Easy and Delicious Japanese Curry
Japanese Curry is a rich, savory stew filled with slightly sweet, spicy, and umami flavors. Perfect served over rice.
Ingredients
- 1 box Japanese Curry roux mix 8.11 oz
- 1 pound Meat of choice Chicken, beef, pork or seafood
- 1 onion, large diced
- 1 pound potatoes chopped
- 1-3 carrots peeled and diced
- 2 tbsp oil
- 6 cups broth of choice may use water (use 5 1/2 c if covering pot)
Optional Ingredients
- 1-2 apples peeled and shredded
- 1 bell pepper diced
- 1/2 cup Vegetables of choice: peas, mushrooms, green beans, broccoli, etc
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Heat a dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Add oil until heated.
- Add onions and bell pepper if using. Saute until onions are soft. For more flavor, saute longer until onions start to caramelize.
- Add remaining vegetables and saute for about 5-10 minutes.
- Add ground beef if using and brown. If using chicken, pork, or seafood, separate pan and add to pot when ready. Drain any excess fat that forms.
- Add shredded apple if using and 1-2 curry bricks. Allow to dissolve while stirring.
- Add broth, bring to boil, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
- Add remaining curry bricks. Stir until dissolved.
- Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until curry is thickened.
- Serve over rice.
Notes
- If using any of the optional ingredients, such as the sauces, be sure to go slowly and add one at a time to taste. The sauce is very flavorful on its own.
- If adding other vegetables, add them at the same step as the shredded apples. Be sure they're chopped small enough to cook in the same time as the carrots and potatoes.
- You can serve the curry over rice or pasta, although rice is most traditional.
