Japanese Curry 101

I am definitely a japanese food lover... that's why i like to experiment and cook some japanese dishes for my family...

recently, my elder sister reminded me that i "owed" her a pot of japanese curry... hahaha... how did i owe her a pot of japanese curry??? i have no idea... lol... but still i decided to cook it for her, since she had been asking for it since quite far back...




i usually use this brand of the curry mix - Golden Curry Sauce Mix and always the Hot one (cause Japanese Curry isn't spicy at all...)



ingredients for Japanese Curry (Serves 5):
you may change the proportion of the ingredients to your liking, i usually choose pork belly because of the amount of fat in it.. it kind of makes the curry smell more fragrant... you may substitute it with chicken as well... all up to you...

Step 1:

Heat frying pan with a little oil. Once the pan is hot, throw in onions and fry until fragrant and see-through.




Step 2:




Once onions turn transparent, throw in carrots and fry for about 5 minutes


Step 3:


Throw in meat and continue to fry till meat gets cooked




Step 4:


Then add in the sliced button mushrooms and continue frying for a few minutes.




Step 5:


Add in 2 1/2 cups of water into the pan and cook for 15 to 20 minutes under slow fire. (Note: boil it longer if you want the carrots to be softer)


Step 6:


Then break the Sauce Mix Cake into smaller pieces and throw it into the pan. Mix thoroughly to ensure that the sauce is evenly distributed. Simmer for 1 - 2 more minutes


Step 7:


Finally, scoop a generous serving of your Japanese Curry onto a plate of piping hot rice and enjoy your very own Japanese Curry!


I do hope that the curry will turn out to your liking, i was quite satisfied with my creation... hehe... quite idiot proof... lol

anyway, here are some tips to improve on the taste and texture of your curry... (i haven't exactly tried this method but it should do the trick to improve the taste of the curry)
  1. if you prefer your carrots to be very soft, you may want to start frying the carrots first, then put them aside to fry the onions before putting the carrots back in to fry... the carrots in my curry were still a little too crunchy for my sister's taste, so i think i will try this method next time
  2. to make the meat softer, tenderize the meat by pounding it, this would make the meat softer and nice as well
hope that you guys will like this recipe... Itadakimasu!!!
