Make your own Japanese Curry

Do you have the habit of clipping articles? Well I kept a recipe to make Japanese curry for many years. If I remember right, it originated from the Straits Times contributed by Ms Kuniko Shimada.
 
In early April, I went to Liang Court which I have not visited for a long time, spent some time in the MEIDI-YA Supermarket and was inspired to make Japanese curry which I have not cooked for a while. Here is the recipe - ingredients to serve four and the method.


Curry sauce mix
Bought the curry roux brick from the supermarket. There are many different sauce mix you can choose from.
Ingredients:
60g curry roux brick, mild
60g curry roux brick, hot



Ingredients:
2 medium onions, diced
2 medium potatoes, cubed
2 carrots, cubed
 


Dicing onions is hard work. But I love the layers of colours and patterns! :)
 
Ingredients:
250g chicken, pork, beef, cubed
0.5 Tbs olive oil
700ml water
 
Method:
1) To a heated pot, add olive oil and fry the onions for about 2 minutes until they are fragrant.
2) Add the potatoes, carrots and meat and continue stir-frying for about 5 minutes until the meat is cooked.
 

3) Add water and bring the mixture to a boil before cooking it on medium heat for 20 minutes until the meat is tender.
4) Remove the pot from the flame, add the curry roux bricks and stir until the curry is well mixed.

5) Stew the curry over low heat for another 20 minutes until it thickens.

Yummy Japanese curry rice :)
It's a really simple and delicious recipe. If I can do it, so can you! :P
