Ingredients

• 3 medium, diced potatoes
• 2 large, peeled and sliced carrots
• 1 large, chopped onion
• 1 medium, diced zucchini
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 100 grams Japanese curry roux
• 4 cups water
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey (or sugar for vegan option)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon pepper
• 4 servings steamed white rice

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all vegetables by washing, peeling, and chopping them into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the carrots and potatoes, cooking for another 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Pour in the water and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.

Step 6

Add the zucchini and broccoli florets to the pot and cook for 5 more minutes.

Step 7

Turn off the heat and stir in the Japanese curry roux, breaking it apart to dissolve fully. Stir until the curry thickens.

Step 8

Season the curry with soy sauce, honey (or sugar for a vegan option), salt, and pepper. Mix well and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Simmer the curry on low heat for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent any sticking.

Step 10

Serve the vegetarian Japanese curry hot over steamed white rice.
