. The ingredients include milk-derived vegetable cream and other animal-derived components, as well as ingredients sourced from meat or fish. We do not recommend this product for those following a vegetarian or vegan diet.

I heard this product is high in sodium — how much does it contain?

Yes, this product has a very high sodium content. Per 100g, it contains approximately 3,480mg of sodium (equivalent to approx. 8.7g of salt), which exceeds EU high-salt thresholds. However, as this is a curry powder that is diluted with water during cooking, the sodium per typical serving (approx. 25g of powder used) is around 870mg. Those on a low-sodium diet or with high blood pressure or kidney conditions should monitor their intake carefully and consult a doctor or dietitian if necessary.

How should I store this product and how long will it keep?

Before opening, store at room temperature in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. No refrigeration is required for this powder format. Once opened, reseal tightly to prevent moisture ingress and use as soon as possible. Always check the best-before date printed on the packaging. One 100g packet yields approximately 4 servings (based on 25g per serving).
