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
Directions
Step 1
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the diced onion and sauté until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add the carrots and potatoes to the pot, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Add the diced protein of your choice to the pot, and cook until lightly seared on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Pour in 4 cups of water, ensuring the ingredients are submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Break the Japanese curry roux blocks into smaller pieces and add them to the pot. Stir until completely dissolved, letting the curry thicken.
Step 8
Simmer the curry uncovered for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 9
Serve the Japanese curry hot over freshly cooked white rice.
