Japanese Chicken Curry

1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

salt (I use Diamond Crystal; Use half for table salt)

black pepper

carrots

onions

potatoes ((2-3 yukon gold potatoes

½ Tbsp ginger ((grated))

garlic

½ Tbsp neutral-flavored oil (vegetable, canola, etc)

chicken stock/broth ((960 ml; For low-sodium intake,

apple ((I used Fuji apple; use

Tbsp honey

salt

Japanese curry roux

½ Tbsp soy sauce

Tbsp ketchup

Fukujinzuke (red pickled daikon)

Gather all the ingredients.

Discard the extra fat from the chicken and cut it into bite size pieces. Season with a little bit of salt and pepper.

Peel and cut the carrot in rolling wedges (Rangiri) and cut the onions in wedges.

Cut the potatoes into 1.5 inch pieces and soak in water for 15 minutes to remove excess starch.

Grate the ginger and crush the garlic.

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat and sauté the onions until they become translucent.

Add the ginger and garlic.

Add the chicken and cook until the chicken changes color.

Add the carrot and mix.

Add the chicken broth (or water).

Bring the stock to boil and skim the scrum and fat from the surface of the stock.

Peel the apple and grate it (use as much as you like to add sweetness)

Add the honey and salt and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the potatoes and cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, and turn off the heat. Meanwhile you can make homemade curry roux.

When the potatoes are ready, add the curry. If you use the store-bought curry roux, put 1-2 blocks of roux in a ladle and slowly let it dissolve with spoon or chopsticks. Continue with the rest of blocks. Then go to Step #17.

If you are using homemade curry roux, add a ladleful or two of cooking liquid from the stock and mix into the curry paste. Add more cooking liquid if necessary and mix well until it’s smooth.

Add the roux paste back into the stock in the large pot and stir to combine.

Add soy sauce and ketchup. Simmer uncovered on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the curry becomes thick.

Serve the curry with Japanese rice on the side and garnish with soft boiled egg and Fukujinzuke. You can store the curry in the refrigerator up to 2-3 days and in the freezer for 1 month. Potatoes will change the texture so you can take them out before freezing.

One the of easiest from-scratch curries you will ever make, this Japanese curry roux has an amazing depth of flavor, giving your curry a deep, rich flavor that is just amazing.&nbsp;

Curry roux

Keema Curry is a traditional Indian curry dish made of ground meat and minced vegetables. This type of curry started to appear in Japan in the 1950s and it&#039;s been adapted to Japanese taste.

Keema Curry

onion ((7 oz, 200 g))

celery ((2 oz, 57 g))

carrot ((3.5 oz, 100 g))

shiitake mushrooms

Tbsp neutral-flavored oil (vegetable, rice bran, canola, etc)

lb pork

chicken broth ((You can use vegetable stock

water ((or more))

Tbsp Tonkatsu sauce

eggs ((I always like to add, but optional))

Gather all the ingredients. Prepare steamed rice first, if you don&#039;t have any.

Chop the onion finely. With the knife tip pointing toward the root, slice the onion to within ½ inch of the base. Make about ¼ inch parallel cuts. Then slice the onion horizontally about ¼ inch parallel cuts.

Then cut perpendicular to the first slices you made. If the onions need to be chopped finer, you can run your knife through them in a rocking motion. Be sure to hold down the tip of the knife; otherwise, the onions are going to go flying around.

Cut the celery into 4-inch pieces, then thin sticks, and mince them.

Cut the carrot into 4-inch thin slabs, then thin sticks, and mince them.

Remove the stem of shiitake mushrooms and slice them, and mince them.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until translucent.

Add ground pork and cook until no longer pink.

Season with salt and pepper.

Add celery, carrots, and shiitake mushrooms and mix well with the rest of the ingredients.

Add chicken stock and water. Add more water, if necessary, so the cooking liquid covers the ingredients.

Add curry powder and mix well. Cover and bring it to boil. Skim off the scum and foam on the surface with a fine-mesh skimmer as necessary. Reduce heat to medium-low heat and cook covered until the vegetables are tender, about 6-8 minutes.

Add curry roux (one piece at a time!) and butter and let them dissolved completely. The curry will thicken as it&#039;s heated up. Adjust the thickness of the curry with water/broth. You can make it soupy if you prefer.

Add ketchup and Tonkatsu sauce. Mix well and simmer for 3-5 minutes. If the sauce is too thick, add a small amount of water to adjust.

Serve the Keema Curry over steamed rice and top with a fried egg, if you like.

Keep in the airtight container for up to 2-3 days. This recipe freezes well, so make a large portion, divide it up, and freeze for up to a month.
