Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large, diced onion
- 2 medium, peeled and sliced carrots
- 2 medium, peeled and cubed potatoes
- 300 grams, diced protein of your choice (chicken, beef, tofu, etc.)
- 4 cups water
- 100 grams (4 blocks, store-bought) Japanese curry roux
- 4 servings cooked white rice
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
Add the carrots and potatoes to the pot, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the diced protein of your choice to the pot, and cook until lightly seared on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Pour in 4 cups of water, ensuring the ingredients are submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the protein is fully cooked.
Break the Japanese curry roux blocks into smaller pieces and add them to the pot. Stir until completely dissolved, letting the curry thicken.
Simmer the curry uncovered for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Serve the Japanese curry hot over freshly cooked white rice.
