Description

Enjoy a comforting and flavorful Japanese Curry Rice. This dish features tender meat and vegetables simmered in a rich, savory curry sauce, served over fluffy rice.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 lb beef, chicken, or pork, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 carrot, peeled and chopped
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 box (approx. 8 oz) Japanese curry roux cubes
  • 4 cups cooked rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add meat and cook until browned.
  4. Add carrot and potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes.
  5. Pour in water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
  6. Break curry roux cubes into the pot and stir until completely dissolved and the sauce has thickened.
  7. Simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Serve hot curry over cooked rice.

Notes

  • Serve with pickled ginger (beni shoga) or fukujinzuke for a traditional Japanese touch.
