Description

Japanese curry is a rich, flavorful dish featuring a thick, savory sauce with a hint of sweetness served over rice. Made using Japanese curry roux, tender meat, and vegetables like potatoes and carrots, it’s a comforting and hearty meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 potato, diced
  • 2 large carrots, diced
  • 2 cup mushrooms (any type is fine, but I recommend shiitake, enoki, or shimeji)
  • 1 lb boneless/skinless chicken breasts or thighs, diced
  • 6-8 oz. Japanese curry roux (I recommend starting with 6 oz., then add more or less depending on how thick you like your curry)
  • 5 1/3 cup water
  • 8 servings rice (I recommend Japanese short-grain or medium grain rice for the most authentic Japanese experience!)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat up some neutral cooking oil. Add the chicken, cooking until browned.
  2. Add the mushrooms, potatoes, carrots, and water to the pot. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, cooking until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
  3. Stir in the curry roux until fully combined. Add more or less curry roux and water, depending on your desired level of thickness.
  4. Serve the curry on top of rice and enjoy!
